Daddy's Day

So, the Lawsons have been a little off the radar lately, for some good and bad reasons. On the bad side, Kevin and I were hit with a stomach bug this past week. On the up side of the bad, it didn't hit us both at exactly the same time, so Jake still had one funcitoning parent, and Jake seems to have steered clear. On the good side (at least for me), I took a long weekend trip to Shreveport and have taken a very temporary job. More on those good things later, because this day is all about DADDY!!!

We celebrated Kevin's day yesterday with a trip to Salt Lick BBQ and a Round Rock Express game. BBQ was a popular destination b/c we arrived at 5:15 and still had a 30 minute wait, but it was well worth it. Here are the boys as we're waiting outside to be seated.
Once seated, the waiter brought bread and Jake acted like he was starving. He is quite the carbs guy (much like his mama), but even this was a bit crazy. We'd give him pieces, which he downed in an instant, then he would point and whine for more. It was really quite hilarious...
Somehow he managed to save room for the meal and still ate surprisingly well. He loved their pinto beans and potatoes!
Then it was across the parking lot we went to the game. We sat on the grass which was great b/c we weren't confined to two small seats, but the lack of confinement also brought about its own challenges. For about the first hour, Jake was interested in just about everything but the game, so Kevin and split the time taking him to play on the playground and walking him around the ballpark. All the playing was great and wore him out just enough for him to consider sitting with us on our blanket...
Or in front of us on the grass... Then it was time for our ballpark treat for the night...a sno cone...it was just a little piece of heaven as far as Jake was concerned. In case, you don't believe me, I'll let the pictures tell the tale...
The little red drip down his chin is the cutest!
Doing things like Daddy always makes it better...
Yum, Yum, Yum!
What do you do when you get to the last bit and it's in one big frozen chunk? Take it out and bite right into it, of course!
Post cone face...
Oh, and just in case you're wondering...Yes, we chopped off Jake's hair for a summer cut. It was really time. This boy loves being outside, but he sweats like crazy, so it seemed like the best thing to do. I will admit, it took some adjusting on my part, but now I'm just as in love with his cool new do!
