On the road again

This past weekend, we made a flying trip down to Central Arkansas to do Easter lunch with my side of the family a week early, and then Jeff and I ended up going to the horse races on Saturday while Nanette and Papaw stayed with Noah. We didn't bring a Pack and Play with us because we figured he could just sleep in the bed with us and that would be fine....hmmmm, note to self, "Always bring a Pack and Play when traveling." Normally during the night when he's sleeping in his crib, he'll wake up a few times during the night and just roll over and go back to sleep on his own. Well, with him in the bed with us, when he'd wake up and see us, he thought it was playtime! So he'd crawl over to me and start crawling all over me and standing up and then he'd go over to Jeff and poke him in the face....you get the picture. And it was really difficult to get him to go back to sleep after that...needless to say, not the best 2 nights of sleep I've had in a while, but it was fun anyways.

I think Noah has already started to figure out that going to the grandparent's houses is kind of like Christmas. Pretty much every time he visits, there's new toys! Well the latest is his new Spiderman 4-wheeler, of course. What 9 month old doesn't need a Spiderman 4-wheeler? He's not quite big enough to ride it by himself, but I can totally see him getting into all kinds of trouble on this thing in the very near future....

Then it was off to the horse races for me and Jeff! We went with some of my cousins and had so much fun! The weather was awesome! We didn't win much, but we had a blast.

The Clydesdales were at the races....they're so pretty. I think I want one. Don't you think that would make a great addition to our family? 2 dogs, a baby and a Clydesdale....it could stay in the backyard with the dogs, no problem.

Then, on Sunday we went to church with Jeff's parents before heading off to our early Easter lunch and Egg Hunt.
It was a little too cold outside for Mr. Noah to hunt for eggs, but he was happy to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa while the big kids did.

It was a fun but tiring weekend. And by the looks of it, the little guy was exhausted too.
