Spring Break

We have had such a BUSY Spring Break! We have had plans everyday and it has made the week go so fast. We started the week with snow, snow and more snow and ended the week with 68 degree weather-crazy! We had so much fun in the snow, but it was so deep we couldn't play outside very long. We did build a snowman and Holden loved "shoveling" the driveway.

On Wednesday, my mom, Holden and I went to Branson to walk around and do some shopping. The weather was beautiful and Holden loved the fountains at the Landing. He is not scared of water and he spent most of the time trying to get in the fountains and the lake. He would say, "Ooh wawa" and then try to crawl into the fountain or through the guard rails and into the water. I can tell I am going to be super busy running around at the pool this summer!

"Please let me in"

On Thursday we had lunch and frozen yogurt with Charley, Jackson, McCoy and their mommies. We went to US Pizza and I am sure that the other people there were so ready for us to leave. The kids started out so good and then Holden and McCoy started getting a bit rowdy. They defiantly feed off of each other and get really wound-up! Then Charley and Jackson decided to get in on the action. After lunch we went to the Orange Mango for some frozen yogurt. The kids loved he furniture in Orange Mango and they quickly discovered that the tables spin. We had a great time and Holden took a long nap after playing with his friends.

On Friday, we went to the Drive-Through Safari with the Mallery's. We left the house before 9:00 and we didn't get home until 2:30. The kids had a great time and Holden was super excited to see "his kids." He loves everything about the Mallery's and they spoil him rotten!. We saw zebra, buffalo, emus, yak, monkeys, big cats, black bears, etc., and Holden's favorite pigs! He thought all the animals were "dogdogs" and he had no fear if the animals got close to him.

On Friday night we went took Holden to his first Razorback Baseball game. Our friend invited us to sit in his box and Holden had a big time up there. The carpet has razorbacks all over it and he went from hog to hog pointing and saying, "pig." He also discovered the snacks on the tables and Mr. John gave him a baseball! What more could a little guy ask for! We took Holden down to see the hog mascot, but my camera died so we didn't get a picture. Holden and I left after the 5th inning and let Daddy stay and have a few drinks.

Friday night my brother, sister in law and niece came into town! We love it when they come to visit and Holden loves getting to play with his cousin! After Holden and I left the baseball game we went to Sue-Sue and Papa's house to see everyone. We played and played and didn't get Holden in bed until 10:15-yikes! Saturday we went back to Sue-Sue and Papa's for my grandads 85 birthday! My aunt and uncle came over and we grilled hamburgers and hot dogs. After lunch, the boys headed to the baseball game and we came over to our house to play. We had such a fun day and ended it with my brother's favorite dinner, Tim's Pizza. We have such a wonderful time when they are in town and I am always so sad when they go home.

Holden and I had a wonderful week together and I am so blessed to have had this time off with him. He is at such a fun age and he seems to develop more and more personality everyday! Although he had a fun week, I am sure he is ready to get back to his normal routine and see his friends at school!
