Spring Break Camping

Over Spring Break last week our ward had a little campout up at Lake Livingston. There were about 19 families and it was a total blast. The kids played, rode bikes, fished and got totally dirty. After the kids got to sleep the adults stayed up talking and laughing around the campfire. It was such a fun family trip, we are planning another campout at the end of April.


























































































Ladybugs

The girls have been obsessed with catching ladybugs, as soon as Lynlee gets home from school they are in the back yard collecting them. They made a little "ladybug playground" for them and then decided they wanted them as pets (is it just me or do they look really grown up in this picture?)
All the bugs enjoying their playground outside!

We got a Tupperware out to keep them in and Regan put the lid on without making sure all the ladybugs were in. We had some causalities, sorry ladybugs, you need to find a new yard to live in!

Say It Isn't So

It actually pains me to say this but, my little McKenna is not a baby anymore, she is in full on toddle mode. Her she is climbing up the slide and back down all on her own!! So sad, guess it's almost time for another baby.............kidding!!

Rodeo Time

Its the kick-off to rodeo season in Texas!! We saddled up our horses, grabbed our boots and cowboy hats and headed to the Katy rodeo. Family favorites, mutton bustin', calf scramble, and of course the bulls, and boy were they grumpy. I feel horrible every time one of those young cowboys gets hurt but I'm secretly just waiting to see one of them get trampled.
The girls did the stick horse race, with their home-made an hour before stick horses(There is a million uses for old socks). Showing off their ribbons.




The amazing race, Lynlee wants to try the mutton bustin' next year, so we'll have to get so practice riding the dog or something.
