Let the Celebrations Begin...

Colten's class celebrated all the summer birthdays at the end of school with a "birthday"snack for each kiddo. It was just the beginning of weeks of celebrations in our family...

Colten and Garrett

loving the spotlight (yeah right)

The end of school came waaaay too soon I say!!! We had a fun end of the year picnic with all the parents, kids and teachers.

We have been in full GO mode around here. So far we have had VBS, our annual Osbourn reunion (a great HOT time, check my FB page for pics) and are in our last week of swim lessons. In between we have spent lots of time outside, in the water of course!!!

May Wrap-up

Now that it's June, I guess it's about that time to finish out May for us. I had a fantastic Mother's Day with my precious kiddos and an added bonus this year, got to spend Sunday in Llano with my Mom. Sorry it's a tad late, but love you Mom and EVERYTHING you continue to do for me AND my family!!! God could not have blessed me with a more PERFECT mom than you!!! XOXOXOX

Chera, my mom, and me

Colten also "graduated" from pre-school a few weeks ago and my mom and dad were able to come down and attend his graduation. Colten is usually looking for a crowd, but not one to perform "on command." So, most of the time he stood and barely voiced the words to the songs and scripture that his class had rehearsed. But...that didn't deter him from making silly faces, wiggling around and even pulling his shirt over his head. I think his pre-school teacher said it best..."Colten you have been such a joy this year, your kindergarten teacher is in for a treat next year, you!!!"

I guess that about wraps it up for May. Whew, we're already into June and it seems there's lots more to blog about. We already have a busy summer planned...from reunions, to birthday celebrations, to vacation plans and more in between. More exciting things to come...tune back in soon!!! Happy Summer everyone!!!

May Events

We have had several "celebrations" in May so far. A friend from work's daughter's party was at the original Kiddie Park. It was so fun to watch the kiddos ride the "older" rides and have so much fun. It is so amazing how they have preserved the rides and made them safe still for kids and families to enjoy.

the kids loved the carousel, we each got to choose our own "horsey" to ride

time for a boat ride

flying high

going up in the Ferris wheel

taking a ride in a spaceship (honestly this one scared me a bit, it was pretty fast for Cambry and as you can see she was kind of thrown around during the ride...but she loooved it!!)the school bus "train"

Colten's turn at the pinata, he has a pretty good swing and cracked it enough so the dads could have a turn and bust it open...atta boy!!!

The next weekend was Caleb's company's annual family picnic. We missed last year and heard the place was great for kids, so we were excited to see what activities were planned this year.

we went down the river on a barge

Cambry expressing her independence...a common thing these days

Colten chillin' in the saddle

We went on a hay ride and got to see some of the livestock they raise...a buffalo shedding for the summer (not the prettiest)!!!

pony rides

Colten's turn at the water balloon launcher

What a fun afternoon!!! There were also different tournaments, bounce houses, relay races, and more. Thanks for a fun time PD!!!

April Rundown

I just happened to skim through my pictures, and WOW have I gotten behind on blogging...so here's April!!! April means Fiesta time in San Antonio!!! OHP had another fantastic Fiesta day, filled with a parade, booths, great food and lots of excitement. Colten's float was....take a guess, could it be??...you guessed it STAR WARS. It took a little engineering from Daddy, but hey that's what that A&M degree is for, right?!

proud of his float

showing it off

Random pic, but Cambry has really been proud of herself for "trying" the potty lately. No success just yet, but maybe soon?! We took a short weekend trip to Llano to "get away" and enjoy the BEAUTIFUL flowers this spring. It was revitalizing for us all!!!
