Great weather, great kids, great zoo

-
We went to the zoo Saturday morning. It is member appreciation month, and they sent us coupons and have specials at the zoo for members. It was cold!!! YEAH!! I mean, high 40s. YEAH!! It will still be a month before it's cold here all the time, but today it was fun. The sun was out, and the kids were bundled, so we were fine. I feel like I do zoo posts all the time, but we did some different stuff today that we don't normally do (because it costs money!).

Holding hands- so cute!!
Riding on the carousel. We have NEVER done this. The kids don't even bother asking anymore, because I never let them. Today, they were giving FREE rides for members, so they finally got to ride!!! Walker named his horse Walker, and Lucy named hers Rila. *Sidenote- She does this funny thing with naming her friends. If she was naming several friends, like Rila, then another would be Rula, and Rala and Rola. She just changes the first vowel- it's so funny to hear her try to say all the names when she's telling me who they are.

Walker was excited to see the longhorn. It wasn't out the last time we were at the zoo. He has randomly selected UT as "his school". He loves longhorns and doing the sign now. It's really weird because we didn't do anything, he just started saying he loved them and apparently he's sticking with it.

Feeding the birds with seed sticks (another free thing they were doing today)

Thanks for taking our picture, Walker!!

What a fun trip- and what a nice ride home for Mommy!!

Fun Family Weekend

Jason was off Saturday, and I was really looking forward to a family weekend. He usually works Saturdays, but when he is off and we get 2 days in a row all together, we are so happy!! Friday night he called on his way home from work, and told the kids to get dressed in their cowboy boots, we were going somewhere. The kids got so excited, and ran to their rooms. Lucy got some new cowgirl boots for Christmas (2 pairs, actually), and has been wearing them alot!! They got all dressed up in their cowboy stuff and we waited for Daddy to get home. He took us to Trail Dust Steakhouse in Arlington, and he invited my sisters, too. It was so fun!! I hadn't been there since my 16th birthday party, and the kids had a blast; sliding down the slide, dancing on the dance floor and eating yummy steak. It was such a fun night!!! If you wear a tie, they cut it off and put it on their wall!! He wore an old tie on purpose The weekend just kept getting better!! Yesterday, Jason and I had a great date ni...

This week Walker and Lucy are off from ARK School. They are actually NOT excited, they love school!! Caitlin is home this week, too, though so that is fun. We had a great weekend to end my break and kick off the kids. Saturday , we drove to a drive-in theater in Granbury. Colleen (my friend and Walker's teacher) told us about this drive-in and it was showing Horton Hears a Who!, so we decided to check it out. I am so glad there is still one around. Drive-ins are just one of those things I have great memories of and want to do with my kids. At the drive-in, with a good spot. Being comfy in our jim jammers!! Enjoying our picnic dinner. Fruit skewers, pb&j roll-ups, and cheetos!! Sunday , we had a great family lunch at mom's, then it was off to the TCU Easter Egg Hunt. The kids looked so cute, and had fun hunting eggs. However, they could not be persuaded to take pictures with the Easter Bunny or Super Frog. Oh, well. Lucy, looking around for some eggs Showing off his loot! My...

What's so great about living out in the country??

Well, you find things like this in your backyard: There are lots of fun things about living "out" here and having more than an acre of land to explore. We have roadrunners, roosters, chickens, lizards (apparently!), bonfires, and lots of fun. The kids were so intrigued. They have really developed a love for animals and outdoors A close up of our friend
