We have a tooth!

 Check out the pearly white!

2nd Grade Musical

 Lana had her 2nd Grade Musical on Thursday.  Unfortunately Paul had to be in McAllen for a meeting so I bravely went by myself.  Sadly by the time we got to the auditorium, all the seats were taken and we ended up on a cafeteria table.  I was able to see Lana a bit, but she couldn't see us.

 Tanner wasn't too happy about not being able to see but he was happy playing on the iphone.

Lana's class were all dressed up as monkeys.  They were so cute and did such a great job.  I am super impressed with their music teacher.  Lana has been singing their program songs every day for the last few months.  I could pretty much sing a long with the whole program.  :)

Weekend Getaway

 Paul and I asked Tutu if she would come watch the kids for a couple of days while we (mostly I) got a much needed break from the kiddos.  We drove up to Conroe (about 2 hours north of our house) and stayed at La Torretta.  It is so pretty up there!  I thought all of Texas was brown and ugly but apparently it's just Houston and the coastal areas.  We had an awesome view from our room.

 Along with a suspicious van parked on the beach.

We went and ate at the Salt Grass Steak House.  Holy Cow.  Our appetizer was amazing!  Fried onions, crab meat, pico de gallo and avocados served with tortilla chips.  For dessert, a skillet baked chocolate chip cookie, topped with a brownie, topped with a scoop of vanilla icecream, drizzled with salted caramel.  It was awesome!

 Thank you Tutu for coming!!  We love you and miss you already!!!

Daddy's Home!

 Paul made it home just in time for Easter weekend.  We were all incredibly happy!

The kids loved dying easter eggs.  We tried dying them with Kool Aid instead of the vinegar mixture (I can't stand the vinegar smell!).  And it worked!  We didn't have purple or yellow but it smelled great!

For FHE on Monday we played "Life".  I thought it might be too much for the kids, especially since it can be kind of a long game.  But they loved it!  All Tanner wanted was a kid and he never did get one.  Lana kept suing him for all his money.  Paul lost his career and got a low paying job and pretty much went bankrupt.  I pretty much cleaned house, and I was trying to lose!  :)
