Spring Break

This is going to be a lengthy post since we did so much over spring break.

Grandpa and Grandma came to visit for the week and every time they come we like to go somewhere we haven't been. We drove down to the new cowboys stadium to do the tour, but unfortunately for us a bunch of tour buses bought the last of the tickets. It was still cool to look at.

We drove back down to Grand Prairie to go to the Wax Museum and Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum. Here are a few fun pictures from our day at the museum.

These first ones are from the wax museum...



















These are from the Ripleys Museum, Milan is standing next to the worlds tallest man. Milan is 6'2" and he looks little next to this guy. I don't remember how tall he was.




We let the boys pick the dinner spot and they chose the Magic Time Machine. Its a fun place to eat, but the food is just ok. Ethan had to track down Jack Sparrow and get his autograph and picture taken. We still haven't outgrown the pirate obsession. I'm still waiting for that one to happen.







The kids had so much fun with grandma and grandpa. Grandma taught carson to crochet and to sew. They made pajama shorts and carson made alot of crochet ropes. Grandma also worked on the piano with Carson. It was great to have the extra help and I even got some more painting done.


One thing I learned when I was growing up is if you are one of the men folk, never fall asleep because this is what happens...








Look closely at the fingernails!!! Grandpa was a good sport!

Payton Posing

Paytie is so funny! The other day Carson was leaning against the wall talking to me and Paytie stood next him trying to get our attention. He moved to the other wall and she followed him, whatever Carson did she was going to do too. We started laughing at her so she started doing funny poses. She's such a ham and she knows it. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. Don't
you just love the mowhawk!

Canton Trip

If you live in Texas, you have to go to Canton. This is the coolest place. Its like an endless garage sale and boutiques galore to browse through. You can't see the whole thing in one day because there is just so much to see and the place is enormous I had so much fun with the ladies I went with, besides who wouldn't like a day out with friends, shopping, and no kids. Here are a few fun pictures from our girls day out.
This is my favorite tent to shop at. They have all kind of cool things, like old windows, shutters, doors, cupboard doors, and old metal hardware.

You can never have too many pairs of sunglasses right.

Lunch in Canton can take forever. Make sure to get in line before you are actually hungry or eat early.

This is our cart at the end of the day, packed as high as we could. That wasn't even all of our stuff, we carried some of it. Thanks ladies, it was so much fun!
