A Break! Spring Break that is....

Soooo, last week was Spring Break for us here in Texas! We stayed put this year. We did alot around our area and I forgot my camera for most of it! I do have some pics but I wish I had more. We went to a movie, had a picnic by the lake with friends, went Spring/Summer clothes shopping, went bungee cord jumping, had sleepovers, went putt putt golfing, go carting and out to dinner a few times. We had a eventful fun filled Spring Break. The pictures below are of the kids bungee cord jumping. Rylie likes to do back flips when she is high in the air (that pic is a bit blurry). She counted how many backflips she did this time and it was 28. Pretty AWESOME!!

The Simple and Sweet things... Jackson does!

Ok so, I caught Jackson getting into his piggy bank yesterday. I promptly told him to put his money back in his bank, he said mom I need to take it to school. I said, you are not buying any more pencils for 25 cents each - sorry! Jackson said no mom we are collecting money for these kids with really hurt hearts and I need to help them make their hearts better with my money. After I got over the awww can he be any cuter and sweet thought in my head I went over to him and knelt down by him to talk about it. We had a nice little chat and I was quietly and simply reminded that being a mom to this sweet little one is what life is all about. He took his 4 dollar bills he got out of his piggy bank and they are now helping those kids with hurt hearts!
