Busy Doesn't Begin to Describe It!

Dinner with Robyn, Bianca & Amber is always fun! 
Tuesday of last week, I went to Waco to visit our teacher candidates and to meet with the Superintendents of Waco ISD, Lorena ISD and La Vega ISD about a grant we received. 



We got home just in time for us to join Bianca's surprise birthday dinner at Funky Door! 

While we were at dinner, Madi and Elly did the physical skill test for lifeguard certification.  The 3 day training is in April. 
We hosted 16 10th grade girls for DNOW this past weekend. So Saturday night we went with the Norrises to Triple J for dinner then planned to go to the symphony.  We were all too tired (AND FULL!) so we opted to go home after. 
But this guy enjoyed cutting his steak! 


Madi's group won the skit contest! 


They had so much fun based on the noise level in our house! And the amount of snacks consumed! 
Matt & I need a weekend from our weekend.

First Job Application, More Earrings & More!

These balloons turned into . . . 
this arch for Kennedy's baby shower. 
We are very excited to meet Baby Long.  






We sure love Kennedy and are so excited for her!

Love that we can support an old friend and her new cookie business! 
This is the face of a girl that applied to her first big-girl job at HTeaO!  Then a number of other fun places to work.  Hopefully one of them can work around her crazy busy schedule! 
So we celebrated with more earrings!  I think she has 9 total now. :) 

Then we see memories like this and can't believe where the time has gone . . . 
Which is probably why matt still does silly stuff like this with her fruit and snack to make her smile. 
We are so excited for Leighton's first day at her new school this Tuesday! 
Morgan said she didn't want to take a picture.  She wanted down to go see what all this was about. 
We just know she's going to love her teachers and friends.

Denver for Spring Break!

We decided to go to Denver for Spring Break even though the volleyball tournament was cancelled. 
Our family of 3 is perfect for flights! 
These two knuckleheads were singing the ABC song while washing their hands making fun of me. :) 
First night we ate at Giordano's!

The 3 of us played at game that night in our hotel room and cracked up about something but I can't remember what it was! 
The view out of our downtown Denver hotel. It was so fun walking everywhere. 
We found two brunch spots that we LOVED! 


Then the girls got their nails done the first day after brunch at Syrup. 
Then dinner at West Saloon.  You can already tell we love to eat good food! 


The next day we went to brunch at the Delectable Egg then went to the Museum of Illusions which was really neat. 

This walk way was normal and straight yet since the inside of the tube was spinning it felt like you were going to fall over.  So weird!








The next day we went to brunch at Syrup again since it was so good!

And escaped two trapped rooms! 

We made the all time leader board for the first room! 
Then we headed to the aquarium. 











Then we fed the stingrays . . . 
And went to a cute 4D theater!
While the guys enjoyed a happy hour in the aquarium restaurant. 
Then we headed home on Tuesday.  It was a fun get away but we still have the rest of the week to relax! 
Twinning to the airport.
