Spring has Sprung!

It's SPRING--and we are enjoying all this gorgeous weather!! Making our way to the park...

Can these two be any sweeter??!!

Afternoons filled with sidewalk chalk and smashing ants with our shoes!

Playing ball with Daddy after work.

I got Gracyn her very own glove--and of course it was PINK!!

It was a perfect day to ride the train!

Then we went to play at the park.

We had Gracyn's Kindergarten Round Up at her Elementary School she'll be going to next year. She loved checking everything out--and especially loved the cookie they gave her and bracelet and cup. She can't wait to be a lion next year!! I'm not going to lie....I'm not ready for her to grow up--I can't believe she's going to Kinder!!

Disney on Ice

We went to Disney on Ice again this year with Piper. These two are the best of friends and have such a sweet time together!

Enjoying their snow cones!

Gracyn loves watching all the characters come out--and all the special effects!

BFF Selfie!

Loved being there with my little princess!!

We finished up our "Girls Day" with dinner at Lupe Tortilla! Such a fun day!!

This & That!

I made the kids some new Easter buckets. Easter is taking FOREVER to get here in their opinion!!

A work dinner for Daddy means Alamo Cafe for us!! :)

We ran in the Culinaria 5K a few weekends ago. They had yummy food after the race--and our favorite pancake place, Magnolia Pancake Haus, was there too!!

Playing dress up with lipstick on--she thought she was pretty fancy!

Trying on sister's skates. He wants his own pair for his birthday!!

Someone didn't want to stop playing to take care of business.....uh oh!

Fresh manicure--hot pink nails with light pink flowers.

Be still my heart---all my loves napping together. Precious.

Enjoying a picnic in the yard!

Hanging out with Nana. She sure does love, "My Boy!"

Huddy got some new shoes and he LOVES them. His other ones were worn out--since all he wears is tennis shoes. He thinks they really do make him jump higher and run faster! :) He thanks me for his new shoes ALL day long. He's such a thankful little guy!

Zoo Day!

Hudson had been asking to go to the zoo...and we finally found a day to go--and had PERFECT weather!! We had a great time!!

Gracyn begged me to go to the Butterfly exhibit. They both loved it this time!! They loved having the butterflies crawl all over them or stick on their fingers.

She had two at the same time! She thought she was pretty cool!!

I was surprised at how into it he got. Last time he really wasn't interested.

Gracyn freaked out a little bit when this one started crawling up her face!

Of course, no trip to the zoo is complete without a trip to the snake house. YUCK!!

They enjoyed their time playing store in the Tot Spot.

What a fun day!!

Friends Visit!

One of my dear friends, Mallory, and her family came to stay with us a few weekends ago. We had a great time just spending time together and catching up. Sarah had us  and Sam's family all out to their new house in Boerne and we loved being all together and watching our kids play!! These girls hold such a special place in my heart!

Gracyn and Halle loved playing "Ring Around the Rosie" with little Abby.

Hudson was stuck to Jacob like glue! He was so sweet to let a little guy tag along with him--and ask him SO many questions!! :)

What sweet memories were made!! My kids can't wait to go to Oklahoma to see them again at their house next time. I think a trip is in order sometime this summer!! :)

"She Came Back!!"

Well, the Tooth Fairy returned to our house! Gracyn lost another tooth! She's missing her two bottom teeth now-and her top ones are starting to wiggle too. She pulled this one out herself! She was in her room and came down the stairs with her tooth in hand!

She is SO proud of her little gap! Her adult teeth are already starting to come up!

That night, she camped outside her room--with her little tooth fairy pillow right next to her.....just hoping for a glimpse of the Tooth Fairy!! Precious!

I can't stand how quickly my baby is growing up!!! Slow down!!

Life Lately....

Here's a look at what's been going on around here lately....

 Gracyn's recital costume came in....she CANNOT wait to get back up on stage and perform her dance routine!!

 

 Bedtime shenanigans....Drew and I were texting pictures back and forth while putting the kids to bed. We all got some good laughs!

Speaking of a good laugh....Drew tried Hudson's jeans on--we ALL got a great laugh as he hobbled around the living room!! Hudson was ready for him to take them "ock!" 

 

 What is it with boxes?? They could play with them ALL day--and I have to secretly throw them away or we have major meltdowns!!

 

And so it has begun. I found this sign that Gracyn made.....

We said goodbye to my MDX. I was sad to see her go....she's been with me for a while now--7 years--before having the kids. I didn't realize I was so attached until it was time to say good-bye. It was kind of quick too....like I didn't even know the last time I drove her would be the last time! :(

But, here's the new car. I got a Toyota Highlander. Having a new car is kind of exciting....there are so many neat things it does--but all I really know how to do is drive it. I'll let Drew read the manual and show me all the fancy things it can do. :)

Hudson kept saying, "Let's go places." I couldn't figure out what he was really saying or why....until I realized he was saying the Toyota slogan, "Toyota....Let's Go Places!" Crazy kid!! Marketing works on him!! They decided to switch sides for their car seats. They couldn't get over how different everything was on the opposite side--they were hilarious! They still can't remember to go to the other side to get in. I think they've been the most excited about getting a new car. Hudson told everyone we saw for the first week about it--his teachers at school and BSF, grocery store workers, the librarian, the people at Lifetime....Ha!

This little girl was beyond excited when this little gem arrived at our door!! I can't tell you how many times she sings "Let it Go"--all.day.long!! I love hearing her sweet little voice though!! :)
