Houston Space Center

Over Spring Break we went to Houston to visit Darrell at his jobsite. The boys had tons of fun "camping" with Dad. We were able to go to the Houston Space Center. Collin was so excited for it! He is our little nerd through and through. We ran into some storm troopers while we were there. It was like a dream come true for two little boys.

"Houston, we have a problem." (It had to be said.)

A boy's paradise!

The boys got to have a little fun at dad's work too. All boys love a good dirt pile.

Breakfast in Bed

Darrell wasn't able to be home for Mother's Day this year. He will be home next weekend for my birthday, and I figured that would be better anyway. We always celebrate my birthday multiple times, because I like to milk it and get a little spoiled. :) So him being here for "Birthday Week" (as we call it around here) is more important than Mother's Day. I didn't think much about getting any breakfast or gifts today other that what Collin had made at school.

Then last night, about 10:15 pm, I hear a knock on my door. I opened it to find my sister in law, Amber, and my sweet friend, Mary, just giggling away. They had brought me a picnic basket full of breakfast goodies! Pineapple, blueberry muffins, strawberries, orange juice, and to fulfill my late night sugar craving they brought me chocolate covered almonds! Oh yes, and those beautiful flowers too! They knew Darrell wouldn't be there so they stepped in and took care of me. I am so lucky to have such great friends.

Maybe I will save a few almonds for Darrell. Then again......maybe not. :)
