Spring Egg Hunt

The Solomans have a Spring Egg Hunt and invited the kids over to participate. Out came their son in this bunny costume - Max was too scared to get near him. Theyhave the perfect yard for hiding eggs. Thanks again Edie.

The Little Guy

Kids waiting in line for a ride with Jake, Hunter, and Marty.

They finally got on the ride and didn't get an end - they were all a little bummed. The nice thing about having passes to a park is there's no pressure to do everything. We just went for a couple of hours and then went home.

Rodeo

The sun did some funky things to our faces.


We decided to attend the rodeo held at the church ranch with some friends. I was thinking it would be pretty amateur, but was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Amy honestly thought she would be the one to catch the pig and when about 100 kids piled into the arena and she couldn't catch the pig, she was sorely disappointed. Next year we'll have to sign the kids up for muttin' bustin'.

Space Shuttle












This is the view from our back patio of the space shuttle taking off. We could even see the two rocket boosters falling off.

We've Been Busy

I took a trip to West Palm Beach with some girl friends for a weekend and we shopped until we dropped. We also pampered ourselves a bit with pedicures, facials, and hair cuts. This is a couple of them getting their pedicure. Taylor has been playing flag football and I have to say that it is very fun to watch.

It's baseball season for Kendall, but as you can see, he'll be out for 6 weeks with a broken arm. He was riding the Ripstick with his cleats on and fell off - OW! The Ripstick is banned until sports are over. It's strawberry season here and Amy went picking with Grandma Edie. We've been up to our eyeballs making jam, tarts, and just eating strawberries. They are the sweetest yummiest strawberries I have ever had though. All the kids have had the yucky flu bug going around - the one with the cough, fever, headache . . . .


At least someone can relax around here.
If any of you remember a year ago I wanted to lose 20 pounds - well I've finally lost half of that. I'll post a picture when I lose the other half.
