Batter Up!!!















Well, it's that season again...Baseball! And Softball! Jack's team, coached by Bryan this year, is the Rangers. Bryan has already messed up a couple of times and yelled, "Go Astros!"! Callie is on the Eagles. It's a crazy time, made crazier by never-still, climbing-the-bleachers-in-2-seconds, running-onto-the-field-in-3-seconds, climbing-into-everyone's-lap little sis Macie!! When I get to watch, I really enjoy seeing the kiddos play--they really like the sport, and it's fun to see them improve over a season. Batter Up!

Springbreak Was So Fun






























We (the kiddos and I; Bryan had to stay and work :( )headed up to Kerrville for the first part of Springbreak...time for some cousin fun and relaxation. (at least for the travelers..I'm quite sure MeMe would not classify our gang taking over her house as "relaxing"!!) MeMe had an early Easter Egg Hunt planned, too. The "younger" cousins all have such a great time together, and I enjoy catching up with everyone as well. MeMe is very wonderful to let us hang out at her house..I know it must feel like a tornado has come through when we leave! Thanks to Krista as well, as myself and my kiddos bunked at her place. Baby Leo joined in this time--first Kerrville cousin trip for him! I've thought of Macie as "the baby" for so long it's almost strange to see an actual baby around, and it makes her look so big!! He's a super cuddler. Brady (Jenny's fiance') and his sweet little Chloe were able to join for the weekend, too--our family is just expanding like crazy!! I don't think I had my camera out until the day after they left, however. We also celebrated Kendall and Jenny's birthdays. Lots of fun memories made...I treasure these times. Our Springbreak definitely did not end as well as it started, though, as Jack came down with a tummy bug the day after we got home and got so sick we had to go to the ER for IV fluids, and even after that, he didn't kick the high fever and no appetite for several days...yuck!

Go Texan Day









Callie and Jack had Go Texan Day in the spirit of the Rodeo. Callie's grade really didn't do anything extra except dress-up, but Jack's class got to take pictures with a young longhorn steer, which he thought was pretty cool.
