Park and Houdini

Spring break had us working on Matthew's scouting. We had to visit a historical spot and there was a marker we drove by all the time on 2978 near Carraway Road, which led us to the first school here in Magnolia/Tomball area. 

The kids had to play on the playground of course! You can see the school in the background - it has obviously been fixed up quite nicely! 

Everyone's getting dizzy 

Matthew riding the middle 

 Teeter tottering fun!

 

Balanced 

 Rebecca gets adventurous!

 These two are pretty cute

 They had fun climbing the big tree

After the park, we headed to Costco for groceries. We love our Costco because they have police horseriders! 

Today we met Houdini (the horse) and got to feed him some snacks! I love this picture because Matthew freaked out when Houdini nudged him for some more goodies!

Such a Teenager!

Katie turned 13 today! 

 Opening presents

 For her birthday, Katie invited her friend Taylor to see the movie Cinderella

  Getting their kicks!

 Emily and I joined the moviegoers - we sat back a few rows from Katie and Taylor to give them their space and not embarrass them too much!

I asked them to pose for a few pictures after the movie and these are what I got! 

Cute girls! 

Happy birthday Katie! I cannot believe I have a teenager all ready! Hopefully these years will be good to the both of us! Love these girls!!!
 
 We ended the night with cake and ice cream of course!

There's a lot of fire on that cake now!

Blowing out the candles.

Happy birthday sweet Katie!!!

Water Break

 This is how we spend our days at church. Jacob has discovered the fountain and will not leave it alone!

 And he is always soaking wet when we go home

  

This little boy just has a blast! It's fun to watch, but I sure do miss Sacrament Meeting!

Emily's 11th Birthday

We brought Emily McDonald's for her birthday lunch at school.

 Emily got to open presents before we headed out for fun!

I think she liked them! 

Clue was definitely a big hit! 

 We headed out to ITZ Pizza - it was so packed on this Saturday night!

Bex found her favorite ride!

 Emily made it to the top of the rock wall

  Matthew was cruising up too! We had such a good time playing all the games and riding a few rides at ITZ Pizza!

 When we got home, it was time for cake!

 Eleven candles

Blowing the candles out! This is Emily's last year of primary and I cannot believe how much she has grown! Love my Emily to pieces!!!

Best Park Day Ever!!!

 We made it to Burrough's Park to play this morning. We will definitely come back because this park is huge!

Great hang time!

Of course Bex had to push Jacob on the swing

 Rebecca decided to take off and chase the white ducks out towards the lake!

 My favorite little sidekick!

Sitting on the camel's head - the highest spot to climb!

These kiddos are pure fun to watch! I enjoy all the time we spend together!
