Spring Break 2009

Oh, how I am wishin' Spring Break could be two weeks, instead of just one! It was hard to get back in the groove yesterday after being gone for a week. We had a great week. Here it is in a nutshell. The boys and I left last Sunday and drove to Austin with Mom and Dad. We spent the week visiting with Marmee and Grandma Junie, hanging out, shopping (we found Collier a baptism outfit), playing at the park and having lots of fun. We had a St Paddy's Day party, had lunch in San Marcos with Shannon and J.W. and just had an overall fun, relaxing time. Thursday Mom took us to meet Gigi. Kenny met us at the farm later that night. The boys REALLY missed their Daddy (and vice versa). Karen, Steve and the kids came Thursday night too, so the kids got in some good cousin playtime. Friday we took all the kids to the Blue Bell Creamery. I think everyone in Texas had the same idea we did - it was crowded! Although, we did not get to take the tour (they were already full by the time we got there), we got to eat ice cream and watch a great video about how they make ice cream...oh, and jump in the bounce houses that looked like great big containers of Blue Bell ice cream! On the way home, we stopped to take pictures in the bluebonnets. They are especially pretty this year around Brenham and College Station. Carson was so funny - he tried SO hard not to step on the bluebonnets. Every time we would drive by somebody on the side of the road, he would say "look at those people just smashin' down the bluebonnets!"...straight out of Yaya's mouth! Friday night we celebrated Pawpaw's bday with Mexican food - yum! :) Saturday, we hung out at the farm, played, ate and visited. We left Sunday morning to come back to reality, laundry and a friend's bowling bday party. It was a great week. The boys had fun and did awesome (especially Collier, who was not on his normal sleep schedule). Here is a link to some of the pictures from our week...

You can download (or upload...not sure) any of them you want. I am trying to figure out how to post them as a slide show over on the right, for some reason it is not letting me today?! Hope everyone is having a great week. The weather here this week is not as good as what we had last week...but we really need the rain, so no complaints!
