Gramz and Gramps Come for a WHOLE Week!

I don't know how we got so lucky to have my parents both come for a week at the end of April! It was a fun, laid back, and project-filled week. They flew into Austin, so we had plenty of time to visit on the road and Kristen was so kind to let us stay at her house. The week went by so fast and I'm so thankful to my parents for helping us clean out the garage, dad...change light bulbs and fix things. We got to spend lots of time just being together which was just what the doctor ordered. They are the easiest guests and we all wish they came more often!

One day we went to downtown Dallas while the kids were in school and visited Dealey Plaza where JFK was assassinated, the Old Red House Museum, and JFK Memorial. We had lunch outside at Corner Bakery. It was lovely to sit there while it misted and we enjoyed the birds, tram, and scenery. The outing was complete with 'Sprinkles' cupcakes. Thanks for supporting us in all we do mom and dad. We love you!

We had an early Birthday/Mother's Day/Father's Day celebration! We love you Gramz and Gramps. Thanks sooooo much for coming!

Easter 2009

Yes the Easter Bunny visited our house this year. The kids opened everything before church and then we dyed Easter eggs. It was really fun this year to see all of the designs the kids came up with.

After church, the day was complete with a festive dinner at Grammy and Pappaw's. (I'm still kicking myself for not taking a picture when we were all dressed up). It was a blessing to reflect on the resurrection of our Savior.

Fort Worth Zoo

We had the 1st free Saturday in weeks, so we took off as a family and went to the Fort Worth Zoo. It is one of the nation's top zoos! Some highlights were the elephants, feeding the birds with seed sticks, flamingos, and watching the gorilla put the white rag on his head while sitting right in front of us. Great family fun!
