Spring Break - Dallas Trip





































































































Spring Break was lots of fun. It flew by. My Grandmother who lived in Ruston for several years, had recently moved to Sulphur Springs, Texas with my Aunt and Uncle. We were able to visit with them and it was so good to see everyone.
We spent one day at Six Flags! The kids had the best time. There were lots of rides that even Myles could ride. Sydney didn't know to be scared - she and Tedd rode Flashback! She quickly learned to be scared after going upside down and backwards for several loops. HA! She said she would do it again but I'd have to see it to believe it. She did enjoy the Judge Roy Scream, the Mine Train, Log Ride, and several others.

We also were able to go to a Texas Rangers game. This was the first "real" baseball game the kids have been to. It was fun - a little cool that day but still had a good time.
We also shopped some. We went to the Galleria and the American Girl Store! Sydney and I were both in shock in that store! It was very neat if your child is into the Dolls and Sydney is!
After our trip - Sydney started running fever on the way home and was sick for the rest of the week. We could not get her fever to break - just a virus. She ran fever for 5 days - no fun.
It was very nice to get away for a few days!

Church Easter Egg Hunt




















Our church had the annual Easter Egg Hunt at the Neal's home. They are so sweet to do this every year. There were several thousand eggs hid all over their property split up by age groups. WOW! Myles thought he was in heaven! He has been every year but this was his first time to know what to do and get into it! Last year he picked up 1 egg, sat down to eat the candy inside and by the time he got up all the eggs were gone!

This year he made a mad dash to pick up as many eggs as possbile! He filled his basket!

Sydney had a strategy - she decided to run out ahead of everybody instead of picking up the first eggs that she came to. It worked - she too filled her basket!

They had jumpy castles and hay rides - lots of fun! We look forward to this every year.

Sydney's school easter Egg Hunt
















I was on the committee for Sydney's school Easter Egg Hunt and Party. They had quite a spread! The party was very nice and even the Easter bunny was present. Robin Robbins dressed up as the Easter Bunny - he even hopped down a trail to arrive at the party! The party was at Lincoln Parish Park and he backed his truck up on one of the trails and literally came hopping down the bunny trail! The kids ate, hunting eggs, and played some games.

Thanks Nanna for the power tools!














Thanks Nanna for the power tools. Myles thinks he can fix anything now. He loves to drill and saw and weed eat then clean up his mess with the blower! He is all fixed up! Watch out Tim the Toolman. We will be sure to bring them to your house when we come for a visit so you can enjoy the noise too!

Easter Egg Hunt Myles Daycare










Myles' school had their own Easter Egg Hunt that Tedd and I attended. We wanted to go to his because we were both going to Sydney's. They dyed eggs and had lots of fun finding them! It was fun to watch - they were excited about actually finding the eggs - not just what was inside!

Church Pic




I just took a couple of pics of the kids after church on Sunday. They turned out cute so I thought I would share one. This was on Myles actual b-day and we let him pick where he wanted to eat. He picked Chilis - that's where the pic was taken.

Too much sugar and b-day fun!


This is what happens when you miss nap for your birthday party and are SUGAR FILLED! Tedd and Myles were putting together his new train track on his train table and there were pieces everywhere. Myles tripped over 1 of the pieces and fell and hit his rocking chair. It left a nice knot in between his eyes.
