Spring Fever!

Well, I think every time that I blog I say that I'm going to be better at keeping up and not wait so long before I blog again, but I'm not going to say that this time. I have learned that I can't keep my word on that.



Here's what's been happening lately....We all have spring fever pretty badly. Brayson was gung-ho to plant "fwowers" so we took a trip to town to get some. He picked some pretty ones as did Blaire. Blaire even found him some little gloves that he loves! I figured by the time we got home he would figure out that planting flowers wasn't as fun as he'd thought, but that wasn't the case. He had so much fun and he was so proud! He even wanted some boys that were playing across the fence to come see his flowers!


Mommy's little helper!
Blaire decided it would be funny to put a pot on his head, he didn't think so!


Blaire and her Mustang colored flowers!


Brayson got a hold of the camera and shot one of Sissy!



Yesterday we ventured out to ride bikes. Up until now, Brayson couldn't even go backwards on his tricycle let alone go forwards. Well, he's doing really good now! He likes to "try" to keep up with Sissy. He kept telling her to "swo down, Sissy"! It was too cute! I'm glad he can finally ride, but now I have to go with him because the only place to ride is in the middle of the street! Oh well. I guess I could use the exercise anyway!











Here is Brayson playing with Sissy's Bop It game! He loves to play it and he's gotten quite good at it! His high score, now, is 21! I didn't catch that one on video, but here he is playing...

Lately....

It seems I've been putting off sitting down and posting what's been going on lately. I've been super busy with cakes and running these two kiddos around that any spare time I have I use to unwind. Well...here goes. The other day Blaire had a day off from school and Darby suggested we call PawPaw to see if we could bring the kids down to ride horses. PawPaw said to "come on", so that's what we did! The kids had so much fun. Brayson got to ride for the first time and he loved it! He rode Stumpy (Tumpy) and he got to going a little fast and kinda slid off the side. He didn't cry, though. Darby stuck him right back up there in the saddle and he was more concerned about the dirt on his clothes than anything else. Then he got to ride a REAL TRACTOR! Tractors are his first love! We then went to the Bass Pro Shop with PawPaw and met Mema there. The kids had so much fun looking at all the mounted animals! We had a great supper afterwards at the Red Robin. Thanks Mema and PawPaw for a fun day!

Then the next weekend we went to Aunt Ginger's surprise 50th birthday party in Junction! We had a great time. Ginger was really surprised! Brayson and Blaire got to play with cousins Alex and Avery. That's always fun!

Then the NEXT week, Darby and I had a date for his belated birthday! We went to a concert in Cedar Park to see Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean. They put on a great show! We had an awesome date and realized that we need to do that a little more often! Thanks Nana and Pops for keeping the kids for us! They love to stay over there!!

The next night was the Allcat conference dance with Johnny Rodriguez and the Big Outfit band (with Uncle Brad). It was an awesome concert as well. The kids went with us and had a blast dancing and eating good food! Then the next day, we went to cousin Hadyn's 5th birthday pizza party! It was sooo much fun! The kids all got to make their own little personal sized pizza! Blaire and Brayson enjoyed theirs last night and it was yummy!

I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family to make memories with. I enjoy every minute with them all. It's been a busy past few weeks, but I wouldn't change a single moment!!

I'll try to post a little sooner next time so you won't have so much to read...but I'm not making any promises.
