DFW Weekend Fun....

We headed off to Dallas/Fort Worth this past weekend to get the cousins together, and to see some family and friends. It was fun to hang out with everyone and Braden loved time with other little people his size!! :) And he loves playing with his two girl cousins-Riley and Lainey!! :)

We got into town Friday night and got back to Austin Monday evening. Was nice to have that extra day in there. :) I wish I always had three day weekends!! :)

Saturday morning we got up bright and early to head over to Chris's dad's house for some swimming fun. Can you tell we LOVE swimming this summer? :) We had to be careful with Braden since he had just had his tube surgery on Thursday. We put some cotton in his ears and tried to keep him away from any splashing. :) He enjoyed just being out there in the water and watching the action...so he was a happy boy.

Saturday afternoon, Chris's mom, sister and I headed over to a bridal shower for one of Chris and Katie's cousins. She and her fiance' are getting married in October, so there was a lot of gift opening in preparation for that. :)

Sweet little Riley ready to play... :)

Mimi Cox hanging out at the pool watching the kiddos swim together...Jay was doing some serious relaxing! :)
Riley and Braden with their water toys......
I LOVE these rings!! How many can I hold at one time? :)Katie and Riley.....
Braden talking to Aunt Katie about important business. :) Miss Riley is already a good swimmer!
Braden just floated around and tried not to get wet from the neck up! LOL! :)Jay and Katie...the little lovebirds. :)Three generations of Bugbee men....I see you! :)Riley loved to jump from the waterfall. :)

Sunday we went and visited some friends that we had not seen in awhile. Good to hang out and meet some of their new additions to their family, see some new homes, and just catch up on old times! :)

Lauren and Cody just had their first baby...Kyler William Kimmel. Such a little sweetie and I totally hogged him the entire time we were there! LOL! :) They are the cutest little parents. :) Braden thought it would be fun to show them what all they needed to childproof in their home before Kyler started crawling. :) Then we headed over to Arturo and Jayme's house to hang out for a little bit..and let little Arturo and Braden spend some time together. They were working on a toolbox here. :) Actually, I think Braden was just eating the toys! LOL! :)
He did LOVE that indoor slide though! :) Good stuff! Arturo was also a great swimmer! :)We did not really mean to dress Chris and Braden alike but it just kind of turned out that way. :) Braden is looking at us like "What you talking about Willis?!!" :)

Then we headed over to David and Tracy's to see their fun new house. The highlight for Braden (other than crawling all around their spacious living room with huge windows) was this cast iron cat on the fireplace. Seriously hilarious!! He was petting it and stuff and we were all just cracking up!! Tracy said it is a hit with all the kids!! LOVE IT! :)

He is looking at us like "So can I pet the cat or what?" :) Making us laugh.......... Hanging out with David... :)

Sunday was a super eventful day...and Monday morning we let Braden and Riley have one more ounce of fun before we headed over to see my brother, sister in law, and our niece, Lainey.

Riley kissing B...so sweet.

Let's play kitchen!! :) I read the recipe and you chew on the spoons! :) Sweet cousins.......

Mimi C and her grandbabies.....

I have NO idea why I did not take pics later that day of Braden and Lainey together. I guess b.c they were both probably running around like banshees having fun...and we could not contain them! LOL! :) Trust me though, we had lots of fun at Cory and Jen's....and I love seeing those two together as well. The best part of that day was when Braden said "Lainey". Too incredibly precious, so we practiced on the car ride home and recorded it! :) We are working on "Riley" now. :)

Thanks for the fun family!! We will see you all soon! :)
