Eddie sister Carrie flew in from DC, and his sister and her husband flew in from LA-- and we flew in from NC!
Needless to say, we were all super excited for the trip. I created a little count down to help us remember how many sleeps were left until we got to see everyone:
After the pool party Tuesday night, I worked like crazy getting everything packed and ready:
The boys are getting to be good little travelers. We have a system down now-- get to our gate, daddy gets a bagel from Bruegers for everyone and we eat before we board the plane...
Andy did fairly well traveling this time-- thank you, iPad! About half way through the flight, he decided he wanted to sit with Daddy, who was thankfully sitting right behind us. Cal, you seriously do not talk to until it's time to put away the iPads. He could go on a 16 hour flight I think, and be totally content.
For whatever reason, our flight was 50 minutes early-- seriously!!! We couldn't believe it either! We took off a few minutes early and then made good time...or whatever. When we landed, the gate wasn't ready for us, so the boys snuggled for a bit-- they LOVE to snuggle on each other!
I took more pictures with my good camera, but I haven't downloaded those yet-- that will be a later post, I guess!
We went to the park on our first full day there-- the boys had a blast playing! It was HOT though!
Tricia and Tommy got in that afternoon and the boys were super excited to see them. Tricia is the only one who will get into Moose's crate with them!
That afternoon, Patty took the boys and Tricia to TCU's practice. The boys loved running on the field like the big kids.
That night, Eddie took Tommy to the Cowboys game-- we teased them that they had to send us a selfie...so they did....hahahahaha
Speaking of Tommy, he is seriously the best uncle. He is SO sweet to the boys. I looked in the family room and he was reading a book to Andy while Cal was tackling him from behind-- and he didn't miss a page- haha!
The next morning, we all headed to the train... we do this every time we go to Fort Worth and I love it every time we do! It is a long ride-- close to 45 minutes, but there is a little stop with pop corn (and a DC for momma) and it is just a fun little ride!
We typically did something outside every morning and then got in their pool until lunch and naps and then ate dinner. Having a pool in the back yard was awesome and the boys loved swimming. Andy, shockingly, was fearless with the pool. He would jump in, fully submerge himself and then start doing something that appeared to be synchronized swimming. It was hilarious...
We went to Uncle Julios for dinner one night, which was a lot of fun. Andy was being a character in the parking lot after dinner...
Cal found Mimi's glasses and wore them around... "I can't see anything, Mimi!"
Before we knew it, it was GAME TIME! We left while Andy was sleeping-- the same sitter we used for the wedding came again for him and Cal got to go to the game. It was an 8:00 kick, Texas time, so 9:00 at home-- wayyyy late....

Heading to the stadium to get on the bus!
Cowboys stadium
"but, CB, where are the frogs??"
Since LSU is purple too, there was a WHOLE lot of purple in that place!
Cal made it until the middle of the 4th quarter and this his little eyes just couldn't stay open any more. He crashed on my shoulder and didn't wake up until the next morning!
The game was awesome and TCU really put up a great fight. We were excited to be there and we all lost our voices at the game.
The next morning it was my birthday! Eddie bought me some coors light-- haha, classy!
The boys were ready to help me blow out some candles!
We headed home the next morning. These boys about melted my heart walking through the airport together!
