Spring Break Fun

Even without being a teacher where I actually get a Spring Break, we did get to enjoy a little Spring Break fun. Last weekend, we went to Houston to celebrate Ryan's grandmother's 80th birthday. It was so great to be with Ryan's middle sister, who lives in Connecticut, and her two kids. We put all 7 of the kids (both sisters' kids, plus Karys) together for a picture and printed it and framed it as a gift from all of us. His sister, Amber, is the one who took the pics, but I managed to get a shot of the kids through the stair railing. The picture we actually gave her was taken of all the kids on the stairs, from the bottom of the stairs. We had the kids sitting on the stairs in order of age, with Karys sitting on the bottom step, which she is capable of doing. However, when none of the adults were paying attention, she lost her balance I guess and fell over and hit her head on the hardwood floor....before a picture was ever taken! Poor baby!! I figured we were done for, but we managed to cheer her up and got her in her cousin, Madison's, lap for some great pics. And thankfully the pictures were taken before her forehead got a little bruise on it and her eye got a little red! Here's that picture from the stairs:

Then last Tuesday, Karys and I drove up to Nacogdoches to spend the day with my college roommate and BFF, Stephanie. I don't have pictures from that, but we had a great time!

Karys and I made our way out again on Thursday, this time to Forney. My sister got engaged almost a month ago and while she was on Spring Break, she wanted to go look at wedding dresses. We had a great time together and she picked an amazingly beautiful dress! After returning from shopping, we took Karys down to the playground in their neighborhood for some fun. The girl loves the swing!! Here are some fun pics of that, plus a short video of her swinging. :)

And of course, the slide! :)
