Adrien Loses His First Tooth!!!

Well...it happened, My Baby Boy LOST his FIRST TOOTH!! He discovered it was loose about a week ago, and has been obsessed about it ever since.  And today it finally came out, at school-during computers!!! He was so excited!! I was excited, but also a little sad.... This is the last first-tooth to ever be lost in our family :(  Adrien is growing up!! They are all growing up!!!  I wish I could remember every day, but I can't!! So that is why I hope to at least capture some moments in this blog....moments I would otherwise forget!!

New Car and VEGAS!!!

Only home from Spring Break for less than a week and already having to pack up again for VEGAS!!!  Our last traveling tournament of the season!!!

So, we have been car searching for awhile now... we went to some dealerships on Tuesday to look inside some cars for the first time.  We narrowed it down to either an Accord, Maxima or Camry.  David came home and was looking at Auto Trader online and found a Camry that looked great and met almost all of our requirements, and it was right here in town!!!  He called them and didn't get a call back until Thursday!!! So, we went and looked at it... and really liked it!! We decided to buy it!!! WOW!! So all of this happened hours before we were leaving for Vegas. We literally drove it into the garage and then headed off to VEGAS!!

VEGAS was a blast!!!  Samone played great..but it wasn't enough. They lost all three games!! It is getting rough!!!  We got home Sunday night....relieved!! I think we are all ready to be home for awhile with no traveling!!!!

Spring Break!!

Another amazing Spring Break with our little family!!!  We left on Saturday, March 12th and drove to Pagosa Springs, CO!! For the most part, the kids were great and the trip went smooth!! Thank goodness for portable DVDs and DS's!! We drove to Mark and Dee's condo!! They had a yummy dinner of enchiladas waiting for us. It was tough to get the kids to bed cuz they were so excited to be in a new place. But we had to get up bright and early to head to Wolf Creek!!!  It was ALSO Texas's Spring Break... so we were surrounded by Texans!!!! And, unfortunately, they were all beginner skiers...so it added a bit of a tension to the whole trip!! But we still had a blast!! The kids are all amazing skiers!!!  I struggle to keep up with them all, but they are so sweet and patient with me!! Samone especially!! I even feel like she pretends to struggle a little just to make me feel better!!!  The worst part of the day was when I got totally plowed and knocked over in line by an inexperienced skier!! That SuCKED!!!

But anyhow, after our first day, we were exhausted!! We headed back to the condo and Dee had dinner waiting for us again!! What a treat!!  We showered, ate and relaxed!!!

Up early again, and off for our second day of skiing!!!! Much better day today!! We knew the slopes better and where to ski!! It was a lot of fun! This time we had dinner at a restaurant and then headed to the condo to get packed up. We decided to head to Durango in the morning to ski at Purgatory. It was tough, but we did it!!!  We were up early and on the road by 7:30am!! We arrived at Purgatory at 9am! It took us awhile to get dressed and ready, cuz the kids left pages in their PJ's!!! But this day was absolutely THE BEST!! What an AMAZING day of skiing!!!  The runs were great, the weather was great!!! I was skiing the best I have ever skied!!!

We headed back into town and had  super doper yummy dinner at STEAMWORKS!!!  Then we headed to our hotel!!!  It was late, almost 8pm!!!  So we got in our jammies and cuddled up in bed and watched Ramona and Beezus!! It was great to finally sleep in the next morning!!!

Leaving vacation is always hard!!  We had breakfast at the hotel then got ready to leave. We had to stop in downtown Durango and just walk around a bit.  Our next stop was Gallup for dinner.  Then on to home!!!!  Home Sweet Home!! Well, for a few days.... we are off to Vegas next weekend for another soccer tournament!!!

Just a day!!!

Well, we finally had one of those great days with nothing to do, so all the kids had a playmate!! Adrien went over to his "best buddies" house, Alex!! Kendall went to her friend Eliza's house!!   Samone's friend Sierra came over to our house!! They had a fun time! They played outside, had some pizza, made cookies then went on a bike ride!! Short bike ride...they came back with tires covered in mud!  Then Emily dropped Spencer off for about an hour while she took Eliza and Kendall to the park to practice some softball!!! After Emily dropped of Kendall and Beckie dropped off Adrien, the four kids decided to have a lemonade stand!! It was already 4:30pm. I let them do it, but thought they were crazy!! No one was going to buy lemonade this late in the day and on a chilly day!! Well, guess what!!??  They had 7 customers!!! And they made $8.50!!! It was a fun day!!!  After Sierra left, we had Sloppy Joe's and watch a movie!!! I love these days!!!
