Spring Break

This scary animal is staring at me.


So much sisterly love that I can't stand it!!! They were very hungry at this point and waiting for lunch.
Connor is thoroughly entranced with the Houston Zoo. Kate is wondering why does Dad have to keep taking pics.

Jaylen and Kate with Dad in the background. Oops, that is the elephant. Shane knows I love him.

Kate with another great face.

It has been spring break here in Texas. We didn't do too much because Shane is now writing a book. Can you believe it!!! But this will make more sense. It is a book about Utah Football!!! A book company is writing a book about a lot of colleges' football programs. Some guys up at the U recommended Shane. What were they thinking? Just kidding.

We did take one day for Houston and the Houston zoo. Our kids weren't that impressed.
Reason #1
It was very very crowded.
Reason #2
"There are no gorillas!" Jaylen
Reason #3
"There are no penguins!" Kate
Reason #4
Some of my kids think they are too old for a zoo. (Connor) But he was a very good sport. He always is.
But we had fun. Why? Because we were with each other.

TEXAS BLUEBONNETS
On the way home we found a beautiful field of Bluebonnets. They were everywhere. It was gorgeous. I hope this weather lasts forever. We don't know what we are getting into because we weren't living here last year at this time. The weather is absolutely perfect right now, but we keep thinking - "How long will this last?" I hope for a long long time. We do not want the heat like we moved into last July quite yet.

That is just unbelievable!

Cute kids with cute flowers.
