Easter Baskets

The boys woke up Easter morning to find that the Easter Bunny had arrived while they were sound asleep.

It didn't take them long to check out their goodies: A Google Play gift card, Lego Pajamas, Jelly Bean flavored gum, a paddle ball, Lego blind packs, and a magic wand!

Dad thought it would be a good idea to put Speckles in Thomas' basket.  I'm not sure Speckles agrees…….

The boys had fun opening their blind packs and seeing what Lego figures were in there.  Except when Will YAWNED ~ that's what he gets for waking up so early!!

Bluebonnet Pictures 2014

We went to Granbury to a luncheon with my cousins Peggy and Beverly.  The boys hung out with Grandaddy and Uncle Jerry and John White.  Afterwards we found a beautiful strip of bluebonnets and Beverly took these pictures!

Confetti Egg Hunt

Thomas and Will invited Cate over to Grandmother and Granddaddy's house to hunt for confetti eggs.  Needless to say, they all had a great time, and no one was safe from having an egg cracked on their head! 

Cate was the first to get Grandmother ~

And she was happy to receive what she had just given! 

Thomas' turn next.

Granddaddy actually made it easy for Thomas and Cate to get him!

It wasn't quite as easy to catch Thomas, though.

And next Will was on the run from Cate AND Thomas!

Granddaddy's a lot faster than he looks……….

He actually caught Will!

A fairly nice pose of the 3 kiddos……..

But it didn't take long to finish off the eggs on each other!

A quick group picture of the hunters with Grandmother and Granddaddy.

Will's Kindergarten Rodeo

It's rodeo time at Woodland Heights Elementary! 

"Riding" into the rodeo grounds on their stick horses.

Saying the pledge and singing the Star Spangled Banner ~ the kids took this part very seriously!

Will and his unnamed horse.

First the kids got to practice branding a cow using paint ~

Then with a little help they were able to brand their own block of wood ~ with "real" fire!

Will and his buddy Daegan enjoying a snack of trail mix and cactus juice (aka lemonade!)

Visiting Kaitlin

We went to Lubbock for the weekend to see Kaitlin before she left for Basic Training in Great Lakes, Illinois.  We are so proud of her choice to join the Navy!  Love this girl so much!

 Thomas and Will adore their cousin Kaitlin.  They pray for her and all of the other people in the Military every night!

 Hard to believe my little niece is all grown up! 

 Grandmother and Granddaddy with Kaitlin

On Sunday morning we went to the Texas Tech campus to walk around.  All of the tulips were in bloom and looked beautiful!  The boys had a dozen questions for their dad about what it was like to go to school at Tech.  Maybe someday they will be students there themselves!
