A couple of cool pics.

Mara's Easter dress. She borrowed the purse. She is so dang cute!
Kenneth caught his 1st fish over Spring break. It was a small sunfish but a BIG first for him. He and Brent are tied now.

More beautiful pictures of the kids!

YEAH for Bluebonnets!

Making a whistle

Freckles on Evan and the ladybug

Sam loves the Earth !

Picked roots and all.

OOH this one is yellow!

Yes I'm HAPPY!

The month of Feb!

On the 5th, Kenneth had his Pine Wood derby. He made a super fast car and named it the Weather Car. You can see the different weather symbols at the top. He came in 3rd overall beating more than 20 cars!

Mara really sat on the potty! On the 16th, right after she turned 18 months, she took off during a diaper change and sat on her little potty. She hasn't gone pee pee IN the potty yet, just around the potty, but it's a start.

WE HAD FULL COVERAGE!! It snowed all day on the 22nd and it was a beautiful sight.

When the kids got home, the 1st thing they did was start throwing snow balls. They quickly turned their attention to building snowmen though. It was dirty work. We decided that gathering the white, clean snow off the trampoline and putting it on the porch would result in a better looking snowman.

We were right! It was amazing to be able to build a snowman in Austin.

Two days later, it was back in the mid 60's, so this is what was left.

Sam's Seven

Well it was over a month ago now, but we did go bowling and it was very late when we got back to have cake and ice cream. I love Sam's expression. He gets shy at the weirdest times. Happy b-day my little love.

The scale of the universe!

Click here and push play under the ad. It's pretty amazing.

It's been a fun 2 weeks

Yeah I'm 31!

( It still breaks my heart to see this pic. I added it after they lost the Superbowl)

Well, I turned 31 on the 11th and the kids bought me a whole bunch of flowers from hobby lobby. They wanted to get me flowers that wouldn't die. They are beautiful too. Brent got my wedding ring fixed so I can finally wear it again. It was an awesome day.
Brent decided he wanted his own car for his birthday. He found a 96 grand am in good running condition, but needed brake repair. He spent $650 on the car and $725 on the brakes. He is so relieved to have it. Sam's b-day is on the 1st and he wants to go bowling.

Don't Ever let the Zombies ruin your books!

I just read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and it was a nightmare! Well, I guess it was supposed to be, but I'm not really talking about the gory brain feasting, or martial arts skills, or the whole zombie mayhem. The "nightmare" was the destruction of my beloved characters morals and integrity. Of all the things I could hate about it, I hated the sexual references and infidelity the most. He basically attacked marriage with zombies.
It was interesting to read how the Zombies affected the outcome of certain characters, but mostly it was gross.
The other night I made stroganoff for dinner. I had taken one bite of the meat, when the flavor and texture reminded me of a nasty passage from the book. I couldn't eat. Brent had great fun with this though. He said we should call it 'stroganoggin' from now on and that the 'elbow' mac was a nice touch to the zombie meal. I about hurled.
Just don't read it.
