Spring Break Fun

It is hard to believe that Spring Break is almost over and Nathan goes back to school on Monday. We did not go anywhere big but we did have a fun week. On Monday we went to visit some friends. Nathan got to see his friends Gavin and Braydon who went to school with him at North Hills. I also got to visit with my good friend Brandy. We had a good day hanging out with them at their house. We went to Hot Springs on Wednesday and Memaw went with us. We had a good time shopping and eating lunch. We even drove by the race track when we were leaving and even saw some horses on the track. They were getting ready for a race. So we had a fun day. Of course Nathan would have loved to stay on the road all day riding. He loves to ride in the car and always tells me he wants to stay on the Interstate when we get off. We went to Little Rock yesterday and did a few things. Today was a beautiful day and windy so it was great kite flying weather so we went to the playground and played and flew the kite. My Uncle is having surgery on Thursday in Oklahoma City so Mother and I are driving there for the surgery. We are planning on leaving Wednesday and coming home on Saturday. So Nathan is going to be having some good Daddy/Nathan time. Donald took leave on Wednesday and Thursday and he is off Friday and Nathan is out of school on Friday. I am sure they will have a lot of fun. I hope everyone has a great week.

The Daffodils at Wye Mountain

Today was a very beautiful day. There is a small town in Arkansas named Wye and every year they have a daffodil festival. There is a church that has a lot of acres and they are covered in daffodils. We have gone several years. Nathan's first visit he was just 6 months old. We decided to go look at the daffodils since the weather was so nice. Nathan was not too thrilled about having his picture taken but we got a few. Spring break is this week and we don't have a lot of plans. Nathan and I are going to go to spend the day with Braydon and Gavin(Nathan's friends from North Hills) and Brandy. So we are looking forward to that. Then another day we will probably go to Little Rock to run a few errands. Then I think on Friday we are planning on going to Hot Springs with Memaw. So we are just going to do a few local things and not anything big, but I am sure we are going to have a great Spring Break.

What has been happening.

First of all I want to say I am sorry that it has been over a month since I last blogged. I want to say I am sorry to the friends and family that check out my blog often for updates(sorry Aunt Trish). Okay here is what has been happening in the last month. Since we got our snow and four days out of school(I called it our winter break) the weather is starting to get to be so nice and has been gorgeous and giving us all spring fever. We had stormy weather last Wed. night and a few tornadoes outside of Little Rock. That is the one thing about this time of year it is tornado weather.

Yesterday we went to the Pinewood Derby or Powder puff Derby is what is was called. Rachel is a brownie this year and she had a car in the Derby. She won two of the races but did not get any trophy. It was fun and Nathan did enjoy seeing the cars race. Last night Donald's cousin John came over for dinner and Donald and John played a little bit of guitar hero before John left. John lives in Conway and is a professor at UCA so we get to see him often. Donald said he has spent more time with John now then he ever did growing up. Last week we went to John's house and he had made dinner. He has two little poodles and Nathan seemed to like them. Memaw Hullett came for the weekend. She is planning on going home tomorrow.

They are having a book fair at Nathan's school next week and Donald and I are planning on volunteering to help next Friday. Nathan's spring break is the week of March 22nd. We are not planning on going anywhere but I am sure Memaw, Nathan and I will go on a few day trips to Hot Springs and maybe Conway. It is hard to believe that Nathan only has a little over two months of school left. It is a little scary. This class Nathan is in now is so great and I really wish he could stay there until he graduates. We are planning on getting Nathan some Occupational Therapy during the summer. We really think that Nathan can not go two months with out any kind of therapy and we don't want him to regress. It is going to be with a therapist that he has had and she is so sweet and Nathan loves her.

Well I guess I will close for now. Hopefully this has updated everyone. I will definitely try to be better about blogging and try not to wait so long the next time. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
