Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter morning.

The Easter Bunny brought chocolate,
Goldfish, and ...

Skylanders for our PS3!

What a generous Easter Bunny we have.

East Texas Egg Hunt

Today, we went to Diboll for a big ham lunch with the family. Esther prepared a wonderful lunch.

After lunch, Meme and Pobby had planned an egg hunt for the kids.

Here Bailey is checking out what goodies were in the eggs.
Great picture of the four of us.

Wonderful day with wonderful people!

Easter Egg Hunt at AUMC

This year instead of the tradition egg hunt, they had stations with games or tasks to complete to earn your eggs. This one Bailey is trying to eat a peep without touching it with her hands.

Then the kids tackled the rock wall!

Posed for some pictures with the Easter Bunny.

Then finished the day with a slice of pizza.

We had a great time!

The Planetarium

Here are the kids kicked back at the planetarium in the HMNS. We saw 2012: Mayan Prophecies. Very interesting how they used the stars to chart their calendar.

GyroXtreme Ride

While we were at the HMNS, the kids could not resist a taking a turn on the GyroXtreme Ride. Here are a couple of picture of them strapping up.

Here is a short video.

The kids seem to enjoy this, but you couldn't pay me to get on that thing!

The Lorax

We took in the movie "The Lorax" today. It was cute.

The kids really enjoyed it!

Jack's Open House

Last night was Jack's open house at WCE. Here he is with his second grade teacher, Mrs. King.

Jack did a great drawing of Lincoln.

We visited the music room and played with some instruments.

Love my Cowboy Jack!

Jack won a blue ribbon for his Picture that went along with the book "Why Cowboys Sleep With Their Books On" for speach class.We had a great time and best of all Grandma got to go!

Wordless Wednesday

March Picture of the Month

It's March 2012 and we got a new Town and Country van! I don't know who is more excited, me or the kids. This is the first time they have a new car experience. We traded in the Miada and are going to keep the Tribute. March is going to be a busy month. With the kids' open houses at school, spring break, and a visit from Grandma. Looking forward to it all!

Player of the Day

Today, Jack B was awarded the title "PLAYER OF THE DAY" in the First in Math Online Mathematics Program!

JB's Science Fair Project

Here is my Jackie Boy with his Science Fair Project. Jack sorted and counted M&Ms to see if there was a color that appeared more than the rest. He counted 48 packages (2,704 M&Ms) and found that green was the color that appeared the most and brown was the least. He did a great job on his display board and on his “interview” at school.

His teacher, Mrs. Clarke, emailed me the following note: "I wanted to let you know how awesome Jack did yesterday at the science fair :) He didn't need any help answering the judges questions and they were soo impressed with the research he did!! I took a picture of him with his project and when I get a copy I will give you
one. Be very proud he did soo good."

February Picture of the Month

February has arrived and we are still remodeling our house. This has been going on for a couple of months now and the end is in sight. Working on the kitchen and family room now. I'll post pictures of the work when we are finished.
