Arboretum Fun!

Last week, during some of the lovely weather, I decided this year would be a good year to get a membership to the Dallas Arboretum!  And we had a fun day there! 

Here's one of a very few pics of Luke looking at the camera :)

 

 Anna dancing on the bridge.

We took our picnic blanket & lunch and ate by the flowers.

Luke hadn't eaten much when he decided to run around instead. 

They did at least stop and smell the flowers. :D

This one sums up Luke right now... happy to run free!



Soccer Time Again

Anna said she wanted to do soccer again... and first game was Saturday!  I had to miss since it was at 1pm - Luke's nap time!  But luckily Mark got some good pics for me!

Isn't this a great face? :)

A Gorgeous Day!

When I saw how great today's weather was going to be, I decided it would be a picture day and lunch at Babe's after! :)  Here's a few shots I got. 

Sassy!

Oh, brothers!

My beautiful daughter!

Luke was very upset after I called this a barn. He really wanted to go inside to see a cow.  

'Choo-choo!!!!'

Happy Valentine's Day!

Monday, we celebrated Valentine's with our playgroup and got a cute pic with Amanda's decorations.

 Tuesday, I made Anna some fancy heart braids.  She loved them!

This was a fun idea I saw on Pinterest that I just had to copy!  I tried to do one with Luke, but he wasn't so cooperative. :)

A friend snapped this at school of Anna and two of her best buddies, Sloane & Ava.

Mark & Anna went on a Valentine's date to the hockey game, so since we were all wearing red, we snapped a quick family shot. :)  Hope you all had a lovely Valentine's!

This and That

Saturday, I had the pleasure of visiting with 3 of my dear college friends - Tami, Melissa & Stana.

 Here's a cute one of Mark & Luke ready for the Superbowl.

Anna and I finally worked on her room and got her polka dots up.  She LOVED putting them on the wall!  

Valentine Pics!

Here's a few Valentine pics of the kids.  Luke is not in to looking at me while I take pics, but I finally gave him a sucker and got a couple. :)

Trip to Sint Maarten & Anguilla

Mark and I had a lovely little vacation to the island of Sint Maarten (that's the name on the Dutch side where we stayed.  It's St. Martin on the French side.)  Here's a beach shot close to where we ate dinner one night.

One day we took a ferry ride over to the island of Anguilla.  Here's where we ate lunch by the beach and then we just read and relaxed by the gorgeous beach! 

And here is a shot of our fabulous rental car.  Here we are on the French side of St. Martin in the city of Marigot.

This is at the foot of the hill up to Fort Louis in Marigot.

 Fort Louis

This is the Guavaberry Emporium in Philipsburg on the Dutch side.

The last three are at Maho beach where we had lunch and watched the planes land just before we had to go to the airport and fly back.  Some of them land REALLY low! :)
