Casey and I took our boys to Fossil Rim today. Beautiful weather for it and had a great time. Casey had never been and since she's moving to Colorado in a few days, she wanted to visit before leaving. We hadn't been in a couple of years so it was good to go back with Blake since he doesn't remember it from before.

Some pics...

We took a picture in this spot a couple of years ago. Blake and I have both gotten much bigger since!


The sign is true...


This was really brave for Blake as he's been scared of animals lately.


Giraffes look good from a distance....


Until they stick their freakishly long tongues in the car and scare the bejeezus out of us and send us into laughing hysterics when he won't go away..


Other random animal photo ops...




And a gratuitous baby shot because he is the SWEETEST baby in the whole wide world even when he pukes and poops on me...

Blake and I met Amanda for lunch and then headed out to Founders' Plaza at DFW Airport. It's a nice little park area where you can watch airplanes come and go.



I think he's acting like an airplane here...

Amanda and I went out last night and I don't have pics but take my word for it despite the lack of photographic evidence. :) We started out at a hibachi grill for some Japanese food and then on to Pete's Dueling Piano Bar which was infested with Bridezillas and their bridesmaids. They traveled in packs throughout the bar and god forbid if you got behind them if you had to go to the bathroom. We couldn't even see the guys playing piano because it was so crowded so we left after about 30 or 45 minutes. As huge fans of comedians, we decided to see who was at Hyena's Comedy Club and got tickets. They had 3 comedians who were all good w/the headliner being BT and he was fantastic. He and I actually conversed via Myspace after the show because I wanted to let him know what a good show it was. Good times and I hope to go back to Hyena's again soon!

New Oprah shows start tomorrow and her ticket line also opens up for October tickets - wish me luck in my 15th year of trying to get tickets!

Blake started Museum School on Thursday which he seems to really love. It only lasts for two hours once a week but I've always wanted him to be able to go and now he can. :)



And today it rained pretty much all day and our grass is actually green again! Blake went out to stand in it for a bit....
