First Official Spring Break

Last week was Jake and Josh's first spring break. The boys and I drove up to Dallas to visit the Grandma's and Grandpa's. They had so much fun, after Josh got over wii withdraws. My parents have a new toy so the boys gladly helped break it in and camped out in the driveway at Gma and Gpa Denton's. They also enjoyed a night out to Chuck E Cheese for pizza and fun.



Half way through the week we headed to over to Gma and Gpa Pattons for swimming and wii. They were able to play in the water for the first time since last summer. Another highlight was going to Krispy Kreme for donuts. Josh calls himself the Donut King. The only downer of the trip was getting a call from my dad telling me that mom was in the emergency room and was prepping for surgery to remove her gall bladder. She is at home recovering and will be just fine. Overall we had a great week for visiting family and friends.

Bluebonnets are in bloom and I couldn't resist pulling over and taking a couple of pictures. The boys didn't cooperate but I tried.

Rodeo Time

We decided to venture out to the Rodeo again this year. We were not able to make it to the actual rodeo but we walked around the fair grounds and also visited the childrens section. The boys had a blast! We promised them before we left we would let them ride one ride each. Josh had his eye on the ferris wheel and Jake (for some odd reason) was feeling a little on the wild side and decided that he wanted to ride the roller coaster.

Here is Josh just before riding on the Ferris Wheel.

Here is Jake after the roller coaster. I am fairly certain that he will not be riding a roller coaster for a long time.
Here is Josh leaving the rodeo with a major meltdown because he wanted to ride two rides. He went first and forgot that the Ferris wheel wasn't the ride he wanted and really meant that he wanted the roller coaster. And Jake Still feeling the effects of the aftermath from his ride. Needless to say the walk to the car and the ride home was not one of the Patton family's finer momemts.
