Spring Happened...

And I never wrote a single blog to document it!!  I really need to make this blog writing more of a habit.  But if you will bear with me and don't mind a long post...I'll catch you up!
Let's start!
~Spring break...We did a variety of things, like breakfast out, park trips, firestation visits, two Texas hill country adventures (Boerne and Fredricksburg) and of course just resting!


All collages were made with a great iPhone app called Pic Collage!
~Spring field trips- Both Jonas and Lorelei had field trips to Fiesta Farms.  I took off both days to spend with them at the farm.  They both loved it!  My 1st graders had a field trip Enchanted Springs Ranch in Boerne!  It was great!




~I never posted any Easter photos so here's a few pictures. It was a lovely day. Church at St.Francis and lunch at Nana's and Papa's with an Easter Egg hunt of course!




~We took two camping trips this spring, both very different.  The first collage was of our trip to Concan, Texas to Riverbend campground on the Frio River.  It was rustic and beautiful.  We camped in a tent!  We loved every minute of it.  Our second trip was to Jellystone at Canyon Lake.  Definitely more commercial.  We stayed in a cabin because it rained all week and there was suppose to be a thunderstorm the first night we were there (and there was!).  It was Mother's Day weekend.  We did have a very nice time, but preferred camping in the tent at the more rustic and natural setting of Riverbend.

~We had lots of school events like: Orchestra concerts for Bailey (1st chair viola!), choir performances for Savannah, Tea Parties and pre-school graduation for Lorelei, A kindergarten program for Jonas and even a neat Poetry hour with my 1st graders!
 
~Then of course we can't forget the every day moments like train rides at Breckenridge, pretend play at home, swimming, back porch swinging, and those precious sleeping moments I can't get enough of!

It was a fun, memory filled Spring!  Summer is in full swing now.  And I hope to keep the blog going with more updates and events from the Boyen Bunch!!

Ziplining!

Helotes Hill Country Zipline ...did you even know this place existed?  I know I have driven past the sign on Bandera Road, but honestly never paid much attention.  Because really, how awesome of a place can it be just two miles from my house?  I realize my house is on a hill and I know there are several large hills in our area, but I didn't realize what was literally in my own back yard. A sweet boy from Savannah's 8th grade Science class has been persistently pestering her to go ziplining with him.  She tried to say no a dozen times, in a dozen different ways.  She finally agreed last minute when she asked if she could bring someone.  After a few tries of different friends, she settled on her daddy!  He's an adventure junky, and honestly in the last 10 years, hasn't had a whole lot of adventure.  Lorelei and I went along to take pictures and watch.  It looked exhilarating and breathtaking, but with my fear of heights, I said a polite, ...

"Spring" into Summer

I've officially been on summer vacation for a week now, even though technically, according to the calendar, it's still spring. It's the earliest I've ever gotten out of school as a teacher. Can't decide if I like it or not! The kids have been done with their semester since the beginning of May, although Savannah's graduate program never really ends, so she's still knee-deep in classes, exams, and labs. We are inching our way into summer, more than "springing" into it. The usual "mayhem" of Maycember seemed more "peace"ful this year (see what I did there?), although we did squeeze a lot into April and May. March wrapped up with my second Spring Break with Jonas and Lorelei. Lorelei met with a specialist in Houston, so we had a mini trip just the two of us.  When we got home, Jonas was able to get a ride back to spend some time at home. We had a fun day in San Antonio doing some of our favorite things.  Nowhere Bookshop... Train r...

A fall full of fun...

Christmas is springing up all over. Even at school, our Principal has already put up our foyer tree and decorated the front office. Last year, the countdown sign went up with 40 days until Christmas; this year's says 48!  I've barely recovered from October! I think I'm going to need a minute before I can embrace the next holiday season. I'm still enjoying my fall mantle for now.  We did cram October full of fall fun. From new college adventures to old traditions at home.  The first weekend in October, we mixed things up a bit by heading to a movie on the lawn at The Rock at La Cantera. If you haven't been and live in SA, you must give it a try. We had perfect weather that evening.  Lorelei bravely went and got her first tattoo the next day. She picked a bundle of sweet pea flowers in honor of me. I call her sweet pea, especially through text when I tell her goodnight.  Jonas had his first official bike race. He and his team got some practice in on a race just no...
