March Madness

Turns out March was much better to us than February was. Here are some of the highlights of our busy fun!


The kids have been doing much better behaviorally, making better choices and improving in the areas of obedience and being respectful. We still have a long way to go but they were both able to fill their first sticker chart and I allowed them a prize of their own choosing. Mason was thrilled about getting this kinetic rock sand kit.


And Mal picked a hatchimal. (I was able to hunt one day at our Target! They are slowly getting easier to find!) The excitement on their faces while they were watching it hatch was priceless!


Her cute blue Draggle!


Daddy went on his annual bird hunting trip, so I offered to take our sweet Hud for a fun cousin sleepover. We ate dinner and played at the beloved Burger King, haha.


Goofy kids with way too much energy for bedtime!


All snug in Mals bed! (She ended up having to move to a mattress on the floor because both boys were snoring! Lol.)


Donuts the next morning! It was an incredibly fun night and everyone did so well!



The twins got some playtime with their cousin Christian over Spring Break!


We celebrated Aunt Mami's 35th birthday! She still looks 20! ;)


Park fun with cousin Hud for Mami's birthday celebration! I just love these 3 kids to peices!


Mason started baseball practice! We are playing coach pitch this year, woohoo!


A stop in Academy must always include the free entertainment in the golf section. Haha.


I was able to attend my sweet cousin Laura's bridal luncheon!


We went to the Texas Tech Spring football game here. Mason coincedentally found his little baseball teammate Cooper and they had a blast playing cornhole. (Or throwing the bean bags as hard as they could!)


Had fun tailgating with our sweet friends!


Wreck em! 
(Look how huge Raider Red was. Notice my tiny people at the bottom! Haha!)


We also had the pleasure of attending my sweet cousins beautiful wedding! (My babies all dressed up!)
My cousin Laura actually married my brother-in-laws brother. They officially met at my sisters wedding but started talking after they "re-met" at Hudsons baby shower at my house! So it really was a huge family celebration and we are so happy that they found each other in such a special way!


I sure do love these precious kids!


We don't clean up like this too often. It was definitely worth trying to get a family picture. Even if it's full of fake awkward smiles by all. Hahahaha!


The beautiful bride and my uncle! Such a perfect wedding!


And of course, the night would not be complete without a picture of these 3 looking so fancy! The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a blast! The kids danced all night and are still talking about how much fun they had!


We wrapped up another swim lesson session and the twins are doing great. Both in the next to last level learning how to side breath and perfecting their form on all their strokes. They are going to be little fish this summer for sure! Can't wait to be ready for pre-team swimming! (Note the kids shoes in this pic. They thought that was so hilarious!)


We had another observation day at dance and Mal was wonderful. Her technique and coordination has improved tremendously since last year and she was elated the entire time we watched. I cannot wait to watch her at recital!


The kids had farm day at school and they encouraged everyone to dress up. They got to talk about farm animals and make butter!


And we ended the month with a Mommy/kids lunch and movie date to watch Boss Baby while Dad went on a hunting trip. The kids had been talking about seeing this movie since it first showed up in previews. They giggled a ton and I thought it was pretty cute too. But mostly enjoyed listening to their little laughs and spending time with my babes.

What am I going to do with myself when they are in kindergarten next year!? I can't even think about that. :(

Ready for a fun April full of baseball games, Mommys 4th annual girls trip, Easter, our friend Paxton's birthday, and I'm sure lots more exciting times with my crew! This year is flying by!
