Let's go fly a kite!

Are you singing the song, yet???

We ended our spring break flying our kite! 

Hunter had been wanting to fly a kite ever since he saw Mary Poppins for the first time.  He was super excited!

And where better to fly a kite... at Coach and Honey's where there is always wind (sometimes to much) and not many trees.

Daddy took a turn while Maggie and Hunter picnic outside with Honey.

This is how Hunter preferred to fly his kite! :)

It was a good kite... the wind got it on the next day.  :(

Sleepy Girl :)

I didn't think we had such a busy morning this morning, but...

Mags was pooped! :)

We didn't do that much really... played in the house, went to the post office, went to the park, and then to Target for some diapers.  When I got her out of the car I thought she was going to stay awake, but she walked to this mat and was out!

Happy 17 months Maggie Moe! :)

Spring Break 2011: Day 4

Happy Saint Patricks Day!!

So we don't really celebrate Saint Patty's day (I mean what are you really supposed to do on St. Patty's Day anyway?)... but we do wear green! :)  

Hunter liked his t-shirt.  He kept saying, "Kiss me!  I'm Irish!"

Here's Maggie!  Her shirt was sparkly.  It was cuter than Hunter's, but only because it had glitter.  She was playing peek-a-boo with me during this picture. 

"Oh, do you want to see my bow?"

It was super easy to make, by the way! :)

I loved their shirts and I am totally sold on Freezer paper!  I will post about how I made them soon.  So easy and fun!!! :)

Now on to the Ft. Worth Zoo!!!

So we got up and headed to Ft. Worth this morning.  It was such a pretty day and I think everyone decided to go to the zoo today. But we had a great time anyway! 

Okay here is Hunter sitting in the window looking at this guy...

Then all of sudden this little fellow banged on the window!!!  Everyone screamed and Hunter came running to me crying.  :( Hahaha Now this is one trip he won't forget. :)

Next time we hope this guy is sitting next to the window.  He didn't do anything!!

This is how we ride when we need a snack and don't feel like smiling. :)

My 2 guys in front of the elephants.  I wish I was a little taller so you could see more of the elephant and less of the grass... oh well! :)

Maggie had to climb up on the fence like her Bubba and look at this guy...

I think Ben said it was an African Rhino. 

This is my favorite picture!!!  The are both looking at the rhino. :) Love it!

And we did see the penguins!  Maggie was talking to this little one! 

I just love penguins!  They used to have them at the North Park Mall during Christmas.  I wish they would bring them back!  

And here we are on the walk to the car after a great day at the zoo!  

We had such a great time, but I do have to say after going here...

nothing can compare!  The Animal Kingdom is amazing!!! 

I can't believe it is already Thursday... this week is flying! 

Spring Break 2011: Day 2

Why the Hollywood sign, you might ask?  Because Hunter, Maggie and Logan shot a commercial yesterday.  They might just be famous one day! :)  Haha  

Really, Ben's work needed some kids for the...

commercial and we got the call! :)  I thought they only needed Maggie and Logan, but they taped Hunter, too!  He was wearing his Longhorn jersey.  I would have dressed him better had I known!  oh well! :)  He would have picked the Colt McCoy jersey anyway.  

What else did we do yesterday... well Honey is here so the kids played and played!  I also made them their Saint Patty's Day t-shirts.  I will post them soon!

Today we are packing for 

really Lindsay and then tomorrow we are off to 

I'll post more soon!  Can you tell we didn't take many pictures for the kids yesterday?? :)

Spring Break 2011: Day 1

This weekend Uncle David, Dog (David's dog) Brooke and Dots (Brooke's cat) came for a visit.  Hunter had been counting down the days to see Uncle David all week!  We had a great time!  Hunter loves dog.   He had fun playing with him!  

We let Hunter watch Davy Crockett!  I grew up watching this movie with my friend, Justin.  Hunter was a little scared during the Indian parts, but he loves it!  I forgot how violent this movie was, but we have talked about it.  Now he sings the song ALL the time!  Today he was Davy! :)

Now you can understand what he was wearing today...

It started off really cold here in Abilene, but by the afternoon we were able to play outside! 

We played a little t-ball! 

Way to go Hunter!!

Maggie watched in her swing!  She was saying "weee"! 

Then she decided she needed to play a little t-ball, too!  

Does anyone want this ball??

Ben even played a little pecan ball. 

We had a great afternoon playing outside!  Thank you Lord for spring!!!  

Howdy Partner!

Today was Western Day at school!  Yeehaa!  Hunter was so excited as soon as he got up he HAD to put on his cowboy clothes.  This is a big deal because normally he has to sit watch tv and eat breakfast and then maybe he is ready to get dressed.  Let's just say he's not a morning person. (like his Momma!) But this morning he was ready for school.  

I was so excited this morning because it worked out perfectly!  You see the HSU 6 White Horses were there and it worked out so that I could see both Maggie and Hunter ride!  Yay! 

My class was the first class to ride followed by Maggie's class...

So I got to ride with Maggie!!!  Yay!  

Maggie liked the horse!  She did really well!  She was wearing jeans and a little western shirt with a bandana.  So sweet!  I was going to have her wear her HSU purple dress but it was to cold this morning. 

She really liked petting the horse!  

Then I got stuck riding the horse for a little bit.  I got to ride with a couple of Maggie's friends who couldn't ride alone. :) It was fun! 

Hunter's class came out to ride the horses during my class's music time... Perfect!! 

My little cowboy!  He had to wear his Red River vest and hat with his HSU t-shirt.  He did have on his holsters, but it was hard to sit in them so they came off on the way to school. 

Waiting with his friends... they all had a bubble in their mouth.  I had to convince Hunter it was okay to let his bubble pop while riding the horse.  :)

Ready to ride!

Off into the sunset beautiful sunshine!

He told me tonight that he was a little afraid that he might fall off.

Ride 'em Cowboy!

He loves the 6 white horses!

We had a great day!!! 

Ohh but here is what was hanging in the hall this morning...

Watch out!!! 

And here is the Octopus Gang!  (my 2 year old class) Aren't they cute!! :)

By the way it is officially SpRiNg BrEaK at the Jennings house! :)
