Tigger....wearing Jason's hatI could go back and try to remember the past events over the previous 6 weeks that have passed, but that would take entirely too much time. Although much of the next 8 weeks will be consumed with mainly baseball and softball, hopefully I will do a better job of keeping this up to date. We just got the boys baseball schedules and for whatever reason this season they have quite a few games that overlap and are at different fields! Last year we only experienced this with one game.
I will update with some pictures from the past 6 weeks this evening.
Spring Break for the boys has come and gone. They spent 6 days at their mom's house. They came back to us on Thursday night, but ended up going to spend the night with their cousins that night. My brother Sam and his wife Annette came in town Friday to celebrate their anniversary and to hang out with the rest of us. Saturday we all got together at Bear and Haylee's house and cooked out. All of the guys played basketball and football. After dinner, all but a few of us girls, went and played sand volleyball. Mind you it was about 50 degrees outside and it was freezing. Needless to say, the boys had a blast. They loved playing with the adults and having a 'party' (as they would call it) with the adults. Jason and I both took off Monday to spend with the boys. They had an extra day added to their spring break for bad weather. We took them to the skateboard park in Grapevine Mills Mall. They had a blast.
I've been slacking in udpating this thing! I promise to do it soon! I don't have any excuses, yet! Life is about to get back to busy as ever! Both boys are back in baseball and Jason's softball (2 times/week) has started back. I've started a running program and hope to run a 5K by early summer. I've got some recent picutres that need to be posted too! I promise I will do it soon!
Colby celebrated his birthday w/a skate party. His actual birthday is on the 13th, but we had his party early to accommodate everyone's hectic schedules. He received lots of great presents and said, 'This was the best birthday EVER!' Thank you to everyone who came. Here are a few pics from the party.

Although today is Fat Tuesday, we won't be celebrating! Perhaps we will celebrate at home! LOL! We went to Shreveport for our annual Mardi Gras trip this past weekend. We left town on Friday and returned on Sunday in time for the Super Bowl. The weather this year was great! Last year it was a bit on the chilly side. This year we had a 65 degree sunny day. We decided this year to donate most of our beads to Aunt Bonnie so she could take them to the elderly at nursing homes. We kept a few 'special' beads and we came home with lots of cups and other goodies. Can't wait until next year!
