Weekend Trip

This weekend we went to Matt's wedding in Kansas City. Dallas did great! He slept the whole way up there. We left early Saturday so we could go to Cabela's. Jared had some gift cards to spend there. After that we went to McDonald's to eat, and quickly changed for the wedding. The wedding was about 1 1/2 hours long. I had to take Dallas out about 1 hour into the wedding so we missed a little bit of it. When the wedding was over we got to talk to a few classmates that were there and then we headed to the Hotel for the reception. We had planned to drive home that night after the reception but we decided to get a room and stay the night. Its a good thing I packed enough for Dallas so that we could stay! The reception was a lot of fun. We had a great meal and were able to visit with Matt for a while. We came back home Sunday morning and Dallas slept the whole way home. It was a fun weekend but we are glad to be home. Jared and Dallas at Cabela's

Matt and Christin (the best picture I got of the bride and groom)

We took the bassinet with us. It fit perfect on the couch at the foot of the bed.

Ready for Church

We took this picture before going to church Sunday evening.

Memorial Day Weekend

Dallas finally got to meet some of his cousins! On Memorial Day weekend, Teresa, Mark and the kids came for a visit. On their way to mom and dad's they stopped by to see Dallas. As soon as Teresa stepped in the door he smiled at her. His first smile!

Saturday morning, we put out flags at the cemetery. We had lots of help with all of the kids. Dallas even came along for a stroller ride!

Dallas had a chance to hang out with his cousins. They were all very helpful and will be great baby-sitters some day!

We also celebrated James' 7th birthday. Happy Birthday James!
Dallas had so much fun with his cousins this weekend. He can't wait until we can all get together again and maybe even meet the rest of his cousins too.

Dallas' Room

Dallas' room is complete. We have finally finished all of the things we wanted to do to his room before he was born. Really we were only 1 month late getting it done since he was a month early!

Mom and I went to Simply Baby in Salina to get the letters for Dallas' name. We also got two signs that say Buckaroo and Cowboy. You can see them above the rocking chair along with his boots. Above the changing table we have the picture the nurses took of Dallas while we were in the hospital and next to the closet is the cross Jared's mom gave us at the church shower. We put Dallas' name above his crib.

Dallas sleeps in his crib during the day sometimes, but he is still sleeping in his bassinet during the night.

2 Months

Dallas is 2 months old today. Here you can see how much he has changed in 1 month.

A First For Everything

This week Dallas had a lot of firsts.

On Wednesday night after church he experienced his first trip to McDonald's. Grandma and Grandpa came along too. Dallas rested in his car seat while his dad enjoyed a "senior" coffee. I am not sure Jared is really the senior of the group!

(You can only imagine who took this picture standing on the seat across from us!)

On Thursday we went to Wichita and Dallas made his first trip to Texas Roadhouse. He really wanted to order a "Dallas Fillet" but settled for a nap in his car seat instead.

Everyone had a great time. It was so fun to have all of the Grandma's and Grandpa's with us.

Dallas even slept through the loud music and line dancing. After we ate, we went to Babies R' Us and bought a mobile with the gift card Bob and Carol gave me. Then we went to Best Buy and picked out a video camera. Maybe now I can post video too!
