Springbreak!

I am finally getting around to blogging about our Springbreak! When school let out on Friday, we headed to Kansas City to visit Grandma and Grandad. We didn't get there until midnight or so and stayed up a while talking. It was good to see them! The next morning Aunt Mona came bearing gifts! She brought Layton some puzzles, Lincoln some cool pajamas, and Hannah a pretty dress. She painted Hannah's nails too and put stickers on her toes. Of course, Hannah just loved this.
Grandma with Layton.
Aunt Mona also brought Easter eggs filled with candy and money. So, the kids hunted Easter eggs in the house.



She read them stories. Thanks Aunt Mona for loving on our kiddos!


Grandma always comes up with the neatest crafts for the kids to do. She helped them make paper mache nests...






and let them dye some eggs!


Lincoln with his boiled egg!


We had a great time! We always love going to Grandma and Grandad's! We are looking forward to the end of May when they will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary!!!


We got home late Sunday night and the kids and I left Monday morning to head to Texarkana till Thursday. Kris was super busy at work and used our time away to work a bunch of late nights trying to catch up on things.


We were fortunate to have great weather most of the time we were there and the kids were able to play outside alot. I brought their bikes and Layton's walker. He loved being out with the big kids.


My parents have the perfect driveway to ride bikes on! I hope maybe while we visit this summer, Hannah can learn to ride without her training wheels. We will see!




Layton had his first taste of a sucker and boy did he like it.


He got so upset when we took it away.


The kids love to ride the four wheeler with Pappaw.


He took them and showed them a neighbor's horse. They both walked right up to it and pet it.

More four wheeler riding.




We enjoyed sitting on the front porch swing. Layton was fascinated by Pappaw on the mower.


One day we all met Pappaw for lunch at McDonald's and then Mom and I took the kids to Spring Lake Park, a park that I grew up going to. Another day Mom kept the kids for me while I went shopping and had lunch with a good friend from high school. Love my Momma!


Lincoln with the flowers he picked for me, Mom, and Hannah. He can be so sweet sometimes!


We came home Thurday morning and enjoyed the rest of the week at home. It was a great Springbreak!!
