Spring Break

I decided a while ago I wanted to go to Austin for Spring Break but didn't know for sure I would be able to handle it since I knew Kenney wouldn't be coming with me. I finally decided to take the chance and see how the kids and I would fare! Well, we survived and had a blast! It was a quick weekend, but so much fun. They said their favorite part was going to see Nanny and playing with their cousins. Well, that was pretty much all they did, so I guess it was a hit!

We were able to see two of my Aunts while we were down there, so that made it even more fun.  Nanny and Aunt DeeAnne got the boys some cars, puzzles, stickers and more, so they were set!  We also went to McDonald's and got Happy Meals which hardly ever do!  Aunt Darla took us to get frozen yogurt and had a pretty cool coloring book for them to color.  They keep asking when we get to go to Austin again.

After spending some time with Nanny, we spent the entire next day at the Payne's house.  We didn't go anywhere or have any plans, besides letting the kids play.  It was perfect.  All of them got along really well and they were happy as could be.  We played games, jumped on the trampoline, ate snacks, blew bubbles, ate some more, watched My Little Ponies (a new experience for us), colored, ate ice cream cones, etc.  They just played!  It was a fast and busy, but very much worth it!  We have one amazing family!

Bentley with her Great Grandma (Nanny)

Aunt Darla, Bentley and Nanny

Nanny and the kids (it's really weird saying the kids rather than 'the boys'  I forget sometimes there is a girl involved!)

Pretty much the entire time we were at Nanny's, she was holding Bentley.  They both loved it!

Happy Girl

These boys (and girl) were lucky to be able to see Aunt DeeAnne.  She spoiled them, and they loved it!  Radley had a lot of fun with her because she kept teasing him that she would take his blanket and Buzz Lightyear home with her.  He would just point at her and yell, "No!"  It was funny to watch.

Bentley never laid down at all!  There was someone to hold her the whole time.

Hook 'em Horns!  Aunt Darla is a big University of Texas fan.

Bentley got into it this time!

Nanny playing with the uncooperative Radley!

Radley continued to be difficult and the horns continued too!

Fun with cousins always starts early!

These kids found just a tiny bit of water and turned sidewalk chalk into body paint.  Radley was covered in chalk too, but was continuing his picture taking strike!

I could not believe how well they covered themselves!!

The new Blue Men group

Kyler wanted a close up picture of his face.  His paint was not very dark, but it was thick!

Kyler covered his legs really well.  This picture just makes me laugh; those legs are so skinny!!  I keep trying to shove food down his throat, but the only thing he eats well are sweets!!  However, he does eat; I promise!

Playtime with the Payne's wouldn't be complete without a little Just Dance!  It was funny because Shayla just turned on YouTube videos and let the kids dance, but they really thought they were playing the game.  After each song they would announce who won based on the 'scores.'
