Lake Livingston:: Mother's Day 2013

The boys were going to go fishing with the kids.  I had never taken my kids fishing.  I was going fishing.   It lasted all of 15 minutes.  I loved that 15 minutes.  After fishing, I buried the Ramelow boys in the sand, which is somthing my kids would never agree to.  It's the Mother's Day that keeps on giving.  We finished the day of with a pizza party.  Perfection.

Spent the weekend on Lake Livingston with some great friends: The Ramelows.  

 

 

Spring Break - Farm

Spring Break 2013 started off a little eerie.  Mimi and Papa, also on Spring Break requested to spend a little time with the kiddos, minus the parents.  With a pile of work and life, it seemed like a good plan.  We received daily updates and I am pretty sure it was a resounding success.  The grandparents, most importantly, survived.

After Madison, Austin, and Mimi traveled from Waco to San Antonio by train, I journeyed by car to meet them at the end of the week with a few of my friends.  It was an action pack few days of a whole lot of nothing.  Except for a lot of laughing, jumping, playing, hiking, eating, pizza making, swinging, and much, much more. 

In other news, Papa may need to tell the story of how he played plumber one day and the philosophy of waste vs sacrifice.

 

 

 

happy mlk day

have no idea what the conversation is about, but this is what we heard from the other room:

austin: boys over here and girls over here....
madison: um, it's not nice to segregate....

Zoo Day

It's a holiday.....so, we are one in a million.

On record as the longest adventure ever.  Good day, but the vino never tasted so good.

Meet Jaclyn.  She is the new Becca.  She (and her boyfriend Matt) hung out with us all day so we could get to know each other better. Think she is alright people.  Crazy, which is something I like a lot.
