Dance Hall USA

So tonight we just pumped the music up (country of course - sorry honey) and just moved to the beat! We had a blast. Jacoby loved going in a circle with the girls or else moving to his own rhythm. Seriously, you don't even need music to get the girls up and moving around so you know they loved it! Even Mom got into it breaking out some oldie but goodie moves like the lawnmower, and some 70's John Travolta stuff...the kiddos laughed so hard - they could not believe that we danced like that - don't worry I taught the kids all of the moves so they too will dance like that :) What a blessed day and night! We needed to laugh this hard.

Making a Come Back....

Decorating our apples....gosh I should have made apple pie to go with the decorating - silly Momma!

Daddy got tackled in our game of Ant, Ant, Alligator....sorry Dad you are out!

Kaitlyn showing us how she is acting like a snake in her upcoming play....I don't know if I would be afraid of this snake or want to cuddle with it like crazy:)

Addison is acting like the Wombat...not sure what that is but we will find out in a couple of weeks as that is what her play is about.

So Family Fun Nights have officially been restored at our house. Thank goodness as I think we all have been missing them. We kicked off the celebration with a night dedicated to the "Letter A." Jacoby had a big day today as it was 70 degrees here and we spent the day outside walking and exploring so he hit the hay a little earlier than normal tonight - he takes after the girls though as he loves to be outside....he giggled almost the entire afternoon. Okay back to the Family Fun Night, we acted out some plays or stories that we all knew, we played "Ant, Ant, Alligator" (a new version of Duck, Duck, Goose - its sweeping the nation :), then we decorated apples which the kiddos cut out for everyone. It was a fun night....stayed tuned for more exciting adventures!

I want to RETIRE!!!

Grandma and Grandpa H. stopped through for a couple days on their last and final journey to Austin. They are officially retired (for now)! I am so excited for them...okay and a little jealous of all the fun they will be having, but mostly just thrilled!

Thanks for all your help guys while you were here - who knows when some of that household stuff would have been completed with everything we have going on. I truly appreciate you being here.

Let's see what did we all do: Science Museum, school, park, grocery shop, cook, jello pie (the crowd favorite) and who can leave out nightly shows and board games! What fun - looking forward to getting together more often.

What a Great R&R Weekend!

Awe, the whole gang....

Get it? R & R....Rest and Relax, Ryan and Renee....gosh sometimes I crack myself up - even if no one else laughs with me :) Seriously though, we just had a really nice visit from Uncle Ryan and Aunt Renee. We hung out at the house and cooked, we went to the Science Museum, we played tons of games and ran around the house like crazy. The kids just adored having you guys here. Brent and I loved talking and hearing about all that you guys have going on...it is so fun to catch up! Thanks guys for coming all this way - we love you!
