Fun Times

We’ve had some fun during the last few months!

Claire excitedly played with some new toys she got for her birthday.

 We went to Ryan’s birthday party and had fun bouncing, swinging, jumping, and playing.

I had lunch with Tasha! 

And I had lunch with Margie! I love these ladies!

My parents and I saw Wicked. I hadn’t seen it before, so it was a special treat. It was fantastic!

Claire’s a Chicken Face!

Claire frequently tells Jordan and me that we are a chicken face. This time, SHE’S the chicken face! No joke!

The kindergarten classes at her school put on a program at a PTA meeting. (The meeting only took about 2 minutes. I was WAY impressed!) And Claire’s class got to dress up like chickens. I think her costume turned out great! (And I’m really hoping she’ll want to be a chicken for Halloween, too!)

There were chickens, cows,

sheep, and pigs. They are all super cute!

Claire’s class was featured during the Chicken Dance song, so they got to use rhythm sticks and perform to that classic piece of music. :-)

They sang songs and had fun.

I love my little chicken face!

Aaron’s Birthday

We celebrated Aaron’s birthday with burgers and hot dogs, presents and cake, and swimming in the hot tub with our clothes on! (Well, the kids did, at least!)

We also played with balls, bats, and hula hoops!

Happy birthday to Aaron! We love you!

Western Day

Claire’s class studied Texas for a couple of weeks, and then they had a Western Day at school. It started with lassoing a cow.

She raced in a sack.

She also dug for gold, played horseshoes, played musical chairs, and posed on a pony.

After all that fun, we ate hot dogs, chips, and cookies, and we sipped on Capri Suns. What a fun day to spend with her!

Arboretum

Dayton and I went to the arboretum with Grandmom, Laura, Belton, and Elizabeth. The flowers were beautiful, of course!

And the children were entertaining.

 I’m pretty sure the boys were yelling “cheese” for these pictures.

There was an incredible play area where we sat and roamed while we watched the boys play.

Dayton found the water.

And he found some eggs.

These flower puzzles were pretty cool.

He rode an ant.

And Dayton and I sat in a nest with some more eggs.

He crawled through this log, and there was still more to do, also!

The weather was beautiful the day we went!
