Sneaking Off

 Jason and I snuck off to Galveston for a few days, and when I say "snuck" I mean, we asked the kids if they wanted to come with us...and they said no. 

So we walked on the beach

And ate where we wanted

And made commentary on the wildlife

More Track

 I think we are about done with track season.  

Last week Reed got 1st in pole vault, 3rd in the 3600, and 6th in the 1600.

He definitely makes pole vaulting look easy (which I know it's not)

And these are some of my new favorite pictures.

Pics and a New Baby

I think I forgot to mention that Jason and I actually bought a steer at Kyle's FFA auction. I had no idea Jason was planning on buying an animal or I would have worn a cuter outfit! In fact, the first I heard of us buying anything was when I started hearing our name called out by the auctioneer.  We just our buyer plaque this week, so here we are with our purchase. 

And when your friends buy your kid's pig and ask you to be in the picture with them, you get in the picture with them.  So we're actually in Kyle's buyer plaque too! 

And speaking of animals.  They had 2 new baby sheep and a baby goat born at the ag barn.  Just look how precious this little baby goat is.  I'm so glad Kyle sent this video of him petting it so I could see it. It looks like a puppy! 

Spring Break Wrap Up

 Since Jason and I didn't ski, I had to rely on these two for pictures.  And I actually got 2, which is more than I was expecting since I didn't specifically ask for any. 

They also skied with a friend at Keystone one day, so I got this one. 

None of their ski clothes fit them this year, but thankfully we had JR's stuff in the closet.  And speaking of JR, he had a great time in Destin (where he thankfully stayed out of trouble!)

My Arms Have Finally Recovered

 Jason and I didn't ski this year, but we did go snowmobiling, which we haven't done in years! 

The cool riders look way cooler without Jason and me on the back. 

I hung on for dear life and my arms were sore for 2 days.  Also my back took a beating from all the bumps (as you can imagine I didn't squeal or complain at all!) 

Jason acting like he's fine

This is the way Kyle takes a break

And Jason looking statuesque taking a break 

What Things Look Like

 We made it home from spring break in time to finish up the rodeo with Luke Bryan.  He said last night he's performed at the rodeo 10 times. Here's what you look like when you're pretty sure you've seen him at least 5 or 6 of those times.  

It snowed quite a bit while we were in Colorado, here's what the porch looked like on different days. 

And if you're wondering what a fox would look like with a rat's tail, here it is.  We think this guy (or gal) is living across the way as we saw him almost every day.  We have no idea what's going on with his tail, but he sure is a sight. 

And finally, here's what you look like when you're upset you don't get to go out to lunch everyday like you do in the summer because it's still too cold for outdoor seating. 

Not Worth It

 Kyle said the hour hike up to the top "wasn't worth it", but it looks to me like it was.
