Blue Devils...

Favorite part of soccer.. the snack and drink afterwards!
Why score a goal when you can hang on it?! It is much more fun!


Coaches ... Funny when the dad grew up together and are now coaching the kids.... Are we really that old?!

Wednesday Fun


Hanging out..

(notice the socks, he dressed himself.. everything is camo and socks that do not match!)

A few weeks ago Skeet and Nini started taking the kids to church with them on Wednesday nights... This has been the best arrangement. I have struggled with the not having the traditional things in church that I grew up with, but love the music and pastor at our "contemporary"church now... So, this has been a blessing! They eat at First Baptist (where Zach and I met and grew up with the best youth minister ever) then do kids choir.. our church does not do anything on Wednesday nights or kids choir. Here are the kids hanging in tree waiting on their ride Wednesday. It is a great way for them to see their Skeet and Nini too.. did I mention it creates a date night for Zach and I?! Even better. I just hope it does not stop when summer comes!

Beginning of Easter fun






My handsome boyMommy did not get dressed up for the hunt obviously!



Happy Girl










Where have we been?! It seems between the stomach bug, sinus infections, and fires we have been down and out on and off for a few weeks. The cedar takes a toll on Zach, he is struggling to breathe these days. If it does not rain soon might all be in trouble. (It has not rained since Sept of last year)

Today we started our first round of Easter Egg hunts... I love Easter, such a great time of year and the kids hopefully will learn the real meaning.. meanwhile we love the hunts, activities, learning about Jesus, and my favorite matching outfits! Today we joined the gang at First Methodist at Hill Park for the annual egg hunt... They do such a great job at making sure everyone gets plenty of eggs.... which in turn means plenty of candy. I can see the look on Zach's face as the kids are opening up all the candy... it is like anxiety setting in. He is anti candy so he just cringes as each kid holds up another laffy taffy as if they won a gold medal. It is always a battle, I love the people who put silly bands and toys in there so it keeps the peace! It seems my children have my sweet tooth! Looking forward to a fun week now off to see the Blue Devils play a game against the green dragons... pictures will follow!
