Day Out with Thomas

Last year we wanted to go to Day Out with Thomas with our good friends the Garners before we moved to TX, but too little time and too much packing didn't let us go to the one in Bryson City last July - luckily its an annual event all over the country so we were able to hop over to Grapevine, TX for Day Out with Thomas 2012.  I'm glad we waited to go until this year - Gus was the perfect age to enjoy this fun family event.  He loved every minute of it, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect, he was waving goodbye and saying "Goodbye Thomas Day - thank you" as we left - it was priceless.

 Woo Woo - All Aboard!

 Sporting a James tattoo on his hand - Percy on the other hand (of course!)

 Too focused on the "big choo choo" to take a decent picture 

 He immediately hugged Sir Topham Hatt - so sweet 

Riding the small choo choo - to which he protests "No, I want to go on the big choo choo" - I think he thought this was all a sham and that he wasn't going to get to ride on Thomas

 Carson loved the train ride too - much better than the North Pole Express at Christmas (2 weeks old vs. 5 months - makes a huge difference, on and no annoying screaming elf this time!)

 She's official - go her Day Out with Thomas certificate and all 

 Punching his ticket - just like the Polar Express - he was amazed

Bye Thomas - thanks for a great day!

Easter 2012

We had a fun Easter week this year, I'm a little behind in posting about it, but we've been on the go a lot lately! Much like Halloween, Gus was a slow star to the Easter Egg hunt concept, but by day 4 - he had the routine down pat and was on the mission for candy filled eggs. We attended services at our church here in Keller and then spent the rest of the rainy Sunday at my dear cousin Mary's house with family - it was a great day despite the nasty weather!

Love this little boy - sporting his Daddy's outfit from when he was 2 :)

Laugh Out Loud

Gus and Carson feed off each others' giggles, today was an especially good day and I caught it on video - it was hilarious, I could hardly stop laughing myself. Love these two smiley kiddos and their infectious energy!
