Preschool Graduation

 I can't believe it's the end of the year. Claire's preschool had the cutest graduation photos and ceremony. I am a mess just thinking about her being gone next year to kindergarten. She's beyond thrilled, but I'm going to miss her so, so much. She's had an incredible year with awesome teachers and made a lot of new friends. We're proud of you Claire!

Happy Easter!

 We had a wonderful Easter week. We had egg hunts with church and preschool - and then Claire made us hide and find eggs about 20 more times. She absolutely LOVES hunting for eggs. (In fact on Easter morning, she threw her basket aside and said LET'S FIND EGGS!) She's so fun. 

We dyed eggs, did our confetti eggs, and just had a fun family week with beautiful weather. Springtime this year has been good to us. Oh - we saw the Easter bunny on a walk through our neighborhood! It was so fun. Claire was so excited. We also took some family pictures the week before.

 We had a great week together as a family and are so grateful for each other and for all the blessings we have. Hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday!

Spring Break

 Spring break seemed way too short! We were so grateful Karen's parents could come visit. After 2 years, the rodeo is finally back and it was so fun. We go to see Claire have an epic ride in the muttin buston at the rodeo (which is sheep riding for 5 and 6 year olds). We're so glad she got a chance to do it, since all our kids have done it. And she held on tight and did a great job. We ate some incredible food there too - we had bbq and burgers, but the fried chocolate strawberry waffle balls were the favorite! 

We also visited a few local parks in the great weather, and the Art museum where the kids were good sports while Grandpa wanted to read every... single.... plaque. We got to seine in the bayou which I think was Claire's favorite activity - getting to hold fish and count them and then throw them back is such fun for her. We also visited Brazos Bend, which is a famous alligator park here. And even though that day it was pretty chilly, we still got to see some gators. And a owl! We had a blast. We love spending time together and it's even more fun if family can be here with us. Only 9 more weeks until summer vacation! We can't wait!!!
