Great Wolf!

For Christmas this year, my mom got each of us a gift card to the Great Wolf Lodge for our family to take a weekend trip there together! We loaded up early on Feb.15th and headed to Grapevine to stay the night! After an uneventful trip (which is always a good thing) we arrived just in time to get our wristbands and head to the waterpark. It was massive and packed (sold out actually). We thought going somewhere like that over Valentine's weekend might be a good thing, but it didnt' matter, still packed and crazy. But a blast. The boys were in heaven. They played, and swam, and rode slides, and played until they were worn out (or until the parents were worn out). John was super brave and rode all of the big slides. Braidy rode one and was done. Crockett surprised us all and LOVED the big slides and rode them several times. Quin and Bowen were content playing in the little kid area and occasionally going in the lazy river or wave pool. Between us all, we kept up with the kids and got to have a little fun ourselves as well! 

That night after everyone had their fill of the water park, we ordered pizza, went to storytime and then grabbed some yummy ice cream from the ice cream shoppe downstairs. Needless to say, everyone was exhausted and slept soundly that night!!!

The next morning, we grabbed breakfast (and coffee....there's even a Starbucks in the place, amen!), we hit up the waterpark again. Everyone was moving a little slower this day, but they still had plenty of energy to play and have a ball. After a few hours it was time to clean up and get ready to head home. Lulu bought each boy a souvineir to take home. Braidy, Quin and Bowen all got a "Build-a-Bear" animal that they got to stuff themselves and pick out an outfit (they are slept with every night now!), and John and Crockett got a magic wand that is very cool!

What a fun family trip!!! We had a blast! It was short and sweet, but we made some awesome memories to keep forever! Thanks momma for a wonderful vacation!!! The boys will never forget it!!

Braidy & The Bulldogs

This winter, Braidy and several of his friends played in a short t-ball league that lasted 6 weeks. It was super laid back, very fun, and a great experience. Braidy loved it and loved playing with his buddies. They were the BULLDOGS and did an awesome job!

Snaggle-tooth!

February 13th was a BIG day at the Curry house! Braidy lost his first tooth! Or should we say, Daddy pulled Braidy's first tooth! Dad had been working on getting that thing out, so a few tries one night and one big try the next night and it was out! So exciting for everyone, but especially B, who has been pretty interested/scared/excited about the whole "losing your teeth" thing. He's been a bit worried about what will happen when he loses all of his teeth (we assured him he would grow new ones!) but once that first one came out it was pure excitement! The tooth fairy visited and he was thrilled with 4 $1 bills.

Just a month later, on March 23rd, tooth number 2 came out (dad pulled again!)! He's a snaggle for sure! He's trying to keep the tooth fairy busy!!!

we're alive!

So it's almost been 3 months since I've blogged.  The lack of blogging definitely IS NOT due to lack of events going on in the Curry home. Instead I feel like we've been going non-stop.  However, I have great intentions on fully catching up just as soon as possible!!!

In a nutshell, what's been going on?
1. new baseball season for 2 boys! 4+ games a week, plus a few practices in there = busy! But we are loving it and I am loving this season. It's the first time I've really gotten to actually watch the games. Before I was always chasing a baby or 2 around! Yay for newfound freedom in watching the game!

2. Remodel. We are completely remodeling (floor to ceiling to closets and everywhere in between) the boys rooms, the boys/guest bathroom and the hallway. Our home is completely in disarray. It's bad. There is sawdust/dust/whatever layering everything in our home. As I type, I'm coughing up a lung. I'm convinced it's due to inhaling an equivalent of a large oak tree in sawdust. However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We are finally reaching the end. The painter starts tomorrow and the carpet is laid Friday! Then the "moving back into the rooms" begins and I couldn't be more excited!

3. We've taken a few short weekend trips. One to Great Wolf Lodge in January with my family, a trip for Ryan and I to North Carolina, Oklahoma the first weekend of Spring Break, and then to Dallas the last weekend of Spring Break to celebrate Noah's 4th birthday.

4. School, stuff, life, etc.

So I have a lot of catching up to do!!!! Stay tuned for tons of posts in the next week or so.......
