The past few weeks.....

I'm just finishing up posting with the last few pictures from the school year.  Drew had a project about the actual flower mound in Flower Mound. So we trudged up the hill and took pictures. It was actually very interesting and I had never been there. We learned that Indians once lived on this land and this was the highest point in the area where they would look out from. There are also multiple species of wildflowers that grow there.

Another cool thing is that they have an Easter sunrise service on the mound every year. We went right before Easter, so we were able to see the crosses.

Brookes school had a little petting zoo a couple weeks ago and you'd think the girl was raised on a farm!! She jumped right in and fed the goats, picked up baby chicks, and chased the rabbits. She loved it!

 Corraling two goats who want her attention....or the food in her hand!
Jackson came home with a black eye.......who beat him up?!?! Well....it was himself. Apparently, in gym class, they were doing handstands against the wall and his knee came down as he landed....right in his eye!! It got worse over the week and then started to heal. And for his knee....it is fine too.

HITS400


Jason has luanched a new company called HITS400! It opened a few months ago in Plano and they have had a few special guests come visit. Jason was super excited to have Jennie Finch there for a day...you can see why...she is beautiful! She's a famous softball player and has 2 gold medals. We went over to see her and brought along a couple of Drew's friends.

At the HITS facility with Jennie.

They had some cute balloon blow ups outside, popcorn, hotdogs.....

......and facepainting!!!! Very exciting for Brooke! Now, everytime we go over there, she thinks the face painter is going to be there.

Love the rainbow!

So, there were some popcorn balls leftover and here comes Jackson hauling a trash bag full of them. Hes not even supposed to eat things like that with braces! Luckily, both boys had games later that day and we shared them all with their teammates.
We love HITS400!
