A trip to the hill country















There was lots and lots and lots of marshmallow roasting, tent unzipping, sand in the sleeping bags, fire building, hiking, peeing in the woods, hotdog eating, beautiful scenery and spring break family fun. I packed up these boys of mine and headed up to one of my favorite Texas spots, the hill country and Inks lake state park. Awesome week!

Sonny: ate all the burned marhmallows, tended a fire, took kids to pee in the woods, hiked with his boys, took care of us.

Kath: sprained her ankle, cooked outside,did not pee in the woods, watched all her boys have a blast.

Heath: Hiked, fished, peed in the woods (do you see the trip theme here),collected rocks, learned how to play horse shoes, burnt most of his marshmallows, learned how to build a fire and loved every minute of it.

Austin: lost a shoe, peed in the woods, roasted hot dogs, got really dirty and played hard in his favorite spot, outdoors and loved sleeping in the tent.

Conner: Wins the award for the best baby on a camping trip. Loved eating camping food, liked being outside, ate tons of marshmallows and never took his eyes off his brothers.

Bust IT!




Bust it is what Heath's soccer coach yells to them to shoot it in the goal and Score!! The boys love to hear it and yell BUST IT!! at each other, it has totally caught on. I love to hear the parents on the side yelling it too. Heath loves playing soccer, I may have lost my swimmer to this new found love. He has an awesome coach and team. He loves having his buddy Palmer and his new friends he is making. We are so happy we decided to play this year. Today Heath scored.
Soccer rules!!!

Go Wolverines!! Bust it #29
