A VERY busy weekend

What a weekend! Saturday was crazy and soo much fun!! Our community had its annual Easter Party. We were able to go egg hunting, meet the Easter Bunny, go to a petting zoo, jump in the bounce houses, and visit the balloon guy! Following the community party, the school had its carnival. We stayed all night and had a total blast!!! I love Texas in the spring! You can do everything outside! Such a great time!!
My sweet babies with the Easter Bunny...Claire isn't sure about this!

Amelia loved holding all the animals at the petting zoo

The balloon guy would only do a bunny or a bunny hat...Amelia and Ethan wanted swords!

Sweet sisters loving their freshly painted cheeks!

Cute Claire

Who didn't want to try this at the mall at one time or another?? All three of my kids, in true former cheerleader style, were doing backflips simultaneously!!!!

Racers Start Your Engines!!

So my child is old enough to be in Cub Scouts....how is this possible....first a baptism, then Scouting! Craziness...I'm seriously getting old! Anyway, with Cub Scouts comes the, da da da daaa...PINE WOOD DERBY! I am soooo not a car person...I've never been. Especially when the "car" starts as a block of wood. So creating the car was completely in Wally and Ethan's hands. They carved and sanded, painted and glued. And finally "The Blue Bolt" was ready for racing! There were about 15 boys and my child seriously got 1st place in his wolf den and 2nd place overall!!!!! How is this possible?? I can't even believe it!! My kid is awesome! I was so proud of him! Congratulaions EC!!

Welcome back!!

So I can't believe I'm actually doing this, but....I am updating my blog!! It has been such a long time that I didn't even remember how to "update" a blog. My profile was so outdated! It said that I had 3 kids and was married 8 years...it has been a llloonnnngg time, too long! Since my family is all out of state, and one my besties has recently moved to Argentina, I have decided to give this blogging thing another try. Since we last spoke, we have moved and had another baby...she is almost 10 months old! Things are good!!! My Wally is still at Halff Associates and I'm still at home with kiddos!
Ethan and Lauren are excelling at school. They attend Glen Oaks Elementary. Ethan recently had a presentation at school where he had a choice of several different historical figures. He REALLY wanted to be Davy Crockett, but he was already taken, so by default he chose Theodore Roosevelt. It was called a living museum and 2nd graders researched their figure, memorized a speech and dressed up as the character. All the kids set up in the cafeteria and parents, students, ECT walked around and learned about these prominent figures. It was really cute!!
Here he is as Mr. President

And here he is with his constituents!
