Swim Lessons

Graham just finished up two weeks of swim lessons everyday.  We took the class with Grace, and they had so much fun and learned a ton!  I was way impressed with how much he was able to do after just 2 weeks.  Now he just goes every Monday morning for 30 minutes.  

Ready for the first day!

These 2 - they are just the sweetest friends!

Just a little excited!

Waiting for their turn on the step.

Ready for day 2!

Kicking with the barbells.

Learning to float on his back.

Waiting for his class to start on day 3!

Singing the ring song at the end of class!

Finally they got to go down the slide!  It was all he could talk about!

G's biggest fans!

Asking for a blue ring instead of the yellow.  Stinker!

Ready for the last day of class!

 He learned to float all by himself!

Sweet kiddos!  They graduated from the Guppy class to the Goldfish class!

Spring Break With Nana and Bop

We were so excited that Nana and Bop wanted to spend a few days of Bop's spring break with us!  We always love when we have visitors in Houston.  

First up was the rodeo on Tuesday morning.  We got there bright and early to beat the crowds, and it was great!  We parked, rode the tram, and were ready to see lots of animals.

They had so many farm animals that G loved looking at.

And the calf in this pen was only 9 hours old!

Pony ride!  He loved it!

Looking at the baby chicks.  We got to see some eggs hatch.

Time for the petting zoo - I was not a fan!  These animals were not shy, and they were everywhere!  The llamas were eye level with you and just searching for food.  Bop and G LOVED it!

So excited!

He wanted to brush them, just like at the zoo.

Next we went outside to the kids farm area they had set up.  They got to pick veggies, milk a cow, collect eggs, pump water, see a tractor, and pet a sheep.  It was perfect for little kids!

Then it was time for some carnival rides.  G was tall enough for just a few, and he had a blast!  

And of course we had to ride the carousel!

Next up, fair food!  Yummy!  Nana and I had some delicious corn dogs, Bop had a burrito, and Graham had pizza and fries.  Glad we were healthy! :)

And a treat on our way out - warm chocolate chip cookies!

Waiting on the tram with Bop!

G wasn't sure what to think about B's hat!

On Wednesday morning we went to the aquarium downtown to ride some rides, see the fish, and eat some yummy seafood!

On the train to see the sharks!

We had so much fun with Nana and Bop for spring break!  

Now if only it would feel like spring outside...

A Weekend in Marble Falls

 We went to Marble Falls on a Thursday afternoon for a special weekend!  It was Grampy's birthday, but also Uncle Todd and his fiance Elizabeth were flying in from Denver for the weekend.  We hadn't seen them since Christmas 2013, and they got to meet Bennett for the first time!

 B excited to be out of the car when we got there!

Grampy made Graham chocolate milkshakes while we were there!  He had 4 in 4 days...

Uncle Todd and Bennett meeting on Friday morning!  They were fast friends!

Play-doh with G and Uncle Todd.

Helping Aunt Kelsey make brownies!

We enjoyed the sunshine on Friday, and Graham loved playing in his sandbox.

Saturday was Grampy's birthday, and lots of people came to celebrate!  Trent's mom's side of the family all live in the Austin area so everybody came out to the house, along with Elizabeth's family.  There were 26 people there!  A full house but lots of fun visiting and catching up with family.

Graham and his 2nd cousin, Sawyer.

G ready to help Grampy blow out the candles and eat cake!

On a walk to see the goats down the street - gotta love country living!

Another chocolate milkshake!

Relaxing by the fire on Saturday evening.

We went to church on Sunday morning and then back home for lunch and packing before hitting the road.  What a fun weekend!

G doing a little reading before napping on the way home!

We had a date to HEB that evening - one of our faves!
