Skateboards, Shopping and a Kick for Daddy!

Whew, we just got back from a weekend at Cory's (Craig little brother) house.  Craig got asked to play paintball down close to San Marcos a few weeks ago and I always jump at the chance to go shopping at the outlets!  After a hairy weather report and news that the game was not going to be that big, Craig decided not to play.  But it just so happened that Craig's parents were planning a trip the same weekend, so we decided to go anyway. 
We headed down Friday morning and after Linc took a brief nap, Youg, Chad and I headed over to the shops.  After a few hours we headed home.  When Linc went down, we actually got to go see a movie, and it has been months since either of us have seen one.  I am trying to remember, but I think New Moon was the last one I saw, oh man.  Anyway, it was nice to have someone to watch Lincoln so Craig and I could go on a mini date.

Saturday, bright and early, Craig, Yong, Lincoln and I headed over to the shops again.  I was so hoping to find Lincoln's train bedding at the Pottery Barn.  I know what I had seen was this season, but I was hoping they had last season version of it, but I guess they did not make a train bedding last year.  I had no luck finding anything for Lincoln.  But I had a lot of luck finding stuff for Kennedy.  I found so much stuff, even a Easter Dress.  I know I am crazy, but the stuff is so cute.  How can I pass up getting cute little girl things at such good prices.  Well I am going to have to resist from now on or I won't be able to afford a bed for her to sleep in, haha!  Needless to say I had fun, and Craig had a bit of fun because he got some new jeans!  It is kinda nice being preggo and going there because then you aren't tempted to buy anything for yourself, even though I saw a bunch of cute stuff.

Lincoln also had a good time at Cory's.  Chad had his motorcycle in the garage and every time we passed it Lincoln wanted to jump on.  They pulled it out in the driveway on Saturday and so I had to snap this shot.  Lincoln, this will be as close as you ever get to riding one, so I hope you enjoyed it!  Haha, as you can see I don't really like these things.

He also loved Cory's skateboard.  He wanted to be such a big boy and ride it all by himself.

Cory was so sweet to help him so he could go on a mini ride.

Look at me, I am riding a skateboard!

I just love the serious look on his face, he is such a big boy!

I can even put both my feet on and only hold on to one hand.

I was amazed with him this time.  He did so great on both the ride there and back.  He also had people to talk to, which I am sure helped out.  We had no meltdowns and only had to watch Thomas the Train a few times.  I would say it is getting easier for him to be in the car for longer periods of time, which is great.  I can't say the same for me, most of the time I just want to stop so I can get out and stretch.

On another very exciting note, Craig felt the baby move this week!!!  Kennedy has been kicking up a storm and I was sitting in a meeting one day and realized that I actually felt her kick on the outside.  It was funny, but I laughed a little in a serious meeting, haha.  It is nice that he can feel her now because that means he wants to snuggle more, and I am all about snuggling.  I hope you all had a great weekend as well!
