Easter 2019

We had a fun Easter celebrating with our family!  This was the last holiday we will spend at my parent's house  since they will be moving at the beginning of June, so it was a little bittersweet.

The kids woke up to Easter baskets and eggs hidden around the house.

We went to church and enjoyed celebrating with our church family.

After church, we headed to Granna and Granstan's for our annual Easter egg hunt with the cousins.

The triplets were sick but Uncle Craig brought Holland to hunt eggs.

Parker really had to hunt for his eggs!

We ended the day with the first swim of the season.  We are going to miss this pool so much this summer.

It was a great Easter Sunday and, as always, we had a great time spending it with our family!

CEC Day at the Railroaders

We enjoyed spending the day with Daddy's co-workers at The Depot- home of the Cleburne Railroaders baseball team.  The highlights of the day were meeting Spike, the mascot for the Railroaders, and playing softball with the kids. 

Eden loved getting her face painted this year!

The weather was perfect and we enjoyed spending the day together.  Thanks Cleburne Eye Clinic for hosting a fun, family day!

5th Six Weeks Awards

While I was at ITZ with Parker, Cory and my mom were attending the girls 5th six weeks awards programs.  They both received awards for A Honor Roll, Perfect Attendance, and Perfect Conduct.  I am so proud of their hard work and can't believe we only have one more six weeks to go!  Summer is getting so close!!

ITZ Band Competition

Today I had the opportunity to chaperone the SMS Beginning Band to their first competition at ITZ Family Amusement Center in Euless.  I was so excited when Parker asked me if I wanted to go!  He has absolutely loved learning how to play the trumpet in band this year and it was amazing to see how much these kids have learned about music in just a few short months.

We were the first band to perform and the kids did a great job!  They received a superior rating and took home a nice trophy.

I had to miss Parker's first concert back in February so it was nice to finally get to hear the band play together.

After their performance, the judge talked to the band and told them what he liked about their performance.  He then gave out awards to several students who stood out to him as doing an exceptional job.  I was so proud when he chose Parker as one of the recipients!

For the rest of the trip, the students spent their time eating pizza and playing video games.  Parker had so much fun with his friends and I enjoyed visiting with some of the other chaperones.

It was a fun day and I enjoyed spending time with Parker and his friends.  I'm so thankful he's had a good year in band and I'm glad he's signing up to be in it again next year.

Happy 10th Birthday Aubrey!

We started April with a fun sleepover celebrating Aubrey's 10th birthday!  It's hard to believe another kid has reached double digits in the family.  These kids are growing up way too fast!

Aubrey had a few friends over and Emily sent up tents in the playroom for them to sleep in.  Emily and I gave manicures and pedicures to all the girls and then they watched a movie. I'm not sure what time they finally fell asleep but it was much later than my bedtime!

My girls had a great time helping Aubrey celebrate her birthday!  We hope she felt very loved on her special day!
