Spring Break 2021

Boogs and I visited D and the Jboys at their house for a couple of days during Spring Break 2021. D, J4, and I spent a couple of hours playing Beat That. It is a fun game of mini challenges, kind of like Minute to Win It.








The rest of the boys were more interested in getting in the river. The water was cold (I know that because I fell in) so they went kayaking instead of swimming.







It was fun hanging out and laughing with D and the Jboys for a couple of days. We wish they lived closer.

Salado Sculpture Garden and Jboys visits Summer 2020

 Boogs and I met D and the Jboys in Salado in May 2020. We often met in Salado at a little park. This time, we walked down to the Salado Sculpture Garden. Here are a few pics.


                                             










J3 came came home with us and spent a few days at our house.

We went hiking.
Made homemade cinnamon rolls.
Played Risk (I played too and beat them both)
Did a little exercise

Made marshmallow shooters and had a battle

Played a few games of pool.

Hung out in the hammocks for a while.

Cooled off in Lisa's pool
Had Chicken Fights on these fun chicken floats.
                                 

I'm pretty sure J3 went home a little tired. 

In June 2020, J2 came to visit for a few days. Boogs and J2 spent a few hours kayaking in Brushy Creek Lake Park. It was a beautiful sunny day but very hot.

                                               








Lisa let us cool off in her pool again.
This time, Lisa had added a giant toucan float to her pool to keep the chickens company.

Boogs and J2 had a cookie battle. One of them made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and the other made oatmeal raisin cookies. We put all the cookies in one container. It was like cookie roulette because it was hard to know which kind of cookie you would get.




The next morning we went to 85 Degree Bakery for breakfast. Yum! Love the milk buns.

J2 made fun of the shape of the bushes in the front yard. I told him he could "fix" them if he wanted to. So he did this and butchered them worse than I had.



Boogs certainly enjoys hanging out with the Jboys.

Mudstacle Race October 2019

 Every year, Boogs and I run in the Mudstacle Race sponsored by our school district. This year, 2019, J1 and J2 decided to run the race with Boogs. The Mudstacle is an obstacle race wher you will definitely get dirty. J1 took off fast. He wanted to WIN the race. Boogs and J2 ran it slower because they wanted to have fun on the obstacles. Here are a few pics from the day.








D and I usually meet in Salado to swap kiddos. The park there is right along the river and the boys like to hang out there and explore.
