and BIGGER!

Brooke pulled ANOTHER tooth this evening making the hole in her mouth even BIGGER! I was signing her in at church and got halfway done writing her name when she held up her second pulled tooth for the week. We had told her that this tooth still had a while to go before it was ready to be pulled, so she (and myself included) was in a little shock when it came out. She's got quite a little money making scheme going on here!

The Hole got bigger!

Brooke is now missing all 4 front teeth! She is so proud because SHE pulled her wiggly tooth yesterday at school...her teacher made her! YEAH! After a week of it barely hanging there and her not letting us touch it, we were VERY thankful that her teacher took care of it!

Muffins for Moms

B&B enjoyed eating muffins for breakfast with me this morning at their school!

Celebrating Easter!

He is Risen! What a Glorious Day! We were so thankful to worship at our amazing church, Prestonwood North, this morning!The kids had fun with an egg hunt with friends yesterday! Bryce could have done without the eye allergy issues! Poor baby...look at those sad eyes. His shirt sums it up well!

The kids look forward to the tradition (or is it just me - ha ha!) of getting to dye eggs each year. This year we tried to make camo eggs; it never quite works out to look like the beautiful ones on the box! The kids' eggs were each unique and beautiful...just like they are!

Small Town Hero

Bryce's 2009 All-Star team got recognized AGAIN this past week. This time they were announced on the field with the Prosper Vasity baseball team...at their amazing new field! They are local celebrities here in our small town; it's so fun! Bryce got to hang out in right field with Torii Hunter Jr...pretty cool, esp. if he makes it to the big leagues like his dad!

Brooke and the Rainbow Unicorn!

For Brooke's 6th birthday party, she wanted a REAL horse! "Unicorns are real, aren't they mom?" is what she asked me on the morning of her birthday! We definitely had to be flexible with her party this year! We woke up the morning of her scheduled party to 6 inches of SNOW (on the first day of Spring, I might add!). Walmart called at 8am and said their designer couldn't make it to work, so there was no one to make her cake. And there was the obvious question, can a Rainbow Unicorn (and 6 year old girls) handle rides in the snow??? Thankfully, we were able to postpone her party for 2 days, and we ended up with a sunny and 70 degree day! Yeah! Brooke was in HEAVEN! She had a blast!

San Antonio - Spring Break 2010

After not taking a vacation in quite a while, we were all very excited to go somewhere! (just wish we could have gotten there some way OTHER than I-35!) We had a blast at Sea World! They cancelled our 'Dinner with Shamu'...taking precautions after the incident in Orlando, but instead, we got did a 'Dolphin Encounter' where we got to get up close and personal with the dolphins. The kids LOVED it!

Can you see Brooke? She said she loved the ride, but I think she was a bit scared too!

After waiting almost an hour and a half, Bryce and I had a blast riding the log ride...a very chilly log ride!
We loved seeing "Shampoo" as he is kindly called in our house. Bryce called him that when he was 2, and it just kind of stuck! The trainers were very cautious in the shows; they didn't get in the water with the whales. It was still amazing to see the killer whales...and especially Baby Shamu, who just followed his mom around while she did tricks! Very cute!


Can you find Brad?

Remember the Alamo!

SNOW DAY!

We're a little snowed in and a very consumed with Rhea Lana's season at our house!

Another visit from the tooth fairy!

Brooke lost her first tooth...on her own! She is so proud to have another hole in her mouth. She finally decided to be brave and let Daddy "pull" it out (I don't even think it was attached in any way shape or form!)

Cowboys vs. Eagles

Brad and Bryce got to make their first trip to Cowboys Stadium last Sunday to watch the Cowboys BEAT the Eagles!!! They had an awesome time! The original plan was for all four of us to go, and then the plan was for just Brad and I to go since we ended up with 2 tickets (and b/c it was our anniversary!) :) But, it gave me much MORE JOY to let Bryce go in my place. He drew pictures of the field throughout church drawing all the players and the scoreboard with the Cowboys winning, of course...and that was before we even told him he was going!!! Once we got home from church, I asked him what time the game started, and then, handed him the tickets to see if he could figure it out! He was PUMPED!!! Brooke and I enjoyed a fun girls afternoon, and Brad and I will be celebrating our anniversary this coming weekend!
