A Whole Lotta Fun

We've been having lots of fun lately!  Take a look:

Josh won Rangers tickets on the radio!  This was the bus that took us down to San Antonio to see the Rangers play at the Alamodome.

 MeMaw bought us season tickets to Sea World so we made a day trip with our friends Kennedy and Brady.  Weekdays are definitely the time to go! There was no one there and we were able the ride the rides over and over!

 Playing Hi Ho Cherry-O

 Some girls and I went to A Painting with a Twist class.  It was SO much fun!!  You start with a blank canvas and slowly work your way up to a masterpiece!

 I can't even paint a stick figure so for me, this was indeed a masterpiece!  This painting is Congress Ave bridge in Austin.

One advantage of having early risers is that you are completely finished with your grocery shopping by 7:00am AND you get to be the first one to play the buddy buck machine!!

 Our church has a program called Bags of Grace.  It's a program designed to help the homeless.  One night our family met at church and let the kids stuff bags to hand out to the homeless.  They really enjoyed putting them together and a great lesson was taught! :)

 Connor is playing soccer this season and doing a great job.  Josh and I are coaching and we are all having so much fun!! Go FIREBALLS!!!

 The boys told me they were pretending to have bunk beds.  Reid is underneath the pillows.  They called me in there to see the bunk beds and were holding hands while they "slept!"

 My cousin Kim hosts a huge Easter egg hunt each year.  After Easter our Wal-Mart had all these eggs on sale for $.30 each so she had me load up!! 

 When Reid got out of the bath I sent him to his room to get his pj's on...or so I thought.  When I couldn't find him in his room, he was on the computer, headphones on and NAKED!!

 We had lunch with Josh one day and Connor started crying when he left.  Here are their "sad that Daddy's gone" faces.

 On this day, Reid's teacher said "he only had to go to time out twice today, so it was a good day!!"  Ay yi yi!!

 Connor took my phone while I was driving and took pictures of Reid.

 After all this fun, even tough little pirates need their rest!

Reid's School Party

I'm a little out of order on events, but Easter, Reid's birthday, Colton's wedding, Reid's ER visit and his school party all happened the same weekend.  Whew.  So here are pictures from Reid's Easter egg hunt at school:

Reid Turns 3

On March 31 Reid turned 3 years old!!  This year it was on Easter so he thought all the festivities were just for him!!  We went to Pappasito's for lunch where they had face painting and the Easter Bunny there.  They even sang Happy Birthday to him!

 Sitting by his "favorite friend" of course!

Connor got his face painted Spider man first, then guess who wanted the EXACT same thing?!?

We went for his 3 year check up the following day and here's where he stands:

Height: 41 inches (off the charts)

Weight: 37 lb (about 93%ile)

Ironically, Connor at age 3 was 1/2" shorter and 1 lb lighter.  So they are pretty much neck and neck!  The chart still says by age 18 they could both be 6'4"-6'6"  In a few years, at 5'10", I will be the shortest!!

They say kids grow up fast, take a look back at the last 3 years:

 Can't leave out big brother!

Uncle Cannon sent us money for Reid's birthday so I took him to Toys R Us to pick out anything he wanted.  Here he is showing off a couple of the presents:

 

Reid has been a bit of a stinker lately at school.  He's always been a stinker for me, but now he's starting to get in trouble at school.  If you ask him why he threw his trucks, he says, "because there was a tornado." Or if you ask him why he was mean to one of his friends he'll say, "because I like Connor"  what ever that's supposed to mean!  From the beginning of the year his teacher has said she doesn't feel Reid is being challenged enough and because of that, tends to get bored and get in trouble.  She said he is much more mature than most of the kids and we hope that's all it is!! He's still a cute stinker!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my little Easter Bunny!
