Bird Houses

So Aaron cleaned out the garage on Saturday and while doing so found so bird seed I had bought like a year ago to make bird feeders with and never did. So Saturday night Aaron got out all the materials and the Cs stayed up late Saturday night putting them together. They had so much fun making these and I'm pretty sure Carson ended up with way more peanut butter in his mouth than on his bird feeder. 

Well the kids were so excited about putting them up in their trees. Camilla started running down the street yelling at the birds, "hey bird, come back, I have food for you." It was so adorable. But not birds came. 

Well Sunday morning we were eating breakfast and what should we see? Several birds in our trees. The kids were SO excited. It was pouring rain and they were still eating the seeds and hopefully building a nest. 

You can see the red tail sticking out the side. 

And just because I love Carson so - he tried on this hat at a toy store - "why am i not flying?"

This is just how he rolls. :) 

Rain, rain go away...

Okay not really, I know we need the rain but its been what? 2 weeks straight of rain and the end is no where in sight. 3 cancelled soccer games, fun activities cancelled at school, and don't even get me started on the no recess thing. All this rain has led to some of the following at our house:

Playing outside anyways. Just take off your clothes please. 

Muggy runs and a wet trail around Town Lake. 

Necessary Sonic happy hour runs. 

Brookey and I just watching the rain come down. 

Some lazy mornings. 

I also avoided the grocery store for a week because I dreaded carrying my groceries out into the rain. I never remember getting this much rain ever. But I try to remember all the people who are praying for rain. It has been a good, ground soaking rain. Maybe in June we will see the sun. :) 

Final Field Trip

Carson had his last field trip of the school year. How can this be the last week of school? How can be my boy be a first grader almost??? I'm dying here. But he had so much fun at the park. I went at the end and talked to him for a bit and gave him a ride back to school where they were going to watch a movie and eat popsicles. Kindergarten is the life. 

Book Character Day

Carson had a little book character parade at this school. He was the cutest Harry Potter ever. 

Of course he wasn't the only Harry Potter. His two best buds also dressed up as HP. 

Love them.

I promised this kid a waterfall

And I was determined to deliver. We didn't let the rain or mud stop us. We set out for the exact same hike but this time we were ready! 

A stop at the pond to check our the turtles and ducks. 

We found lots of water this time. It was so pretty. 

Crossing the stone bridge. The kids loved this part. They were such good little hikers. 

And the waterfall in all her glory. Luckily there were actually a few waterfalls but this was the biggest. Aaron and I want to come back and go swimming here it was that deep and beautiful. Josie was definitely treading water and loving every second of it. It was not very crowded because of all the rain and we pretty much had this part of the trail to ourselves so she go to be leash less. 

Just one more for good measure because I so love these people. 

Halfway through the hike we found out Carson's soccer game was canceled so we ran back down the trail to our car to rush home, rinse off mud, throw all the muddy shoes, towels and clothes in the garage, change and make the drive to San Antonio to the temple. It was a perfect start to my Mother's Day weekend. 

The Stars at Night

So Carson had his Kindergarten and first grade musical performance and the theme was all about Texas. He did square dancing, sang the Yellow Rose of Texas and of course, clap, clap, clap, clap deep in the heart of Texas. 

He was the cutest cowboy ever! 

Getting ready for the square dance. 

Front row. :) 

Just a little video of our boy singing. 

He had an excellent cheering section. Camilla loved watching him and cheered so loud for him the whole time. 

Fun, fun, followed by cheeseburgers, french fries and milk shakes for our boy who did so good. 

Little Miss B

Little Miss B just thinking she is one of the big kids. She joined right in on the little party one of the girls in Camilla's dance class had after class. She got her cookie, marched over to the bench and sat right down with the big girls. 

And nursery! I can't believe it. She just walks right in and sits down at the table for snacks. She seems to really like it. 

Still loves those fingers.
