what a weekend.

we had a crazy, but great, weekend.  after having some friends stay with us all week (yeah harris family!) we headed up to arlington to spend some time with brenner's mom.  his brother came too and we all went to see the texas rangers face the red sox.  

now, while i am not a baseball fanatic, i do enjoy a good game and that is exactly what we saw.  it was crazy...there were a total of 8 homeruns!  it went to 11 innings and after being down by 6 runs, the rangers came back to win.  the downside?  it was 100 degrees and i had a sick baby on my lap who was up 4 hours past his bedtime.  to be fair, by the time we got home at 12:15 am, the temperature had dropped to 91 (gotta love texas!).  we drank 3 bottles of water (cole was drenched because we forgot his bib) had a lemon ice and a huge coke just to try to keep semi-cool.  i am thinking that is the last night game cole and i will attend for a while.  he finally fell asleep in the 9th inning for a little while with his uncle....how cute is this pic?

so naturally, what happens when you do not put your baby to bed until 12:30 am having had intermittent naps and an irregular feeding schedule?  he is up all night long.  i know, you are waiting for me to get to the part where my weekend was actually fun.


brenner's mom opened up her pool for some of our dear friends from college to come over and hang out for a while.  how great is it to catch up with old friends?  cole was the youngest of the wild children running and swimming about and was finally napping when this picture was taken. 

 but we had so much fun! 


on our way home from arlington, we stopped at the ever-dwindleing outlet mall along I-35 and i found .99 cent polos at the children's place outlet!  i should have bought more but i was trying to go fast and didn't realize that they were that cheap until i got up to the register. i also got some super cute things for baby gifts.  we ended the weekend with a barbeque with some more friends  and more wild children running around...we had a blast!  my friend sarah is about to move and she generously gave us a big toy for cole and i think he will love when i get it all cleaned off.  thank you hannah and seth for sharing!


so that was our weekend.  on a side note, little man is feeling better!
