Tons of Fun

We have been busy having fun here. This past week we started a rock quary in our front yard.....not really but that is what it looks like. We now have new retaining walls in the backyard and frontyard, and side yard, and new garden beds..... it started much smaller and we were going to do a couple walls and then it looked so great we decided to do another part and then had one bed/wall that was different and my OCD kicked in and Duke said Ok have them do it too and make it all match... So now we will have a much more level front and back yard and some great looking rock work, but the levelness will make the yard so much more usable and play friendly. So the sprinkler guy and landscaper will come this week.... weather permitting at the end of this week we will have sod. This is a huge high for me as I am tired of DIRT on clothes, in hair, on the floor...the dirt smell that has invaded my house...eeeewww... but all worth it in the end. I am sure my neighbors will be releived too as their kids have been playing in it and they have to look at the demolition.

Momma Sam came and gave us our Easter gifts that included Season Passes to Fiesta Texas, so on Friday...good Friday....we went. It was fun, but crazy crowded....much more than I think the park expected. They were very understaffed, and were closing food stations at 3:30 b/c all their minor aged workers had reached their hourly limit for the day. There was a 2 hour wait for just about every ride....which is torture for a child....and pretty rough on an adult too. Reid got in line for so many rides and we made it 30 mins and he said lets go I do not want to wait....we did this about 3 or 4 times. Macy fell asleep in one line and ended up sleeping on jackets by a building....actually not too bad...in the shade and clean so we took turns sitting with her and waiting in lines... the passes will be wonderful in the Summer on weekdays when we can go and enjoy with out all of San Antonio too. The Easter Bunny also delivered a bubble machine, giant hopper balls, playdough, hollow chocolate bunnies, sleeping bags, shoes, camping lantern, and stuffed animals and the Bee movie....good stuff... here are a couple shots of the egg hunt....Macy got a head start, then Reid and Dale....all found a big load of eggs filled with candy and money!

Reid has become really good on the 4-wheeler....he is convinced he is a stunt man....here are a couple of his latest jumps off a ramp Duke made for him....side note Duke also used the jump last weekend ....on the 50 cc motorcycle. Mind you Duke looks like a schriner on the motorcylce to begin with....he has to ride with his legs out straight infront of him and then is a foot off the ground....so he decides to take a Jump....obviously his brain was on vacation at this moment. He jumps... lands...feet hit the ground, knees get stuck in the handlebars....so he cannot turn....the bike keeps going and his crotch hit the rear tire and tore his leg up....and he falls to the ground....then jumps up and said TA DA....yes TA DA....no real damage road rash to the knee, torn jeans , and torn up thigh....could have been much worse....back to Reid ....here he is landing his jumps.




We also celebrated Macys birthday....a bit early so I am going to make you wait to see her AMAZING CAKE that my friend and co-worker made her....no kidding so much work went into that cake....it was so outrageous. Rewind....I started a tradition of having Macys cake match her dress, and doing a 2 tier cake....so when she was 1 it was pink and white, 2 multi-colored dots, and this year was this cute pink outfit with black and white gingham accents and a antimated Paris scene on the top....Sarah recreated the whole thing....WOW....she should do it professionally...really outstanding, and even named the cafe she drew as Macy's Cafe.....soo soo cute. And to top it off it was great cake too!....ok here is a picture of the cake

That is some searious detail on the cake....a perfect match to the outfit....traditon still in place...more birthday pics soon...and landscaping pics too..
