Easter

This Easter, Brad went fishing with his friends at the Brazos river and camped out on Good Friday. There was an Easter Egg hunt in town Saturday, so I took the boys. They took pictures with Sammy the Bearkat (our college mascot), the Easter Bunny, played some games, then hunted for eggs. They even provided a free hot dog lunch. After lunch, we headed home for some egg decorating, cake baking, and face-painting. The boys had a fun-filled day! Daddy got home later that afternoon. The next morning, we went to church as a family, and enjoyed a day at home. The boys did another egg hunt and had a blast with confetti eggs that Suzy and Tommy brought them. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Christ's resurrection!

More Signs

Lately I haven't done many signs. Brad and I made the decision that I would go back to teaching in the fall, so our worlds will be changing. That caused me to kinda lose steam with the whole sign-making business, but here are a few I've done:

That is one dirty boy

Luke and Tate got to stay an extra day after Braylon's birthday weekend, since it was their spring break. So Grampa Rollie and I took all these rascals for a hike at the Huntsville State Park.

Braylon Turns 5

Our sweet Braylon turned five years old Thursday, March 3rd. He celebrated several times but the big party was the following Saturday. He wanted a fishing party, so we allowed him to invite three friends (plus cousins) to cut down on the chaos. The kids enjoyed fishing, playing, and eating. It was a beautiful, fun day! And no one fell in the pond, so I'd say it was a success! Here's some of Braylon's favorites as a BIG five year old:

Food: pizza
Color: Blue
Activity: soccer, riding bike, fishing
Song: 'Start A Fire' by Unspoken
Show: Spiderman
Favorite Toy: remote control car

soccer

This Spring, Braylon decided to play soccer instead of tee ball. Brad and I aren't ready for two sport seasons yet, so we made him choose one or the other. I've never played soccer and know nothing about it, but I was glad Braylon picked it. He has a lot of energy and loves to run, so soccer is perfect for that. So far, he has had two games and is having a ball! He scored one goal in the first game, three in the second, and fell about 4,000 times. And I thought Wyatt was the clumsy one. He seems to be getting better and loves his team. It sure is entertaining to watch those cute lil guys (and girls) run around out there!
