This is the last Easter post, I promise!

And the tradition continues as every Easter afternoon KT has us over for a late lunch and some great fellowship time! The kids have a big Easter egg hunt and then there is the confetti egg madness........such fun!


Me and KT who is an amazing cook and an even better friend!

All the kids and some of the moms - checking out the prizes in the Easter eggs!

My other "sister" Shan who comes along with her family to celebrate!

Me and G - a rare picture without any children:)

Confetti Egg madness - need I say more.

May you rejoice in the triumph of our Lord at Easter and always!

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28: 19-20

Until next Easter...

Easter, part II

After fun presents and a great breakfast we headed off to Sunday school and Church! Of course it was too cold for the boys to wear the original outfit I had planned and purchased, but they still looked cute:)



The picture we always take with Darin and the bunny rabbits.

Easter morning!

B was the first to rise...so excited to see what the Easter bunny left him! He is starting to have some doubts about how realistic Santa and the Easter Bunny are, but he knows that in order to receive, he must believe!



Lu - still a true believer is very impressed with his basket full of goodies!


This year we started an Easter egg scavenger hunt. The boys had a blast reading the clues, finding the eggs and locating the big prize!



And as always....our Easter shaped pancakes compliments of the best father and husband around!

Easter Weekend

Easter is one of my very favorite holiday's as we have many traditions that we do as a family. Our church has some amazing services that we are able to attend including the Living Last Supper which illustrates Jesus' last meal on earth. This year I think the boys really learned something and were able to summarize what they had seen and heard that evening. Friday we all have the day off and we spend that time dying confetti eggs and getting ready for the Easter bunny to arrive. Saturday we have breakfast with our church family and participate in many games and activities - our favorite one being the Easter egg hunt! This year the weather was beautiful and we were blessed to have some of our dearest friends attend with us!

George Washington

Lu's first grade class did a living museum today of famous Americans. They were all so great! Of course, I was partial to George Washington a.k.a. Lu! He did an amazing job of memorizing his lines and delivering them each time someone came by and pushed his green button! The other first graders and well as staff and parents toured the museum for about one hour this morning. It was something!

A New Beginning

I can't believe that Spring Break is officially over. I had such big plans for the week - cleaning closets, catching up on scrap booking, reading a great book, dusting, vacuuming....and now it is Sunday evening and while I got bits and pieces done, there is plenty of things I did not get around to doing. What I did do, was spend some great time with the boys - and that is way better than anything on my "to do" list! Poor B ran fever Monday - Thursday. The doctor believed it to be just a virus, and he really didn't feel that bad, but every night around 5 o'clock the fever came back. I drug him to the Aggie baseball game on Wednesday, convinced that some sunshine would do him some good (also convinced that he would not spread his illness to others at said event). We made it about 45 minutes before he was ready to go home! Meanwhile, Lu was an amazing trooper - my true right hand for the week, helping out while brother laid on the couch and watched a lot of TV!!

We finally made it out to do everything we had planned - unfortunately it was crammed into one day. Here was the schedule:
Breakfast out then to Wal-Mart for a new toy each! Home to play with the toy and then off to bowl and play miniature golf and spend time in an arcade - all at a nice new recreation place in town! Finally a late lunch before heading home. Needless to say we were all happy - and exhausted - that night!

Then today was an amazing time for our church as we were able to worship in our new sanctuary. It is an outstanding building that was prayed about for many years before finally coming to be this morning. It was a Palm Sunday our family will never forget as we worshipped and ate lunch with some of our dearest friends. If you don't have a church home or need a place to worship for Easter Sunday, I would invite you to visit Christ United Methodist Church.

This picture of the boys was taken on the grounds of the new building. I think it sums up the day and even the week perfectly. God bless each of you and may this Holy week find you in awe of our saviour, Jesus Christ!

Happy Anniversary!

Well, G and I are celebrating 13 years of marriage today. Wow! Some days that seems like a long time and other days that seems impossible! I certainly think we are happier now than we have ever been - there is a certain level of maturity and understanding that comes with 13 years! We got a baby-sitter for tonight and plan to go out for a fabulous dinner. We are looking forward to amazing food and great conversation. (I also have a fabulous new pair of Jessica Simpson shoes that I am anxious to show off!!)

A Dark Day....

Something I never thought would happen to us has happened to us. After attending countless Aggie events and wearing maroon since birth one of my sons has crossed over to the dark side. We are mourning this event as any good Aggie would.....





G is simply devastated and wants to find a new job where he doesn't have to travel so much and can be around more to be a stronger influence on B! I say it is simply a phase he is going through. There are a couple of boys at his school who are really into the Longhorns and B is friends with these boys and I think this is his attempt to fit in! I am trying to encourage him that he can like whatever he wants and still have friends who might like other things. He insists this is simply not the case. I will have to leave it to life to teach him the truth - but I will make sure to guide him as best I can!

The other reason I am probably not all that concerned: the first day he wore his new t.u. t-shirt to school it was cold outside so he had to put his A&M hoody on top! I sure love that kid!!

Gig 'Em Ags! Whoop!!
