RJ and I took off last week for a visit with my Mom and Dad! Dave was working and Miles and Katrina were still in school last week . Their Spring Break started this week. My sister and her four adorable kids were in Dallas too on their Spring Break so I got to spend wonderful time with my niece Isla and nephews Finley, Brogen and Amden. They are busy busy and so much fun. Mom took us to Six Flags Kid Land. The boys were in heaven. RJ and Isla even got to ride the train! My sister and I got to spend an evening out together which we had not done in years...probably since before Finley was born! I also got to see two friends from college I had not seen in years! It was a great visit and as always went by way too fast!
Our babies are getting bigger before our eyes, so of course, LOTS of pictures.
Enjoy.
