Weekend in Leakey

We made the annual trip to Leakey this weekend. (I have to say here that this trip is usually just an annual trip for Bill as I do not like the outdoors or camping, but I do have two boys so I guess it is time to get used to it.) The boys, I am including Bill in that group, had a blast which made the trip a lot of fun for me. I didn't take many pictures, as it seems like all Memorial day weekends it rained so the camera wasn't out much. Here are some funny ones of the kids though.I know you are wondering why they have a pig in their yard - my only explanation is that they are aggies :) and yes that is a burnt orange toliet behind the pig.Cody's favorite toy of the weekend - I know he played in the mule more than the water.

Preschool graduation from the 3 year old class

Brayden had his last day in Ms. Debbie's class this year. He really enjoyed school this year and did very well. I feel like he learned a lot and is growing into a nice young man.

The zoo

We decided it was a nice hot day today and to spend it at the zoo. Brayden practically has it memorized we have been there so many times and Cody LOVED seeing the animals. We left just after everyone got red in the face and started sweating and in time for a nice cool lunch. feeding the deer
and the goats

Brayden was very good at leading Cody to the next spot and very gentle.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was so great this year, I felt so loved by all my family and I got to share it with my mom and my brother, sister-in-law and their children. We had brunch at the country club and then went to Nanny's to swim all day. The kids did great and had a blast. Then we ate left-overs for dinner so I wouldn't have to cook -who could ask for a better day?

Building a house takes time

It has been a little over 2 months since we started building this house. We have been delayed quite a bit but we finally got our slab poured today. I never thought I could get so excited over some cement, but I am. Here is a little video of the process so far.
