Dallas Part 2

We really had a blast while we were in Dallas...

NRH2O  Water Park was just awesome.  We had a blast and it was a perfect pick for all the kids because they could do pretty much every ride even the largest water coaster, which was a blast I think I was more afraid then the girls.  Infact I almost turned back but seeing the girls do it gave me courage, thanks girls.  And I had to be brave for them too. :)  We also got to have dip in dots which are awesome.  And we had a blast with Aunt shauna and Uncle Brice in the lazy river and the wave pool and racing slides, Cloe was a little taller and got to do some of the scary slides she went on the straight drop down slide which I wouldn't even do so I'm proud of her she was very brave and having a blast.  Paige was also very brave the first thing she said after we got done with the water coaster was "I want to do that again."  She and I screamed the whole way down a highlight of the day!  Dakota was independent and wanted to ride the lazy river by herself and ride the waves be herself and she did a good job too, she loved that coaster too!

Aunt Shauna's goal was to get favorite Aunt while we were there and sorry other Aunties she did a good job getting there.  She read then great books every night.  She made pancakes and corn dogs...which were a hit.  Thanks Aunt Shauna for everything we had a blast.

We ate at a really good mexican restaurant, the food was good the service was good and it was just a really nice place.  The girls got cowgirl hats for their texas souvenir.  We drove by the Dallas texas temple, and we drove downtown and got to see the big city including the place where Kennedy was shot that was really neat to get to see.

The baseball game was a blast.  We even got a couple foul balls in our group.  One went right over the finger tips of the person in front of us and then landed right in aunt shauna's lap and then she gave it to the girls which was super sweet they loved it.  We even got it signed at the end of the game.  And then the girls earned uncle bucks by collecting all the used plastic cups at the end of the game.  Dakota didn't want to get any and Paige didn't want to hold hers so Dakota held them and they split the bucks.  Thanks Uncle Brice. :)

The Girls also got to go turtle and fish hunting while Shauna and I went shopping.  We all just had fun.

I love dakota's face in this picture like "oh man I wish I got the fish."

She looks so happy I love it!

Uncle Brice is sooooo "happy" too!  What a great time!!

Dallas Trip Part 1

 We had a lot to do to plan for our road trip to Dallas, TX.  I was busy getting things to do and plans charted out.  Paige tried on hats for the trip and we forgot to bring them, thank goodness she was still tall enough for the water park.

 On our way we stayed at the country inn and Suites in Amarillo, TX it was a very nice hotel.  The girls thought we were in a castle.  I love this picture of Kota and I.

 We got to stop at Cadillac Ranch and it was awesome we even brought spray Paint and we all loved legal Spray Paint on vehicles. 

 Paige got her hand and got the Chicken Pox. :)

 Cloe was spreading the Red Paint.

 Paige decided to try again, This time she Sprayed Cloe's Hair Pink. :)

 Kota was all over the place and couldn't stop talking about how much she loved it, Should I be worried? :)

 We had to represent our state.

 It was awesome.

 I was so happy to finally find this restaurant.  Best BBQ ever.  Even for a Small and little bit scary garage feeling ma and pa kind of place.  The food was awesome.  I was so happy to find it because for some reason my map said it was in Colorado, thank goodness it wasn't and we found it day 2 instead of day 1 it was well worth the wait.  The place we stopped the first day didn't even compare, houser house your going down.

We finally made it!!! It was so good to see Brice and Shauna.  Aunt Shauna was so smart and she had the cooler ready with food for us to head down to the pool for dinner and swimming what a nice way to end the day and start our time in Dallas with them.  We played Marco Polo and Smear the Queer which I didn't really appreciate when I was the queer.  What a nice place they have!

TBall and Coach Pitch

Cloe wasn't quite sure that she wanted to do Baseball this year but after some Practice with some pitches she was confident enough to try it without a Tee this year. And she did great, she got some great hits.

 Kota knew she wanted to play from the beginning and had a Ball. :)

They both Played very well and had a great time.  Paige enjoyed the park and other little friends to visit with.  (In the last picture of Cloe you can see the ball if you look closely on the right going between first and second.)

May Pics Missed

 "I don't want to take a picture" and "okay I'll smile if you make me"  Ha too Funny!  My Birthday was a lot of fun Brent and I took a Get away to Billings for the night and then came back to a wonderful Chocolate Cake made by my friend Cassie and my great girls who made me a wonderful sign and my wonderful hubby for my Ipad which I love and would never have bought myself.  I also had a great Mother's Day!  I have great kids and a Great Hubby, Great Friends and Great Family!

 We also had a great trip to Casper enjoyed seeing Friends and Family.  We saw off my Sister Andy for her Move to Little Rock.  I wish her the best she's awesome.

 This is the most awesome picture of me with my best buds from school.  How awesome we all had girls within months of each other.

We had a nice BBQ in the Park despite the saint bernard that tried to kill us ;)  And some great Garage sale finds this weekend.  Great Trip!

Days of 49

 Rodeo and Rodeo Princess Auditions. It was a lot of fun.  I found out really fast that my kids no longer want to sit with me, that being with friends is more fun and that when an officer comes around the drunk people get really nervous and quiet.

The Parade was also a blast the girls wanted to be rodeo queens in the Kiddie Parade.  It was a super hero theme and I agreed because they are a super hero at our house.  It was Kota who came out first in her Cowgirl hat with her tiara on top and I thought it was so cute I had to agree.  And I made them Ribbon sashes to go with it. We had a blast!

End of the school year

I got to go on kota's field trip, we went to the museum in Worland and then we went to the park and ate our picnic lunch and then to Cassie's for animals and cookies!  We had a great day, and I had fun with her and her friends.  Then I met Cloe later her class went to the bank, it wasn't quite as exciting but I loved how excited she was to have me there. :)

Paige and her friends on the girls awards day.

Cloe getting her awards!  She has made great progress this year!  Way to go Cloe!!  Kota also got some but it came home with her so "it wasn't a real award". But she also has done a great job this year she has read a level two book today with little help.  Great job Kota!!

Riding lessons

Cloe and Kota have gotten to trot.  Cloe just started back up she was nervous but caught up pretty fast.  Kota was on her own in the round pin battling rocky to stay near the rail she did pretty good.  She's also started barrels.

Kota and rocky

Cloe and thunder

Paige even got to ride around on rocky.
