Our blog will be officially moving by the end of October. The new site has been up (not necessarily running) for several months now, I just haven't had the time (or a camera) to give the much needed attention.

After Dinner...
Tonight the kids finished their dinner and begged to swim. I agreed and told them to get their suits on. Meanwhile Morgan and I are still chatting at the table when Jocelyn comes in asking where Beckton is?! Imagine that Beckton...MiSsInG? After a frantic search of the house and the street Morgan spotted his little arm! We've been remolding and apparently Beckton thought cuddling with the carpet pad in the corner was a good idea...this is how we found him...sound asleep! Silly boy...at least he stayed in the house today!

For Mema & Poppy....
Today Jocelyn wanted to wear the sundress you brought her back from your cruise! She is very happy and is dancing around like a ballerina right now!

CuTe KiDs...
We've been swimming lots, lots and lots lately and just thought I'd post a pic of how CUTE my kiddos are...this is mostly for the grandparents....and because I'm still working on the new site...hope everyone can see this (even if just for a few seconds)! Yes, the picture is a little fuzzy... I still NEED a new camera....

Spring Break 2009
Spring break has come and gone and throughout the week we traveled through five states (including Texas)! Below is a map of said trip! We traveled about 2,000 miles total (so glad we rented a car) and packed many sites and much fun into our week! We were lucky; the kids were pretty well behaved for the hours spent in the car, even without a DVD player (Beckton, our pyro, melted it up with the space heater). Beckton came down with a light cold which allowed him to sleep the majority of the time...Although my camera has decided to slowly retire on me, I was able to capture much of our adventures... although some are a bit fuzzy!
SPRING BREAK ADVENTURES!
Friday, March 13th (N.Texas to Hot Springs, Arkansas)
Weather was rainy...We pulled Jocelyn from school early and pounded the road. We traveled from North Texas to Hot Springs, Arkansas. We checked into a historic downtown Hot Springs Hotel, The Springs, nestled against the beautiful mountains. We dined at local restaurant, Fusions, then hit the sack after a long day!
Saturday, March 14th (Hot Springs, AR to Siloam Springs)
Weather was decent, overcast but no rain... Morgan enjoyed a hot mineral soak at the Quapaw Bath House while the kids and I enjoyed a chance to sleep in. We checked out of our historic hotel and ventured through town eying all the horse racing fans, very entertaining, so many people for the horses. We had a lite lunch at a local eatery, Dixie Cafe, then returned to downtown to tour and hike! We hike in Hot Springs National Park, which was beautiful. We climbed all 300+ stairs at the Mountain Tower, it was decided the munchkins should earn the privilege of a view from the tower, although reluctant (and begging to take the elevator) they climbed and were humbled (from exhaustion and the view)! We filled our water bottles with the free Hot Springs water. It was so neat; there were people coming from all over...hours away...with pickups full of empty gallon jugs, filling them up and taking them home. It was GOOD water! We walked bathhouse row and toured and old bathhouse turned museum, Fordyce Bathhouse/Museum, such a neat tour. Everything was preserved and you could really picture how things worked!
FYI-This is a good website for pictures of everything we saw, there are numbered links (1-5) just under the header of different attractions: http://www.terragalleria.com/parks/np.hot-springs.html
On our way out of town we stopped at a rock/crystal shop, Boxers Crystals and the we picked out: a Mexican geode, some crystal, fiber optic crystal wands (selenite), polished coral and Beckton picked three mini-marble puppies...they kids were thrilled. We made it to Siloam Springs (OK and AR, it's on the boarder)!
