Pansies and what not

Things have been a little busy, so I have a lot to update folks on.  PANSIES!  Last weekend we planted pansies in the front flower bed.  Purple and white with kale planted every once in a while in between.  Then we went over and celebrated Trisha's birthday!  Yahoo, wahoo!  

We recently joined First United Methodist Grapevine as well.  Last Sunday we had our "learn about the church" class.  Informative and we're really excited about getting involved.  

This weekend we got to keep Matt and Trisha's boys (even Wesley for a little bit).  They have sooo much energy!  We went to the playground down the street Saturday morning and played for about an hour.  Here are a couple of things we discovered.

1.  Jungle gyms look a lot bigger when you are three foot tall instead of five.

2.  Ryan and I are both pretty out of shape.

3.  Crocs allow you to walk up a slide rather easily.  

4.  Metal playground equipment is really really cold in the winter. 

Yesterday afternoon we went with Jennifer, Bryan, Melanie, Justin and their new son Aaron to the TCU football game.  Well...kinda.  We went to Pappasito's beforehand for lunch and headed to campus, parked in front of a friend's house and walked over to the stadium...it was already halftime by the time we got there.  So we walked around the tailgate parties for a while, chatting with each other, seeing a few people we knew, etc.  We didn't want to have to pay to get in for only half of a game.  We had every intention of walking around the TCU campus since they have addedso many new buildings in the past year, but just ran out of daylight.  So  we headed back to The Colony to Melanie and Justin's for dinner, Tech/OU watching and to visit.  We had so much fun and it was really good to get to hang out with the TCU gang :o)

Today we went to visit our friends Jennifer and Erik.  Erik made some mighty tasty tortilla soup, we watched the Cowboys, and just caught up with one another.  I made my menu for the week on the drive up and my grocery list on the drive home.  The grocery store was suprisingly not crowded.  About the same crowd there is normally.  Got everything we needed for Thursday and we're starting our grocery list for Saturday's festivities.  That grocery trip will have to take place on Friday...not enough fridge space to buy everything today.  So that's what has been going on in our world!  Have a great week everyone!
