Weekend in Photos: Spring Break Edition

 This weekend we went to the ranch in celebration of Tyson's dad's birthday. Brody likes to spend his time in mud pits. The cows are interested in his size and preference of hang out locations.

 Isn't he the cutest?!? FYI, he got a bath promptly upon arrival at my parents'.

 Partners in crime. Although Puppy really just tolerates Brody's presence.

 They love four-wheeling. I was totally not driving one handed to take this photo. That would be oh-so-dangerous.

 Brody's favorite ranch hangout. So happy to see this pond full and the grass so wonderfully green!

 This little herd is adorbs. Tyson's dad hand-fed them last summer and got them more used to humans, so you can actually walk up to them and pet them.

 They wanted to be friends. Unfortunately my friendship is dependent upon being a photographic specimen.

 I think she was hungry. I was most amused by Brody chillaxin' in the corner.

 It's like a bovine posse.

 I dubbed #68 leader of the pack and my fave.

 I think I surprised him (isn't he the cutest?!?).

 He smelled so bad.

 I became best buds with this one. Until she ran away from me.

 They were actually staring at Brody. Don't let their attentiveness deceive you.

 Tricky Ricky still maintains his awesomeness!!

 I don't know why, but this reminds me of The Outsiders. I like to think they are Dally (obviously because he's alone!), Two-Bit, Soda, and Pony.

 This one can be Steve/Tom Cruise.

 Have I mentioned I love this kid?!

I think he spent the entire weekend in puddles.

I am a professional spring break-er.

This week marks the 21st Spring Break of my life. SB is a fave because it's short and sweet. Also, your husband can't get too mad at you for relaxing a lot because you're going right back to work next week! ;o) My week has entailed a few adult beverages, Dog the Bounty Hunter, coffee every morning, a haircut (four inches, yeehaw!), a lunch and movie outing with Mommy (This Means War--totally loved it), quality time with the Brody Bear, grading papers in a waiting room while Tyson got a root canal, and other miscellaneous adventures.

 Brody loves Spring Break too.

Adele Pandora station + coffee are a requirement every morning! 

What a little sweetheart.

I didn't do that awesome at picking crazy elaborate dinners, but here's what we had...
monday :: baked coconut shrimp, cauliflower mashed potato puree, and coleslaw (shrimp was decent, puree was yum!!)
tuesday :: Whataburger for Tyson while I hung out with Mom and Dad :o)
wednesday :: slow cooker baked potato soup (super easy!)
thursday :: crockpot pork carnitas (yum!)

We are one week away from Hunger Games! I almost bought some of the nail polish yesterday at Ulta but stopped myself in time.

Has it seriously been a month?

Again, bad blogger. My camera battery has not been charged in quite some time. Sad day. But it is now Spring Break, so I am enjoying a cup of coffee and perusing the web for those more tedious/time-consuming/messy recipes that I overlook during the normal week. I'm also listening to my Adele Pandora station, and let me tell you--it is quite lovely.

 My parents finally got a dog! They have been talking about getting one since my tenth birthday (I got my ears pierced instead...lame.). They rescued Lady Iris in January, and we just love her. Except when she's stealing Brody's toys. She has a lazy eye (my mom pointed out that I used to as well) and a tattoo. 

Tyson finished a half marathon in College Station last weekend. He beat his previous two times! The weather was pretty awesome and we got to spend time with Heather and John (even though they won two games of badminton...rematch please!). We might or might not have indulged in breakfast tacos from Rudy's (seriously cannot wait for the Katy location to open!) AND Harvey Washbanger. And Yogurtland. Twice.
