Visit to Aggieland

We knew Saturday would be a beautiful day to be outside so we decided that it was time to take the boys to College Station to visit a few places we hadn't been to in a while and go to an Aggie Baseball game! My friend Shannon had recently taken her boys and I thought it was a great idea! I hadn't been since college. I just love the Texas A&M traditions at the baseball games...the fans are almost as entertaining as watching the team play. When you attend an Aggie baseball game, you can hear cheering, chanting, sounds effects and fans shouting random things from the stands. They love to give the other teams' pitcher a hard time. First we visited The Dixie Chicken for some yummy cheeseburgers, chicken strips and Tijuana fries (my favorite)...and made a stop at Texas Aggie Bookstore, where I used to work my first year in college. We showed the boys around campus and headed over to Olson field.

YEE HAW!!!

Thursday was Rodeo Day at the boys preschool...we saddled up in our rodeo gear for a fun day at school! On the line up for the day was a trailer ride, sack races, wagon races, stick horse races, a bean bag toss, and roping a steer. The boys loved the cowboy trail mix for a morning snack and hot dogs for lunch. The trail mix had M&Ms and cheeto balls in the mix, so this was probably Landon's favorite part of the day :) Those are two of his FAVORITE things! Of course both boys loved being able to wear their Cowboy boots for the day. They did not want to take them off.

We Love Gymnastics

I've been trying to get a few pictures of the activities Trent and Landon participate in, I never take very many! Anyway, here are a few pictures of Trent and Landon at Bill Austin Gymnastics, where they take classes once a week. They have a blast!

Swimming

The boys have been enjoying swim lessons at Houston Swim Club. Trent has been swimming for about 1.5 years and recently was promoted to Dolphin Class (2nd level) and Landon is a Goldfish (1st level). This means that Trent is beginning to focus more on learning strokes in the water and Landon is beginning to get more confident floating on his back. They really love to be in the water and enjoy their swim instructors.

Fun Run!

On Saturday Trent and Landon participated in their first 25 yard run for ages 2-4 at St. Laurence Church. They had so much fun stretching to prepare for the race, lining up to start the race and running to the finish line. They both received metals at the end and were so excited! Here are a few pics...

Boys Being Boys

This weekend we headed to a family reunion at Providence City for Jon's extended family (more pics to come later). We had a great time meeting with and visiting with extended family from Arkansas and around El Campo, TX. We even spent some time at the farm house in El Campo...here are a few pictures of the boys having fun on their ride ons.

Mardi Gras Parade

Trent and Landon's preschool had a Mardi Gras parade and Mommy decorated a wagon for the boys to ride in during the parade. They enjoyed throwing beads to their friends and seeing all the other wagon "floats".
