Wildseed Farms

 

April 24th, 2009 I let Mackenzie play hookey from school and met Natalie, Jen, and their kids in Dripping Springs, then we all drove to Wildseed Farms (almost to Fredricksburg). It was a gorgeous place and the flowers were all in bloom. These first pics are from the butterfly house there. Both girls were completely entertained with caterpillars, cocoons, and butterflies everywhere.

 

This is the whole, fun crew. Lots of little ones!

 

These pics are in front of their huge poppy fields. Gorgeous!

 

Ice cream afterwards, of course!

Mackenzie's First Field Trip

 

April 23, 2009 Mackenzie's kindergarten class got to go on a field trip to the Texas Memorial Museum and I got to help chaparone her class. I was so glad to go. Not only because I was glad to see her and her classmates have such a great adventure, but because I've been patiently waiting for my kids to get older so I could learn more about what there was to see in Texas! Only through field trips to you get to be a 'tourist at home'. This pic is of Kenzie and Meredith just outside the museum. Backyard and best friends.

 

The whole class with Ms. May.

 

Afterward, we all got to go to Zilker Park and have a picnic and then the kids got to play. Say CHEESE!

 

Tired, hot, and happy, Ms. May's 2009 kindergarten class. In the graduation ceremony, Ms. May had a picture of Mackenzie and Meredith asleep on the bus on the way back, and holding hands across the aisle.

Easter Weekend

 

Easter Weekend, April 11-12, 2009 The Andertons came over for dinner and Kenz and Ava colored eggs while Brady lovingly kept the little ones busy watching a show. Such a selfless guy (no, actually he really is). We love the Andertons.

 

The Easter bunny came and left some goodies...

 

Kenz's stuff.

 

And Madi's goods.

Ezra Stays With Us

 

April 28th-May 5th, 2009 So FUN. We got to watch baby Ezra for a week while Jessica and Chris celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary. We had lots of fun and loved having a baby boy in the house.

 

It was warm enough to be outside but the water was NOT. Ezra did not care for the sub-zero water but loved being outside. As you can tell, the girls didn't care what temp the water was - they were going swimming.
