Daddy/Daughter Dance

There was a Daddy/Daughter Dance at the church tonight for girls between the ages of 8 and 11. Lexi's dad is now living in Conroe, which is over an hour away in GREAT traffic. Our home teacher, Eric Johnson, filled in and they had a great time. He has been watching out for us for 6 years now.

Day of the Braids

There is a silly email/text going around the Jr High and Elementary telling all the girls to wear braids today to see if the boys notice. I knew the boys wouldn't notice, but it is kind of a unifying thing for the girls. I asked Lexi if she would like Jordan to spread the word around so that some boys may look. I took a few pictures of Lexi and our neighbor, Sofia, on our way to school this morning. 

Spring Break at Brazos Bend State Park

Spring Break is coming to an end, so we headed back to our home last night. We got up early this morning to beat the crowds down at Brazos Bend State Park. I love coming here every spring. I always enjoy hiking and looking at alligators.

Saint Patty's Day

It is Saint Patrick's Day and of course I insisted that we all wear festive t-shirts. We went to see the new movie, Beauty in the Beast (live action) with Grandma. After, we met Papa, Katy and Jackson at B52 which is an outdoor brewery that has food trucks and games on some weekends.

Roaming the Grandparents' New Hood

Today, our Spring Break fun included a LONG walk down to the club house in Grandma & Papa's new neighborhood. I think the kids complained for 3/4 of our walk, but we kept going. At the club house, they fished out floating golf balls from the lake that is used as part of the driving range.

On the trek back, we stopped at this old fashioned park. It is rare to see metal play equipment, so they thought it was a real treat. Fortunately, it wasn't hot enough for them to experience the burning effects these parks can have.

Spring Break Movers

It is Spring Break here and I have to work. Fortunately, Grandma and Papa just moved to Montgomery, Texas (today). We headed up to see them and help unpack. I figured that would be a lot more fun for the kids than hanging out in our boring house doing the same old thing. They actually worked hard and accomplished a lot to the amazement of the grandparents and even me.  

Crazy Hair

It is crazy hair day today at school and the kids didn't want to miss out. I let Lexi and Jordan pick what they wanted and this is what they came up with. Miriam wanted in on the action and I figured that it was harmless enough, so she had blue tips too.

Lexi's teacher posted a picture of her today working out in the school garden.

Not Lucy

This weekend, we are dog sitting, but it is not our favorite dog - Lucy. This one is named Ginny and sometimes at night she likes to bite the person she is sleeping with. Not a cute little nip either. Her owners had to go out of town for a funeral and heard that Lexi likes to dog sit for free. I guess we're the popular ones now. The girls still enjoyed having her.

Spring Picture Day

It is Spring Picture Day at school. This is when they take the class pictures too. I decided that I didn't want to buy them this year because I am already buying the year book for each kid. Instead, I snapped a few before school pictures and one with the neighbors that we walk to school every day too.
