Life Happens

I kept my niece this weekend because the rest of her family was busy with various different things.  I was happy to keep her.  She plays well with my boys.

I only had her for an hour when this happened.  Apparently she was going down the slide with a PVC pipe, and the pipe hit the ground before she did.  It could have been a lot worse than it was.  Auntie of the Year right here!!!

Saturday night,  Heath started running a high fever.  Sunday, I finally decided to take him to the ER because of the fever and a rash and he was very lethargic.  The diagnosis....he has Scarlet Fever.  He is finally starting to feel better (with no fever or rash), and I hope that he will get to come back to school tomorrow.

Of course, this week, we are STAAR testing and I CANNOT miss school.  Chris went fishing, so my mom has been my life saver and is watching him.  She is awesome!

It continues...... (updated 4/8/15)

Wednesday, I finally sent Heath back to school.  Wednesday evening, Hunter came down with the stomach bug.  AGH!!  We stayed at home with him on Thursday.

Spring Break 2015

I know this is a little late, but life has been crazy, as usual.

We went to Dallas for Spring Break to visit Chris' sister and her family.  While we were there, we went to Great Wolf Lodge.  The boys loved it and had a blast in the water park.

We also went to Lego Land.  They had so much fun.

This has to be the most adorable picture ever!  We got so many comments on their shirts.

No outing would be complete in our family without a trip to Cabela's.

Our nephew Caden is super fond of his Uncle Chris.

Carnival Fun

San Angelo Stock Show with our bestie!

Dad's Day

Our school has been doing a series of "Dad's Days" at school to get more parental involvement.  The first day was last month and the fathers came and sat in the classroom with their child for about an hour before going and listening to a speaker talk about how important fathers are to a child's education.

The second day, was a Dad's Math Morning.  Dad's and their kids played math games with cards/dominoes.  Next month, there will be a Dad's science night where the leader promises very "manly" science stuff will take place.

The twins absolutely LOVE when their daddy comes to school with them.

Look....even my daddy got to come to school!

He was there for Miss Kali, though.

Valentine Vay-Cay Part 2

While we were in San Antonio, we watched our family (nephews and nieces) show their sheep at the San Antonio Livestock Show.  As always we also enjoyed some of the attractions and shopping.

The boys learned how to grind corn the old fashioned way.

Team Work

While we were there, Hunter discovered his love of raw oysters.  He is his father's child!

Valentine Vay-cay

Over Valentine's weekend, we had a chance to get out of town for a few days. Chris and I started off with a trip to Austin to talk to the Texas Legislature while the boys got to hang with Lolly and Pops and swim in an indoor pool.

After that, we picked the boys back up and took them to the San Antonio Zoo.   Of course, they loved it and loved getting to see all of the animals.

The Get-Along Shirt

In trying to put a stop to all the constant brotherly bickering around our house we have recently invented the Get-Along shirt. 

Hunter calmly accepted the punishment. Heath, on the other hand, fought it with everything he had. 

After 10 minutes of sitting on the couch in their T-shirt working together to read a book we may have realized why Heath was so touchy to begin with. He was sound asleep.
