Springtime Fun

Even though we've seen a lot of rain this spring, that hasn't stopped us from having fun!

Mimi has a huge box of  dress up clothes in which the boys love to wear.

 Reid always seems to get hurt.  He has more bumps, bruises and scrapes than I can count.  Here he was icing down a knot of the top of his head from falling down.

 Yum!!

 Connor's spring photos.  When did he get so big?!?

 Reid loves playing school at home and doing "homework" like Connor.

 Getting ready for baseball practice.  

 Saturday morning, 6:30am and we are at Chick-fil-a.  Shockingly, they were the only kids in there!

 The mall has a big screen tv where they play the video game, Just Dance.  You just follow along with the dance moves on the screen, then it tells you how you did at the end of the song.  Reid loves it and will dance forever.  I just sit on the bench and watch and laugh!

 At Connor's baseball game. His face was covered in pizza sauce and his jeans covered in mud.  All BOY!

 Having fun at our neighborhood playground.  

 Fishing at the local state park.

 MeMaw brought Connor a lego set, which she thought would take days to build, but only took him one afternoon!

 Reid showing off an Easter cookie he made at a church Easter party.

Reid had a character book parade at his school.  He loves reading the books "Piggie and Elephant." So, he dressed as Elephant and carried the book, "Can I Play Too?"

 We saw some cute puppies for sale at a pet store, so the boys had to pet each one. They were SO stinkin' cute!!

Happy Spring!!

Museum Fun

In the last few weeks we tried out two museums in Houston--the Children's Museum and the Museum of Natural Science.

 We got to see and touch baby sharks!

Reid wasn't so sure at first...

Connor was all about it!

After seeing his big brother touch the sharks, Reid figured it was safe to touch as well!

Having a serious conversation!

We met up with our friends Gentry and Jake (their mom was my roommate at BU.)

Lookout behind you!!

We went to the Children's Museum on a Saturday and it was SO packed.  I'm so spoiled since I've been able to stay at home with the kids, we always go when the big kids are in school. But now that Connor is a "big kid" we had to wait and go when he didn't have school.

 I hope this isn't what the future holds...Reid in the back of a cop car!!

 Connor designed a Lego car and tried to race it on the track.

 He had to try and pull himself up with his own body weight.

 Trying...

 Trying...

 It was much harder than it looked!

 It is very rare that the boys sleep together, but after a day full of fun, this happened. :)

Go Texan Day

A couple of weeks ago was Go Texan Day here in Texas. The kids at Reid's school dressed up as cowboys and put on a little program for the parents.

 Chick-fil-A celebrated Go Texan with activities, free desserts and of course the cow!

 Connor thinks the cow is hilarious! If you can't tell from this picture, he is dying laughing at things the cow was doing.

Proud Texans, Y'all!

Baggie Time

Baylor + Aggies = Baggies

Our kids are the result of a mixed marriage. "Baggies" are kids born to one Baylor parent and one A&M parent.  Back when the two schools were in the same conference it was fun to make friendly bets on the outcome of a game and dress our kids in half green/half maroon.  But, the Ags left the conference and it's rare that they play one another these days.  However, both baseball teams played in a tournament in Houston so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to go.  

 These boys can eat!!!!  We have to order food off the regular adult menu anywhere we go because the kids meals are usually just not enough.  And within an hour, they are hungry again.  Oh I cringe to think about how much they'll be eating during the teenage years.  At the ballpark, they each had 2 hot dogs, a box of raisins, an entire package of both peanuts and popcorn, then polished off a pizza.  By then we were broke so we made them hold off until we left to eat more!!

 Reid danced and tried to get on the big screen the entire game.  But then when he left for a few minutes to go to the restroom... 

Connor and I made it on the jumbo tron.  It was Connor's first time to try and Reid tried from the time we got there until we left!! Maybe it was because Connor was wearing Aggie clothes waving a Baylor sign?!?

 We had a great time!!!  Sic 'Em and Gig 'Em!
