Cousin time at Gig and Mur's house

Gig and Mur watched the kids one night and took some really cute pictures of all of them.

Laying on the pallet

Apparently this was the kids choice of seating to watch movies. I love it!

Zoned into the movie.

Cowboy Day

Yee Haw!!

Kate's 2nd Birthday

Kate turned two on March 21st. We had her birthday party at our house and just had some friends and family over for some food and cake. The theme was polka dots. I can't believe that two years has gone by. I have loved getting to raise a little girl. John and I are beginning to realize what people mean when they say that a little girl just melts your heart. She thinks that Luke is the coolest thing ever and they love to play together. She wants to do everything that he is doing which is hard sometimes because she might not be old enough or big enough to do it. I love that she has a quiet confidence about herself. I know that this next year is going to be so much fun watching you grow. We have big plans ahead: Potty Training and No Pacifier to sleep with! Thanks for being such a sweet girl Kate! I love tucking you in every night and getting to "talk" to you about the day. Daddy and I are so proud of you!

Kate and Granna. People say all the time that Kate looks like my mom.

This was when we were singing Happy Birthday to Kate. She is not a big attention lover unlike her brother Luke so when we were singing she just kind of had a blank stare. As soon as we said her name she got a huge smile on her face and then turned her head. It made me get a little teary eyed! It doesn't take much these days.

Love you Kate!

Luke's First Soccer Game

This was quite a sight to see. Pretty much all of the kids on the field were in la la land except for these two kids on Luke's team that were the stars and scored every goal. It made us laugh pretty hard. My good camera with the zoom is broken so I didn't get any great shots.

Thinking about going for the ball.

Throwing the ball in.

We don't know what this position was but there is a kid behind him imitating the same thing. They weren't even paying attention to the ball.

Sweet shot of my guys.

This shot makes Luke look like he was really going for it but a split second after this shot was taken the whistle was blown because Luke decided he was going to pick the ball up with his hands. This was the first play of the game.

First Kickoff

Luke, we were so proud of you and loved watching you have fun out there. Now on to T-ball!

Spring Break Part II Possum Kingdom

For the second half of our Spring Break we stayed at my cousin's lake house at Possum Kingdom. It is always so much fun to get to see them because we only see them a couple of times a year. Luke and Kate got to hang out with their second cousins Allison and Jordan

Luke flashing his rock star signs. I truly have no idea where he gets these sometimes.

With their second cousins feeding the deer.

Luke feeding the deer from his cup. This was not a petting zoo just wild deer that were extremely friendly.

She's surrounded!

Spring Break in Gruene

For Spring Break we spent a couple of days in Gruene with our friends the Mosleys. We had such a fun time and stayed at a bed and breakfast right on the river. John and I had been before but this was our first time to take the kids. They really had a great time and there were lots of places to run around.

Kate and Blair before bedtime

This was at a childrens museum in New Braunfels. It was amazing. We could have spent a lot of time there. There was so much to do for the kids.

The whole gang.

Frustrated

I cannot for the life of me find the Christmas pictures on my Computer. I know that they are on there but I just can't find where. I will just have to skip Christmas for now.
