We finally added a much needed swing set to our back yard … The girls love it ! It has become the evening activity … almost every night …
Thank you Boots and Banty for helping with this ! We couldn't have done it without you ! And thanks to Todd’s friend Pete who helped put it together … NOT an easy job :)
For the first time in over 3 1/2 years … Mommy and Daddy went on a vacation … just the two of us ! Todd surprised me with the trip for my 30th birthday… It was awesome … we went on a cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica …
Two huge Royal Caribbean cruise ships .. the one on the right was ours …
Beautiful Tiki Bar in Grand Cayman where we had lunch …
Rock climbing with our dinner buddies … Each night we had dinner with Don, Loan, Tara and Micah … they were so much fun ! And can you believe that one couple is actually from Temple ….
A little ice cream break …
Can somebody please tell me how to open this thing ??? :)
Silly girl … before we left, Buddy had surgery on his eye, this is what is left of the hood/cone thing he had to wear …
Really checking out her new toy that Boots and Ellie got for her …
Making homemade pizza !
Playing her new Cootie game …
While we were gone it was randomly Grandparents week at Ellie’s school ! Perfect timing ! Grandparents get to come to the classroom and do an activity with the class …
Banty read a book to the kids …
And Boots did a fun art activity … he let the kids pick different parts of different animals to put together one really fun animal …
Towards the end, apparently one of the kids thought it needed a cowboy like Boots :) Ellie had such a fun and special day at school with her Boots and Banty !
We are so Thankful for Boots and Banty ! It was so hard being away from our girls ! But I know they had a wonderful time ! So grateful for the time I had with my husband and for the time the girls had with my parents !! More coming about Mommy and Daddy’s trip coming soon !
I think she was most excited because Daddy was able to come for a little while !
Thanks Boots and Banty for the new western shirt !
Ellie has wanted to play in snow for a while now … kinda hard to do in San Antonio … but one February morning, we had just enough for Ellie to have lots of fun :) … and believe me it wasn’t much … but our sweet girl was happy … It only took a little …
