2/30

Something that makes me smile.

Literally 3 minutes after getting in the car from a full day at Holiday World! Complete with his Holidog souvenir, peace sign cup of water and chocolate ice cream under his chin! Nothing says a full, fun day at an amusement park better than this!

The weekend in review

This past weekend was a rather busy one. Here are a few things we did.

~Biscuits for breakfast...makes everyone happy.

~LAAAAZY Saturday - everyone had a nap!

~Chipotle for dinner! Mommy is one happy camper! Gusley got his "ta-cuu"!

~Jake went bowling!

~THE CIRCUS!!! Greatest Show on Earth - enjoyed by all in attendance!

~Lunch at Hard Rock Cafe - nice treat -Gus slept through the entire meal - another nice treat ;-)

~Fun finds at the used book store.

~Even though this was on Monday, I still think it was a great way to end my weekend/start the week...ZUMBA!

Gatlinburg in Pictures

Back in October, we took Gus (and Buttercup) to Gatlinburg to have a little mini vacation and to see the changing of the leaves! We had a wonderful time and Gus really enjoyed himself so much so that any time we are in the car and he sees the sign for the hotel we stayed in (which had orange comforters) he makes sure to tell us in an asking voice, "Orange Bed?" It is the cutest thing and we just chuckle and get a kick out of it every time!

He rode go-karts with Jake and I for the first time and he has been asking everyday since we are home to go ride "co-karts" so I an thinking we will be heading to the local go-kart track in the near future! Well, once it warms up a bit!

I apologize for the overload of pictures, but we had such a great time and took so many great pictures that I have to share them!!

Wild Woody...Gus' first go-kart track! It was Wild and Woody alright!

All buckled up and ready to go!

Holding Mommy's hand tight, tight!

This is just after we passed a Chick-fil-A and we can hear him whispering, "Cow House, Cow House"! It is safe to say the Chick-fil-A is his favorite place to eat! Who can blame him!

I do believe Gus got the biggest kick out of this dog on the motorbike! We all laughed out loud when we saw it and Jake had to drive right next to them so Gus could continue to laugh!!

Taking the gondola up the mountain to ride the Alpine Sled down!

Weeeeee!

Back to the Track for some more go-karts and airplane rides before heading home!

What a wonderful weekend we all had.....Gus and his sollipop just couldn't go any longer!!

Red Velvet Yogurt = Delish!

This post needs not further explanation except that we finally wrapped our mouths around red velvet frozen yogurt! It was an early birthday treat for me, but we all enjoyed it!

SAINTS v. TITANS - 09.02.10

This was Gusley's 2nd NFL game and 1st New Orleans Saints game! We had a great time! We ate popcorn, french fries, chicken strips, cotton candy and I think I drank a gallon of Sprite! It was HOT! The plan was for Jake and his pal John to go to the game and mom and dad bought tickets to go as well. At the last minute a friend of Jake's back in LA called to see if we needed tickets. She gave him 6 club level tickets and there were 6 of us that ended up going to the game...SCORE! We thought Gus was going to need a ticket, but I guess he was just too cute that they did not question his age :-)! He lasted the entire game! I must say it is different when you are at the game and your team is the away team, but it was fun to get a rise out of the Titans fans! Though we lost it was still a good game and a great experience!

Gus and Pops waiting to meet Jake and John outside the gate.

Breesus! Breesus! He's our man!!

Cheese Mommy!~

I heart Pops for this cotton candy!

Lovely!

Shovelling it in!

Who Dat!

Moving on to the popcorn.......

I think he is going for a record of how much he can fit in his mouth!

back to the cotton candy and I guess I was in his way :-)

Gus in seat #2...he was so proud of his #2 in his seat!

Special Father/Son night!

Trying to stay awake by eating!

What a fun night! Anything Gus sees with a Fleur de lis on it he tells us "Saints" or "Go Saints"! It really is in the blood!!
