A Cowboy Big Boy room for Colton!

While my mom came to visit, we dove right into Colton's room taking all of the nursery rhyme stuff down to create a blank slate. We had fun painting his room "peanut butter" and putting up the denim overall curtains. Then we added the fun cowboy theme cross, picture frame, howdy cowboy sign, etc... My favorite part was when we took rope and wrote Colton's name on the wall in cursive that looks like a lasso. (Thanks Steph, for the great idea!) If you look closely, you can see it in the pic of me, Mom, and Colton. Colton loved blue taping, helping to paint, playing in his crib while we painted, putting up his horse decals, and playing with his new stuffed horses. It is always such a joy to work with my Mom! Thanks Mom! I love you!

More baseball pics for our fans!

Here are some more fun shots for all of Andrew and Braden's fans!

Baseball fever!

This year the boys really wanted to play baseball so we signed them up through the YMCA. Andrew is on the Cubs and Braden is on the Reds. Both boys are really enjoying it. Andrew gets a hit nearly every time and has great sportsmanship. He is working on controlling the ball when he throws... I think he gets that from Mom. :) We encourage Braden to have just the right amount of silliness during his games. He can be WAY over-the-top silly! He is great at hitting and runs FAST! Colton likes to cheer for his brothers and has his own glove now!

Easter Excitement!

What a marvelous time of the year! Our Lord has risen! He has risen indeed! Halleluiah! Aunt Tammy and Uncle Big Tom helped the boys celebrate at our church Eggstravaganza! It is always so fun to watch the different age egg hunts! The boys always love coloring Easter eggs! This year we had a Star Wars theme, go figure! Easter Sunday was an exciting day for our church because it was the public launch of our League City campus! Our family is committed to helping in that effort. Tom is the head parking guy and in charge of signs and I am teaching 3-5 grade Sunday school! We had over 300 in attendance at a local elementary school where we will be meeting for another couple of years. After church we had Mexican, yum! Then home to see if the Easter Bunny had come! The boys had fun hunting eggs both inside and out and got some fun gifts too! Andrew was especially fond of his new Bible! How awesome! :)

"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay." Matthew 28:6

Hoping to have more Easter pics in a slideshow below...

Spring Break Fun!

We kicked off Spring Break with a fun day at Kemah with friends! Then Tom's sister and brother-in-law, Aunt Tammy and Uncle Big Tom, came for 4 exhausting days of Kemah, Rodeo, Schlitterbaun, and Eggstravaganza! Wow what a fun week! :)

Check at the bottom of the blog for a slideshow of Spring Break Fun 3 '08 for lots of pics! Enjoy!

A true Texan!

My youngest son has a twang! Yes, he really does and I think it is SO cute! He was born here, so I think he is entitled! Hope you get a chance to hear it! :)

Under Construction

Lutheran South Academy had its annual Gala to raise money for the school. This year they are raising money for new classrooms and all the furnishings! It is always a super fun evening with yummy eats, great conversation, silent and live auctions! We walked away with a PINK watch for me, basket of TY animals and Webkinz for the boys, and a Home Depot basket filled with lots of wood projects that I am saving for when you visit, DAD! :) Praise God, LSA raised $114,000! The evening's theme was "Under Construction". I have been thinking that we are all "Under Construction". God is constantly at work in our lives molding and shaping us to be the son or daughter he made. My prayer is that we seek to be under God's construction always! "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building." 1 Corinthians 3:9
