Spring happenings

What an exciting last couple of weeks.... And I have not written about any of them. So I am doing a quick caught up.

First I can't believe this weather. It is sunny one day and a complete down pour the next but I must say that it sure gives the grandkids some great places to play and get dirty.





Speaking of playing I love it when my kids all play together. The other day McKenzie wanted someone to come out and hit the volleyball with her. It was awesome to look out and see Brinkley, Paige and Parker come out and join the fun. (Sorry Cody and Robyn were not around.)




Speaking of playing with friends...Parker went to the dance with Aubrey Scott. She is a darling girl and the theme for them was the 80's. They look so cute... Well she looked so cute I am not so sure if you could say Parker looked cute.

I know Briley wasn't so sure about him.


We also got to go to Texas to see Richy's basic training graduation. I went with Brinkley and Briley and Richy's mother, Valeen. It was way fun and Richy of course, graduated in the top 10%! I never doubted you Richy!


It was fun to see Briley riding the air plane for the first time and she did so great.


When we got there people had some really professionally signs made for the "airmen" but we were new to this and didn't know so we hurried and made up a sign "Burrows" style and had Briley hold it up as he ran by in the Airman run.

We had a hard time finding him but never fail we did it on the second time around.


It was fun to see their cute little family be united after being away for so long. Briley wasn't quite sure about him for a minute. But it only took a second and she was glad to be back with her dad.


It didn't take long for the excitment to wear off for Briley. You can only be the hit of the show for so long.
Richy and I celebrated our birthdays while we were down there together. We ate lunch on the river walk for his birthday at the Rain Forest Cafe and Valeen made my birthday a hit by decorating our hotel room with whatever she could find....lip stick... and what more could I ask for than a Texas shaped waffle for my birthday. Thanks Valeen.


Valeen and I did get to go to the Alamo with Briley. We had a good time and learned a lot about this historic place. And we ate yummy ice cream.
We had a great time. Thanks Brinkley for letting me come with you.

Who wouldn't want to spend time with this adorable sweet baby. Good times.
