Rodeo day

 
 





Beckett's preschool has a rodeo day.  They have several cowboy type activities and then they host a picnic lunch.  It was a drizzle weather type day.  But all the kids had plenty of fun.

Game Night






We've been enjoying spending time with our friends the A's.  We swap houses and host game nights and cook out!  Our kids enjoy each other and we enjoy the adult company.  So glad they live close and we make time to hang out.

Saint Patrick's Day






I love all holiday's!  I guess its a fun chance to do something fun with my little family.  Saint Patrick's day snuck up on me coming back so soon from our spring break vacation.  I dressed everybody in green and called it good.  When the kids got home I cut up a bunch of green apples and gave them green jello I had made earlier in the day.  Cooper brought home a lil Leprechaun hat and we had fun all trying it on, Camden and the cat didn't care for the hat though.  Then life was back to normal routine.  Allison had tutoring and soccer practice, and they both had homework. 

Ryu's birthday




We drove into Tahoka back in March to my sisters and her families house to celebrate my nephew Ryu's birthday.  We've missed a few birthday's since they moved to Florida.  It was really nice to spend time with my sister and her family.  All the cousins get along so well and we rarely see the kids because there having so much fun.  My brother in law smoked some ribs and we all sat around as the kids threw Frisbees, road a dirt bike, and shot nerf guns!  It was a little cold by the sun was shining.  So thankful we live closer and can spend more time together for birthdays and holidays.

Zoo etc..














We also went to the Zoo while we were in Fort Worth.  I've been to a few zoo's in my life and this zoo is up there in comparison!  The kids love maps and figuring there way through the zoo.  Each kid gets to pick the animal they most want to see and then we just make are way around.  We also collect the penny imprints and had fun searching for those too!  It was a beautiful day and we all had so much fun. 

We checked out of the lodge and spent one more day and night at my moms.  It is never enough time with my mom!  But I enjoyed every minute with her. We gave Camden baths together and stayed up late chatting. I love her so much and value are relationship!  Back to reality!!

Great wolf lodge

 
 




 


 
 











We woke up early and packed before my mom and I left to get pedicures and shop.  Richard stayed with the kids and they packed the car.  I enjoyed some alone time with my mom it was so enjoyable!  Special memories made.  There was no one in the nail salon it was so relaxing!  We also went to hobby lobby and my mom helped me find a new picture to go into one of my frames.  Time flew by and we said goodbye to grandma and papa and made our way to grapevine.  We at lunch and then checked in at Great Wolf Lodge!  It was at full capacity because of spring break.  But there was plenty to do and we kept our selves busy.  I could do a whole post on the lodge but I'll keep it simple.  We swam, ate, played in the arcade, did laser tag, watched 4d shows, completed a few magic quest, and made some forever memories!  I'll never forget wearing Camden and walking up and down 8 flights of stairs while Allison did her magic quest!  Richard was such a trooper as we switched kids over and over in between two days!  Camden was a lil angle sleeping and eating where ever we were.  We will be coming back!

Fort Worth






My mom gave us a gift card to great wolf lodge for Christmas and we figured we would use it during spring break.  We also wanted to spend time with my mom so Richard took off a few days early.  We left to Fort Worth Wed after lunch.  We had plans to meet up with my friend that moved to Oklahoma but her daughter ended up with a fever.  So my mom stayed with Camden and we went to see Zooptopia.  The theater was large and served meals so we at lunch and watched our movie.  I also got to go to a Kendra Scott jewelry store and make my own necklace!  Later my mom and I went to the store, made dinner, and went for a walk.  It was a perfect day!
