Guess who came to visit???

Grandma Chrisman and Aunt Jessie came to visit!

Kristen got married in Austin (thanks kristen for getting married in texas so everyone could come to town) so after the big wedding jessie and grandma drove up to see us!

i was so excited for weeks, but i knew better not to mention anything to the girls until the day before, otherwise they would keep thinking every knock on the door was the chrismans.

we haven't had any visitors since July so i was really excited to see people and to show them where we live!

 of course grandma chrisman stepped right in with several activities!

Goey-oey-Goey as tenley likes to call it. they played with it for at least an hr!

 don't they just melt your heart!

 they were only here for one night but we really made the most of it! mexican food, a trip to walmart, and bed time!

 i love having people come to town.  the girls thrive off of all the attention.  breaks my heart we are so far away from everyone.  ---i wonder why i ever thought the 8 1/2hr drive from AZ was far...i'd give anything to only be 8 1/2 hrs away instead of 24.....someday right???!!! 

but until then we at least have visitors when we can, and of course we have each other.

dr. pepper museum

 We headed up to the big city Waco and visited the Dr. Pepper Museum.  Spencer's family love's dr. pepper and so we had to check it out.

 Waco, Texas is where Dr. Pepper was first created and discovered!  There was a lot of history on how it all got started by a pharmacist...pretty cool

 they had tons of original bottles, containers, dispensers, pop machines, you name it if it had a Dr. Pepper label, the museum had it

 but lets me honest, we really came to taste test!  I was hoping they would be handing out Dr. Pepper right and left, but they didn't.  They had a small soda fountain where you could buy all sorts of soda's and combinations.  Because it was Valentines we decided to try a BIG RED float (another soda created in waco texas that tastes a lot like red cream soda)

 the girls gave to red float a big thumbs up!

it was only weeks later after creating our own red floats we realized that BIG RED has just as much caffeine as mt dew.....no wonder the girls were wild and crazy!

 Spence is  now obsessed with Red Floats and every chance he gets he sneaks away to walmart to get more supplies. 

we had a fun time at the  museum, we had to check it off the list of things to do, but i don't think we will be going back anytime soon. the tour took about 20min, and the gift shop was a little sad.  i was hoping for a magnet or spoon to add to our collection but they didn't have any.  the best part about the museum was the $6 red float at the end.

Grandma pink valentine!!

 going to the mail box has been the highlight of just about everyday!  with all the letters from pappy and grandma sending us BIG packages.  the girls ripped open the package and went through each item and immediately put on the dresses, played with the toys, and wanted to eat all the candy!  luckily they got distracted with the dress and new dinner plates i was able to hide the candy hearts that were in spanish!
we are in texas so everything needs to be in english and spanish, but don't worry they still taste the same.

i took the girls for a walk and to feed some city horses.  the horses must have been really hungry and curious because they weren't shy at all, and neither was quincy.

this is her literally giving him a kiss! so cute, my heart melted.  i wish we could get a little pet for the girls....someday.

and of course Ms. T is more timid just like her mom, she didn't get too close, but finally we convinced her to at least pet his nose!  she was so proud of herself after she did it!

it's still beautiful weather, so took a nice long walk and the girls push the stroller.  wish i had a stroller that  was my size so i could sit back and relax and let them take me for a stroll!

preschool and a little yard work

 a couple families in our neighborhood are doing a co-op preschool.  There are 6kids and we rotate around each tuesday for a 2hr preschool.  Each mom takes a turn teaching and it is so nice for the girls to have school each week!

 its my first time being a preschool teacher, thank goodness for the internet and people with great ideas!

this week we will do the letter S and i'm Super excited to see how the kids like my ideas! 

we also have been doing a little yard work around here! racking leaves and prepping for a small garden.  i'm excited to see if anything grows, and the girls love planting their garden.  ( I gave them a little section that they keep planting all sorts of things from acorns to leaves and rocks)

 i remember when i was little my dad would lift me up and let me jump on all the leaves to stomp them down so more would fit in the truck or trash can.  so i couldn't help but have our girls do the same.  they loved jumping!  and this was the first and last time i have worn my big down coat in texas!

its starting to warm up around here, and yes their were a couple days in January that the AC was on!

its gonna be a hot sumer!
