Brooke and the Rainbow Unicorn!

For Brooke's 6th birthday party, she wanted a REAL horse! "Unicorns are real, aren't they mom?" is what she asked me on the morning of her birthday! We definitely had to be flexible with her party this year! We woke up the morning of her scheduled party to 6 inches of SNOW (on the first day of Spring, I might add!). Walmart called at 8am and said their designer couldn't make it to work, so there was no one to make her cake. And there was the obvious question, can a Rainbow Unicorn (and 6 year old girls) handle rides in the snow??? Thankfully, we were able to postpone her party for 2 days, and we ended up with a sunny and 70 degree day! Yeah! Brooke was in HEAVEN! She had a blast!

San Antonio - Spring Break 2010

After not taking a vacation in quite a while, we were all very excited to go somewhere! (just wish we could have gotten there some way OTHER than I-35!) We had a blast at Sea World! They cancelled our 'Dinner with Shamu'...taking precautions after the incident in Orlando, but instead, we got did a 'Dolphin Encounter' where we got to get up close and personal with the dolphins. The kids LOVED it!

Can you see Brooke? She said she loved the ride, but I think she was a bit scared too!

After waiting almost an hour and a half, Bryce and I had a blast riding the log ride...a very chilly log ride!
We loved seeing "Shampoo" as he is kindly called in our house. Bryce called him that when he was 2, and it just kind of stuck! The trainers were very cautious in the shows; they didn't get in the water with the whales. It was still amazing to see the killer whales...and especially Baby Shamu, who just followed his mom around while she did tricks! Very cute!


Can you find Brad?

Remember the Alamo!

SNOW DAY!

We're a little snowed in and a very consumed with Rhea Lana's season at our house!

Another visit from the tooth fairy!

Brooke lost her first tooth...on her own! She is so proud to have another hole in her mouth. She finally decided to be brave and let Daddy "pull" it out (I don't even think it was attached in any way shape or form!)

Cowboys vs. Eagles

Brad and Bryce got to make their first trip to Cowboys Stadium last Sunday to watch the Cowboys BEAT the Eagles!!! They had an awesome time! The original plan was for all four of us to go, and then the plan was for just Brad and I to go since we ended up with 2 tickets (and b/c it was our anniversary!) :) But, it gave me much MORE JOY to let Bryce go in my place. He drew pictures of the field throughout church drawing all the players and the scoreboard with the Cowboys winning, of course...and that was before we even told him he was going!!! Once we got home from church, I asked him what time the game started, and then, handed him the tickets to see if he could figure it out! He was PUMPED!!! Brooke and I enjoyed a fun girls afternoon, and Brad and I will be celebrating our anniversary this coming weekend!

Sock Hop

Brooke was up early and SO excited to finally wear her poodle skirt today for the Sock Hop at school! She looked so cute in her blinged out poodle skirt! Bryce was too cool to participate. I couldn't even get him to wear a white T-shirt! But as I was dropping him off at school and he saw everyone else dressed up, he did say it was ok if I brought him a white T-shirt to wear with his jeans.

STATE CHAMPS!!!

WOW, what a week we had at the state championship tournament in big Sulphur Springs, TX last week! Bryce's team went undefeated, winning the tournament and moving on to the National tournament in Louisiana this weekend! Here's a few highlight pics...
