Catching Up

Snow Day, so could it be Halloween?????

I guess considering that we woke up to snow and ice this morning, it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think today might be Halloween, especially since there is a batman running around my house!!! Rayden, and all his super powers, have been hard at it today, saving the dog and poor Casen!! I guess if we are playing dress up, Casen is going as a boxer, to match his first black eye, poor guy! Last night he fell and hit his face on the window sill, and woke up with a black eye. I can't help but call him "Bruiser" every time I look at him!! The snow had pretty much melted away before Rayden had a chance to go play in it. However, there was still a little snow left under his trampoline, so he headed out to make snow angels!

His beautiful black eye!!! But still smiling...

Snow Angel, well something like it...

Science Spectrum

Over the weekend we took the boys to Lubbock for the weekend, on a mini vacation! We stayed at the Embassy Suites so Rayden could swim, ate good, went out for ice cream and had a good weekend. Rayden didn't want to come home from "bacation"!!! We also went to the Science Spectrum while we were in Lubbock. Rayden loves this place and he did not want to leave!!! I am sure a full day there still wouldn't be enough for him!!!

Casen, not quite enjoying himself yet!

now it's Casen's turn

Casen LOVED this little roller coaster!!! He wouldn't stop crawling over to it trying to get on. I bet Chance had to take him down it 10 times!!!

Clovis Zoo

Over spring break me and Rayden & my sister in law Melissa and her son Gage, went with our friends Jose & Shannon and their kids, Alexia, Ariel, and Logan to the Clovis Zoo. Surprisingly, it was actually a pretty nice little zoo. The kids had a lot of fun and got to experience the animals up close and personal, as the enclosures are minimal. They saw tigers, lions, bears, giraffes, wolves, otters, zeedonks, buffalo, monkeys, as well as a ton of birds, ducks, and peacocks. Their was even a small area with calves that they could pet! It was a great little day venture!! Thanks Shannon for inviting us!!!
