trip to the dallas aquarium!!

A couple of the girls and I from work took all the kiddos to the Dallas Aquarium a few weeks ago. It was really a cool place, and the kids had a good time!! Lots of different fish and animals... even a tiger at the end. Kind of random for an aquarium, but the kids liked it!!

My own personal yard crew...

When I pulled onto the street when I came home from work today, I was greeted by my two little guys in their hard hats, helping Dad do yard work. Cody swept while Blake held the dustpan and emptied grass into the trashcan. They were both sweaty and dirty, but so happy to be helping Dad work!

Let's mow for Dad...

Yesterday I went out to the backyard to find the boys "cutting" the grass with their little tools. Cody has some pliers and Blake had a saw, and they were walking around the yard cutting the grass! So cute. Such sweet little boys. They just wanted to help out Daddy!!

Black-eye Blakey

Our little toot had a mishap at daycare the other day. He was jumping and slipped on a toy, and hit his eye on a toybox. Hence, the first black eye of his life. (And maybe, if I'm lucky, his last). He's been really good about it. I'm sure he squalled quite a bit when it happened, but since then, he's handled it like a trooper. Says his eye is "all fixed".

Weekend at the lake!

We went out to Lake Limestone this past weekend to celebrate our 7th anniversary with some friends of ours. We had a lot of fun and the boys really enjoyed riding on the boat!!

It's summertime!!

We got the boys a little pool this weekend for days I don't feel like lugging everything to the neighborhood pool! They are just as happy with this one. Here they are playing in it this afternoon. I also put a picture of our new patio cover!! We had it done yesterday, and it looks fantastic! I can't wait to get new furniture for it and make it pretty!!

Not about the boys, but..

My best friend Erica got married this past weekend, so I thought I would share some pics from the wedding on here, since many of you know her! It was lots of fun, and my nerve wracking toast was a success!! Pics of the little guys coming soon.

Kiddie Land

Collin had his 4th birthday at Kiddie Land in Waco this weekend, and the boys had a great time. Here are some pics of them on the rides, including the big ride that Daddy went on with them!! Also, a pic of their first ball pit experience, and of course, riding the train!

I don't think we're in Texas anymore...

As most of you know, Texas got quite the cold spell on Easter weekend. Waco got approximately 3 inches of snow!! Nothing stuck, but it was neat anyways! Here are a few pics of the kids in the snow, then all the grandkids together on Easter before the egg hunt.

Dying Easter Eggs!

I had a neighbor and her son over yesterday to help dye easter eggs with the boys. They all had lots of fun and made quite the mess!! The boys took a much more actice part in the dying compared to last year. I had to finally take the eggs away as they keep redunking them over and over!! As you can see, Cody decided to decorate himself as well.

More Day out with Thomas pics!!
