Childress: Busy, busy week!

We have had a lot going on the last week or so.
Here Farrah is mixing some colored water, she then poured them in some fun ice cube trays. The next day we played with them in our little pool on the patio.

I have been trying to do more "school" time with Farrah lately. She really likes this activity, forming letters out of corn (dyed red) and sticks.

My garden is growing and growing! (This was taken 2 weeks ago.....it is much, much bigger now)

This is membership week. We got memberships to the YMCA and to the Zoo!
Here we are at Members Night at the zoo.

Adra loves snakes....what are we going to do with this girl.

Josh installed a second shelf in our garage. We told Farrah it was her new bed, she was concerned.

We painted Dax's room. Now I need to finish his curtains. So many projects, and I have no time because I have three kids!

This is the dinosaur bobble head (actually it is a dragon) that I painted for Josh's birthday.

We have been on a big watermelon kick.

Last week they had 99¢ coney's at gold star......dinner anyone? This was the girls first Gold Star experience.

My parents have thousands of tiny baby toads hopping around their property. The girls have had fun catching them.

Farrah had her first ballet class last week. She was so excited! Adra was so excited for her too.

Here she at class.

At the end of class the parents get to come in and take pictures and video's, and the girls get to dance for us. So precious!

Right after ballet we headed for Indiana.

After the four hour trip we got settled and then headed to the sprinkler park.

It took Dax a little while to get used to the sprinklers.

We were sitting on the patio one day, and these two robins chased this hawk right into Adra! Crazy, I know. It was a little stunned, and stayed on the deck for a little while. The girls loved it, of course.

We had a little surprise party for Josh. He had no idea.

I painted Josh this dragon "dinosaur" bobble head...isn't it cute.

There's my kids.

Dax loves playing "Where's Dax?"

We finally went to Holiday world with the Childress's.....Papi's company goes every year, and this was the first year we got to go. It was so much fun. This girls had a blast riding tons of rides. Josh and I rode two roller coasters, and a drop zone ride.

Dax did so good, he didn't get to ride any rides, but he loved getting pushed around in the wagon.

On the train ride.

First roller coaster for the girls. Anabelle didn't want to ride it, and I think she made the right choice, it was fast and jerky. It goes around twice, but the girls got off after the first one. Too scary!
