Memorial Day Weekend

Judy and Turner came into town to spend Memorial Day weekend with us! We had so much fun! We got to celebrate Nonie's birthday with her!
Have some fun at the pool!
And go for a visit to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glenrose, TX!
We got to see the animals pretty close up!
The highlight was feeding the giraffes out of our sunroof! Pretty cool!

The kids really enjoyed seeing the animals! But, they might have enjoyed being out of their carseats and being able to stand up in the moving car the most!

Lawson loved feeding the animals. And Hudson did when he could psych himself up to do it! He probably gets his love of animals from me....I was content to sit in the back of the van and safe gaurd my own filanges!

This trip was so fun...that I didn't want to mention that our AC went out about halfway through the day! Apparently, you can't run it on Max with the windows rolled down for hours on end in 95 degree heat! It was a toasty ride home...but it definately made the trip more memorable!

Hudson's Last T-Ball Game and Closing Ceremonies

Hud suited up and got ready to take off for his last T-Ball game! He has a new addition to his uniform...eye black! He specifically asked Robbie to take him to Academy Sports to buy eye black.
He got to play pitcher one last time...which was his favorite spot! He looks pretty good there!

He seemed to enjoy t-ball. Although I think basketball has been his favorite sport so far. Just so much more action! He was guilty of playing with the dirt from time to time to time when he was in the outfield. Just hard to stay in the game...when you don't get much action!

He was awesome in the duggout. Always busy either putting on or taking off his batting gloves and eating (which involved...chewing up....shells and all...then spitting out...)sunflower seeds!

Bless his heart...he tried to run fast...but that helmet, the cleats and sand made it hard for those little legs of his to power around!

Here he is getting his trophy...which has been what he has looked forward to all season long.

He has some great coaches who were really fun and committed to helping develop these little guys.

There isn't much cuter than Hudson in her little ball jersey! We had a lot of fun watching you play, Hudson! And we do love you! Photo done....BREAK!

Reading Bingo Award

We celebrated today Lawson receiving a Gold Medal Bingo Reading award at school. This program was sponsored by the library har her school. She read 120 books during the school year to earn this award! It taught her how to search for books by theme or subject in the library. Pretty neat! Way to go La!

Sweet Dreams

Mimi came into town to babsit the kids for the weekend while Rob and I went to interview at a church. I peeked in on their story time...and had to take a quick pic. So sweet!

Field Day 2011 at Eagle Ridge Elementary

Well, it ALMOST got completely rained out...but not quite! And I got to take off work and enjoy the festivities! Lawson's class dominated Tug O War! They took on several different first grade classes and won every time!
They were SO excited!
And I mean they were workin it! Check them out!

Then the sponge relay! Which was everyone's favorite! What's not to love about passing a soaking wet sponge over your head!

They were checking out their "wetness"! And they were pretty satisfied with their findings.

Makes me want to be in first grade again!

Then on to the tornado relay! She had to knock down the pins with the streamers on her belt...while spinning and getting extremely dizzy! Pretty funny to watch!

Cheering on her teamates during the sack race! The rain had begun...but it didn't stop the fun!

Balloon toss with her BFF, Taylor.

Thumder and lightening sent us inside for some board games!

Then a fierce competition of "shoe" relay with another first grade class in the hallway. First run down and put your shoe in the bucket!

Next round, run back...find your shoe...put it on....and run back!

It was a close finish...but La's class pulled it out!

A couple of other games got rained out! But, at least they got to play most of them!

Thanks to my mom for spending the day with Hudson so I could go spend the day with La!More pictures of their day to come! They had a blast too!
