Disney’s Marketing Machine

We attended a Disney Live event over the weekend at the Allen Events Center. The show was called  Mickey’s Rockin’ Road Show. Now I will give it to Mickey and his crew, they do put on an entertaining show. Blake and Brayden really enjoyed the show and that is the important thing. No complaints from us.

One quick year!

Our son Brayden turned one year old today. Holy Cow that went by fast. I seriously think I blinked and missed it. Thankfully, we took a lot of pictures and video so one day when we do have time we can go back and remember it. A lot of people tell you to live for the moment and I agree.

We love the State Fair of Texas

The State Fair of Texas is hard to describe in words. The only word that comes to mind is awesome. Back in Cedar Rapids, IA where I am originally from, my school and church put on the biggest festival in Cedar Rapids, The St. Jude Sweet Corn Festival.

Swing Batter, Batter Swing!

First Baseball Game, is there anything better? Certainly some but not many. The great American pastime just initiated two new members.

Passy Addiction

Houston we have a problem. Brayden is addicted. It is getting worse. He has started hiding spares around the house. Mom and Dad are not looking forward to the sleep deprivation that will come our way when we attempt a

Passy Intervention“.   Ahh Parenthood!

Imagination

The possibilities are boundless… Our two-year old, Blake, loves to use his imagination.  One day he is a doctor using a blanket as a stethoscope asking me to be his nurse as we give daddy (aka the patient) a shot.  Or he is creating a ‘zoo’ out of spines of books and placing small stuffed animals in there with ‘food’ to eat.

Boxes

With the plethora of children’s toys currently available, it is amazing what kind of joy a good old empty box will bring to a child’s face.  I’m sure other parents have spent plenty of money on a toy only to have their son or daughter more interested in the box than the toy.
