Not the best pic ever (all these are taken with my phone!) but in the cold looking directly into the sun after eating out and having a few desserts each...my kids are still and look somewhat happy! Yea! This is an accomplishment! Khaki pants and pastel polos for the boys...and my little girl got a pink chiffon dress with white sandals (can't see em, but take my word for it...they're adorable!) and that headband...my my...having a girl is fun! We had one chocolate Easter bunny each (they could eat the ears and head after lunch, but to eat the whole thing later, they had to do 50 push ups!) and enjoyed our day together! What a super group of kiddos!! Signed, Proud Mom

Boston at LTC
Here is Boston showing off his name badge...at LTC at the Anatole yesterday. This was a large Church of Christ "competition" of sorts, with kids showing off their skills in many areas. Boston participated in the elementary large choir and puppets. There have been many practices so we're glad LTC is over! But it was very fun to see him perform. So proud of you, Big Un!

The Car
On our way out the door at Vanessa's, Sissy spotted "the car"... one of those little kid coupes with the opening door and steering wheel. She couldn't take her eyes off of it...and in less than one second, Vanessa said, "You can take that with you if you want!" hint hint...yeah, I get it, Ness...you want it off your property! Well, I said, "Only if it fits in the back!" And yes, it fit. Every second outside since then, Sissy has HAD to ride in the car, be pushed in the car, or push the car herself. She has screamed at all of us for not doing what she wants... that's a new one... haha. Well, the princess has her coach...and I guess that makes us the servants...:)

Our Trip to West
Saturday morning, in a fit of boredom and Spring Break blahs, I called Vanessa and said, "Get in your car and come see me!" She said, "Get in YOUR car and come see us...it's Kids Night Out tonight!" This means that you dump off your kids at Van's church from 5:30-9:30 pm and go have some good ol' adult fun! How could I turn that down?? We loaded up (without toothbrushes and extra clothes...so unnecessary!) and headed south. We got there just in time and the kids had a great time, while the adults went to Buzzard Billy's in Waco to eat some Cajun faire. Pops joined us! Yea! This pic is Vanessa, me, and Pops outside the Starbucks where the party ended up. We woke up this morning to cinnamon rolls and Sissy saying "puppy" for the 1000th time...that girl has a one track mind! Thanks, Ness, we loved it!

5 Things You Don't Know...Hmmm...
Vanessa has "tagged" me with the "5 Things You Don't Know About Me" column. Let's see how I do...
1. I am addicted to 3 "food" items...Sonic Iced Tea (Route 44 size...drink 4-6 per week!); protein smoothies (so conveniently located inside 24 Hour Fitness where I am 6 days/week!); and protein bars (can you see the trend here for caffeine, protein, and energy!).
2. I don't cook anymore. With my night job, my lack of sleep, my finicky eaters, and so many yummy fast food places around, I cook--I mean really COOK--maybe 3 times/month! This is so hideous, but true. Mac 'n cheese with hot dogs is not really cooking...neither is German sausage with rice (pre-packaged rice that you zap for 90 seconds!).
3. I go to a tanning bed. This is peace and solace for me. 20 minutes of nonstop adult music, coupled with extra skin pigmentation...and all this for only 20 bucks a month? Bargain...
4. I am a texting fool! When D and I started texting, then gradually adding friends that texted, we got our phone bill up to $750 in one month before T-Mobile let me know that for only 10 bucks I could have unlimited texting! Last month, I had 1300 texts--just me--not including Darrin's...could this be another addiction??
5. My second and third toes on my right foot are separating! Don't know why...neither did the expert foot doctor at Baylor Hospital who called my condition "funny-lookin'"...wow...I paid $175 for that?? He said, "Have you tried taping them together?" Ummm...no...not until summer gets here...and sandals... oooo..
I would like to see Shelley, Cara, and whoever else wants to join in this fun to complete this task!

Sissy the Ham!
I got my little angel out of bed this morning, changed her diaper, and told her to head to the table for breakfast...this is how she arrived! Wearing her brother's new glasses that go with his new Dart Tag game, that girl is stylin'! I said to smile for the camera, and she just placed that little hand under her chin and posed...what is happening here!!?? She brings us so much joy!

Beau's Birthday in January
Well, with all the info about Branson's party...my little guy, Beau, wanted me to tell everyone about HIS party in January when he turned the big "5"! He had a Transformer party (of course, as he has about 25 of them) and we had a good time at McDonald's (this one was SUPPOSED to be at McD's). This picture is of Beau on the left and his best friend, Colby Stone, son of Corey and Lisa Stone from ACU. He is excited that he will go to kindergarten next year...his mamma, on the other hand, is not so excited...:(

Good Ol' Texas Weather!
This picture was taken on Feb 10th...the boys were out enjoying the 80 degree weather at the grandparents' house on Lake Tawakoni. They wanted to go swimming...that is until they got in ankle-deep! Freezing cold water! But as you can tell, they had a great time wading. They have so much fun together...I hope they keep these friendships strong for a lifetime!
Branson's 7th BDay Party
Well, we had such a good plan! A Football party complete with balls for everyone, cones for running routes, and Daddy to pass/punt/kick to boys all afternoon....until the weather came! It started sprinkling the second we got the cake out of the car on Sunday afternoon, and along with the raindrops came Branson's tears. Poor guy! I felt bad for him! But we headed over to the local McDonald's (really we had about 5 to choose from that were nearby) and had a heck of a time running around with about 30 other kids in the stuffy greasy playland! The highlight of the party was the string of curse words found in the tunnel slide--written in Sharpie, no less-- and trying to explain exactly what they were without really explaining...fun times in Dallas, TX!!! He got tons of gifts and had fun...can't believe that boy is 7! Boo hoo...
