We have had such a gorgeous spring here in TX. Really our only cold weather was in Jan and the first week of Feb.....other than that it's been 70 or 80 degrees pretty much.....I do miss having regular four seasons here but I have to admit I LOVE being able to have a great tan before April! :-)
We enjoyed another great soccer season! The boys continue to LOVE playing and have become very good! They still play on the same team and Dan is enjoying being their coach!

Bella originally had said she didn't want to play again this season, but of course after the boys first game she said she wished she could still play. We lucked out that some of the girls from her previous season were on a new team this season that ended up needing a new player....so this season Bella was a Runnin' Horn. Her first opinion of the name was "that's not very girly, Mom!", but we were blessed with a great group of girls and a very nice, patient coach! So, she enjoyed being a Runnin' horn after all...even though it wasn't such a girly name! :-) She just had her end of the season pasrty and got her trophy! (We haven't had the boys yet!)
I got to go on the boys field trip with our MDO to the zoo and we had such a fun time....great weather and we got to see so many animals up close. Of course their favorites were the reptile house (UGHH!) and the giraffes!

We walked a LOT! So much so, that this is what I found these boys doing towards the end of our visit!
This was also a big season for Dan! He ran his very first 1/2 marathon....only my husband would decide a week and a half before the race to run it! He had literally no training other than the fact that he had been trying to run 3 or so miles a couple times a week for a few weeks prior to the race. Then he won a contest on the radio that gave him a paid registration for the 1/2 marathon....so he just HAD to do it. I will admit I was nervous that he was making a huge mistake, I mean people train months for these things, right? I should have know better because when Dan decides to do something he does it.....no matter what! He crossed the finish line in 2 hours and 38 min.......who can run a 1/2 marathon with no preparation and finish in a great time too?? My husband ROCKS!!!

Other fun things we had were the Daddy Daughter Picnic at Bella's school....

We had the Mother-Daughter Tea and Bella was in a program during it! Unfortunately, I didn't get any video of it but she got up there and danced and sang her heart out....would you expect any less???

I love doing fun stuff like this with my sweet girl! She's growing up too fast! :(
Will and Carter had Career day at their MDO and they had to dress up as what they want to be when they grow up~

They looked so incredibly cute! We've just put their beds into bunkbeds in their bedroom and they think it's the most exciting thing ever. They are excited to go to bed every night, which makes bedtimes soooo much easier!! :-) Will sleeps on the bottom and he said "I love my bed! It's cozy and in the shave!" which translates to "in the shade" meaning it's not as bright on the bottom bunk!
