Bedtime Routines

Rodney puts Reid to bed most every night and apparently they have a little routine going.  Play for a few minutes, read a story, sing Old MacDonald and say prayers.  Apparently, I was interrupting this flow because I was told by my 4 yo that I could go downstairs if I needed to.  Sorry buddy.  Mommy just can't help herself.  I love having pictures of my boys!

Sweet Days

We've all had the crud at our house this week, so I haven't taken many pictures, but I was looking back at Easter pictures and these just made me smile.  Good days.  Good times.  Good memories.  Sweet brothers.

Happy hat day Friday!

TGIF!  It's Friday!  Thank the Lord for that and for cute little boys on a Friday morning that make me smile! We're ready for Daddy to be home and for pizza Friday... is it 5:00 yet?  :)

Sweet Dreams

Yesterday, I wasn't feeling so hot, and needed a nap.  I asked Reid if he wanted to lay in the bed with me and usually he doesn't want to, but yesterday he said yes.  Seriously.  MELT. MY. HEART.  Loved it.  He was fidgety for a bit, but then all of a sudden, I noticed he was completely still and fast asleep.  I couldn't help but take a picture of this sweet thing.  What is it about kids that makes them so precious when they are sleeping?  Love you Reid.  You are precious sleeping & awake. 

Spring at the Arboretum

On Thursday after we picked the boys up from MDO, we decided it would be a nice day to head to the Dallas Arboretum.  Rodney had just surprised me with a new lens for my camera and I couldn't wait to use it!  I need a little practice, but it was fun to try & get some fun shots.  The flowers were not as pretty as some I've seen in the past, but it was still a lovely day with beautiful weather and the boys loved running around!  

This is real life when I want a family picture of us... good times.  :)

I told Riley to smell the flowers and he took a big 'ole whiff!

I guess it's time to go home!  We were all pooped, but it was fun and nice to have a spring trip to the arboretum with a little help from Daddy!  Thank you Daddy for spending your vacation week with us!  We had a ball! 

Easter Sunday 2012

 

 Happy Easter Sunday!

Jesus is risen and we celebrate the life He has given us. 

Oh Happy Day!

LegoLand

Rodney is on vacation this week between ending his job in Denton and starting his new job just minutes from our home!  Yay for that!!!  We have had a low key week starting it off. Daddy caught the stomach bug that went around our house this weekend and the most horrid storms & tornadoes of 2012 hit DFW yesterday!  Whew!  That was a scary day!  We went to pick up the boys at MDO yesterday and were on lock down in the choir room for about an hour.  I'm kind of glad we were because we couldn't hear any hail or tornado sirens.  They said there was rotation right over the building we were sitting in.  Crazy!  We survived and all is well!  Praise the Lord!

Today we started the week off right by taking the boys to LegoLand at Grapevine Mills.  We had never been before and I'm glad we got to go as a family!  What a fun place! 

About to enter the Legoland fun factory and help Professor Brick-a-Brack create a lego brick in his factory!

The Legoland factory... they showed us a version of how they make legos.  Pretty cool stuff!

Riding the kingdom quest ride and battling the evil skeletons & giant trolls.... ha ha!  Not really, but it was fun pretending with the little laser guns!

Jerry World-- made completely out of legos!!

And the Dallas skyline

Howdy Folks!  Welcome to the State Fair!

A lego rendition of Dirk Nowitzki!

Daddy & Reid on Merlin's apprentice -- I promise Reid is not scared! He said it was his favorite part of Legoland!

We had a fun morning together and we're looking forward to some more fun activities to wrap up the week!  LOVE it when Daddy is on vacation!  We're having a ball!
