For those of you now stuck with the Steve Miller Band song stuck in your head after reading the title, I am somewhat sorry, but it was what came to mind. I did not mean to stretch out my posts to three months, but it has been C.R.A.Z.Y. at the Pope house. I am hoping that going forward my posts will be a little more frequent! Here is our first quarter of 2016 in review.
We finally sold our house in Sienna. Everything always works out just as it was supposed to be, though the road is often uncertain.
It took 2 large moving trucks and a trailer to move us and all of our stuff to Katy. It was definitely different with the kids this time, but our wonderful family helped watch them so that we could pack and move with minimal disruption to the Little Popes and Team Leader. We love being closer to the Nutrition Nazi now!
This sweet little monkey turned 2 in February. We somehow managed to have a wonderful party with our family and friends in the middle of packing! The rule was everyone had to pack two boxes before they could have cake! Just kidding I'm too Type A to let someone else pack my stuff!
I seriously don't know where the time is going and can't believe how big he is getting.
There is still no denying who this kid belongs to!
He learned how to open gifts from his big brother, and with a little help from our friends ripped through them in no time!
Every year I try to get a pic of me holding them to show how they've grown, and this may be the last year for that. He is so tall his legs will probably be at my knees next year!
Of course there is the camera switch and NN gets in on his own pic!
Shortly after we moved into the new house there was a brutal ninja sword fight that NN got caught up in. Just kidding! He was playing with the Little Popes when Camo's teeth caught his forehead. Ouch!
The kids settled in nicely in Katy. They love the parks!
They especially love to chase each other up the slide!
The Team Leader is loving our new patio!
The beginning of March brought us another trip to the Rodeo, and we actually went to the show this year. Beforehand Camo had to sample some of the food in the midway!
Of course they loved the rides! This was Camo's first year of eligibility in carnival rides! Luckily he had Little Pope close by to ease his fears.
Surprisingly this sweet face loved the actual rodeo, especially the bull riding.
I love this photo of the amazement on his face. He was so enamored with the fireworks show before the concert. The concert was less impressive.
The end of March brought several days of Easter festivities, beginning with a soggy parade at school.
This was how things were going about halfway through all of our events. Definitely not a good sign.
Camo did at least participate for a few minutes in the egg hunt.
Little Pope was really excited, though, the picture says otherwise!
Thank goodness Little Pope looks like his mama! Camo is looking at his future in this pic!
At least one of my children was excited about their Easter basket! She also learned a new trick...blending in with the new rug!
Every year she always has the most fun in the Easter egg hunt, though Camo is starting to jump on her train.
This one used up all his excitement in the days leading up to Easter.
Once they woke up I got a few smiles!
I guess this is Camo's way of telling me no more pics.
And just for grins I threw in this pic of their reaction to seeing me blow a bubble with gum for the first time. They thought is was the funniest thing ever. Luckily we 'ran out' of gum or otherwise my jaw would be beyond sore!
