Let The Good Times Roll!

I have a few more pictures I wanted to share from our weekend with Bon, Vinny, and Jarrett.  A lot of you ask my about Bonnie from time to time and how she is doing….she’s contemplating blogging again and I hope she does it!  I miss her blogging with me 🙂
Vinny is a really nice guy and he’s a pharmacist in Little Rock.  He was also very good with Jarrett, so that is such a blessing.  Hopefully things will continue to go well for them and it was nice to meet the man in her life!
I just hope they take their time and let the relationship develop.  Pray for them as they continue their journey together!  Overall, I’m glad she’s happy and it’s good to see her in a healthy, happy, loving place right now.
The boys had such a good time together playing and wrestling and tearing up the house….but isn’t that what all 2 year olds do???
I just wish they could spend more time together!
Watching Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood
It’s always a tradition for us to get scratch off tickets when Bonnie comes to visit.  This started a long time ago and we’ve just continued doing it!  We both put in $20 and we won $109!!!  Woohoo!!!
 Our Moolah!
 Saying goodbye to cousin….

 This was our first night at dinner…I don’t know why both our eyes are closed….but it’s funny!

 Maybe the flash bothered Connor? ha ha!
 Me and Bon and our false teeth
We could so be on Toddlers & Tiaras with our “flippers”
You think we could win???

 I love this picture of Connor and Terence…melt my heart!
 Bath time! They played in there for a long time.

On Sunday we met up with Amber for breakfast at La Madeleine’s….we were fashionably late thanks to Bonnie.  This is notorious for her…..believe me I grew up with her!

We had a fab breakfast with Amber and visit 🙂
I can’t wait until ya’ll come back soon!
Thanks for coming to see us!!!

Actually I can’t wait to go home to AR to see all my friends and family too…..home again home again…here I come!

Dallas Arboretum {Visit with Bonnie,Jarrett, & Vinny}

This past weekend my sister, Bonnie, and her boyfriend Vinny….along with my little red-headed nephew Jarrett headed up to Texas for a visit.  We had a great time with them.  I wish we had more than just a day….but we made the most of it!  The boys had such a great time playing together and running all around the house. 
Saturday we woke up early and headed to the Dallas Arboretum.  I’ve always wanted to go because it seemed like such a pretty place and it did not disappoint.  The Chihuly exhibit was AMAZING!  It’s all these hand blown glass sculptures and pieces of magnificent artwork.  I think it would be awesome to see that at night too.  If you are ever in the Dallas area this would be a great place to check out!
*WARNING*
Picture overload ahead!!!!!
We got some cutie pie pics of our boys together….let me just say it isn’t the easiest thing to get two 2 year olds to look and smile at the same time!

 They are growing up waaaaaay too fast!

Home Styles

I love watching home renovating shows, moving shows, decorating shows and all that sort of thing on TV.  We’ve had gorgeous weather here lately….I was driving around and had my camera with me and I just started driving through these adorable neighborhoods….dreaming…..
 
Maybe a little bit stalkerish….but I love looking at homes.  Especially ones that aren’t cookie cutters of each other.  I love that all these homes were charming and had character.  I’m sure they all have a great history behind them too.
 
I love this style here…the windows and arches. So cute.
I love the arched windows & door on this home:
Cute fall porch
Gorgeous. A little out of our league though!
Love this wrap around porch too!
Pretty fall wreaths
This home was so charming, I love the bright color.
Fall porch
I dunno…I might be afraid to trick-or-treat here???
 
And last but not least….a photo of my booger.

Man he is getting so big 🙂
 


And because this blog is all about dreams and hopes…..

 

Love this floor plan.

 

I don’t want a two story home and this has the perfect amount of space without being too big to keep clean…..someday 🙂  It’s fun to dream……
