Our Lil Munchkins: Road Trip & Easter Fun

Well boy, March, April & May just pretty much flew past me! We had a busy month in March, we went to Oklahoma to celebrate Aunt Kellie's 30th birthday. Then Shelby & I enjoyed Spring Break, had some nice weather and did a couple of playdates at the park with friends. The week after we went to California to visit Grandma & Grandpa Bomar, probably our best flight with Shelby EVER. She did really well sitting in her seat, enjoyed watching DVDs, coloring and just looking out the window. We spent a week out there and enjoyed the beautiful weather, going to the park (I think Shelby wore her grandparents out pretty good!), going to Katelyn's softball game and riding Ernie's horse. Then Russ flew up from Orange County where he'd been in training and we all drove back in my in-laws' RV. We bought it from them and made the road trip back in it. It was so much fun.....we were ready to get home by the last day, but all in all it was a great trip. We stopped in the Grand Canyon and stayed overnight, which was absolutely amazing. I said to Shelby "Isn't this amazing?!" and she responded "And beautiful!". We definitely want to plan a vacation to go back and spend several days, it's just so cool. We made it home and then the next week had Easter. Shelby had an Easter egg hunt at school and we also took her to the McKinney town hunt they put on each year; Leslie, Abby & Kiley met us and the girls really seemed to enjoy it. It was a warm day but we all had fun. Of course the next day, Easter, was cloudy & rainy. Every year!! The next couple of weeks were busy as I prepared for our Ladies Retreat at church. It was a WONDERFUL time of fellowship with our ladies. Shelby & Drew went to Oklahoma to camp out this weekend w/Uncle Russ, Papa, Aunt Kellie & Mason. I must say, I missed my family a lot.....the first night was great (best night's rest I'd had in awhile!) and it was nice to have some quiet time and run errands. But I was ready for them to get home, I missed my lil munchkin!! But it was good daddy-daughter time for her, she was SO excited to go.

May was full of activities with our anniversary on May 1st ~ 11 years! Then Shelby & I went to OK for Mother's Day while Drew stayed here to work on the Jeep project. Next Drew left for a fishing trip in Arkansas with a bunch of guys and he had a blast. Brought home some fish he caught that he's waiting for me to cook up....he'll be waiting awhile!! I'm not so into dealing with that, so I am leaving that up to him. :) While Drew was gone, I tried to do some fun things with Shelby, we went to see the documentary movie Oceans (the only G-rated thing that was out!) and we had a playdate at the Arboretum with some preschool friends. I also had a baby shower that my dear friend Julie & her daughter Melanie threw for me. That was loads of fun and Shelby really enjoyed opening the presents! Then Memorial Day I went to a scrapbooking retreat with my little scrapbooking group and Drew & Russ worked on the Jeep. I got a lot done, which was exciting since I am quite behind. Oh well, it's a fun hobby and if I get to do it once in awhile, that is cool. And that brings us to June!

We were pretty busy this week getting things ready for VBS next week. We went to gather my supplies for crafts and today went to decorate our room. Shelby also got to go play at Abby's while I had a Women's Ministry Team meeting. Next week is VBS and then I think that's all the activities for me & Shelby! Drew is trying to finish up the Jeep project and deliver it by mid-June. We've just got 5 weeks to go for our due date. If I don't go into labor before then, we are scheduled for a c-section on July 12th. So, hopefully in the next few weeks we can get the baby stuff all organized and ready (waiting to get some Jeep parts out of the way).

I've posted several pictures, catching up a bit! Enjoy and hope everyone is doing well!!

These are the 35-inch tires for the Jeep project - almost as big as Shelby!!

A late snow we had in March!! It was crazy! Shelby enjoyed it though!

Riding Ernie's horse in CA, Shelby really likes horses, very opposite of me!

Playing races at Ernie's house while Drew worked on Ernie's Jeep. She loves to pretend she is Sally (from the Cars movie) and then I do commentary on the "race". Good way to burn energy!

Leaving out of Tracy, CA on our road trip in the RV!!

Hanging out in the RV, playing with her new pony Grandma Bomar got her.

Grand Canyon ~ what a beautiful & amazing site to see!!

This is our last day driving home through TX, which is a loooonnnng drive. But we still had smiles on our faces!! We were definitely ready to get home though.
