Easter...........It is all about The resurrection!!!

This year we had Easter at Nelson's sisters house in Waller. They have a beautiful house with lots of land to get lost on. We hunted eggs, sat by the pool and outdoor fireplace because it was cold and windy. We had our annual horseshoe contest. Ronnie and I are the reining champions but this year we were teamed up with different people and did not do so good. Madeline took my spot she really wanted to play. We were surround with family making the day perfect. The best part of the day was watching Steven and Peyton getting each other with real eggs. I have not laughed that hard in a long time.

Madeline and her new glasses

Well just wanted to post a picture of Madeline Paige in her new glasses. She is not thrilled with this picture but I thought it was good enough. She is not that excited about having to wear glasses and braces in high school. I am over the moon with the new look. Anything to keep the boys at bay!!!!

Enchanted Rock Vacation

For spring break we went to hike Enchanted Rock and then stay in a B&B in Fredricksburg. We had a great time. The view is just amazing and well worth the trip up. Here is just a few pictures of our trip.

Madeline Who?.......

First she tells us she wants to change her name to her first name and no longer go by her middle name of Paige. We all try and accommodate her on this very difficult task. Try calling someone a new name after you have called her that for 15 years. It is hard for me. She is Paige to me. She has grown into her name. The latest she has been begging me to let her get her hair colored dark. I am starting to wonder what is going on with this child? First the name now the new hair? Should I be worried? Is this normal for a teenager to want to change so much? Nelson is so sad. He likes her hair Blonde and her tomboy name of Paige that he named her at birth. Just when I am starting to get use to the idea of the name change. BAM she goes and changes something else. I know she is just trying to figure out who she is, But honestly I am not sure I can take anymore. I know a girl has to "Represent" but come on!

Sick but never alone

Peyton has spent the last 2 days sick. She has not been this sick since July when we were in Guatemala. We were reminiscing about how nice it is this time to have a normal bathroom and a washer and dryer for the accidents. We are so blessed to have a couch to sleep on. As things progressed we tried to keep our focus on the "at least we have". The most amazing thing was that Sugar was the best nurse of all she never left Peyton's side. And as many of you know this dog is not one to be so compassionate. I just had to take a picture of it for proof that she is a dog worth having around.

Friday Night Fun-BB at Bracken

Here are just a few pictures of Madeline playing basketball at Bracken on Friday night. They played so good. Check out the only kid with her arms crossed. Madeline is so funny she is such a joy to watch her play her heart out. I am so sad that the season will be ending soon. What will we do with our Tuesday night and Friday nights free?

Family Fun.......

My Youngest brother Tyson and his sweet family came to see us during the Christmas break. Here is some pictures of our day at the park. We are so sad to see them leave. We just love having family around and lazy days to enjoy them. We took them to one of Madeline's basketball games. She was so proud to show off her cousins. They have a new baby on the way in June and we are excited to see all the fun we will have next Christmas. (Tyson and Melissa if you are reading this THANK YOU THANK YOU for the visit. I know it can be a pain to travel with small kids but we sure enjoy having you here.)
