Happy Memorial Day!

I am so proud to be from a family that believes in protecting our freedom. My grandfather, and dad were in the Navy and I have two brothers that are currently serving in the Navy. The sacrifice that those who lost their lives made can never be forgotten. I pray for Gods protection for all the men and women who serve in every branch of the military and for their families that are at home.

Astros Fans!

Through wins and losses we are still Astros fans! Our kids love to watch them play. We went to the game this Saturday with Poppy, Grammy, and Benjamin. It was fun even though we lost to the Rangers. Junction Jack and the Rangers mascot even came and sat with us.

Fairy Tale Theatre

Today was Fairy Tale Theatre in Haydens class. They came to our house for a pancake breakfast and the acted out fractured fairy tales. It was a hoot! The kids were very creative. Hayden was Hansel in Hansel and Gretal. Only one week of school left, and then my baby boy will be in the third grade.

Field Day

Hayden had Field Day at school yesterday. It was so much fun! The P.E. teacher did a great job putting it all together and the teachers manned the games and made it a special day for the kids. They mix the ages on the teams with kindergarten through forth grade. It really helps the kids work together and build team spirit. I was the adult team leader for my nephews team and he was so much fun to watch. They let Hailey be on our team even though she doesn't attend the school. It made her feel really special. Hayden was on the orange team and they got third place. Hunter ran a water balloon game and did a great job being in charge. He is really showing good leadership skills. All in all it was a fun day for everyone!

Boys and Sports

In our house the boys play baseball for the YMCA.Hunter is in kid pitch and Hayden in coach pitch. We like it because it is usually one practice and one game a week. With our busy schedule it works well and the boys have been able to enjoy other sports as well. Hayden does Ta Kwon Do and Hunter does Shooting Sports. Hayden just got his Yellow Stripe and broke his first board. He was so excited and we are so proud. He has been practicing his pattern for a few weeks and is so stinkin cute!

Hannah's Birthday

On May 3rd our little princess turned 4. She wanted a Fancy Nancy tea party....So that's what we had. It was one of the most fun parties I have ever planned. Finding girly stuff was so easy and I knew the little guest would be so impressed. They were all so cute and that night when she was saying her prayer she thanked God for all of her friends and for her party. She then said, "Mommy for my next birthday I want a Hello Kitty party. How long till I'm five?"

An Amazing....Humbling Day

Last Thursday James and I had the oppurtunity to meet Nick Vujicic. He spoke at a fundraiser for Arrow. We have heard him before, but this time was up close and personal.
