Spring Break

We had a great Spring Break even though the weather was definitely not very springlike. 

We started with a trip to Port Aransas!  We had intentions of staying several days, but ended up cutting our trip short because of the cold and rainy weather.  We did enjoy one fun day on the beach and hit up our usual spots in town.  We also had some up close encounters with the alligators!

Ready to hit the sand!

Since we had to leave early, we decided to take our time on the way home and throw in a few surprises for the kids.  It ended up being the best part of the trip!  First, we stopped just outside of Port A to feed the seagulls.  Next, we hit up the little aquarium in Rockport. 

 We also stopped for ice cream and toured the zoo in Victoria.  It was a tiny zoo, but we loved it!

Back in College Station we enjoyed a fun week with no schedule!  We spent one day at the children's museum. 

 Then stopped by Cake Junkie for some yummy cake balls!

 We also went to see the new Cinderella movie!

 On the last day, we got really brave and went ice skating.  It started a little rough, but we had a blast!  They had big cones for the kids to hold onto and skate behind.   Hadley never could get her balance, so Chad had the great idea to put her skates on the cone.  He and I took turns pushing her around the ice.  She thought it was fantastic!

Loved having both kids home all day every day for an entire week!  We are ready for summer!!!

MSC Opas Jr.

We had a great time attending the MSC Opas Jr. shows on campus this year.  First up was Wild Kratts.  Cooper loves their show and thought this was awesome.  He was so excited to wear his Wild Kratts gear!  Hadley loved it too, and sat so still and quiet.

Keeping the kids entertained before the show with a selfie!

 Next up was Jack Hanna! Grandmommy and PaPa got the kids these tickets for Christmas.  They have been looking forward to it for awhile!  Right as we walked in, Jack Hanna himself was handing out autographed pictures to the kids.  Cooper was SO excited.  He brought many real animals including a kangaroo, alligator, and a monkey!  It was a great show!

School Fun Days!

Cooper has had a lot of fun days at his school during the last couple of weeks.  He loves getting to dress up!

Favorite sports team day! (There were A LOT of Aggies around, so he decided to be different!)

 Open House! 

We loved getting to see all of Cooper's hard work.  He was so proud to show us his projects.

Valentine's Day!

We had a fun Valentine's Day!  Chad and I celebrated with our annual Valentine's Dinner with friends while the kids enjoyed Fun Friday Night at church.  Cooper had fun at his school party and Hadley decorated her cookies at home.  Love my sweet love bugs!
