Practices/Games Cancelled.....time to blog!!

First of all, let me say that all of these pics were taken with my iphone. I still havent purchased one of those card readers for my digital camera......such a procrastinator. You work with what you've got, right??!! ANYWAY........here we go!

These are from the Dinosaur Valley in Glen Rose, TX. The second graders went there for their field trip a few weeks ago. Here is Thomas with some of his classmates......





Each of the kids could sift through the sand to find a treasure. It was filled with fossils and shark teeth. They could take home 3 things.......Of course, Thomas chose the teeth.

We had a good time!!



Here is my new niece, Savannah Raquel, born April 16th to my sister, Farrah in New Mexico.
She wasn't supposed to be born until May 1, but came early!! I had already purchased my plane ticket for May 13........so she will almost be 4 weeks when I get there, but we will still have time to bond!!!! On a sidenote, my youngest sister Misty, is expecting in November!!! YAY for more cousins!! That will make 10 grandkids (6 boys, 3 girls so far) for my Dad!!! : )
Here we are at the Race for the Cure a few weeks ago in Waco. Our best babysitter EVER, Ms. Cooky, fought breast cancer in August and WON!
J and I ran the 5K and the kids and Cooky (along with her husband, Dan) walked the one mile in honor of Cooky and all of the other survivors!!!




PLAY BALL!!!
Softball/baseball/tball has begun in our little town. Here is Jill with one of her BFFs from even before PreK.........her mom and I were hoping that she and Jill would be on the same team for once, but........no luck...again.........
Yes, they are the same age and no, Jill isnt standing on anything......


Grant on Opening Day.....
Thomas on Opening Day........


Jill..........someday I WILL get a good smile out of her!!

Grant with his "eye black" on.........the other two had already gotten rid of theirs by the time I remembered to take pics of it.........
i went and picked out some colors of paint to try on the interior of the house today.....hopefully I can decide and get it done.....SOON, like.......BEFORE school is out so I wont have so much help.
ALSO......for all of you triathlon people out there.....the Waco triathlon is back! J and I are signed up for the beginner one. www.triwaco.org July 26---the day after J turns 39!!!!
We'd love to hear your tips for the transitioning from event to event........HELP, SHELLEY!!
****Like my new blog look??? My Cousin, Shelley, is a blog designer girl. You can find her link from my list to the side.........
HAPPY TUESDAY TO ALL!!

Easter.....and some other stuff!

Well.....sometimes we make good choices and sometimes we make bad choices! The boys decided to let Jill dress them up as girls.....complete with American Girls in hand and all.....
I am afraid in later years they will come to regret the photo below.......but it IS kinda funny!


Did the Easter Bunny bring anyone else batting gloves this year???

Here we are outside our house.....Jill is 10, Thomas is 8, Grant is 6.

Jonathan's parents came to visit for Easter. It was so much fun having them. His aunt and uncle from Denton came on Saturday for a visit.......how did I not get a picture of them????
Jonathan's Dad and brother look so much alike!!
Here are Jonathan and I........with the kids egg hunting in the background. I guess I should have been taking pics of them........

Ms Cooky and Dan came over for Easter lunch, too. She is recovering from a double mastectomy and treatment, but is getting stronger everyday! We are doing the Race for the Cure in her honor this weekend. Another 5K! I'll post pics of that this weekend........
Happy Wednesday to all!
**I am going to Dinosaur World with Thomas's class tomorrow. Went to the Mayborn with G's class last week. I guess I need to post those pics too!!!!!!!!
