Spring Break Fun

We just finished up our Spring Break! Marching along towards summer - I CAN'T believe it! We have just a little more than 2 months to go and then my firstborn baby is in HIGH SCHOOL. Hold me.

Finally hung this up in Paige's room - she got it for her 5th birthday ha!
It promptly fell down that night and is now on her floor...so...
I need to get it up again. But still, I did it once!

Monday we went on a nature walk and then had lunch with some of our besties! We had 5 girls and they had a great time!

Paige, Drew, Keaton, Brently, and Brinley

Me and Rhonda

SO CUTE!

Tuesday we met some of our school friends who moved in the fall. We miss these girls a lot and had a great time playing at the park.

Maya, Drew, Paige, Raina, and Aayana

Brent got extra responsibility with the family whose dogs he walks. The family was away for the weekend so Trent took care of one of the dogs. He did a great job!



The kids spent Wednesday - Friday with my parents - they hosted 'Cousin Camp' and had all 6 grandkids. Best grandparents ever!! {Well, tied with Brent's parents - we definitely hit the lottery!}


Had to share my favorite flower - nature is doing her thing and Texas is GORGEOUS.

When I got the kids back on Friday, we picked up Drew's bestie for a sleepover and went shopping!

Where did my baby go? She looks so grown here!

Drew and Zara bought matching outfits to 'twin'. Can you tell them apart?

Little Bit got a sleepover in our bed. Is there room for me?

And we ended our break with some backbend practice ha!



We had a good spring break and are ready for it to truly feel like spring - it's been COLD the last few days! Also I promise Brent and Trent were around the whole break, ha!

Let's Talk About...TV!

Y'all are probably confused by that title, but I'm actually watching some shows worth sharing. Who am I?!?

First up - 1923 [Paramount Plus]! Yellowstone is a show everyone I know is watching...but I just couldn't get into it. I did watch 1883 because I love Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. I enjoyed the show but found it slow. I was really interested in 1923 because hello Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren?! Yes, please! And this one DOES NOT disappoint! It is FANTASTIC, and I'm so excited there is going to be a second season. I have LOVED this!!


Next up...OF COURSE Ted Lasso [Apple TV]! Season 3 started this week, and you can bet Brent and I watched it. I didn't think the season premiere was the best, but I am so excited for this season. I have seen some interviews about how this is the 'conclusion for this story'. So is this a series finale season or what? That doesn't exactly sound like THE LAST SEASON?!?!


After watching the season premiere for Ted Lasso, Brent and I decided to try Shrinking [Apple TV]. Brent and I have watched 5 episodes, and it is really good! It's a comedy with a little bit of darkness, but it's witty and good. PLUS it's more Harrison Ford! Can't go wrong there.


Brent watched Only Murders in the Building [hulu] a few months ago and thought I would enjoy it, so we started it together. We're trying to get it finished up before season 3 starts - which is adding some major additional star power - I think it's going to be great!


I also watched Secrets of Playboy [hulu] and it was absolutely BANANAS. I feel so bad because I used to watch {and love} Girls Next Door, so to watch this and see how sick and twisted Hugh Hefner and the Playboy empire were...was very upsetting. This documentary is done so well and it's so good...but very hard to watch.



This last one...I'm 15 years late to the party on, but I am finally watching Friday Night Lights. What's funny is they filmed this in the Austin area and a lot of it was filmed in my hometown, where I was living at the time. They used our gym, football field, our coaches were extras, they used our school colors and mascot...and I never watched it! It is a fun high school show, and I'm definitely enjoying it!!


I know this isn't a huge list of shows I'm recommending, but it is for me! Anything fun you're watching I should add to my list?!
