Fun Friday~ bowling & the fair

What a fun day!  Austin has been wanting to go bowling since his birthday, so we went- just the two of us!  To get the full experience, we even ate lunch there!  We had a great time together!  I love my little dates with him! :)

That evening we surprised Austin and met friends (Jared, Leah, Reid, and Grant) at the Grapevine Main Street Days festival!  We had never been before- it was a big deal!  We rode a lot of rides, ate a ton of greasy fair food (funnel cake included), did some shopping, etc!  By the time we left my stomach was a mess from all the junk food from the day!  But it was worth it!  

Ready to go throw away some money!

Last time we went to the fair, Daddy got to feeling bad after a few of the rides.  So this time he stuck with bumper cars and Mommy got the "dizzy" rides!

Big Bugs Year End Program

This was a very special weekend!  Gigi was able to visit for a few days on her way to spend time with her sisters- so she was able to go to one of Austin's tball games AND his end of the year program at preschool!

A few pics before the program

The program was great- and Austin did such a good job!  He sang the songs and knew all the movements!  The Big Bugs class did two songs- and I totally teared up for both of them!  After they performed we went into another area and watched a slideshow and then each student was presented with a certificate and a gift (a new bible!)  Then we all went to the classroom for cookies and drinks!

It was a night of mixed emotions for me- proud of how well Austin had done, but also sad that it was our LAST program at SCP!  :(

HoPpY EaStEr!

We had a great Easter this year!  Mat, Shanna, and the girls came over for lunch!  They stayed for the afternoon and the kids played, hunted eggs in the backyard, decorated Easter cookies, watched a movie, etc- so much fun!

Kindergarten Round Up

The time has come.  I have come to the realization that no matter what, Austin IS starting kindergarten in August!  :(  Today was kindergarten roundup at his new elementary school- Shady Grove!  Basically we just went in and completed all of the paperwork, but it was good for him to visit the school for the first time.  We will go back in May for orientation to get a tour and meet all 4 kindergarten teachers!  How is he already starting school?  sniff sniff.

Losing this 1st tooth!

It finally happened- Austin lost his 1st tooth!  His tooth had been loose for over a month.  This morning I heard him call for me over the monitor… I told him he could get up, but he asked me to come upstairs to his room.  I was worried that something was wrong, but it turns out he was just nervous that he would swallow this tooth! He had pushed it out with his tongue and it was sitting in his mouth!  So we got up and took pictures, made a big fuss, celebrated with lunch at McDonalds (yuck.)  

Austin was very excited about his first visit from the tooth fairy- and she did not disappoint!  She left notes, money, gifts, and even a trail of "fairy dust"!  

Another tooth is already loose, and he's already talking about what the tooth fairy will bring next time.  YIKES.
