Grandpa Steve & Jeanma's visit

We took them to visit Fort Worth Stockyards and saw so many things.
Horses, horses and horses Riding up and down the street.



Alex is getting ready for his steer ride.



They were over looking the pin that held about 30 steers.

Grandpa, Jeanma, Kathy, Mark, Alex, Tony and Aliana all experienced the human cow maze.  I opted out of this activity.  It makes me so tense to try so hard to get no where. 
Alex and Tony made it through in about 45 mixtures. (No thank you)



On our way to the cowboy museum.

Checking out how cowboys live on the trail.

Taking their own stall.

Looking at the types of covered wagons that were used.

Aliana was telling Tony, "After you my majesty" and bowing to him willing opening the door for him.



We were getting ready to leave when a cowboy and his longhorn walked so close to us we could have touched the animal.

Once at home and after quiet time, they all played and flew in the pool.



I think Grandpa had a lot of fun, so much that Mark had to tell him that they were done.

2013 VBS -Wild Wild West

We had a Ripen Roaring Good Time with Jesus this year.

 
 
The 1st day, the kids dressed up to look the part of the Wild West.
 
I handled the preschool crafts. 
This day they made cowboys hats.
 
Tony's class.
 
Aliana's class.
(I couldn't get a picture of Alex this whole week since he wasn't part of the preschool center anymore & I held a class.)
 
They were having some down time afterwards to allow me to clean up my room and prepare for the next day.


 
After the week was over, I was able to explore the church to see what it looked like.  So we captured some pictures before it was taken down.


 
Aliana is Alex's horse.
 
Everyone enjoyed  a snack and a veggie tales movie while the mommas ran around tearing down the decorations and putting the preschool classrooms back together.
Until next year VBS....

Celebrating with friends

Happy Birthday to my 6 year old.
After church we had about 20 people over to celebrate Tony's birthday army style.

 
Our good friends plus our babysitter.



 
Opening up his presents. 



 
They played pin the helicopter to the target and now onto the water balloon game outside.
They all loved this game.



 
My friends ended up exploring the garden and jumping on the trampoline.

 
It was a great day!
