Spring Break '09

phew! busy week, and I'm sad it's over, and after the fabulous weather and day in the pool we had yesterday, definitely ready for summer!!
I always love spring break... we never take a trip anywhere really, because this is such a busy time of year, but it's a great week to see family and friends, and do local fun stuff, a couple of rodeo nights... We started out the week getting new furniture for the living room (finally!).... we hang onto pretty much everything we buy, and our living room furniture was no exception- the couches we had bought before Cameron was born, and the coffee table a couple of years after.... I was totally over the couches, and the coffee table just didn't fit with the new stuff. And Brent hasn't wanted a coffee table ever since we got the wii, and we all know you should really plan your living room around wii-ness....

anyways, Monday was spent meeting up with Adrienne to celebrate her big 2-0... totally forgot pics.

Tuesday was spent with friends-- at friends houses, friends over for dinner.... still no pics.

Wednesday we headed to Galveston, and I finally remembered to bust out the camera- wanted to check everything out since the hurricane (looking good overall!) and had lunch at Rainforest, and finally rode the ride- the kids loved it! Then we met up with family for some beachiness... if you can call it that. Galveston is after all a big mud puddle. But the kids loved it... and they loved seeing everyone! Jorja came home with us for the night, and the kids absolutely loved having her- she's a toot- reminds me of Meggo- fearless (which explains the face rash the first hour we were home, but yeah, we deduct cool Aunt points for that one).



Thursday was spent playing with Jorja, having some friends over, and a girl's night for me...


Friday Brent took the day off (yay!) and we took off with some friends for lunch at Ichibon, which is always a kid hit, and then the day at NASA space center. The kids had a good time, but omg the place was packed. Shocked? I think not.


Saturday Gramma came over for the day- the kids got to go with her to the park and for ice cream, and Cam had a friend stay the night. By 12:30 we made the boys turn the lights out, but don't think for a second they slept in! Ha! Yesterday we spent the day outside- Brent heated the pool up a bit, and the kids swam allllll day. Family and friends over for most of the day, chillaxin by the pool....







and now, it's over. :( Countdown to summer is on!
