houston

Abby had a break from school so we headed to Houston for a quick visit.

The kids had a blast with their cousins...and, of course, a sweet visit with Papa.

Crazy cousins

Like father.....like son

Friday night we went to a food truck joint and had a blast.  The weather was perfect and the kids danced and sang on stage while we ate.  Fun!!

Hunter loves his Uncle Luke.  Precious.

Loved our time in Houston and enjoyed the family time!!

Happy Monday

These two didn't know I was watching them or taking their picture.  Love this priceless moment.

4th annual crawfish boil and Easter egg hunt

We had a fun, but busy weekend!  Saturday morning we went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt and that afternoon we hosted our 4th annual crawfish boil.  

The weather was perfect (other than some wind) and it was a blast.  

This wasn't even the whole gang but I love how this picture shows their personalities.

Love these boys....I mean, men.

Easter egg hunt!!  Abby and her sweet friend Madison.

Hunter and Ben were too busy planning a strategy to look at the camera.

A GREAT weekend all around!  

time away

Bo and I just returned from a long weekend away and it was awesome.  

Bo won this trip for the fourth year in a row for being one of the top producers at his bank.  I am always so proud of him but hearing his bosses brag on him makes me even prouder.  

They reward them well as they should!  

This year we went to Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Beach/Laguna CA.  It was a beautiful place.

The awards dinner was at the Nixon Library and was pretty amazing.

A fun place to get away and relax.  A BIG thanks to my parents for coming to 

Dallas to watch the kids. They had a great time!!!

spring

I think it's safe to say spring is finally here!  It seemed to take a while to get here this year.

We have been enjoying the weather this week!

We went to pick up Abby one day after school and H 

was watching the "big boys" play basketball.

He wanted to play so badly!!  One day soon son, one day soon.

Happy spring!!!

another week

Another week has come and gone.  Abby went back to school but now it was H's turn for spring break.  

We started the week with a visit from friends who now live in Tulsa.  We had a great time catching up!

A trip to the mall one day.

Sweet friends.

This morning was some snuggle time before church.

Ready for another week! 

spring break part 2

On Thursday, H had MDO again, so Abby and I did some more shopping and met Bo for lunch. This was the highlight of Abby's week.  

We grabbed Sprinkles cupcakes and went up to his office for a bit.

After we picked up H, we went to the pool again with friends and closed it down.  

Friday was a beautiful day and we headed to the arboretum with friends.
It was so much fun to be out and enjoy the scenery and play all day long.

Friday evening the pool had a DJ, pool games and the grill was on for dinner!  

After hitting the pool three times this week we are really ready for summer!

It was truly a great spring break!

spring break....so far

Our spring break is off to a great start.  The weather has been perfect and we spent most of the past two days outside.  Monday morning we went to soccer and then lunch with our friends.

We spent a few hours at the park that afternoon.

On Tuesday, Hunter still had MDO so Abby and I did some shopping, got our nails

done and ate lunch together.  She was so excited all day long.

We picked Hunter up and headed to the pool!!!  The pool was heated to 84 degrees and 

the kids had a blast.   Many of our friends were there and the kids swam all afternoon.

After swimming we went to a friend's house for dinner.  Busy day!

The weather today is cold and windy.  Go figure!  Friends are coming over to play.

We are having a great time together this week at home.  My kids have been sleeping in with the time change, loving no real schedule and not rushing out the door in the morning.  After going to the pool yesterday it really is making me look forward to summer!

little mermaid and big things

Another week is flying by and only one week until spring break!

Last weekend, I took Abby to see The Little Mermaid with some friends.  

It was so cute and Abs loved it.

This week has been cold again but one afternoon we found a little 

sun and some time to ride bikes with neighbors.  

 This little one was playing soccer with some

boys and insisting that he keep his helmet on. 

AND...some big news in the fam.....

H is actually wanting to be a big boy!  Not all the

time but I will take what I can get right now.  

Abby's school has a program called Kingdom Tales where the kids can write a book

and the school will publish it.  They were presented their books and Abby spoke

in front of all of her peers and parents.  She did great.  I was so proud. 

I know for most kids this isn't a big deal, but for Abby it's huge!

It's almost March!  Ready for some more spring-like

weather to stick around!  We have lots of playing to do!  

busy and random

January and February used to be long, boring months.  Well, not anymore.  I guess with Hunter's bday, Bo's bday and Valentine's festivities things just get busy.   We had family in town two weekends in a row and last weekend we went to a friend's ranch for V-Day.  Lots going on.

The weekend Bo's parents were here we took them painting and then went bowling.

During the week we had dentist appointments, dance class,
swim lessons, BSF and playdates...on top of
school and Valentine's Day parties.

We went to a friend's ranch this past weekend. It was a blast.

The weather was perfect and it was just so nice to get away and enjoy

the company and scenery.  Beautiful.

The boys and hubs were there too but they were too busy 

running around to stop and take a picture.

Just three weeks until spring break!  Looking forward to that and maybe 

slowing down just a little bit???   Ha!  : )
