March

March was fun. The weather always seems to be schizophrenic - cold and icy one day and then springlike the next only to be followed by tornadoes...yep - it's fun!! There's always Cub Scout awards and enjoyable Spring Break times. Here's what it held for us!!

Hard to believe this boy has only 1 year of Cub Scouts left. Which means he has only 1 year of elementary school left. I know I sound like EVERY other mother, but seriously, why does the time have to fly by so fast!? This was his Blue & Gold banquet. He's very close to earning his Arrow of Light and Faith in God award. 

 This sweet girl was able to attend a good friend's birthday party and the painting was so much fun! The kids were able to choose their own colors and make their picture truly their own. What a fun time all of them had!!!

During the week of Spring Break the kids and Paula headed up to the 45th Infantry Museum in OKC because RTC enjoyed it so much the first time he went!!! Lots of cool exhibits. A little chilly that day, but that didn't deter them one bit!

 The end of Spring Break week was spent going to west Texas (Abilene & Pecos) with Scott's family. I have never seen the amount of rain we ran into in all my life. Wow! But it was so wonderful to spend time with family we don't see all the time. I'll do a separate post on the whole trip when I can do it justice. We so enjoyed our time together though!

There's nothing more fun than getting a new phone and finding kid selfies on it. The smirk just gets me. Every. Time.

Tornado season broke out on March 25th this year.

This is how La chose to spend her time while I watched the weather updates.

Thank goodness for Amazon Prime!

Hope your March was entertaining and rewarding.

March - In Like A....

What's the old adage "in like a lion out like a lamb"? If I remember right that was usually regarding the weather...I'm saying that based on our busyness I'm going with "in like a lion, out like a lion" just because we packed quite a bit into our March.

First La & I spent some

time with my sister & mom.
Patti & I even snuck out at saw
"Frozen" just the two of us! Good times!

It started getting warm enough that bike rides after school were normal. Now if we could just get the training wheels off!

We had a friend suggest that we take the kids to The Jasmine Moran Children's Museum so we did that one Friday afternoon that school was out.

 They had a great time!

Then for spring break we took them for a long weekend in San Antonio...and this is how my kids travel...

Yep - RTC plays his DS and La either takes selfies or sleeps...

We saw Moroni!

The morning started out quite foggy & humid. We wanted them to see the San Antonio temple though so we did that first! They thought it was so beautiful and loved seeing all the stained glass. 

Then it was off to...

SeaWorld! We thought it might be good training for any amusement parks in the future!

She LOVES cotton candy.

I think one of my former bosses got her hooked on it!

 Robert took this photo of the 3 of us - we thought it kind of looked like a selfie that Scott took...

They loved seeing all the shows and seeing the animals too!

La took this picture...we thought them documenting the

trip through photos could be interesting!

RTC's first non-kid roller coaster. He LOVED it!!!

On the way home Sunday we took them to The Alamo.

RTC had just read a book about Jim Bowie so he was 

excited! 

We finished off the month with RTC auditioning with OMTA.

The little bugger scored a I+. On to state he goes!

He just had to show his teacher his medal!
