Our trip to North Carloina

This weekend Trent and I went to go visit my sister, Adrianne, her husband Nigel and precious little Braden in North Carolina. The flight out there was pretty rough for Trent and me. You have to take 2 flights to get there. The first one was fine, Trent slept and played and was overall pretty good. Then our second flight was delayed over 2 hours so that was very hard keeping a one year old entertained in an airport for that time period. Then once we got there we had to wait another 45 minutes to an hour to get our bags because they put them on another plane. It really upset me the most because it took over 3 hours away from time to spend with my family. Once we were there we grabbed some dinner, went home and hung out. The next morning we had breakfast at Adrianne and Nigel's resorts restaurant and it was so good!! The best bacon I've ever had!! From there, Nigel took the boys while Adrianne and I did some shopping. Afterwards, we took some naps and relaxed until dinner time. We went to dinner and then to the beach. Trent was really in awe by the waves and the ocean. We hung out there for a little bit and then headed home. On Saturday, Adrianne took us to Wilmington which was so beautiful! We wandered around there and checked out the mall. I took Trent on a carousel for the first time. He loved just sitting on the horse but once it started moving, it scared him and he was ready to get off. Later that night we went out to dinner at a great restaurant called the Boundry House but ended up having to take it home because the boys just weren't willing to sit through dinner anymore. On our way back we stopped by the Creamery and got some ice cream and pictures with the cows out front. Trent and I flew home yesterday and it was really sad that our trip went by way too quick!!! Trent wasn't sure what to think of Braden because he's so use to being around older kids but Braden was just so amused by him. He is just such a happy and sweet baby! His smile can melt your heart! It was so nice seeing them all and having a chance to hang out with Adrianne & Nigel and play with Braden now that he's bigger. I can't wait for Christmas to see them all again and am counting the days down!

Hanging out...

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted any pics! I went to download some pictures the other day and the cord for the computer and camera disappeared. I'm not going to point fingers or name any names but I have a feeling of who may have hid it....Anyways, last week the city of Little Elm had a big fair from Thursday to Sunday. On Saturday they had a pretty baby contest where you could possibly win a savings bond so my mom and I took Trent up there. It was really causal and we had Trent in his cowboy's gear. Unfortunately, he didn't win but it was an interesting experience. I'm not sure how on earth some of those parents were able to keep their 1 year olds calm and settled while waiting to go up to the judges because my little guy does not want to be just held for long anymore!! It was a lot of fun to see all the other kids in their adorable little outfits and to watch him interact with the other little ones.

So another picture I wanted to post was Trent with his spoon, yes his spoon. A week or so ago I was cooking and to keep him preoccupied in the kitchen I gave him a plastic spoon and opened up the cabinet with the tubberware for him to play in. From that moment on he has loved that spoon!! He carries it with him and if that is not around he also loves carry his hairbrush or mine. In the mornings when I get ready for work and hears me blow drying my hair, he comes in, grabs my brush and walks out! It's really quite entertaining to us yet sometimes stressful when I'm running late and really need my brush back! Next week Trent and I are making a trip to North Carolina vist Adrianne, Nigel and Braden and I cannot wait!! I've missed them so much and am so excited to see my sweet little nephew.
