Bike Ride and a Haircut

Daddy did half of the MS150 bike ride from Houston to Austin. For the first time, the ride from Houston to La Grange was cancelled due to severe weather in the area.

Rebecca and Wesley were quite the troopers and gave Daddy a ride to La Grange to start the ride, then spent the day enjoying Austin.

"Spring Break"

It wasn't really Wesley's Spring Break, but Mama and Daddy had to get away! So, we headed down to San Jose del Cabo, Mexico for a quick weekend trip with Wesley. Jack doesn't have a passport yet so Nana came down to hang out with him. It's one of the benefits of living in the big city...jump on a plane and in two-ish hours you're on your way to the beach.

Jack had a great time with Nana and a fun lunch with Nana and Grandmama. Here is a quick picture of him...

...eating dirt! No, this did not happen under the grandmothers' watch! Is it time for a haircut??

Photobucket
One other thing...not sure if you can tell but we now have LSU license plates in TEXAS! The MDX even has '97' in the plate number..the year we graduated!
