March madness



I have got to do better about posting...but until I do, you'll have to suffer through this long update!

Spring break was about a week ago and it was the perfect chance to catch up on a few things while also enjoying the gorgeous spring weather around here. We did a little painting, gave the yard a spring cleaning, and marked a few things off the to-do list. Luckily we also got to take advantage of the extra time to catch up with a few friends and enjoy some of the fun spring activities around Houston. Of course the big one here is the rodeo and our little guy loves himself some rodeo! Thanks to Aunt B for the great picture taking...:)

So excited to be at the rodeo!



Ready to get some food for the animals in the petting zoo!



While we at the pig races Todd got stopped by one of the local TV stations to be interviewed. I tried to run away, but no such luck. :) Sooo...we were on TV! Of course then that night we completely forgot to watch the news, so we didn't actually see ourselves, but got plenty of phone calls to let us know we had been seen. I'm sure it was fantastic...;)



Will seriously loves tractors. We had to check out the displays and he wanted to know what all the parts were...which of course we had no idea. Sorry Bellamy's...I'll have to brush up my skills. :)



This one had a little video running in the dash to simulate being out in the fields...very cool.



The big project of the week was to get Will's new room painted and prepped to be moved into. The best surprise of the week was that mom decided to come down and help us paint! As soon as Will found out she was coming he started asking if she was here yet so they could get started -- we really should have kept it a secret and saved some of our sanity. :) But finally Grandma showed up with paint brushes in hand and off they went to paint the new room!

Will was such a huge help...



Ok, maybe not a lot of help, but had a ton of fun with Grandma!



After all the work was done, it was time to have some fun. Since the weather was so nice, we decided to check out a Safari zoo that we had been wanting to take Will to. I have a feeling we will definitely be back for another visit with our little animal lover.

I don't know if mom wants to get quite this close to the camel again though...



Hi giraffes!



Another petting zoo, another happy boy.



And just like that, another spring break has chugged away....but we had lots of great adventures along the way. Next stop - summer vacation! :)
