Texas - Part 2 Easter

 While we were in Texas there was a bad tornado in Arlington, which is 45 away. Denton had a Tornado warning so we were glued to the TV watching the weather. Heather and Brian were starting to rethink living somewhere that had such bad storms. The kids didn't mind at all.

The Houts were finally able to find a home in Ft. Worth- only 45 min away from my parents.

 One day we went to the Ft. Worth Zoo, which is awesome. The weather was perfect. Ethan was at Carson's house so he didn't get to come with us.

 

I love birds, this was the highlight for me.

 It was great to spend Easter there. Any chance to be home for a holiday, I take. Lance was a good sport to not make a big deal about us being gone. There were several families from church that invited him over for Easter dinner. He was taken care of.

We had a couple different Egg hunts, first it was just my family and the Houts. Then the next day we had another one with my cousins and their families.

 As always we went out to the land and played.  There is a small lake out there and the kids decided to play in it. It was mostly mud. What a mess. They played in it for close to 6 hours.

Abby and Cameron having a mud fight. Abby gets down right dirty. She is not a girly-girl when it comes to things like this. She will do whatever it takes to WIN.

Why on earth is it so fun to shoot a gun? My brother-in-law, Scotty J has several guns. His dream is to open a shooting range one day. I hope he does. He brought out all his guns and we had some fun.

This was by far the highlight for the kids-THE MUD. We didn't plan it, it just happened. The kids had planned to go fishing out at the land. It was a hot day and the kids didn't mind not having their swim suits. We improvised. They didn't seem to mind one bit. Kate was the only one a little hesitant.

I am gritting my teeth right now. How a mother could think this is so cute is beyond me. 

After Gavin swam he got his clothes on and then went to Grandma and said "I wanna snuggle."

LOVE Scotty J

My mom is so dang cute.

Uncle Scotty  make his berry cobbler. We are so lucky to have him around.

This plane came out of now where swooping by super low and scared us half to death. Once we realized he was saying hello and do a trick for us we liked it. 

My brother Paul and lots of kids taking a ride.

 Friday night my mom had an egg hunt for the kids. She had a ton of eggs and the kids found them all.

One of my favorite things out there is to sit and watch the sunset. They are amazing. It is so peaceful.
