Justin Roberts/Veterans Day/Wurstfest

-
We had such a good time last weekend!
Friday evening we met our friends at the Railyard for a quick dinner and then all made our way to a Justin Roberts concert at the Methodist Church. The kids bounced around and the band was great, but Davis had his first realization that his dearest girl friends are starting to think he is yucky. It brought out the mama bear in me to see his eyes filled with tears and his friends shied away from dancing with him, but he didn't want me to comfort him. They are growing up and things are changing! It is hard. Luckily, Samuel still danced with me!
Saturday morning we faced the rain and went to the Veteran's Day parade. Michael and the boys walked with the cub scouts and I waited at the square in the rain. Right as the parade began, my friend Norma joined me and then my parents came with my nephew Kade and my Gramp! I was so happy he could come as he is a WW2 vet. It was a moving parade.
Saturday afternoon we had a soccer game and both sets of the boys grandparents came to see them and their cousin Kade. When the game was over, Martha and Clark had to leave, but we were still ready for some fun, so we went over to my parent's house and built a fire and cracked open the wine and put our feet up and had a lovely dinner. Kade and the boys played so well together! I love that the cousins are bonding.
Sunday morning my mom made all the boys pancakes and then we picked up Lilliana and drove to New Braunfels where we met up with Martha and Clark and we all walked over to Wurstfest.
We got there right as it opened and that was a great time as it wasn't very crowded at all. My parents bought the kids all wristbands and they rode all the carnival rides a lot of times. We ran through the food area and got stuffed avocados and fried vegetables and then Martha and Lilliana and I tried to polka to the great band they had on stage. As we left the food area, I ran into my friends Elizabeth and Beto and their boys. We sat with them at their table after my parents took Lilliana and Kade home and our boys and theirs took off together to do all the carnival rides again. Samuel did great on the rides and didn't get sick once! I'm hoping maybe he is outgrowing his motion sickness!
It was a very busy, very fun weekend full of family and friends. I want to spend this time with my kids before they don't want to spend time with me!

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
