The Queen’s Chronicles
Well…Spring Break is officially over and it’s back to the real world today. We’ve had a great time since I last updated the Queen’s Chronicles. I will be posting a little more detail about or Spring Break fun later this week but here is a quick look at what we have been up to!
Carly Jo had school pictures and she was super proud to fix her own hair. Of course yesterday I was telling my friend Holly about it and Carly informed me she had taken it all down before her picture. This girl…we are going to have some fun times the next few years.
I received this picture from Riley’s grandparents who drove out to Florida for a week to catch a glimpse of our little minor leaguer. Aren’t they precious?!!
I couldn’t help but share this sweet picture. The Friday before Spring Break Dillon walked Carly into school so he could say hello to his 4th grade teacher. How crazy is it that he is so much taller than she is now? We have been so blessed to have her teach both Dillon & Carly.
Then it was off to Orlando for us!
We dipped our toes in the Atlantic at Cocoa Beach
Visited the Kennedy Space Center
Had our first visit to Disney World
While the boys were catching big fish!!
Caught dinner with these cuties
Tackled a 2nd day at Disney with the whole crew
This is the last place my man would want to be but he was such a good sport and I was excited to take a spin with him.
Watched Riley toss a few at practice
Dropped this sweet girl off at the airport so she could get back to school.
Carly enjoyed the pool at our hotel while Dillon chose to sleep…teenagers! The only thing better about hotel pools on vacation is having a dad at the pool on vacation!!
We closed down Disney
We closed out our trip watching the Astros play the Nationals before heading home.
Of course our first stop was Mexican food! Since Keith works in Round Rock and we didn’t get to Austin until almost 8pm we decided to spend the night.
We hit up Top Golf before heading back to College Station. I just love seeing these two get along even if it is in brief spurts!
Hmmmm…..did I order all this stuff before I left?!! Oops
My Dutch was not about to leave my side once I arrived.
Girls breakfast for St. Patrick’s Day but this girl has her own mind and wasn’t the least bit interested in wearing green.
Dropped Dillon and a friend off at a local pond for fishing. This boy eats, sleeps and dreams about fishing right now!
I finally made it to look at material to go with our bathroom granite and replace the shower in our master. Not looking forward to dropping the $$ but it needs to be redone so bad.
Made myself some lists…..and put them somewhere I will have to look at every day until they are done!
Picked something fun to wear for our girls weekend to Fort Worth.
Stopped on Hwy 6 to take some pictures of these cuties in the bluebonnets.
My favorite time of year to drive around Texas!
Spent the weekend hanging with our besties and celebrating Holden’s 11th birthday!
And of course there was more Mexican food!
Lots of sightseeing!
And even an armadillo race with my bestie! We are fun girls y’all!
Of course we could not go to Fort Worth without stopping by a TCU baseball game. It’s always extra special to see your brother’s picture on the wall of All Americans.
A friend is someone who allows you to be exactly who you are and loves you anyway….these girls are such a fun example of friendship. They are honest (sometimes to a fault) with each other, laugh together, encourage each other and truly balance each other out. I can’t tell you how many times this weekend Holly & I watched them and then looked at each other and said “they are us”. Feeling blessed by our besties!
Whew….that was a lot. If you hung in there until the end you are a trooper and I thank you!
Hope you have a super week!
Join me in linking up with all my faves you can find here.

Top Golf is so fun…you guys would love it!
Weather turned out perfect Kimm!
Someone from your family plays for the Astros?! How cool is that! She did so good at doing her hair, how funny that she took it out before pictures!

My oldest son was drafted by the Astros last June Darcy….so much fun! He is in the minor leagues of course but hoping he will have a great career.
Yes Keith wears contacts and I actually had lasik done almost 12 years ago. Best investment ever!! My littles want to wear contacts so bad but so far neither has been able to get them in.
Loved all the pics! Whew! What a busy, fun week!
What a fun week…you packed a lot in! Back to the routine around here too. Look forward to seeing more about your trip.
That is awesome!! My hubby and I were just talking last night about how good the Astros are going to be this year. So exciting for him and your family!
Oh my goodness so much to love her. Her hair was so cute, why'd she take it down?! Those bestie shirts are amazing and the Disney photos made my heart so happy. Hope you are having a great Monday.
Oh my! You have been busy with lots of good stuff! Fun to see your spring training pics! We will be in Orlando at the end of april for a week and I cannot wait! I don't think we will do Disney but will still be awesome!!

…..and now I need a nap after all that! Whew! What a fun filled week you have. I am kind of sad now that my girls are grown and off working — even my college senior opted to work during spring break! the pkgs at the door? You're lucky no one would take them. Out here, in our town, those pkgs would be stolen. Yup, horrible but true! Have a fabulous week!
Wow! You guys really covered a lot of ground! Good for you! So glad you had good weather for Disney! I laughed at the pile of packages on your doorstep! FUN!!

My goodness, that is my kind of week! I need to hang with you! You can't get better than Disney World, Top Golf, baseball, and I believe that was Joe T. Garcia's, all in one week. Your St. Patrick's Day outfit was adorable, too. Have a great week!
My family doesn't always like vacation with me…..I'm all about packing in everything possible and they are all about sleeping and relaxing..haha
It turned out so perfect! I laughed too….and gave my older daughter a really hard time because she was dog sitting but never thought to check the mail or the front porch..lol! Hope you are having a great week Sheila!
Well….Jordan was dog sitting but I never thought to tell her (or didn't think I needed to tell her) to check the mail and the front porch! haha. We are pretty lucky in our neighborhood for the most part.
I would love to hear about what else you love to do there Carylee. I seriously cannot imagine going if I didn't have an agenda. I had a hard time researching places to eat, etc. that weren't chain restaurants and finding other things to do besides theme parks. Of course if you love putt putt that is on every corner. haha
We had a great time Tanya! Hope you will be sharing about your trip soon…that is on my bucket list so big!!
I can pack it in Laura….my family isn't always happy about it. 🙂
Yes! That's good. We have had some break ins in our neighborhood but it's been well over a year. When we started our remodel in January 2015? One of the subs got things taken out of the work truck! They just pulled up and jumped out and took things and drive off! Crazy! But some kids were caught shortly after and it stopped. Makes me mad cuz they come to the other side of town. Do your dirty business in your neighborhood! Not mine!
