Houston

We went to Houston for the weekend to visit some friends. The highlight of the trip was a trip to the Houston Zoo. Besides the standard favorites of the animals and a train ride, the kids had their 1st carousel ride. I couldn't believe that Bryce wanted to ride and was even more surprised when he loved it and Ivy cried.

New Garden

My herb garden was in serious need of help and Russell (with a little help from Bryce) came to my rescue. We now have 4 raised garden beds and hopefully our herbs and veggies will appreciate the makeover and will not die on me...

All Dressed Up

Someone told Ivy that the rodeo was in town so she got all ready to go!

Fox Family Fun

Russell's Aunt Dot and Uncle Marty were in Dallas visiting their daughter's family. They convinced Hilary and Scott to bring Morgan to visit us for the weekend. Morgan was the first one to sleep in Bryce's trundle bed. No one could believe the kids slept in the same room all night. Both are known to be night wanderers... On Sunday we went to the kite festival. Marty and Scott brought kites, Hilary supplied bubbles, I was in charge of food and Ivy monitored the port o potties. We all had a great time.

Corpus Christi

We took the kids to visit Dede for the weekend. We all had a great weekend. We took the kids to a new museum which had a great kids area in addition to the regular exhibits. Staying in a hotel was also a big hit. The kids loved popcorn at happy hour and the breakfast in the morning.

Visit with Nana

A major snowstorm in NY wasn't going to keep Nana from visiting her grandkids. Myra was able to come in for the weekend and our weather cooperated for a change. It was warm enough that we got to show off a few playgrounds and take a train ride.
