Spring Break!

We had a very relaxing and fun Spring Break.  It was so nice to NOT have to be up and in a rush to get lunches packed, breakfast eaten, dressed, teeth brushed and out the door by 7:20 am.  We even had a few days where my normally early birds who are up at 6 am each day slept in until 8 am!!  We didn't do anything too exciting, just lots of fun days, we went camping with some friends, went to a movie, watched a high school varsity baseball game, went on bike rides, spent the night at Jason's, had sleepovers with friends, took a road trip to Gwyn's kolache place that moved from down the street, and a road trip to Bucees!  Here is my derby girl, who logged lots of hours on her blades:

 Love this shiny happy face!

 My sweet boy is growing up too fast:(

 We went to the high school baseball game, who placed at noon one day during the week:

 Our camping friends, 3 families, 8 kids, hours of fun!

 Sitting by the campfire, finishing dinner and about to enjoy some smores:

 Petting a baby alligator, she asked what is it's name.  They said they aren't pets so we don't name them.

 We took all our bikes, Annie was a trooper on a 3 hour bike ride!

 Sweet friends:

 Love this happy girl:

 On top of the mountain!

 Our car was LOADED to the max, and we had 5 bikes on the back:

 Our road trip to Bucee's...Gwyn didn't want a crazy shirt, but she did partake in a Dr. Pepper icee, best thing ever!

 The twin crazies:

 Neighborhood biking buds:

 Sweet girl:

Loving making these precious memories with our kiddos, they make me laugh every day.

Baseball and Softball Season has Arrived!!

Jacob has started his second year of 8U baseball, his team is the Aggies.  A little tough for us Cowboys to support, but with living in Texas we will forever be faced with the Aggies or the Longhorns...and I must say, having our family support Jacob's team in those Aggies tshirts has got to be easier than wearing burnt orange...just the WRONG color of orange in our house, ha!  It is SO much fun watching Jacob play this year, he is loving it and doing so well.  Jason got these great pictures at his preseason tournament.

I do love this man, an awesome husband and an amazing Dad (he's even wearing the Aggie tshirt I bought him):

A video of an at bat:

Gwyn has started her first year of coach pitch softball in 6U.  She's doing great and loving it, you can see her field a ball and step on the base to get someone out one inning or doing a cartwheel on the field in the next inning:)  She got to be the bat girl with a little friend for the high school Varsity softball team...it was so cute and she was loving it:

A video of her doing her bat girl job:

Her buddy Caroline:

Praying with the team before the game:

Waiting as they announced the starting line up:

Foot to foot with the team on the line while they announced the other team:

Sweet girls:

A video of Gwyn getting a hit during her first soft ball game:



Love this silly girl:

Annie had donuts with Dads, she was super excited!

Swim buddies:

The weather has been awesome here and we are enjoying being outside:

Gwyn sporting her new poodle earrings:

We have installed slackers at our house, hours of countless fun for the kids:

Slacker fun:






I was so impressed as Annie was playing the "stack the states" game, where she had to answer questions about states in order to get a state to stack, then I realized she was totally guessing and was getting mad anytime she accidentally got one right because she liked the sound that the game made when she got one wrong, ha!

My little pinkie gymnast, so cute:

I celebrated my 35th (ouch!) birthday on Monday.  The kids were sweet and made me the best presents ever, homemade cards, and Brian came through and got me this super mommy ice cream cake (he totally lucked out in the candles and found a 3 and a 5, he says he also found a 7, so we are good when I turn 37, 53 and 57 as well, ha!):

Love my sweet girl Gwyn, who made this for her teacher and taped a quarter on it, ha!  She gave it to her and she said that she LOVES money so it was perfect, ha!

My kiddos continuing to be immersed in Texas everything here:)
