Don't do this at home

Seriously, don't. This took FOREVER! The ending result was pretty cool though.
The things we do for our kids.



Behold... the Lego pinata. (to be used in a later post)

Curtsy Charlee

She's the prettiest little ballerina I ever saw. Thank you Katie, for being an excellent teacher!

Cleveland With Daddy

We had time to do a few things with Travis before he left to go back to WA. A trip to the zoo, the Arcade, and the West Side Market.


We'll see you again in a couple months.

Easter Fun

Our family Easter picture taken at the church egg hunt.


Welcome home daddy!



Many contributed to make these Easters baskets good ones. Thanks!


The hunt is on. This is the main reason for taking pictures on all the nicely decorated eggs. Not just to document the cuteness, but to document the number, that way I don't end up with a rotten egg somewhere when the Easter Bunny forgets how many eggs he hid.


Travis go to help Dillon put together his motor kit that he got in his basket. It took a really l-o-n-g time and still wouldn't really work. Bummer.


Then we had our super cool friends come over and eat some yummy food, hunt for candy eggs and roll around in the big ball. And you wouldn't know it from the pictures (not sure why) but Grammy and Poppy got to spend Easter with us too which made it all the better. What a great Easter!

Grammy, Poppy, and Fair Oaks Dairy Farm

After seeing this on Youtube my parents insisted on driving up here in their motor home for the sole purpose of taking us there to see it in person. I guess it's the Texas in me, but I was definitely willing to go.


It's amazing the system they have going for milking the cows. You really do have to see it to get the full "wow" of it all.


The viewing of the cows giving birth was seriously painful. I guess I've never been a fan of any type of live birth viewing... Especially the part when they v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y eat their after birth.


Speaking of eating, the dairy stuff at the cafe was fantastic. Cheese, yogurt, ice cream, heaven.




Camping. Or at least that's what we called it. However, growing up the words camping and luxury motorhomes never went together. Just the same I was glad to have it when it's still hitting 35 degrees at night time, and the kids had a blast.

They even kind of enjoyed emptying the sewage tank.

Then Poppy took the kids fishing where they had to watch him rip apart a worm and shove it on a hook. Poor kids. Next time I think we'll go for the kind of bate that's not actually living and moving around.

We always love it when Gammy and Poppy come for a visit.
