Pictures from our fun Spring Break outing. I wish we could have taken pictures on our tour to Blue Bell, but they don't allow cameras.


Aubrey and Daddy so sweet!




So busy eating ice cream they forgot to smile!





Levi & Owen...I just love these boys!!!





Can you get any sweeter? I don't think so!!




First attempt with all five.




Second attempt with all five. Bless Bethany's heart, she didn't know what to make of the cow statue.




Blue Bell ice cream tub bounce house.




Getting ready to jump!!




Must drink juice...even at 32!





Owen in the tree, he would have stayed there all day if we would have let him. He was very happy there!








Love this one!





In case you didn't know...Levi ROCKS!






Colin was encouraging dangerous behavior on this!




Colin, Bethel and Dee Doe




Russell got gum in his hair on the way home, resulting in a hair cut. Yes Colin is using a water bottle to wet his hair, we can't find our spray bottles...

Vanilla Bean Almonds and Clear Play

I love these almonds!! They are delicious!! Once you eat one it's hard to stop. Supposedly they will help you manage your weight if you eat one ounce a day by being a more satisfying and filling snack. I wonder if it helps you even more if you eat 5 ounces in one day...you know just wondering not because I ate 5 ounces in one day, I ate six! :)



Anyway, the serious point to my post is Clear Play. The Bearded Lady wrote a great post on the Clear Play DVD player. It filters out a lot of the "trash" from movies...seems like a great idea to me. Go check it out!
