Saturday Projects

A Saturday with no plans means we finally crossed a couple of projects off our To Do list. Greyson helped Blake move the fire pit closer to our back porch and we finally added some decorations to Greyson's bedroom. The dino tracks didn't stick to the wall, so I took off what didn't already fall down, but his new dinosaur room looks pretty good!

The DoSeum

When our plans to visit the Lutz family in D'Hanis and watch Lilly and Hallie's basketball games got cancelled, we took a detour in San Antonio to run a few errands, have a family lunch date at Alamo Cafe and go to The DoSeum children's museum. It was unfortunate that Hallie and Caitlin were sick, but we had a fun impromptu family day.

Driving "Nannie's car"! LOL

Ice Day Snapshots

After the surprise snow we received last month, we had another "Winter Weather Day" last week. With icy conditions predicted, the local schools cancelled classes in advance and Blake's and my offices also decided to close for the day. Much of New Braunfels and San Antonio were shut down. We spent the day in our pajamas, playing games, building train tracks, coloring... and just about every other indoor activity we could think of. The lowest temperature we got to was 19 with a windchill of 8. Brrrrrrr!

Bossy Little Sister

This video is from mid-October, but Blake and I came across it the other day on his phone and could not stop laughing. They like to play a game of "covering each other up for naptime". We watched it a few times until I had tears rolling down my cheeks. Listen to Greyson sweetly saying, "Lay down, Addie Sue". She isn't quite as gentle and yells "DOWN!!" and Greyson immediately drops to the floor and curls into the fetal position. I can't wait to show this one to them in ten years!

Happy Birthday Blake!

Blake turned 34 on January 10. He spent his birthday as any rock star dad would - at home taking care of a sick kiddo. Addison must have a crazy idea of birthday fun since I stayed home with her when she was sick on my birthday last year and she was sick on her first birthday. I took the kids to the doctor the next day and they both tested positive for Flu B (yes, they did have flu shots). Blake stayed home with them again on Friday, and we had to cancel our date night (I bought Blake tickets to see the San Antonio Rampage minor league hockey team). It was a rough week and probably wasn't the most enjoyable birthday, but at least there was still birthday brownies with sprinkles to celebrate and everyone was better by the weekend.

Cheetos make everything better!

Day at the Ranch

The first weekend after all the holiday events had passed, we headed out to the ranch to hunt and to see my my sister and her family. We hadn't seen Baby Jake for several weeks so we were excited to see how much he has grown. We filled the feeders and drove around the ranch... the kids think it's the coolest to drive and not be in their car seats! Blake and Greyson hunted Saturday afternoon, and although there wasn't much to see, Greyson helped Blake "get a big buck!" When I asked Greyson about Daddy shooting a deer, he responded, "Ya, and he didn't even miss!" ;)

There was obviously a little bit of jealousy going on between Addie and Jake.

Greyson helped Daddy call in the big one!
