Spring Break so far . . .

 It just doesn't feel like the weekend unless we are on our back porch, grilling dinner, Madi climbing the tree and just enjoying the evening!
 These puppy piles just kill me!
 Saturday morning we ran some errands and then Gracie came over to play. 
 They loved getting in the hot tub since it was so cool outside.
 Lazy mornings with puppies on your lap = great Spring Break
 Sunday evening we went on a family bike ride to where else?  Cup of Yo!
 Monday we took the puppies in for their yearly shots.  Everyone except Noodle.  We were definitely entertaining with all 3!
 At Market Street when they have their samples, Madi tasted some chicken made with green enchilada sauce and green chilis.  So we had that for dinner Monday night.  She even cut the chicken into cubes and served it with toothpicks in each bite.  :)
 Madi drew a portrait of Maci and Tucker.  The little spike on Tucker's head is when Aunt Shelle spikes his hair up in the front.
 We did some clothes shopping one evening and on the way home we stopped at USwirl for a treat!
 Then to complete our girls' night of shopping and yogurt we got in the hot tub and watched Full House together.
 Tuesday afternoon we met Aunt Shelle and the cousins at Blue Sky for lunch then spent the afternoon riding bikes through Safety City.
 Tripped cracked us up in his helmet.
 They also had these 4-wheel bikes they could ride.
 Shelle and I were up on the overpass looking down at Madi and Maci.
 And Tucker!
 All the buildings are really neat as you drive through the "town."
 Tripp decided to sit on top of City Hall.
 Shelle and I got another work out in by riding the 4-wheel bikes. 
It was perfect weather so we loved the day spent with cousins!

Trying Tennis!

 Sunday afternoon we made it back from Ft. Worth in time for Madi to start her tennis clinic. 
 She loved it and I loved sitting in the sun watching her play!
 That afternoon Madi helped me make pawprint cupcakes for a puppy shower at work on Monday.
 Yes, I said puppy shower.  We have a sweet girl that lost a puppy to a bad illness and recently got a new puppy so we decided it was a good idea for a celebration!
 Monday she wanted to wear a dress and sandals. 
 This was our set up for the puppy shower at work Monday afternoon. 


 Tuesday
 Barely caught her diving!
 Enjoying Biscuit cuddles. 
 Wednesday
 Thursday
 Thursday afternoon was so beautiful so we just had to go on a bike ride and stop at Cup of Yo for a treat.
 Biscuit is tucked into Noodle. 

 Later that evening I see Biscuit laying on Noodle's neck.
 Then I saw her paw draped over Noodle.  
 Friday
Spring break is here!  We are ready for some relaxation and a fun trip with cousins!

Wedding Weekend!

 This cute girl braided her own hair Friday night!
 I received the cutest card from Madi for my birthday.
 She surveyed me the night before asking questions about my favorite animal and food.  So my card had ribs on them and giraffes.  :)
 Saturday morning we were up and in the car bright and early.  Casey gave me a nose flute for Madi to play with on the drive to Dallas. :)
We drove straight to Magic Time Machine for a fun lunch! 
 Grandma came along to keep Madi company while we went to the wedding.
 Madi ordered a bubbly drink that was bubbling away for a long time!

We enjoyed watching Madi have so much fun.

 She went to all the different tables taking pictures.
 Each table has a theme and the waiters are all in costume and play the role of different characters.


 The neatest magician came to our table as we were about to leave.  He did the coolest tricks!
 They took our picture at the beginning and then brought us this . . .
 When I opened the picture I made an audible gasp as I realized they switched all our faces around!  We had a good laugh so we had to buy the picture as a keepsake!
 On our way to the hotel we found a place for Uncle Jake!
 We got dressed for the wedding while Grandma and Madi swam in the hotel pool and hot tub.

  We walked a street over to attend my boss's wedding at the Bird Cafe in downtown Ft. Worth. 
  Our Dean officiated the ceremony which made it extra special.
Mr. & Mrs. Hamman (or Dr. and Dr. Hamman!)
 We got in pretty late after a night of eating, drinking, dancing, celebrating and talent showing!
When we got back to the hotel I saw Madi's room service order on a hotel pad of paper.  :)
