Spring Break Pics

We had such a nice time during spring break vacation this year. We went to San Antonio for four days and hung out by the pool and at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. It was a blast!!!! We stayed at the Omni and they actually take you to and from the park, so Jerad did not have to worry about traffic or anything. It was just a nice little get away and it is nice when you can actually "get away". Roman has asked to see the photos from Six Flags so here they are. Hugs

Look who came to visit :)

The Onstad family!!!!! I could not believe we got them back in Houston so quickly. The Houston Dynamo were scheduled to play DC United, Pat's new team. So, they wanted to honor Pat after the game. Becky and the kids were able to come back for the game. But she didn't come empty handed, she brought back United jerseys for the kids!!!!! I could not believe how well the kids got along. It was obvious how much they have missed each other!!!! Pat even got to stay in Houston for a night and fly back with the family. Here are a few pics from the weekend. Hugs

TAKS Testing Today

Today was the first day of TAKS testing here in Texas. Reagan has lived in fear of this day for a long, long time. I got her to bed early (7:30) and gave her a good breakfast (hard boiled egg, bagel with cream cheese and bacon). But I really wanted to send her off to school knowing that we love and support her. I wanted her to know she is prepared. I wanted her to trust her instincts and go with her gut. I wanted her to know SHE ROCKS. So, Jerad and I made a few signs and hung them up in our breakfast area. SHE LOVED IT. She left on top of the world and ready to go. It was a good morning :) Hugs.

Happy Easter Sunday!!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL morning here in Houston Texas!!!! It was a very nice day for an egg hunt :)

My kids love the hunt for the eggs in hopes of finding the GOLDEN EGG. I woke up at 5:00AM to hide the eggs and then went back to bed. Sweet little Roman came down about 6:30 and said he had picked out his upstairs window and saw a few eggs. He asked if he could look at his basket which I had filled with a bunny, legos, baseball cards and some chocolate. Then he woke Reagan up and the hunt was on. Even Oliver got in on the madness. I got some good shots of him. The sun was nice this time of morning. I hope you all had a fantastic day with church, family and friends. Happy Easter All. Hugs

Jones Family Easter

Today we celebrated Easter with my brother, his fiance' and his three kids. My mom put the whole thing together, provided the place to hide and hunt the eggs and provided pizza after. Now who could pass that up!!!!! I thought I would repay her with photos from the day and I think they turned out really cute. These cousins are like brothers and sister, and bicker back and forth. It is so funny to watch. We went back to place so the kids could swim and it was just a great day all around. Family is so important to me!!! I want to take advantage of the amazing fact that we all live live about 5 miles from each other. I am so greatful. Hugs
