Palin goes to Old McDonald's Farm

Palin had a blast while we were at the Rodeo. She got to make rice krispie treats with Grandma but would not eat them after making them. She doesnt like them.

 When we headed to the rodeo they headed to Old McDonalds farm to play for the day. They rode on the train, played on the playground and fed the animals.

 Last time that Palin was on a horse she screamed. Theses were little ponies so she felt safe, because she was all smiles. When we got back to my parents that night she even told me that a goat tried to eat her shirt! She thought that it was funny.

Houston Rodeo 2014

We headed to Houston this past weekend and went to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Toby and I took Cash while Palin stayed back with my parents and had her own day of fun going to Old McDonald's Farm. We got to the livestock show at lunch time and ate lunch.

 Cash opted for a footlong corn dog and I wanted a sauasge on a stick. After lunch we headed into the exhibit hall. Once we got in within the first 5 minutes we ran into Toby's uncle and cousin without even knowing that they were going to be there.  We spent the time 3 hours walking around looking at everything.

 One of Cash's highlights was getting to make his own rope. He got to pick out the colors and actually turn and make the rope. He was pretty excited. Once we were done with that about an hour later he decided that Palin needed one and we went back so he could make her one.

 Saturday was one of the day of the finals for the rodeo so we enjoyed getting to watch the rodeo. Once it was over we headed home and ate dinner a Chuy's in humble and then headed back to my parents. It was a long day but we had lots of fun.

St Patrick's Day Parade

Saturday was the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin. We headed over that morning to watch the parade from the front of the flower shop as it was the perfect spot to watch the parade. Palin insisted on getting to wear her hello kitty rainboots to the parade, and it rained! So she was prepared.

Colt was in town spending some time with Jon and Lois so the kids got play and watch the parade together. After the parade there were all kinds of activities going on downtown. Lois and the kids and me went on a carriage ride with horses around time. They kids thought that it was fun and enjoyed getting to go on it.

Family Fun Day

This week started Spring break and Toby and took off yesterday to do something fun with the kids. We headed out early and drove to Ft Worth for the day. We took them to Main Event. We got to go bowling. They had a really good time. Palin even got to use a plastic helper to put her ball on so that it would have enough power to go down the lane.

 Cash and I got to go and play Laser tag after we were done bowling. Palin was not tall enough, so Toby took her to play games in the arcade section while Cash and I played games.

We ate lunch at Fuddruckers, went to Academy and then went to the movies to see the Lego movie. We had a great day and the kids actually got along all day!

Palin Got Her Ears Pierced

We had been talking all week long about going and getting her ears pierced after ballet class on Saturday. I had been telling her that it would hurt for a minute like a shot and then it would be over and she would have pretty ears. She did really well and was really excited until we got there, and then she got a little worried. But the whole time she never cried till they actually did it and then she cried for about 2 minutes until my mom told her that she could go pick out some new earrings to put in, when the 6 weeks of leaving these are over. We let her go and pick out some really nice ones. I learned a long time ago that wearing cheap earrings never works, they cause your ear pain. We got her some sterling silver ones that are princess blingy crowns and are pink~ Palin picked them out. Grandma was excited to get buy them for her and Palin was excited to get princess crowns!

Even though she looks upset here, she loves them and did about 2 minutes after they pierced them.

Palin's Room is Finished

Mom and Dad came up this weekend and brought Palin's dresser that dad had repainted to match her room. He painted it all and added lots of different knobs that him and mom picked out from Hobby Lobby for it.  She was really excited about having her room complete. We spent most of Saturday getting it all decorated and set up.

 Mom had been working the last couple of weeks on her bedding for her bedroom and brought it up here. The only thing that we have left is her curtains and her big room in the new house will finally be complete.

Next up is Cash's room. I will start to post some pictures as we complete each room of the new house.
