ARROWWOOD

What a great weekend!! We ended up at Arrowwood after Thumper Pond called Friday night and wanted us to reschedule (long story)..but we had a fantastic weekend with the Schwantz family! My kids are pretty timid when it comes to the water park activities...but we enjoyed sledding, swimming in the "normal" pool, and hanging out with family..here is a breakdown of the weekend:

NOT SO GOOD THINGS
thumper pond called to say rooms were not guaranteed (which ended up being a good thing!)

Austin and Katelynn not wanting to go down any slides.

Austin loving the slide for the last 1o minutes at the water park!

Katelynn throwing up this morning when she woke up.

only staying one night!

GOOD THINGS

Being able to stay at arrowwood instead!

BEAUTIFUL weather.

Sledding and having a blast!

swimming with floaties in the hotel pool and hot tub.

My nephew Eli taking me down the big waterslide and explaining every turn so I wouldn't be scared!! (i wonder where my kids get it?) :)

having a big livingroom to hang out and play games at night.

celebrating Brady and Eli's bdays!

Austin finally being brave enough to go down a few slides..better late then never, right?

Thanks Gpa Steve and Gma Connie for treating us to a fabulous weekend. We LOVED arrowwood!!

Hook Em Horns

I guess my Dad gave the Texas bookstore some good business!! Dad took a trip to Austin, TX to check out the plant that makes turf for the baseball/football field. They also got to check out a college that has the turf already. He said it was really interesting to see how it was made. We all decided none of us pale skin people look very good in this color...Craig and Austin were the only ones that could pull it off!!

MUSIC!!

Thanks to an idea from Erin's blog...I now have music on mine!! So, turn up your volumes when you read my posts! :)

I now feel like I accomplished something today...it probably shouldn't have taken me as long as it did!

Valentine's Date Switch....

This is the only picture I got of the weekend....but Heidi had a great idea to switch off date nights. We had the kids Friday night while Heidi and Joel went out. Eli is reading to everyone here...the kids had a great time playing. Saturday, after we all cheered on the Spud girls basketball team, Craig and I went to Chili's and had great food and drinks. We had fun opening Valentine's this morning (then more Valentine's at Sunday School) and a fun Valentine's pizza party at Gpa Bucky and Gma Penny's tonight!

.....I guess I need to realize I live in place where I cannot grill for the superbowl!! I still made hamburgers and hotdogs, but they had to be in the microwave and frying pan...not the same!
