Rodeo

Jessica and I took the kids to the Rodeo again this year. (Yes, it was in March but I had to share these pictures). They had so much fun seeing all the animals. Peyton and Avery got to participate in the stick horse rodeo. They were so cute!!

Peyton and Avery holding hands on the way in. Aren't they just precious?

Here they were last year. I can't believe how fast they grow up!

Hayley and Grace 2010

Here are the girls last year. Wow, what a difference!

Peyton did so good on his horse. He went around and around without anyone walking with him. A real cowboy!

They are growing up way to fast :(

This is the first animal that came to greet us. Hayley burst into tears. It was kinda funny.

Peyton giving hugs. He loves animals!

Hayley did not want to be put down with all of these animals. She is nothing like Peyton when it comes to animals. She likes them from far away. Peyton wants to be right there.

Hayley was so glad to be back in the stroller after the petting zoo.

Peyton with Elsie the cow. Hayley refused to get out of the stroller to take a look. She was a little freaked out of all the animals.

Kisses for Avery

The tractor was Hayley's favorite part.

Peyton taking a rest before the stick rodeo.

Hayley kicking back and resting. I wish I could do this and someone would push me around.


The kids getting ready for their Rodeo! They gave each kid a stick horse and they had to run it around the barrels. Peyton with his ribbon from the Rodeo. He was so proud!



Peyton thought this guy and the Mustang and Cow were so cool. Hayley wasn't so sure.

Playgroup Easter

We had our yearly egg hunt at one of our playgroup friend's. The kids had a blast eating lots of yummy food and hunting for eggs. It is amazing how big everyone has gotten. I love you Mamas!

I take care of one of my friends little boys on Wednesdays. His name is Michael and he is so cute! He came with us to our Easter party. He was really good at finding the eggs and picked up some for Hayley :)

Hayley liked carrying around her basket but wasn't really into finding all the eggs.

Sammy, Avery, and Peyton. (Their mouths full of candy).

Peyton, Sammy, and Kaitlin eating cookies :)

Hayley and her best bud Grace.

Mommy and Peyton. ( I think Peyton has candy in his mouth in every picture).

Mommy and Hayley. I love this little Mexican dress on her. Kelsey got it for her on their cruise in Mexico. Its precious!

The Dixie Chicken

We went to College Station to visit my cousins and Andrew and Lacy. It was great to get to visit A&M again. I miss it!! We got to eat lunch at The Chicken. It was so yummy!!! They have the best burgers and cheese fries. I got some pictures of the kids on the front porch of The Chicken. Unfortunatly, I didn't get any pictures of my cousins or Andrew and Lacy :(

Sea World

We spent Spring Break with my parents. The kids loved it!!! We started out the week at Sea World. This is one of Peyton's favorite places to go. He asks to go here all the time. We will have to try to go again sometime this summer. Hayley went last year but was to young to really enjoy it. She had a great time this year.
Peyton and a funny flamingo he found. He wanted a picture with him.

We took a break from seeing shows and animals and played in the water. Hayley thought it was way too cold. I thought she looked so cute in her little swim suit. I love it!!

Peyton didn't care about the cold. He was shivering but refused to get out.

Hayley tried out the water once and then didn't want to be put down for fear that the cold water would touch her again. Poor baby :(

Not okay with being put down for a picture!

This cup was one of their favorite things. They loved it! (and fought over it)

They had a Sesame Street show. Hayley loved it!! I was a little suprised because she doesn't watch T.V. but I guess she knows who Elmo is :)

Grandma and Hayley watching the show.

Peyton at the Shamu show. I think his favorite thing about this is the cotton candy!

Grandpa and Peyton in line for his first rollar coaster. The line was so long. I was proud that Peyton was able to wait that long.

You can see my Dad and Peyton in the middle. My Dad has a blue shirt on and his arm is around Peyton. Peyton loved it. We bought the picture that they took on the ride. I will post it later. He was smiling so BIG!

At the end of the day we got to take a picture with Shamu. Hayley was scared to death of him. She is not a fan of people in costumes. Peyton on the other hand was so excited to see him.

Dinosaur Park

Last week my parents came into town and we all took the kids to a dinosaur park in Cedar Creek. It was really fun and just great to be outside in this awesome weather. Here is a link if anyone is interested in visiting. http://www.thedinopark.com/


The kids had a blast and Peyton loved seeing all the dinosaurs. They also had a scavenger hunt where along the trail they had hidden things you had to find. It was a great family trip!!

Peyton and Hayley at the beginning of the trail. They thought this was hilarious!
Daddy and Hayley. She did not want to be carried but was a little slow on the trail.

Peyton and Hayley taking a water break :) They have been so cute lately. They are really starting to enjoy playing together.

Our attempt at a family photo (with the Triceratops in the background).

Peyton roaring with his favorite dinoosaur, the T-Rex!

After we left the park we went to the Domain for lunch and the kids enjoyed playing in the water and siting in the butterfly chairs.

Baby Number 3

It has been forever since I have posted so I want to apologize for lack of pictures and updates on our kiddos. I have been slacking.

As many of you know we are now expecting baby #3. I am 12 weeks pregnant and due September 16th. We are excited and I am starting to feel better and get more energy. I promise to take some pictures of Peyton and Hayley this next week and post them. They are both gettins o big. Next week is Peyton's spring break and my parents are coming into town and we are going to SeaWorld so we should have some good pics.

Please say some prayers for our growing family :)
