How did Ethan get to be TWELVE already????

There was alot going on this spring and we just didn't have time for a big party.  I did surprise him with an Angry Birds cake though!  And he a new BIG bike from mom and dad, and he also got a ton of new books.

filled with green goo- that's from all those angry birds eating all those mean green pigs! LOL!

So glad my mom got to come out and see us!

We had a great week! The kids were so happy to have their grandma Lisa here. Sure do wish we could see family more often!!!fds

 

Midieval Times

 

Keeping up with our them this spring break of doing a million things, all things that we have never done/gone to before...we went to Midieval Times.  It is dinner and a show, with knights, a king, and a princess.  It was a really cool thing to do!

Magic Time Machine

I was wanting to take the kids out somewhere to eat that was FUN but not exactly Chuck E Cheese....I couldn't really come up with anything so I asked around.  Leah suggested the Magic Time Machine in Dallas.  Kind of a long drive just for dinner but wow- this was NOT just dinner!  It was an experience!  And is now the #1 place my kids are always asking to go back to!  Every person working there was dressed as a charachter- Mario, Dorothy from Wizard of Oz, Superman....the list went on and on.  When you get there, they give you an autograph card and you can ask each of the characters to sign it for you.  They also had a magician that stopped by our table (each table is a different theme also- we were in some sort of tiki hut)  Our waitress was Belle from Beauty and the Beast.  We had drinks that had magic smoke in them, and the food was pretty good.

Dinosaur Valley State Park

My mom came out over spring break- we had so much fun.  We went to Dinosaur Valley in Glen Rose.  There are real dinosaur footprints in the river and when the water is low enough you can actually see them.  Unfortunately it was not low, but the kids did get to play in the water

 They did have some dinosaur prints to check out though: the kids were pretty impressed!
