Okay, here I go again. I'm sorry it's been so long, but with no kids at home during the day, I am busy!! Here's what's been happening in our house since Christmas.


Here's Julia at her square dancing performance. Notice the hands? She is NOT going to hold this boys hands for nothing. She was very upset that Curtis had the video cam going.

This is Taylor as the Good Witch in the play, "The Wizard of Oz". She got to sing a solo and did a wonderful job. Doesn't she look so nice and pretty?

Even though Julia was not a part of the group that did the play, they did ask her to help backstage with the props and the curtain. It was a huge honor for her to be asked!!


I know it's gross, but Josh was so excited to get these teeth out. Curtis pulled the second one out and Josh didn't even know it. There's just something cute about a kid with 2 missing teeth.

I was looking at the trees and look what my sneaky kids were going to do.....throw snowballs at me. We were up in Lakeside during Spring Break and it snowed on us! It was so pretty!!



Happy Easter!! Do I take pictures of them all dressed up in their Easter clothes? No. I take the picture with their baskets on their heads!!

Taylor had her 4th grade field trip down to Austin on Apr. 16th. This is a cavern just full of beautiful formations. They found it while digging for a freeway.

Taylor's words: "This is the Bob Bullock Museum. I am standing with my friends. We got there by charter busses. Amost all the girls in my class, which is 8, got private seats."


"This is the capitol of Texas with all of my classmates, except 2. We walked from the Bob Bullock Museum to here, which is about 5 blocks."

What happened on our way back from Austin?

Hail. And lots of it. This picture was taken the next day. I had the camera so Curtis couldn't take pictures of all the hail. In some areas, there was as much as 6 inches of marble-sized hail.

See the leaves? Those are from our newly-leafed tree. The hail was coming so hard that it shredded the leaves on our trees, all of our flowers, and our newly planted garden - all ruined. Our sky-light was also shattered. What a mess!!

The good news is that we were still able to go to Utah and visit Shelly and family. It was really, really short, but we had a lot of fun!!
I bet you can't tell who their favorite cousin is in Utah? Thanks, Shelly for letting us come and go crazy for a weekend!!
