Macie's first day of Butterfly School was today. She had so much fun!!! She loves her teachers, Ms Heather & Ms Carrie. They had fun learning about the color red, apples, and circles. Their Bible Verse was "God created all things" John 1:3. They also made a cute flower in craft time and in chapel they learned about obeying your parents.
Happy 1st Birthday Jace!

Tiffany, Laura and I hosted a baby shower today for our dear friend Christi. Kevin and Christi are having a little girl in September. 
The Carrell's stopped in Dallas on the way home from a family vacation today! We met up with them at Midevil Times. The kids loved it! 
Happy 1st Birthday Gabe!!
My High School Class Reunion was this weekend!! We had such a great time. It was wonderful to see all of my buddies... and their babies!! We had a family picnic Saturday afternoon at the park. Saturday night we had a BBQ dinner. This is a picture from the park... I have lots more pictures to post from the dinner!
This evening, Macie, Mimi & I took carrots to the donkeys in the pasture. It was all going well and I was getting some cute pictures, until... I look down at my left foot and it was completely covered with fire ants. Not cool. Macie loves the cows and will stand outside of Mimi & PawPaw's house and 'moo' at them. So I guess it was worth the pain and suffering I endured to see the joy on her face and get great photos. Or maybe not. 
So my very favorite breakfast in the world is my mom's strawberry pancakes. She has been making them for us for as long as I can remember. Everytime I go home to visit I always request them. I am so excited that Macie loves them as much as me! Now she asks MiMi for "cake" for breakfast too!
We just got back from Las Vegas! We went with Matt & Staci - We had so much fun!!! We spent 3 nights at the Mirage hotel. On Thursday, we went to the Hoover Dam - that is where this picture was taken. Friday Steve and Matt played golf, while Staci and I shopped, ate at The Cheesecake Factory, and spent time out by the pool. Friday night we ate at the buffet at the Wynn hotel... we ate more Alaskan King Crab legs than we could count! But the best part was just being able to hang out with our buddies again! It was a super fun trip!
Happy Birthday Cade!!
Matt shows off his skills...
Macie loved sliding into the pool of foam blocks
We had so much fun hanging out with Matt & Staci this weekend! We have missed them so much since they moved to Lubbock last fall.
Macie and I went to Lubbock this weekend to visit Staci, Cade & Makynli. We had a great time!! The kids had so much fun... We took them to a fun gym with a ton of bounce houses and slides, a science museum, the park... It was great!! We even went to Spanky's near the Tech campus for the most wonderful mozzerella sticks we have ever eaten. It was a super fun weekend! And Macie did great on the plane ride there and back... only a slight meltdown when we ran out of juice. Matt flew to Dallas for the weekend to hang out with Steve. He helped Steve with the Depserados game on Saturday night, and after the game they attended a team party at the new Ghost Bar in Dallas. Definately a great weekend!
Tonight was the first Dallas Desperados home game of the season! The guys played great and won 59-40! The team is 2-0!! What a great way to start out the season!! Macie & her buddy Gabe (Coach McClay's son) had a great time watching the game! 
Macie had so much fun playing with her baby cousin Jace this weekend! She showed him how to do lots of fun things - like clapping!
