The eyes of Texas will soon be upon us...

Yes, you read right. We are heading south for a trip to the Lonestar State! Finally!!! :o) The last two weeks of April will hopefully greet us with warm weather and lots of time with family and friends. We will be in Hurst for a while with a possible side trip to Austin for a conference. Anyway, I am so excited. This is the first time John's stepmom and friends have met Erin or seen Ethan since he was 1 1/2 years old. And the last time our friend Dave saw me, I was very pregnant and big as a barn. Moooo... We are driving. A car trip with 2 crazy kids should be fun. We are looking in to borrowing a DVD player for the car from one of our friends. Hopefully, that will help us kill some time.

Yesterday was a GLORIOUS day weather wise. Here are some pictures of us goofing off outside. We had a blast!

Hook 'Em Horns!

Ethan flying his first kite!

He's so excited to get it off of the ground. He kept running up and down the sidewalk!

The bubbles were a big hit!

Erin rode this horse for about two second. Then she decided that she wanted to know what dirt and sticks tasted like. Ick!

And finally, a friendly game of soccer with a giant ball!
