Texas

At the beginning of May we took a trip to Texas to visit my Nana and some of our close friends that we haven't had to see since Alan started school.  With the price of tickets so cheap we decided to brave the airport instead of making the long drive with the kids.  Peter would have been happy to just ride the shuttle bus from the parking lot to the airport.

Peter was awesome during the flight he was so excited to be on a plane. Between looking out the window and talking about the wings and how he was flying, watching Finding Nemo and drinking his little juice he was an angel.  Isaac on the other hand used us as a trampoline for most of the flight.

As we were leaving the plane the pilot asked if Peter wanted to have a seat in the cockpit...the answer was yes of course, and you should have seen his eyes when he saw all the buttons and lights! 

We headed straight from the airport to my Nana's house for a visit where the boys entertained her with their antics and little boy charm and thankfully didn't detroy anything too much!  We met up with my Nana's brother and sister for dinner at our favorite chicken place called Babe's.

 It was so good to visit and we are so glad she is in good health, if only we could get her to move closer :)

 Someone told our waitress that it was Alan's birthday and as they sang Happy Birthday he had to wear a sombrero and ride a toy horse.  Alan was a good sport and galloped all over the restaurant.  I got it on video but promised I would not post it.

 We then headed to visit our friends from our old ward.  Their daughter Tessa had a whole party planned for Alan complete with a puppet show and games that she created herself which we enjoyed with the Fitzgeralds.  I missed most of it because I was trying to get Isaac to sleep but it must have been good because I kept hearing lots of laughter.

 Here are the boys playing at the park, they had so much fun being little boys together!

From the time Maren and I were pregnant and knew we were having little boys we have talked about them being friends even though we were moving away, and to our delight they became just that during our trip.  They were so cute together side by side vegging out to veggie tales...

and during their self created "catch and release" game with the poor plastic fish!

 Their giggles were adorable! 

It was so good to see our friends again and we are so excited that both families are done with school so we will hopefully get to see them more often.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our life.
