Rodeo... State Park... Fishin' at the Duck Pond...

Not going to write too much, just going to post a bunch of pictures!!  So even though we were sick spring break week we did get to enjoy some things still.  First off was a trip to Brazos Bend State Park.  Then we followed up with a day of fishing at our local duck pond.  Then to top off the very end of spring break we went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo!  Here are some pics from those events...

DUCK POND FISHIN'...

Spring Break... And Most of Us Are Sick!

Well it's that time of the year, where the weather plays that funny trick of hot verses cold!  So as all who live in Houston, Texas know it usually means bring on the sicknesses.  So my son, myself and my youngest daughter are all struggling with either a very bad cold or virus of some kind.  And wouldn't you know it, it's SPRING BREAK!!!  But, were not going to let it keep us down.  We are picking up and going to Brazos Bend State Park in the early morning.  Then tomorrow it's off to the Rodeo Carnival.  Tons of things to do, but daddy is only home with us for these first two days so we have to take advantage of our time with him and go out and do as much as we can as a family.  Love this time of year, hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed spring break!

Rodeo...

I can safely say that my kids have really enjoyed rodeo time this year maybe more than any other year.  They all had days of western at school and my two youngest rode ponies last week.  My neice Gillian stayed over with us and when the kids woke the next mornin' they were off to the parade!  They were very excited that Gillian was able to come as was she.  I heard all about it when they arrived home.  Their Nana and Papa took them...  Special time with their grandkids!  Great weekend for all.

Rodeo Day at School

Meryn just after she rode the pony

So yesterday was Rodeo Day at the Allan and Meryn's preschool!  They had a blast and they even got to ride on real live ponies.  They were so extremely excited about that.  Meryn was so excited about rodeo day at school that the night before she put her boots on and wore them to bed just so she could already have them on when she woke up.  Too cute!!  When I did get her up she said mommy why didn't you take off my boots last night, I told her "I tried, but you wouldn't let me!"  As soon as I tried to take them off she woke up slightly and got very upset with me, so on the boots stayed!  Allan was excited as well, he pretty much had gotten a new wardrobe for this day.  His boots never came off, nor did the belt or hat.  His teachers said that he was so proud of his cowboy gettup!  So I am going to try and upload some pics from Rodeo Day, but bare with me because I have yet to really learn how to put the pic on my actuall post...  Lol

Meryn and Allan right before we headed off to Rodeo Day at School

Allan pulled his sissy in for a kiss...  Aww what a sweet boy!

Had just tried on his new cowboy outfit...  He looks so proud of himself

Now this is my fav...  What a HANDSOME DEVIL HE IS!

Happy Valentines To One and All...

Wishing everyone a happy valentines day!  There's not too much to tell about my valentines.  My mother in law kept my children Saturday night so that my husband and I could have some much needed time together.  We have been really busy with work and the kids schedules to stop and just appreciate one another, so that's just what we did.  Bear made us some chicken fajitas for dinner and we sat and watched the movie The Blindside together!  It is a REALLY, REALLY GREAT movie!  I recommend everyone watch it.  Then we just snuggled on the couch and then we wanted some sweets so we went to our favorite ice cream place... Cold Stone!  Then today (Sunday) which is actually valentines day, we got up met our family at church and then had a big family get together at my in laws.  After we filled our bellies with some home-cooked fried chicken I had to cut my visit short and go to work.  Kohl's was depending on me to come save them in the jewelry department from the torture of last minute shoppers...  lol!  Hope everyone had a very HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
