Fuxa Family Fun

Just chillin' getting ready for the Nebraska 10 hour drive.
These were their special books, they had waited ALL week to start coloring.

We have been very busy lately. This past month we have been to Six Flags two times, had 2 more soccer games and 2 more soccer goals by KK, been on a 10 hour one way trip to Nebraska to watch Aunt Carrie graduate and Carrie and I went to a RAINOUT Kenney Chesney concert.
With getting ready to open the new Cowboys Stadium, we have been trying to make sure we are still doing lots of fun things with the kids. I have had some late nights and some different shifts, which has actually allowed me some one on one time with Connor and also surprised KK by showing up at lunch:) Trev has been so great with the kids as usual, so last night the kids and I went on a impromtu sleepover at Aunt Carries' apt (even though she is not in town) so that Trev could have the house to himself for about 14 hours and so I could spend some time with the kids.

The stadium opens in 2 weeks!!! Crazy, considering the place is still TOTALLY not ready. But it will be by Juen 6th come heck or high water. I have calmed down a little with the whole thing. It was a little overwhelming for about a month, but it is starting to come together. We are in FULL training mode and I love that part. We will probably live there the first week of June. Which by the way is KK's graduation from Kindergarten. Very sad, she only has 9 more days of Kindergarten. WOW! That was fast. She is very excited.

The kids have been struggling to get along lately... Connor does not let his sister run all over him anymore and that does not sit too well with Ms. KK. However, on the Nebraska trip they had the best behavior ever. The car ride was outstanding and their manners on the trip were amazing. In fact, on the ride home we thought maybe every Sat we should just hop in the car with toys and IPOD's and head out to nowhere, stop after 3-4 hours and let them play on a playground get back in the car and come home. They entertained themselves and got along.

They were able to see all of their living grandparents, all of my dad's siblings and one of my mom's sisters. We had such a good time. Carrie is a Dr. and that is a little crazy. She is vacationing for another week and then finally home. She has been gone for a month.

The weather in Texas has been great. We actually got a spring. It has not been too hot so the kids have enjoyed most evenings outside, the mosquitos are on the way which will limit the time outside especially for KK as they love her as much as they loved me when I was little.

Enjoy the pictures...

Before the rain

After two times they are starting to get the hang of it.On the way up to Nebraska we stopped at Arbuckle Mountains for a drive thru zooConnor loves zebrasThe Fuxa Family favorite with the exception of myself!
I SCREAMED when they came up to the window. I HATED it.
But the kids and Trev LOVED it. They thought I was joking but I was shaking,I was so scared. Once KK figured out I was joking she started patting my back and telling me it would be okay. Next time we do this I will NOT be driving, but sitting in the back where I can bury my head!!!!!!Now I LOVE these two silly animals4 generations Hobbs Side

KK has Soccer; CB turns 4; Trip to AA baseball

KK just started her first sport. I am so excited. She has done so good at practice now for the game. For 4 and 5 year olds, the ball is usually covered up by 16 little legs. This game was no different, the first breakaway was KK running down the field with the ball headed toward the goal. She kicked it in front of her and after a deep breath from me hoping she would not over shoot, the ball was in the goal. KK's first ever goal and it was the first one of the season!!! I actually had tears in my eyes. I was so excited for her! The rest of the game went great. Little slow as they were all trying to figure everything out. But huge success for us, no tears and a goal. Pa and Maw Maw and Aunt Tammy were there to witness it!! After her game it was off to Connor's birthday.

KK is standing next to the coach in the red, (of course)
Getting ready to pray before the 1st Half.

Hanging Out at 1/2 TimePracticing kicking it into the goal.
I guess that paid off:)

Connor had a great birthday... He was able to have his best buddy spend the night, then donuts and then off to school for a 1/2 day to have cookies with his friends. Daddy took the day off so he picked up Connor before nap and headed to McDonalds then off to Chuck E Cheese, but CB fell asleep in the car so off to pick up KK from school then to CEC. I met them at Cici's for Connor's favorite dinner, then finally presents. He loved them.

Connor's Friend Cooper got to spend the night for his birthday.

Frisco Roughriders were hosting the Springfield Cardinals so we went to the game and cheer on the up and coming St Louis Cardinals. Trev went to the game on Thursday and then we went as a family on Saturday night. It was perfect weather. We sat in the outfield on the lawn and it was a perfect spot for the wiggily Fuxa's. We had a fun and the Cardinals won, which always is a plus.

Checking out the big screen that was behind us

Look who is winning:)
