Ft Worth Zoo

For spring break (and on St. Patrick's Day), daddy took a day off and we had some family time at the zoo. It was great weather and we had lots of fun!

What do you want to be when you grow up: A big boy

Where is your favorite place to go: the beach 

Love you little man and am thankful for the days you want to snuggle and are sweet. But also love how much you make us laugh when you're being goofy. Your sister and brother both love you to pieces and you really play so nicely with both of them for the most part. You LOVE 'dozers' (bulldozers) as well as Paw Patrol and Mickey Mouse and still twirl your hair right before you fall asleep. You talk an insane amount narrating almost everything you're doing and know exactly what you want at all times. 

 

Golf & Big Boys

Drew has begun his second season with a Junior PGA league team he plays with and is loving it. This spring he'll have some tournaments and we are super excited for those! 

Also, who is this huge, big boy?

He helped us break down his crib and put together his big boy bed and man was it hard. I posted in our local groups finding a mom who could use it and we did. Her and her husband were hit hard losing their jobs during the pandemic so it was amazing gifting the crib and dresser to her. Very, very hard and sad, but sweet at the same time. 

Anyway, he loves his new construction sheets with 'dozers' on them and has been sleeping like a champ in there! :)

 

Kidless Key Largo

Thanks to my parents watching the kiddos for 3 nights, we got to get away to our warm, beach vacation! We had planned to go for Valentine's Day but due to the crazy Texas Freeze, we postponed and are so thankful we did! It would have been so stressful to leave the kiddos with parents when houses were out of heat and pipes were bursting all over the neighborhood. So, 3 weeks later we were on a plane and it was amazing! Here's what I wrote on facebook that summarized the trip: "Grateful. That’s the word that summarizes how we feel after our trip. We are so grateful for the ability to get away thanks to grandparents watching the kiddos and friends helping them. Grateful for our health to be able to walk along the beach and smell the fresh air. Grateful for delicious food served and prepared by others that we could eat at our own pace. Grateful for palm trees and sunsets and sites outside we could enjoy without masks on. And most importantly grateful for our marriage and this time together to recharge and renew."

 

Ady Soccer & Will's First Movie

Another season is happening with the Pandas and Ady just loves her teammates. She's also pretty darn good at soccer when she puts her mind to it!! 

A few weeks ago we took Will to see his first movie: Tom & Jerry The Movie. The movie itself wasn't the best but Will did GREAT and enjoyed snacking the entire 2 hours! :)
