Spring Break - Texas Style

Spring Break, Spring Forward and springing out of a crib.....what a big week!

Our Spring Break started Thursday evening when Kevin and I headed out to Ft. Worth to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Four Day Weekend with their big show at Bass Performance Hall. We had a great time and, of course, lots of laughs!

On Friday night we met friends at Mariano's for dinner. 
At first Hayden was like:

Then, after we waited forever, she was all like:

On Saturday morning Hayden and I headed to Little Lakewood Salon for Celine's Unicorn birthday!
It was adorable!

and so is she :) 
Unicorn piƱata, headband and stuffed animal. #winning

We made it to Houston Sunday afternoon - the weather was more winter break than spring break. Luckily by Monday afternoon it was warm enough to play in the pool!

On Tuesday we headed to the Rodeo!

I love these hats they picked out! 
Hayden wasn't in the mood for a hat...maybe next year.

Just a quick pic with #theAstrodome. 


Tuesday night we headed out to my friend MK's house. 
Sweet Caroline riding around with Hayden. 

Wednesday morning we headed down to Galveston to meet up with friends.
It was COLD.
The kids didn't really care all that much. 


Love this lady!

We lasted about 45minutes. Then it took us the same amount of time to get the kids rinsed off and changed. #thatwasfun

We grabbed dinner before heading back to Houston.


These two decided to have their breakfast on the patio...I'm not sure why they are so serious.
We were suppose to meet up with the Birds and Morgans but there were some sick kiddos so we headed back to Katy instead. 

Grayson was dying to go fishing...I told my parents that on our drive back and by the time we arrived Papu had rigged up some fishing poles with magnets and had metal objects in the bottom of the pool for the kiddos to 'fish' out! They loved it! Kevin flew in Thursday night and was able to spend the rest of the weekend with us. 

On Friday, Yiayia made some yummy pancakes and topped them with special green sprinkles for St. Patricks day!



Two trips to Lupe's...not bad!


The mariachi band was a hit...until they got close...and then my kids froze. 

Saturday morning we headed to Davis's 2nd birthday party

Little lady was pleased as punch to have snacks with this sweet little dinosaur...

And not so thrilled when this large dinosaur came out. All of the two year olds were terrified!


Sweet baby girl giving kisses to daddy!

Hotdogs with Kate!

Sweet Davis turns two!


Grayson, Pierson and Thompson!
Love these cute boys!

Ryan came up with a game for all of the kids -  they were so excited to play. Here they all are patiently waiting...

Love this sweet girl!

We headed home on Sunday and we turned Hayden's crib into a toddler bed!
She was a huge fan!
It happened a little faster than I had anticipated, but she was totally ready. The last two nights at my parents house she insisted on sleeping on a cot instead of her pack n' play. And she never once got up after we put her down. Since she has already given up her naps it wasn't a huge deal to move her out of a cage crib. I love how happy and proud she is when she goes to her bed at night AND it's pretty exciting to have one less thing to pack when we travel! woot woot!

Houston

This past weekend we headed down to Houston to see family AND to surprise MK for her 30th birthday! Kevin took Friday off so that we could drive down Thursday evening. We were hoping that driving at night would be better for the bug (and for us). It worked out well - he watched one little 30 minute show then was out for the rest of the ride. He woke up when we arrived to say hello to everyone and then went back down easily. Success!

The biggest news from the weekend was that Ryan started WALKING! I has a feeling that he was going to - he always seems to hit milestones when he is at Yia yia and Papu's house. Here is a link to the video I took! Ryan Walking

We had a great weekend hanging with everyone (Claire came in town too)! We took Ryan to the park a couple of times and he LOVED it! Here is a video from him sliding down a slide.

Saturday night we met friends for dinner at a place called El Gran Malo. After dinner we headed to a bar called Prohibition for MK's surprise party. It was so much fun hanging out with everyone! Here are a couple pictures we took before we left the house.



 We didn't head back to Dallas until Sunday evening (since it works so much better for Ryan) but it was much harder for us to drive back after a night out! We were both so tired but we made it! Here are a few pictures from Ryan swimming on Sunday.



Ryan LOVES Macy! They are so cute together. 

I have more pictures on my iphone that I will have to add to this post!
