Lions, and Tigers, and BEARS Oh My...

Wow! We have been on the go since our return home from Texas. For some reason, during our drive home from Dallas, Brett & I made the decision that we were going to OKC to watch a day of the Big XII tournament. Larry and Becky agreed to keep the girls- ALL day and night for us on Thursday and so we we were off! We didn't expect Baylor to BEAT KU...but it happened and then we were forced to go back to OKC on Friday. The girls headed to Arkansas for the weekend and Brett & I headed back to OKC...where once again Baylor surprised us with a HUGE win over the dreaded Longhorns. And so once again we drove back to OKC on Saturday to watch Baylor in a sad loss to Mizzou. It was SO much fun to be with Brett, meet fun new people AND watch the Bears win!! Thanks to our parents for making the weekend possible- we felt young and spontaneous- and we appreciate you guys allowing us to do that!
The girls came home on Sunday afternoon with my mom and then Spring Break started. The weather has been fabulous!! We played with my mom and my aunt yesterday all day and then today we headed out to the zoo with the Dunhams. TOO fun!!!


The kiddos, all awake, fresh and ready for a big day!

SO FUN! That's awesome you got to see so many BU games. Bummer they ended up not winning the tourney. Isn't it great to just hang out with your husband and feel like a couple again. You two deserve it! Wonder if Becky would keep the girls so you can fly to Lubbock? :)
