3 Day Weekend

Kyle had off Monday, February 17th for President's Day, so we had a nice 3 day weekend together!  We stayed pretty busy and had lots of fun!  Friday night was Valentine's Day, and that was the night we stayed home and Kyle cooked dinner.  Saturday, Lane had his last T-ball game of the winter season. 

This picture is nothing special, I just wanted to remember how he crosses his little legs and hands in the car!  Sweet boy!

Lane played probably his best game yet.  He got to get a bunch of balls in the field and hit pretty well.  I love watching him play!!

 

That night we went to a new restaurant downtown called Crave.  We had plans to eat elsewhere, but it was pretty crowded with long waits and we got right in here.  They treated Lane like royalty!  Brought him a pillow for his back and some fancy french fries!

On Sunday we went to Austin's Park and Pizza.  Kyle and I went here back when he was in college and had never taken Lane since we have lived in Austin.  Lane loved it, of course!

Riding the bumper boats with Dad.

My buddy!

 

Tall enough to ride the "roller coaster!"

We are in the orange #4 car!  I rode this with him and probably shouldn't have.  It didn't have any dips or scary parts, but this thing whizzed by on every turn!  Like literally jerked you side to side.  Ellis had a wild ride!

This is a TERRIBLE picture of me, plus Kyle's camera skills are that of a toddler, but I thought Lane looked so cute!  He was loving the ride and cracked up every time we passed Daddy.

Daddy's turn on rest of the rides!

After our outside fun, we went inside to play some arcade games.  Lane liked hammering the shark heads as they popped up.

Swingin!

Skee Ball!  Lane wasn't quite big enough to master this one.

Getting some help from Daddy

Lane loved riding the car/motorcycle rides, even without putting money in.  He didn't even realize he wasn't actually driving and it was just the demo on the screen.  ;-)

 

Time for some Buck Hunter!

He kept putting that knee up to help his aim.

The rest of the weekend was spent outside in the pretty weather.  Kyle was out with Lane and text me this picture of a strange man with a mustache in our front yard.  :)

And the next day we had an officer patrolling our neighborhood!

Life is definitely more fun with this guy around!!

Big Family Fun!

The weekend before Halloween was a fun one!  We had set plans for every day and had lots of fun.  Friday night we had family movie night in the media room.  Lane even requested popcorn, which he usually won't eat.  He scarfed down his bowl while we watched Robin Hood, one of Daddy's childhood favorites!  Lane loved certain parts, especially the theme song, and made it through the whole movie, despite getting a little stir crazy at the end.

Saturday morning was t-ball.  I know all of my t-ball pictures probably look the same, but I can't help but document each game!!  I think Lane looks so cute in his uniform and I don't want to miss anything!

Happy guy on 2nd base!

 Look at that power!

Getting some tips from Daddy

 

After t-ball I used my souvenir from Kyle's trip to New Orleans.  He helped me make beignets with Cafe Du Monde's mix.  I have never fried anything before, so I was shocked that they turned out right.  They were really tasty!

Taking a big, sugary bite!

 

Saturday afternoon we headed to the Hill Country Galleria for their trick or treat event.  It is an outdoor shopping mall that had stores passing out candy.  Lane got lots of compliments on his knight costume!

 

We went home for Lane's nap and then went to Doc's Backyard to watch the Texas/TCU game.  We had never been there before, and had a good time until the rain delay.  It is an outdoor restaurant with a playground attached, so Lane had fun playing while Daddy got to watch the game.

 

On Sunday, Kyle got a wild hair to bake homemade cookies and BBQ Ribs.  Random!  I got to go get a prenatal massage, so Kyle took Lane to the store to get ingredients and they got to work cooking up a delicious dinner.  I caught them dancing in the kitchen when I got home from my massage!

It was a fun weekend leading up to a fun Halloween week!
