Spring Fun!

Spring is a great time to start getting outside and having fun as a family! Our favorite pastime these past few weeks, has been baseball! The kids are both getting much better and we love playing with them in the backyard. It's even better when they come inside to help with dishes after dinner!!

We love the Rangers!

We may have started a new tradition....On the afternoon of Easter, we all went to a Texas Rangers game! Both the kids had a great time, and LOVED eating all of the ballpark food! Although the Rangers didn't win, it was a great time to be together as a family! At the end of the game, John, Reagan and Hudson got to run the bases on the field! We can't wait to go to our next game!

Easter Egg Baskets and Hunt!

Easter Sunday morning is always a favorite for the kids. The Easter Bunny left great baskets and several eggs to be found in the backyard! If you can't tell by their faces, both Reagan and Hudson were super excited!!

Annual Easter Egg Dyeing!

We went over to Nan and Da's house the weekend of Easter to do the annual dyeing of the Easter Eggs! The kids always have so much fun, and it is a great tradition that we will hopefully continue for years to come!

More California Fun!

Here are some more pictures from our trip to California....San Francisco, the sea lions at Pier 39, the Golden Gate Bridge, the famous fire hydrant that helped put out massive fires in San Francisco in the early 1900s after a terrible earthquake, and Alcatraz! It was a great trip, and I am sure that we will go back someday! Maybe next time, we will let the kids go with us!

California!

John and I had the opportunity to go to California for a few days earlier this month! Nan and Da were kind enough to keep the kids, so that we could have a short vacation! We had never been to northern California, and decided it would be a great trip to make. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous, and we had fun exploring the Redwood Forest, mountains, coastline, Pebble Beach, and the beautiful cities of Monterey and Carmel. We had a trusty Ford Fiesta as a rental car to guide our way!

Hudson's Spring Class Show Off!

Hudson had his annual Spring Class Show off at school last week! We got to go and have breakfast with him and his class, followed by singing! His class did a great job! Later that evening, we also went to Kindergarten round-up. We have him registered for "big school" and he can't wait to start going to school with Reagan next year!!
