What's been goin on around here..

T-Ball, T-Ball, Jiu Jitsu, repeat...

Maddox is having a blast playing T-Ball!

And the kids are so cute to watch!

Runnin home!

Yes, I have become one of those Mom's

who wears shirts like this...

And I made it myself, bedazzled and all

Ha!

I love when all the kids gather 'round and

listen to coach...adorable!

Maddox and his best buddy Kolby who

also goes to church & preschool with us.

So they get to see each other a lot!

Catching balls in the outfield...

nah, actually he is running to me because

he saw me taking his picture..oops.

He's definitely a good hitter!

Bradley had another Jiu Jitsu Tournament.

He got 3rd place!

We ran into his old coach from

Beaumont, who we love and miss!

Bunnies and Birthdays

It is still crazy busy around here. All of

our Saturdays are spent at T-ball.

We had an Easter Egg Hunt

for our playgroup.

I made these bunny cupcakes to bring.

I think they came out pretty dang cute!

Marci and Maddox with the goods

Bradley trying to be sneaky

We spent Easter weekend in Woodville

with my in-laws. On a whim, I

decided to run the

5k at the Dogwood Festival. I haven't

really ran much since High School track..

so I wasn't sure how it would go. But it

wasn't too bad. Only 3 min over my goal.

And fortunately my sweet

friend Brianne agreed to come with me

and keep me company. And she barely

even laughed at how slow I was

and She only yelled at me to hurry up

a couple times...haha jk!

But I'll try to be better prepared next year!

Bradley & Marci in the Bluebonnets

My father-inlaw's quails graciously

supplied us with these

adorable little eggs to dye.

However, they were not so cute

a week later when one of those little eggs

was found to be the source of the

Awful smell

in my car. They are very good at

hiding in cars.

My 2 handsome boys

Maddox found some eggs

He even found some under a log

Bradley found the $5 Prize egg

Marci made a list several months ago

of what she wanted to do for her birthday.

It said: Mani/Pedi, Build-a-Bear,

shopping, & movies.

She obviously thinks she is

turning 17, not 7!

She made this chick at Build-a-Bear.

My Mom & sisters came in to celebrate.

We chowed down at Chuy's.

Cousin Ashlyn brought Marci a

matching outfit to wear.

Marci & Ashlyn getting their

Mani/Pedi's. They both got the little

flowers painted on. All of us big girls

got pedicures too...we took up the

whole place.

After an embarrassing,

No-that-is-Not-my-kid-Meltdown,

Marci is all smiles again...

Maddox had fun making a

friend at Build-a-Bear.

Here is Maddox with

his bear "Bob". He loves this bear!!

He sleeps with him every night.

It is sooo cute.

Time is Zooming By!

2010 has been really busy so far!

But that's a good thing since

I'm still counting down the days...

and still missing home.

But I do get to go back & visit a lot!

Maddox started T-Ball, finally!

He has been wanting to play

since he could hold a ball.

He is having fun playing and loves

having his friend Kolby on his team.

Plus they look adorable in their uniforms!

Bradley & Marci had Field Days

that I volunteered to work.

Since I'm the Homeroom Mom for

Marci's class, I made these bandanas

for all the kids! They were a big hit!

I also put Marci's name on her shirt...

I was feeling pretty crafty.

We learned about toothbrushing at

my turn to host Preschool.

The kids had fun with their

giant toothbrushes.

And I just happened to have big

plastic teeth lying around from

Tim's school that the kids

loved looking at!

Maddox kept telling them that

those were His Daddy's teeth!

Strangely enough it snowed AGAIN!

Marci loves modeling for pictures,

especially when I make her new

flowers clips for her hair.

Tim & I spent Valentine's Day with

the kids at P.F. Chang's downtown.

Maddox turned 4 years old!!

He got his first bicycle and loves

riding it...that is, when his big sister

doesn't steal it from him!

Marci's artwork won a contest

at school. This is "Mrs. Pigsty".

She was very excited to go to her

first Art Show.

Bradley had fun at Pinewood Derby.

He named his car "Silver Bullet".

I think the paint on his car was still

drying when we got there! Someone

waited til last minute to make it... ;)

Glamorous Birthday & Christmas

December was super busy and

went by way too fast!

First, I had the perfect girly birthday..

Tim decorated this cake for me.

Haha, it was really cute with the

sprinkles, chocloate covered pretzels,

& random candles!

I got my hair did by the

always wonderful Tiffany!

She made me feel like a movie star!

Fergie's "Glamorous" was the

theme song for the day...

(Me & Mandy)

My 2 BFF's took me out for a night

on the town in Beaumont.

(Me & Cassey)

Dinner at Cheddars

Dessert at Chili's

Shopping

Lots of laughing

and

Tons of pictures of my glamorous hair =)

Tacky Christmas Bunko with an

"As Seen on TV" Gift exchange

was a blast and those who

dressed up looked

pretty dang awesome!

I have to fight Bradley for

the Snuggie I got though!

Then for Christmas

Santa brought the kids a swing set.

They said it was "The best Christmas

EVER."

They were happy with their

new toys & clothes.

And this was the 1st Christmas

we were able to hang our

stockings by the chimney with care,

so the kids were especially excited.

Budding Artist Marci got the art stand

she desperately wanted!

We spent many hours on the road

visiting both families and

some friends too.

Best of all NO SCHOOL for

Tim or Me!!

The break was much needed, I just wish

it lasted a little longer!

Spring Break, hurry up!
