This week was spent with the boys going to VBS and Jill going to basketball camp in the mornings, then the Waterpark in Waco, and Jonathan and I doing an enrollment.........he went to pick up the truckload of fireworks today while I finished the enrollment. Can you believe we've had our own stand for 10 YEARS!!?? It hardly seems possible.....we've truly been blessed by the business we are able to maintain.......God is good.

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!!!!!!!!

Warning!! LOTS of pics ahead!

OK....this is the second time I have tried to post this....hope yall get to see and read it! As most of you know, the Davis Girls take a trip or get together sometime around Spring Break. This year, we did it last Fri-Sun in Abilene. We got there, had lunch, visited, shopped a little, toured a bed and breakfast............then Lady gives us all a paper sack and says to put our makeup, pjs, and a change of clothes in it. We were going on an adventure! We ended up at the Embassy Suites or Elegante or whatever it is called now......it was FUN!
Here is Carra bringing in the stuff..........

Gisela, Jennifer, Micah, and Hannah.....

UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

MIA...........

Being made to sit on the couch for a week makes you appreciate your mobility! I have taken full advantage of it for 3 weeks now......thus, no posts! Here's what we've been up to...

SING SONG AT ACU===The kids and I went and had a good time! Why doesnt the iphone have a flash???
KJK won (good job, girls!) and we enjoyed the show! Some nice person in the ticket office even let me exchange our tickets for some on row 8, instead of row 50, due to the ankle! THANK YOU!
On the same trip to Abilene, we got to see one of my nephews bball games. Here is the cheering section.....4 cousins, a sister, his mom, and LADY! Of course the concession stand was open at 8:30 am so we HAD to get a coke.....Ben wanted to know where HIS coke was and why did we all have one and not him!!?? He did a good job!

Sweet Grant made this for me for V Day at school..........he loves his momma!

Recognize these 2 Famous Americans?

Thomas Jefferson on the left; Lincoln on the right......(also our neighbor)

They had to give speeches containing clues and the kids and parents had to guess who they were! It was cute and they all did a great job.

NICE WIG, THOMAS!

What else!!??

I went to a Mom Slumber Party last Fri night while J took the kids to see the Jonas Bros 3D concert! I think I had more fun........somehow no group pic from the mom party.........next time we will definitely do that! IF we can get everyone off of Facebook! haha

Baseball season is upon us.....OH MY! I better start the cooking/freezing/finding Crock Pot recipes now..........these practice and game schedules times 3 kids in 3 leagues is chaos. : )

The kids got report cards yesterday.....out of the three of them, only one got a B in one subject! The rest A's......we are blessed and THANKFUL.

Dad.....the TX weather has been in the 80s this week. Its glorious! Family Yard Work Day is tomorrow......Thomas asked why he had to help........I told him "it takes a village"!

Happy Weekend to ALL!
