Last weekend, Andy went to San Antonio for the Hall Organ Competition and won first place! We were so excited that Sarah, Bobo and I made a little banner for Andy. We had so much fun coloring it and marking it up with musical notes and symbols. I was so grateful to have their creative genius and help there! Congratulations Andy--we love you and are so proud of you!!!
Today, Karri (my best friend growing-up!) and Darcy (her beautiful little baby girl!), took us to the Dallas Zoo! The weather was completely perfect and made for a wonderful and fun day! Sadly, our camera can eat batteries like I can eat through a tub of Blue Bell, so we weren't able to get as many pictures as we would have liked, but that just gives us more reason to come back in the future for more great photo ops!
There was a little splash zone river for the kids and Addy was so excited to get in the water until she stepped on a stick--you should have seen how fast she got out of that water!
Addy relates everything in life to her favorite princess, Cinderella, so she was so happy to see chickens and horses "like Cinderella" as she says. She was also excited to see and learn that elephants have their "business" too and after he was done she said "change" (for diaper change) and then kept asking for "more more please!" Very cute! Thanks again Karri and Darcy for such a wonderful day full of new sights and adventures!
Here are some pictures from the Cowtown 5K we did last Saturday! It was such a fun experience! There was over 18,000 at the race and the energy and adrenaline was so contagious!! While we (Amy, Rick and I) were out running the race, Andy was so great to take the kids around the expo for some fun events. Sarah won a hula-hooping contest and the prize she received was a "Megamind" DVD!!!! We were all so excited for her!!!! After finishing it was great to see a big Blue Bell truck passing out ice cream. I think had I known that would be at the finish line, I might have run faster to get there! :-)
