March Madness

Look's like I am falling into a rut of monthly blogging. Hmmm guess I should work on that. We're just so busy having so much fun! March was beautiful here in TX, with many day's in the upper 70's and 80's. Aside from the resent tornadoes. Thank heaven we are all safe and sound. We've spent many a days at parks and playgrounds playing with our family and friends!!!
Cole enjoying a fun dip...
What it spilled on your shirt...no worries he's on top of it!
Oh happy boy!
Uncle Ricky and Aunt Shena came for a nice visit over Rick's birthday! We had a blast just hanging out and wrestling. He liked his pretty princess gift ;) 
Happy Birthday to youuuu


Snuggle time
Celebrating cousin Trent's 3rd birthday 
Courtney lovin on Aunt Cassidy
I'm really not sure who had more fun at the party, the kids or.......
Daddy! Cole was waiting patiently to catch his Dad.
James is laughing b/c you come flying out of that slide at 30 mph, and he knew Cole was waiting to "catch" him. Ha he luckily didn't plow him down.
Birthday boy Trent and his family Uncle Kyle, Aunt Lauren and Ryan

Happy St. Patty's Day. We spent the day with Kyle/Lauren and kiddos in true Texan style at the Ft. Worth Stockyards with fun activities for the kids and a longhorn parade. 
Love to watch her run and laugh, makes my heart smile!
My little leprechaun and I watching the parade.
Everything is bigger in TX
LOL..."now kids stand STILL here and say cheese" haha yeah right

LOVE this pic! Trent technically took it, he did a great job!
Good times!
A beautiful day at the park w/the Newton cousins.  Courtney accidentally fell in the mud and had to change RIGHT AWAY!
On the other hand, Cole and Trent found the mud and were in HEAVEN!!!
This picture is priceless. The are 100% best buds!
He was in his glory, the dirtier he got the happier he was!
Lauren and I just figured let boys be boys and they giggled like little girls!
yeah the shirt is a goner!
Happy Pappy Birthday! We took Dad down to the bayou for his birthday! Bayou Jack's that is. It was quite the experience for us all. We had some yummy alligator, crawfish, and shrimp-n-grits!
It's biting me!
"Ewwwwww get that thing away from me!"
Kissing the crawfish, we did this for you Uncle Billy.  Cole said UB would kiss his fish so he should kiss the crawfish. haha
My cute frog giving his version of thumbs up!
Our first home project! Bathroom upgrade!! We were SO PROUD of ourselves for removing the mirror that was glued to the wall in one piece! Yea team work!!
My painting helper!
Finished product. Lots of candles.
The mirror was my inspiration for the whole room. I love all the colors and thought this tiny little bathroom could use some fun bright colors.

This is Cole with his new friend Jaxson, he lives right next door and they love to play together!
Playing at the Safari park
See told you we've been busy!
Have a Very HappY Easter everyone! Enjoy your loved ones and God Bless!!!
