Cruisin'

Soccer Season

Carter loved participating in the Hot Shots soccer program this year! To wrap up the season, the players held a short scrimmage and got a trophy!

Last Baseball Game

It was one of the windiest days I've ever witnessed in College Station, but that didn't stop us from meeting some friends and tailgating before the last baseball game at Olson Field! The kids thought it was a blast, which means that we will be doing a lot more of it next baseball season (and maybe even football season!). Carter LOVES baseball, so I'm hoping that one day I'll be sitting in the stands watching him play for the Aggies!

Wedding Bells

It is official...my baby brother is married!!! We are so happy that he found such a great woman to spend the rest of his life with!

It was a fun weekend, full of rehearsals, dinners, dancing and swimming! The kids thought the best part was the swimming pool at the hotel, which we visited each day. They stayed up very late for them each night, but considering everything going on, they both did a fantastic job of keeping it together all weekend! We now know for certain that dance is in our future, because all Ally did at the reception was bust a move! I'd like to say she gets her skills from her mama, but we all know that she has already surpassed me in the dancing department!

One of the best things about the weekend was catching up with family we don't see very often and old friends that have moved far away! I even learned that someone reads my blog somewhat frequently (hi, Aunt Dee Dee!).

I'm sad to say that I didn't get all the pictures I wanted (ex. there are none of the bride and groom on their wedding day), but it was a busy weekend and I was too busy taking care of the kids and having fun!

Justin and Heather, we love you and are so incredibly happy for you!

Maroon & White Game

The Aggie football team had their annual autograph session and spring game on Saturday! Carter thought it was fun to get the players to sign his ball, and Ally even warmed up and got some autographs at the end of the session!

Sam and I think the kids are going to grow up and be die-hard Aggies or totally rebel!! At least we have many more years to brainwash them before it is time for college!

Wordless Wednesday

Easter

I know this post is a little late (that what happens when every member of the family has had the stomach bug in the last two weeks), so here is a quick re-cap of our activities...

The kids loved decorating their eggs, but for some reason the Easter Bunny forgot to hide them on Easter morning! He remembered the plastic eggs but forgot all about the other ones. Luckily, the kids didn't even realize it!

The best picture of the kids dressed for church on Easter morning. Why is it that they REFUSE to take a picture together???
Hunting for eggs at Gaga's house was much more fun that hunting eggs inside out house!
I'm not sure who was more into the egg hunting this year...Ally or Carter. Of course, Carter was still not 100% from the stomach bug, and little did we know Ally would be the next one to get it (at midnight, if I remember correctly). Ally enjoyed searching for eggs so much that Carter hid them for her several times while we were at Gaga and Granddad's house! What a terrific day!
