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!!

Reagan's Spring Program!

Reagan had her Spring musical program last week at school. They did a great job, and Reagan had a speaking part that she did a wonderful job with! It was super fun, and we can't wait for the next show!

My Army Guy!

I was working on cleaning out Hudson's closet last weekend, when I found this Army outfit! Hudson loves to pretend play that he is a soldier, and loves watching National Geographic movies about the military! He had not been able to fit into this outfit until now! We will see how frequently I have to wash this for him!

Bowling!

Last weekend, we had an early soccer game and an early basketball game, so the afternoon was actually free of activities! We decided to take the kids bowling, and they had a blast! Bumpers would automatically come up during their turns, and they both beat me on the first game! It was a lot of fun, and we can't wait to go back soon!

Purple Thunder Basketball!

Reagan has her last basketball game of the season this weekend. She has had a great time playing, and the team has come a long way during the season. They had their party last weekend, where all of the girls got medals and, of course, ice cream! Go Purple Thunder!

Lego Fire City!

Hudson's gift from Santa was Lego Fire City, and he and John finally got the opportunity to put it together about a week ago! It took some time, but the end product was great! It even came with a kitten in a tree to rescue! Hopefully, John will not have to help Hudson rebuild this anytime soon!

Snow Day!

Reagan got to have a snow day about two weeks ago and loved every minute of it! Our "light dusting" of snow that was predicted, turned into over an inch! Unfortunately, Hudson was sick with a stomach virus, (that he then shared with Reagan and I) so he didn't have much of a chance to play in the snow. We will see if Texas Winter Weather is over or not....
