It's Rodeo Time!

We spent this beautiful morning at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. We went last year too, but Wesley was much more interested in the animals this year!


Ready to go in his new cool sunglasses

About 10 minutes later on the way home...tired boy!

Yard Work

Wesley has been very busy getting the yard ready for Spring. Here are some pictures.


Lots of leaves to rake


More raking


Time to mow


Pbbbbbtt.....








Was that a bubble?

We also visited Wesley's new cousin Nolan this weekend. He is a big boy!


Who does my mama have?


Cheese!


Cousin Sadie and her cat


Three grandkids


Clean Froggie!

Finally!

It's been a while, but we have been very busy! We've had a trip to Arkansas, a trip to New Orleans for a Mardi Gras parade, and Valentine's Day!

We also had Wesley's 15-month weigh-in. He is 35" tall and 30 lbs 5 oz. He is >95th percentile on height and 95th percentile on weight. So, still proportional but still a big boy!


Wesley was a good boy on our flight to Arkansas


Wesley's new love - the broom! Sweep, sweep!


A new skill - drinking from a straw!


Sitting in his chair watching a little Baby Einstein


Pushing a stroller at Ashley's house....I guess that's ok!?!


A trip to the playground on a sunny February day!








Going down the slide!


Swinging


More swinging!


We went to New Orleans to visit Cousins Trevor and Katherine and to see a Mardi Gras parade. Here is Wesley having a snack before he fell asleep and missed the parade!

15 Months

Wesley turned 15 months (1.25 years!) yesterday. It's been an exciting couple of weeks, especially since Mama and Daddy were home for a few days during our 'ice storm'!


Bundled up for the cold

Here are some pictures of how SEVERE the ice storm was!








As you can see, it wasn't bad at all, but it was the first ice we've seen in Houston in 10 years! Mama and Wesley went out for a walk after things had thawed a bit.







This weekend we went to the Childrens Museum with Wesley's friend Margaret. Everyone had a blast!


Back seat driver!


Playing with the door




Ding dong!

Happy New Year

We've been having great weather here so there has been lots of time to spend outside. Wesley has been enjoying his new bike trailer from Papaw Jim and Judi.


Let's roll!


Here they come!


Vroom...!


Zoom!

Wesley also has a new set of pots and pans! He loves to stir, stir, stir. Could he be the next Emeril? BAM!





More cute pics of Wesley playing outside



Up to no good!
