TEXAS life...

First of all, we are official! We have Texas license plates! (I removed a few letters and numbers to be a good, safe blogger)


Last weekend, Logan's friend had a birthday and we got to go out to a ranch and ride horses and 4 wheelers and pet kitties. It was a very windy day, but the kids had a blast enjoying true Texas country.

Spencer couldn't stop smiling on that horse!


We're thinking of changing Logan's middle name to TEX...

Hailey and her friend Sadie ready to go 4 wheelin!


Lauren loving the new little kitten


This is kind of a catch up post, but at Easter time, we went to the Arboretum in Dallas when we were visiting family there and it was gorgeous! If you are ever in Dallas around spring time, I would say definitely go! The flowers were amazing, there was a big outdoor kids' concert, craft activities, a petting zoo, lots of photo ops, just a perfect, family friendly place.

Who is that gorgeous mom in all the pictures?

Melissa said...

ok, I taught Hyrum how to leave a comment on an old friends blog, and now he thinks he's a pro. He may just show up on your blog~watch out. :)

what a good hubby! I don't think Randy even knows what a blog is yet!!! Yikes!!!

Texas plates huh....sniff sniff...I guess it means you are official. And I still don't like it!

Your Texas friends house looks like a blast!!! I am sure your kids loved it there!!! Makes me homesick!

Kristine said...

How fun! I love Hyrum's post too! You are real Texan's now! I am just waiting for the Texan accent to show up in you and your kids to make the transition complete!:)

Everytime I see pictures from Dallas with everyone it makes me think we need to move out that way :)! Looks like y'all had a blast, and that your kids are destined for rodeo greatness!

Melissa, you are so good to change your plates. We get grief here because we still have our Idaho plates, but I figure since we are going back and in 7-8 months we are not changing now, and it gives us an excuse to drive like we don't know where we are going. By the way cute pictures. Your family is getting big.

PS. Going against everyone else I voted for David Cook. He is from Missouri, but I do love Archuletta too.

I love TEX! As long as you're changing the license plates, might as well go for the names, too! Cute pictures, Melissa - I want to move to Texas now - or at least come and visit! :)

Gorgeous is right Hyrum! :P What a fun birthday party! My boys would LOVE to ride on a horse! I love little Spencer's smile while he's on the horse. I bet Lauren and Hailey wanted to take home a kitten. :P
