Quick Trip to Dallas

We made a quick trip to Dallas last weekend to visit some of Gunnar's family and pick up a motorcycle.  Kit had had the worst week of his life in the sleep department and we were SO exhausted but decided to go anyway.  We figured we were tired anyway we might actually get more rest somewhere besides home.  Plus we had taken care of the reasons Kit wasn't sleeping.  So glad we went!  Kit slept better there than he had been at home and we got to spend a lot of time with fun family we don't get to see very often!

Monte's cap is too small but it's become his favorite and it's always on just a little bit crooked!  

We made a Sonic stop on our way through Angelo and the boys just love to crawl all over Gunnar!  Cracks me up!

We got to Gunnar's cousin house around 11 and were hopeful that the boys would just transfer inside to bed.  It was our first attempt at traveling at night so the boys would sleep.  Worked pretty well on the drive but both boys woke up as soon as we got there. Haha oh well.  They were both sleepy enough to go to bed in less than an hour and slept great all night. (well Kit slept "great"....great compared to how he had been but terrible compared to his normal) The next morning Daniel and Brittany were running a 5K so Gunnar's Aunt and Uncle came over and we all hung out while Kit took a much needed nap!  We thought the boys might be a little slow in warming up to them but we were proven drastically wrong!  Gunnar, Monte, and William went to go get breakfast and Monte asked for William to carry him instead of Gunnar!  William is Sid's brother and they look a lot alike so maybe that's why Monte liked him so much so quickly!  Rachel also became a kid favorite rather quickly!  She was full of great ideas for little boys! 


So the "giant dumpster" she talks about in the video, yeah what she was talking about was that giant window display thing with all the pictures on it in this picture.  There were two of them that some business just threw away and her and Brittany rescued them!  They were so pretty and made of really pretty wood and had just been tossed!!

We walked to a park before lunch and Monte had the time of his life!!

Kit has a tight grip on Uncle William!

Kit refused to be left out of did his fair share of climbing and sliding!

After a great lunch, naps for the boys, a heated game of girls vs guys Sequence and snacks, we went to a marina for appetizers. 

It was so crowded that we bailed on food but we did get to watch people feed the ducks and fish and let Monte watch all the boats!

Some nice kids noticed Monte and gave him some of their bread to throw to the ducks and fish. 

He was a fan!  He sure knew how to savor it too.  He would pull off the tiniest of pieces to make his bread last as long as possible!

While walking back to the truck, we passed this motorcycle and Monte said, completely unprompted and out of nowhere, "Dat Unk Reb's!!" (That's Uncle Reb's) hahaha Reb doesn't have a bike and has never been on or around a bike anytime that Monte has been around that I know of so we have no idea why he thought this burnt orange bike was Reb's!  It was super funny though so we took a picture to send Reb. 

We just hung out at Brittany and Daniel's Sunday morning.  Brittany had to work so we didn't get to see her as much as we would have liked. 

We should really figure out how to get Kit to stop being so fascinated with putting his fingers into people's mouths! haha

Read Monte a book and you've got a friend for life!

You know you're super cool when you have your Ninja motorcycle loaded right next to your double stroller!

Kit had a rather rough time on the way home but we think he might be our touch boy because as long as I was tickling his face or rubbing his ears he was happy.  I got him to sleep this time but later on after he had woken up when we were almost home I got to where I didn't even have to rub or tickle just as long as my hand was resting on his head he was happy! haha

Got him!
