Cutest junior groomsmen ever!!

Tadd's sister got married this past weekend and the boys were junior groomsmen. Maybe I'm biased, but I think they were the 2 cutest boys to ever don a tuxedo. They got restless wearing their tuxedos while we waited before and took pictures after, but they did great during the ceremony. The walked down the aisle together in the processional, and then each one walked with one of Troy's girls at the end. So cute!!!

The result of a very long night...all 3 of the boys fell asleep in chairs, Blake was the first victim.

How can it be possible...?

...That my babies are starting kindergarten in 4 short months? Today was registration at their soon to be school. I wasn't able to go because I was working but Tadd took them and got them all registered! They got to meet the teachers and tour the school. Cody is very excited about the art room, and Blake loved the gym! They got cookies and juice, and t-shirts! I'm going to be a mess come August...

Easter eggs!

We were a tad bit late with it, but we did dye Easter eggs this year!! The kit I got was pretty cool. We dyed eggs, then painted on them with glue and rolled them in colored sand.

All our finished eggs!!

Mississippi trip

We travelled to Mississippi over Easter weekend to celebrate Uncle BJ's 75th birthday. We got to see lots of family we hadn't seen in a long time, and some that had never met the boys!! My brother and his family were there and we had so much fun. Plus I got lots and lots of cuddle time with my newest nephew Wallace!!

A mommy post

Hey everyone!! I'm gonna be selfish and post pictures of ME!! If you don't have facebook, you don't know that I participated in the DFW Marine Mud Run this past Sunday. It's exactly how it sounds...a 10k (6.2 mile) "run" through military style obstacles, and, you guessed it...mud. And lots of it. It was super challenging, but so much fun!!! Compare it to those ropes courses you did in junior high...I left feeling like I could accomplish anything!! It involved crawling army style through trenches, climbing walls and ropes, and sliding down muddy hills to a muddy "lake"!! I got super muddy, and had a blast!! Join me for Mud Run in Fall 09!!


My neighbor (and the person who made me do this in the first place) Shannon and I pre-mud!!

Our first "trench". The water was pretty chilly!!

On the final stretch. This is so much harder than it looks!!

Making my way through our final obstacle!! Finally...

I did it!! Muddy and happy...it was great!!

Thanks to Shannon, Kelly and Tadd for the pictures!!

T-ball!

This is the boys' first season of t-ball. So far, so good! They seem to really like it, and they've had fun at the games. Both of them have gotten pretty good at throwing the ball, and they're getting the hang of what to actually do with it once they catch it!!
Here are a few pics from our last game!

Cody up to bat.

Cody played "pitcher" one inning. They alternate positions every inning so every kid gets a chance to play every position. Cody did pretty good catching the balls...just wasn't sure where to throw them afterwards!!

Blake headed to first! I think this is such a cool picture!!

The Magic Kingdom!!

Finally...the Magic Kingdom. The most magical place on Earth!! It was so fun, and so great. We all had a fantastic time, and were very sad to leave. Watching the fireworks as a family, and experiencing the magic of Disney was so wonderful. As Blake said while we were watching the fireworks..."do dreams really come true?"...Yes baby, at Disneyworld they do!!

Mommy and the boys on the teacups!!
