Mother's Day 2009!

For Mother's Day we made a quick trip to see Granny and MelMel, a new tradition since Granny moved into her cute little apartment. We opened all of our presents and of course had a huge lunch in the dining hall complete with dessert, a must for our special day. I'm bummed because this year we did not get a photo of all of us girls, four generations all together at once. (Granny, MelMel, Honey & Ky) The biggest surprise of all was for Ky though. When we hopped into the truck to come home, MelMel came with us. Surprise!

Wiener Dog Races

So, a few weeks ago we drove the few minutes down to Buda and attended the Wiener Dog Races. It was definately quite the experience. There were all sorts of vendors out and about selling neat stuff at unaffordable prices, but of course we love to look. After wandering around for quite a while we posed for pics with the Wiener Mobile and took our seats in the stands to watch the races. The dogs seemed to really enjoy themselves. The owners would line up their dogs into the cages and run to the other end of the track, jumping and shouting, all the while acting silly. Then the cages were opened by a clever little lever and then they were off. Some of the doggies made it, some got turned around and some never even made it out of the starting gate. Who knew. Kylie had so much fun and asked to go back for days after the festival was over. Maybe next year!

And there they go!

Dave & Busters

Happy Birthday! Last Friday we went to Dave & Busters for a surprise party for John & Mason. Here are some pics. I'm bummed because I did not seem to get any pics of baby Madden as Ky calls him. Although we got tons of pics of Makenzie and Kylie... And it seems as if Mason fled the scene every time the camera came out as well. I need to be on my toes next time. Needless to say, Sunny did an awesome job for her "BOYS".

Daddy Town

So, one of Kylie's favorite places to eat is Gatti Town. She loves to go and eat pizza but most of all she loves to play the games with her Daddy. When we asked if she wanted to go the other day she said, "Yeah, Daddy Town!" Go figure!

Family Time! Cody, Kylie, Honey, MelMel, Papa & Granny!

On Easter Sunday, we cooked tons of food, put it in the oven and headed off to church. Kylie decided she wanted to go to Big Church and I am happy to report that she did awesome, but I think we will stick to the nursery from now on so we don't miss so much of the sermon catching flying crayons! When we got home MelMel, Papa & Granny drove tons of miles to see us and we took turns hiding and finding the eggs, ate lots of food and took lots of pics. It was so much fun spending time with family and celebrating the gift that Jesus gave to us. Thanks Mom, Dad & Granny for spending the day with us, it made Ky's day for you guys to be here! Save the date for next year!

Easter Bunny & Eggs

It rained last night so the Easter Bunny hid the eggs in the house this morning so we would not get muddy hunting for them outside. Ky had so much fun playing with her goodies and hunting eggs with Daddy. There were even "treats" for Harley hidden in some of the eggs as well as a few little toys and stickers. What fun they all had!

Easter Breakfast!

For breakfast this morning we had... Egg-shaped pancakes, vanilla ice cream and of course sprinkles. A new EASTER tradition. I must say it was mighty tasty!
