Hanging Out and Having Fun...

Like I said, we didn't have any plans this week except to relax and have fun. We went swimming a bunch, went to the park, watched movies and napped!!!



Payton decided she wanted to really annoy her sister right after Presley woke up from her nap. She was tickling her and spanking her on her bottom...basically driving her crazy. Can you tell by the look on her face?

Spring Break 2009

One of the many blessings of working at a school is the time off you get through out the year. Spring Break is here...Yeah!!!!

BeBe, PawPaw (Bj and Lloyd) and Corbin drove down to visit on Saturday. Saturday night we had dinner with the Jennings Family. John and Judy Jennings live in Wimberley and Carter Jennnings lives in Bastrop so we met in the middle at the Nutty Brown Cafe. Carter and Ashly have been best friends since junior high. The kids love the Nutty Brown Cafe because there is a talking parrot named Cheeto! They definitely get a kick out of Cheeto mocking how they laughed! I would have loved to show you pictures but I keep forgetting to take my camera...great mom, huh!

Sunday night Ashly and I went to the famous South By Southwest Music and Film Festival in downtown Austin. Lets just say there are some very interesting people in Austin! We had a good time though.

Monday we took the kiddos to the IMAX theater downtown and saw "Under the Sea 3-D" show. It was awesome! Once again, I forgot my camera..I know, I know! During the whole show you could see a bunch of little hands all over the theater trying to grab the fish on the big screen. It felt like we were right there in the ocean swimming with them. The best part was when Payton was standing up trying to grab a fish and the fish snapped it's jaws trying to eat another little fish and she jumped back so fast and sat back down in her chair. It was so funny, I thought BJ and I were going to pee in our pants.

BeBe, PawPaw and Corbin went home this morning. We were sad to see them go! We are looking forward to a relaxing week with no big plans and BEAUTIFUL weather! Until next time...
