I'm so behind it's embarassing....

Life just keeps getting busier and busier! So here goes a few catch up posts...

Roanoke has as really cute little downtown area we discovered. So fun!

 Shelly bought this snake at the Rainforest Cafe FOREVER ago for Levi. I never dreamed it would sleep with Chloe so  often! Ha

 They are both growing so incredibly fast. I definitely do not feel like I have a baby anymore, just two grown little people walking around with me!

 We met up with the Gann's at the zoo. Always a great time with them!

 I swear it still seems like it's not real that they belong to us!

 "fishing" at the library

 Chloe's favorite thing to do at the zoo is feed the crazy goats!!

 Proof that mom is CHOPPED LIVER. 

 I got to meet up with my friend Marissa again one more time before her sweet little girl was born! These are our two littles. :)

Amarillo! (And a couple of other random ones...)

Uncle Brent came up to hang out with us!

 This was Chloe's first time playing dress up. She really wasn't all that sure about it!

 Little stinker would not put this hat down!

 I think this was the day it was like 60 degrees. IN JULY! IN TEXAS! We had dentist appointments that morning, so we decided to enjoy the zoo afterwards!

We finally made a trip to visit our Amarillo clan!!! First up was checking out Mimi's new place! The kids loved walking around the little duck pond!!

 The next morning we headed out to the barn to ride the horse. They both did so incredibly well this time! No tears!

The time has come for the battle of the outdoor musicals! I really loved Texas! It was very different than the Fandangle, more professional. The Fandangle is more country, small town people (my favorite kind of people by the way!) just telling a story. 

I don't know how we kept up with these 4.....they're trouble!

 Palo Duro Canyon is SO gorgeous!!!!!

 Who knew? Nuns like Texas! too!!

 Can't beat that scenery!!!

Up next was Wonderland!!!! This was almost torturous for our tiny little daredevil. :( Levi was tall enough to ride quite a few more things....and wouldn't ride any of them. Chloe was an inch too short to ride everything, and literally threw a fit every time she was too small. :( 

 Levi had a BLAST on the kiddie rides!

 And Chloe did MUCH better following the rules this year! No jumping out of cars, or climbing over the seats on the boats. Whew....

 We finally got this guy on the frog hopper!! He loved it then, of course!

Frog Hoppin'

We had a wonderful weekend with Mimi, Grams and Pops. Always good to get to see them!! And we were sure glad Daddy got to go this year! He kept wondering why on earth we had all these "last year...." times, well it was because we'd just opened Ardmore and he worked all the time!

Medieval Times

We were hoping to squeeze in a little mini staycation, ,but life happened....and it ended up just a night out to Medieval Times. It was all good though, we had a wonderful day together!

First, we stopped at the Galleria for some new kicks. They both had on other really cute shoes...but they decided these were their "fast" shoes after we bought them. I swear they probably ran a mile around that mall!

Waiting to go into the castle!! 

We were the blue knight!!!

Sorry these are all out of order, but this was afterwards with our knight!

 Chloe was so funny! She was REALLY into it any time a horse came out, and then she was back to playing with her light up wand.

 Levi got a sword of course! You must have one when you're a knight!!

 Prepare to laugh...

Chasing her tail....

Any day spent with these 3 is a wonderful one! I love taking them to experience new things, no matter what it is!!!

Some Clowns and Some Other Celebrations

The circus clowns came to NCTC a few weeks ago. The kids LOOOOOOVED IT!!! 

 Levi doesn't look too happy here, but I assure you he was BELLY LAUGHING through the whole thing!

So remember that time....not too long ago....Chloe looked like this.....

 not anymore!!! Watching the parade from the exact same spot, 2 years later.

We hung out with Nana and Grandpa on the 4th!

 Started with the pancake breakfast....

 Did some small "fiya wackas" as Chloe calls them. This was HUGE for both Levi and myself. Neither of us really like firecrackers!

 Hot mess waiting on the fireworks show!

 Cheesy grin!

The next day we had a long day of birthday parties!

 First up was this handsome little fella!! Sweet Hason!!!

Chloe was asleep literally before we got out of their neighborhood! Better nap quick sister, Collin's house is only about 30 minutes away!

More swimming!! 

 Gosh it's been WAY too long since I got to see my Gigi!!! So glad to get to hang out with Holly's family and celebrate this little handsome guy turning 1 as well!!!

 Then we got to meet up with Mimi and Grams and Pops for lunch on Sunday before they headed back to Amarillo!

We were definitely wiped out Sunday afternoon!! Haha!
