We love Kinsey's facial expressions! She is so animated!
We all went to bed early tonight which was really nice to catch up on plenty of zzz's especially after a busy and fun-filled day!

Big Tub!
Oh how I miss our big bath tub! Maybe one day we'll have another one. The kids were in need of a bath after playing all day today and there's nothing else to do at our Plano house since there's no cable, Internet or toys. They love bath time! When I take pictures of them in the tub, I always forgot to be wary of their private parts so there are a lot of pictures that I can't post on here. In fact, this is the only picture of them in the tub that's appropriate for the blog.

Dinner then Park
After Madeline's birthday party, we all loaded up and headed to Pop's favorite restaurant...El Fenix. Kinsey really enjoyed sitting next to Marcus! She wanted to do every thing he did. It was so cute to watch them. And, Beck had to bring in the shark that Daddy bought at the pool store.
This will be Beck's last rendezvous with Noah...Good Times!
Getting these kids to sit still and smile was almost impossible but it's a really cute picture of the cousins!
Right across the street is an awesome park! All of the kids (including grown-ups) had so much fun!
This is when the fun ended...Marcus ran into Beck and Beck ended up with a busted lip. Surprisingly, Beck didn't cry that much.
However, he cried hard when he ran around the tree, his feet slipped and he fell down on the ground. Injury #2 + no nap = very cranky little boy and that's when we headed home. Good-bye Noah...we had so much fun with you this past week and we sure hope you come back very soon!

Happy Birthday Madeline!!!
03.17
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! Today is the day to wear green, it's also the day we are traveling to Plano so Brent can turn on the pump to our pool (not cool to have a green pool even on St. Patty's Day) and it's also Madeline's birthday. Kristen sent me a message this week saying they were having Maddy's birthday party on Saturday afternoon if we happen to be in town. I was so excited she invited us! It was a rainbow themed party and the first thing Beck did when we got there was made a rainbow cloud.
Luckily, for Kristen, this was spring break week so she had time to prepare for the party.
Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz, showed up to pass out play dough! How exciting!
Then, Beck sat at the table set up to make rainbow necklaces...he made one for Kinsey.
This pinata was super hard to break but Beck and Maddy did a great job hitting it!
Kristen finally tore it open and dumped out the candy/balls. Each kid had a sack to fill and Beck filled his with Twizzlers. I think he grabbed every Twizzler he could find and not anything else.
Too cute!!
Finally get to eat cake! Beck wanted some cake as soon as he saw it! And, he ate two slices!!!
Maddy opened gifts then she passed out party favors. What a fun party!

Discovery Science Place
03.14
We took a field trip to the Discovery Science Place today. I don't know who was more excited...me or the kids! As soon as we walked in the door, Beck checked out the toys, gadgets, stuffed animals, etc. and found the one thing that he wanted...a stuffed animal that just happens to be a snake. I told him we would get it on the way out. As we entered the first room, without me knowing, Beck took off his shoes and ran in the dinosaurs cave. After we had been there for at least two or three minutes, I noticed he didn't have his shoes so I asked him where they were and he kept pointing toward the door. I guess he thought he was in somebody's home because he made himself comfy! Luckily, his shoes were still there.
This place was filled with all kinds of neat things for kids to do!
This was probably my favorite room...a pretend tv station! Beck and Noah had a blast putting food together, putting it in the oven and then serving it. Noah really liked using the video camera and they all liked the control room. Can you see me on the tv screen?
Beck and Noah also loved the dinosaurs cave. They ran in that many, many times! And, Kinsey was cracking me up because she would let out this deep, "Roar" every time we walked in it!
We finally ventured to the other two rooms and Beck was practically in tears begging me to buy the snake. Can you see it in the picture below? The other rooms had little pretend places such as a grocery store, a restaurant and a real ambulance which they all loved! They also enjoyed the wind tunnel.
Before we left, Kiki bought the boys a few gifts...sour powdered sugar and Beck got another stuffed animal..triceratops which he named, Spike! I must say that Kinsey was a trooper because she did not nap on the way there and she was a good girl the entire time we were there. Needless to say, she crashed as soon as we started driving and then Beck crashed right before we got to Gilmer. After dropping off Kiki and Noah, I drove around to let Beck get some more zzz's. Beck had a really busy day...he went to Heather's for Joy School in the morning and then we spent all afternoon at the Science Place. It was so much fun! I would recommend going here and hopefully, we can go back soon with Daddy.
After we all ate dinner, Kiki and Noah came over to play with Beck's toys. (Beck was dying for Noah to come to "his" house and play with his toys.) At one point, they dressed up in Beck's Transformers costumes/masks.
The next day, Kinsey woke up with fever so Kiki picked up Beck and he stayed over there all day and came home around bed time. He had SO much fun!!! They dressed up in the costumes that Kiki bought at the Science Place...I love it!

At the Carnival with Noah
03.13
Neena and Wendy came over this morning to spend the day with us before leaving to go back to Costa Rica. We showed Neena our new favorite park, Gilmer Lake Park, and built castles, walked to the pier and Kinsey spent a lot of time on the swing. Our adventure ended when Beck got ants on his hand. Then, we ate lunch at McDonald's and let the kids play. Neena left right after the kids woke up from their nap and then Kiki came over to pick up Beck. Poor Noah asked about Beck all morning.
We all met in Longview for dinner then headed over to the little carnival at the Longview Mall.
Beck laughs at every thing Noah does and wants to do every thing that Noah does...it is so fun to watch these two!
They pretty much did it all tonight! We bought 50 tickets and walked away with only fourteen.
We played one game and Noah got a cool blow up sword and Beck insisted on the pirate hat! Brent and I were shocked that he didn't want the same sword that Noah got.
To get out of this fun house, you had to walk through a spinning tunnel and Beck did not want to do that so Brent had to carry him out. Wow, that's impressive!
Beck ate a funnel cake and drank lemonade while Noah rode a truck.
Kiki, Pops and Noah left and this is Beck's reaction...he was SO sad!
I wanted Kinsey to ride something so we hopped on the carousel. We started on the horse but Brent and I decided that might be too much for her so we opted for the bench. Wise choice!
Beck rode the truck while Kinsey and I were on the carousel.
Then, it was time for us to go home...Beck was SO sad again!
