Dragon Night at the Rangers Game

The Rangers were cheered on by lots of Dragon fans tonight.  It was Southlake Carroll ISD's night at the ballpark.  It was an awesome game, and we all had so much fun.  We stayed for the entire game and enjoyed the firework show afterwards.   

Well Checks

We did some double duty today and had both boys' annual well check.  I can't believe how fast the years are flying by.  The boys had to wear paper gowns, and they refused because they are printed with teddy bears. I "out mommed" them by turning them inside out.  Ha!  Oh, my sweet little boys.

Ryland weighed 55.8 lbs - 69.85% and was 4'1" tall - 64%. 

Reed weighed 47 lbs - 82.38% and was 3'8" tall - 74.86%.

Bows & Rings at the Ballpark

When you spend the majority of your Saturdays at the ballpark watching your brothers play baseball, you make the best of friends.  Ridley's buddies look like they could be her sisters.  They all were happy as could be with a Ring Pop and a little shade.

007: Mother and Son Bonding

The City of Grapevine hosted a mother and son date night with a James Bond theme.  I was really excited to take the boys and have some fun.  The atmosphere was very themed, and we had a blast!  

After laser tag, we did a photo shoot.  They just told us to do 3 different poses in front of a green screen.  We didn't have a clue on how they would turn out.  Super cute!

We enjoyed a stretch Escalade limo ride around a few blocks while we jammed out to spy songs.  The boys loved the limo ride.  Absolutely their favorite!

We danced, ate, and did an Escape Room.  It was a great night with my favorite boys.

Kinder Bootcamp

Reed is looking forward to starting Kindergarten.  He was super excited to attend Kinder Bootcamp at Old Union.  Look at this excitement!

Teacher Appreciation

We decided to continue a fun activity to celebrate our wonderful teachers. We picked out some beautiful flowers for Mrs. Evans.  I enjoyed "playing" with the fresh flowers, and I had great assistance.

Voila!  We are show offs!  

Chapel Hill's Spring Program

Our life is full of blessings.  

Today, we celebrated Reed.  He is a smart boy with a kind heart.  He always loves going to school and has an amazing memory of Bible verses.  Chapel Hill has been a perfect fit for him.  

Reed sang with his class in Grace Chapel and then showed off his artwork.  I could tell he was proud of himself, and he was beaming.  We are so proud of him!

Bedtime Reading

Bedtime can be stressful, but I absolutely love when we have sweet moments.  Tonight, Reed and Ridley wanted the same story, so they climbed up in my lap.  I wanted the story to go on forever, because I know these babies are growing every day.  I wish time could slow down.  

Cutest Catcher

Reed played catcher today, and I just thought he was the cutest little thing.  Adorable!

Old Union Night

Each school in Carroll ISD has a special night at Dragon Baseball Stadium.  Tonight, it was all about Old Union.  The students that arrived before the game got to go out on the field to sing the National Anthem.  Reed was thrilled to be included, too.  

We all had a great time cheering on the Dragons and eating lots of junk.  The children were bouncing off the walls, and eventually we told the pack to go down and run around the track beside the stadium.  They had a blast!

Flower for Mrs. Evans

Ryland's teacher, Mrs. Evans, was selected as the Old Union Elem Teacher of the Year.  Today, the students were asked to bring Mrs. Evans a flower to celebrate her.  Ryland picked white azaleas out of our flower bed that had one pink bloom.  It was a special gift for his special teacher.

The boys are looking forward to an awesome baseball season!

Come on Summer

It is beginning to look a bit like summer.  

The boys had a friend over, and we cooked out before jumping in the pool.  We are really looking forward to relaxing and enjoying the backyard.

Easter Sunday

He is Risen!

Easter Bunny Visits

Once again, the Easter Bunny left a trail of huge footprints to the treats.  Along the way he dropped jelly beans and slipped on a toy. 

Goodies!  Goodies!  Goodies!

Eggs

After a full few days away, we still needed to dye some pretty eggs.  It was the perfect way to wrap up the evening.  We are ready for the Easter Bunny!

Barton Creek Easter Party

We loved the day full of Easter party fun.  This was a delightful surprise of sweet treats and perfectly planned hospitality from the awesome staff.  The children could not have been happier!  They all look awesome in their amazing face paint.  The artist was top notch!

Egg hunt time for these two.  Their age group was all about speed.

Ridley's group was more laid back and relaxing.  

They racked up on goody filled eggs.

The balloon artist was like nothing I had ever seen before.  The cobras and butterfly were a big hit.  

We had a fantastic Easter weekend in Austin.  It was just perfect, and we would love to make this a holiday tradition.

Nature Trail

We spent a few days in Austin at the Barton Creek Resort.  I had heard wonderful things about the resort and how perfect it is for families. We explored the outdoors and went for a hike.  It was a beautiful day with my precious family.

Easter Bunny 2016

I had big plans for last minute photos with the Easter Bunny, but we were at the mall right by him this evening.  I gave in and "hopped" in line.  The kiddos didn't have on their cute clothes, and I had no prep time with Ridley.  This is the best we could get.
