Bluebonnets

Well, I made the kids do it again this year...and they just HATED it...but we went and took bluebonnet pictures anyway! I'm such a mean mom!!!

Children's Choir Musical - GPS (God's Plan of Salvation)

Brody did a great job in the musical this year. He had a small speaking role for the first time, which he was very excited about!

Brody's 11th Birthday

I can't believe Brody is 11 years old! His birthday was this past Saturday...wow! We had a nice family dinner with Grandmom and Granddad and Josh....friends party is in a couple weeks. Also, Jennifer came into town because, of course, she practically IS family! It was a great weekend!

Regional Science Fair

Brody's 5th grade science project was chosen, along with several of his classmates', to advance to the Regional Science Fair, February 27th, at the Palmer Events Center. The judges gave out either a first, second or third place ribbon to each elementary participant, and Brody received a first place! We made a real fun (but LONG) day out of it....Mom, Dad and Josh even came down and had lunch with us at Shady Grove.

Just relaxing after the judging

Lunch at Shady Grove...yummy!

Basketball Season Comes To An End

The kids had a great time playing basketball this year. Brody's team had a tough time getting wins, but they played hard! Bailey's team did great...man, those are some scrappy little girls!!!

Snowy Day

Snow Day in Austin...yay!!! And it was truly a snow DAY because it snowed pretty much all day long...big, beautiful, fluffy flakes! The kids had a blast. They still had to go to school, but got to enjoy it once they got home. And we just found out that they get to start two hours later tomorrow morning, so they're very excited about that! :)

Boomer

This past Monday was a very sad day...we had to put our wonderful dog, Boomer, to sleep. He was absolutely the best dog in the world!
