Sunday Fun Day!

One Sunday, we decided to go up to the Country Club as a family. We all drove around the course while Mikey played 9 holes and then we had dinner. The kids played musical golf carts each time we stopped. We got a selfie in when all 3 of them were riding with me!

Daddie tried to take a picture for us and I think the selfie turned out better.

We ate with some friends at the Country Club. Bentley sat with his partner in crime. They were singing and being silly with the popcorn. It was too much fun!

We hope to have another Sunday Fun Day very soon if it ever stops raining!

Petting Zoo Birthday Party

Our friend, Maggie, had a Petting Zoo at her birthday party this year and the kids loved it. Bentley really got into it. He wanted to pet and hug each of the animals.

Thomas the Train!

Having a boy has been so different than the girls. Their brains truly work in different ways. Bentley is so fixated on everything boy. Airplanes, Helicopters, Big Trucks, Tractors, Boats, Balls, Lawn Mowers, and most of all, Choo Choo Trains! I saw on TV that Thomas the Train was coming to the area, so we bought tickets and just knew that Bentley would love riding on a real train! There were a bunch of Thomas activities all set up and the train ride of course. Marmee and Guy met us and we had so much fun!

After we parked, we walked over to wait for a shuttle to take us to Thomas.

When we got there, we went ahead and made our way to the line to wait for the train. We took some pictures while we were waiting.

Bentley did not want to look at the camera.

Daddie definitely took this opportunity to dress up!

The train is here!

We made it to our seats!

And off we go. Choo Choo!!

After the train ride, we got some pictures of the train up close.

We got a group picture in front of the poster.

After we got off of the train, we walked around and did all of the fun activities.

After we were done with all of the fun activities, we walked over to a restaurant and had an early birthday lunch for Guy!!

Guy loves chocolate!!

Someone was tired out after his big day with Thomas!

Hannah & Preston!!

We have been looking forward to Hannah and Preston's visit for quite a while and it did not disappoint. They flew into Austin on a Thursday and then went to East Texas to visit more of the family and then came to Mom and Dad's for Easter Dinner. They spent the night at Mom and Dad's and then the kids and I met them at Marmee's work on Monday to take them back up north with us! I had been watching the weather the whole week before because I know how much Hannah loves the pool and the sun and I was so glad that we were able to hang by the pool while they were here!

Mikey even put Preston to work!

Mikey grilled burgers one night and we ate out by the pool.

Mikey and Preston smoked a brisket one day!

On Thursday, Mikey took the day off and we took all of the kids to school and had a fun day out. We played Top Golf and then went to the Country Club for lunch. Later that afternoon, Mikey, Hannah and Preston went to ride indoor go karts.

That Friday Evening, Mycah met us for an adult dinner out and we hung out at the house the rest of the night.

Hanging by the pool, playing Top Golf and going out to eat were so much fun. I love spending time with Hannah and Preston, but it is the little things that these two do that means the world to me. They take the kids on walks to go see the tractors, they get the kids out of the car and carry them into places when we are running errands, they went to Presley's school for chapel, they sat through an hour of gymnastics, they let the kids stay home with them when I went to the gym, they hold the kids on the couch, they read to them, they are patient with them and most of all, they love them unconditionally. I felt like I was on vacation, and nothing makes me more happy as a mother to see someone else truly love and understand my kids. Hannah and Preston are so amazing with children and they are going to make amazing parents. I love you guys more than you will ever know! Needless to say, it was a very tearful and hard goodbye and we can't wait to see them again this Summer.
