Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! We had a great day here at home with Monica, Monte and the boys. They came over this afternoon for burgers, swimming and games. The weather was perfect and we had a great time watching the cousins slide into the pool!

Mother's Day Weekend

Our Mother's Day weekend started in Bonham on Friday. We had a wonderful dinner with Nana, Aunt Gay, Aunt Karetha, Mamaw, Papaw, Uncle Derrell, Aunt GiGi, Marcus & Calvin Friday evening. Macie, Marcus & Calvin had a great time playing... and after they went to bed we stayed up late playing board games. Such a fun weekend!

Stucture Collapse During Practice...

Thanks to everyone who has checked on Steve... he is OK. He took a hard hit to the head, trainers sent him to the hospital for a CT scan just to be sure. A few of Steve's co-workers sustained serious injuries... please keep Greg, Rich and Joe, and their families in your prayers. I am posting a link to Dallas News... Steve is in several of the pictures.

Does this look like a little girl who 7 hours ago was running a 103.5 degree temp? Not so much. She had a fever last night, woke up crying at 10:00. This morning, she woke up and was fine. Wanted to go to school... so I let her. At noon, I got a call from Butterfly School. I made her an appointment to see the doctor, and after over 2 hours of sitting in the office, we left with a prescription for antibiotics, and not much else. We know she doesn't have the flu, or strep... but the doctor wasn't able to figure out what was wrong... After sitting in the doctor's office FOREVER she couldn't wait to run outside and see daddy... Would never know she was sick...

Spring Break Part #2

Macie spent the second part of Spring Break '09 in Bonham with Nana & G-Daddy.

Steve and I joined them on Saturday. We spent some time at the farm (see pics of Pony & Milo), and fishing at the creek and pond.

We started out at the creek that runs behind Nana & G-Daddy's house.


But we left shortly after we encountered this guy...
So we headed to the pond to fish off the dock. Macie caught 3, she was so proud!

Steve, PaPaw and I caught some really nice catfish... This guy swallowed the hook so G-Daddy helped me hold his mouth open while I got the hook out.
It was a great weekend!!!We had so much fun!!!

couldn't forget the sweet cows too... and if you can't tell by the look on their faces, they were highly dissapointed that we forgot the sugar cubes...

Spring Break Part #1

We spent most of our Spring Break '09 outside, playing in the yard, playing with friends, just enjoying the awesome spring weather!!! Macie is going to Bonham Wednesday to spend the rest of Spring Break with Nana & G-Daddy.
