Let's PLAY BALL!!!!!

We had a VERY busy weekend!!!!Ethan had his 1st

game on Sat. His first 2 games were cancelled and then

a make up game was cancelled so FINALLY we got to play

some ball. His team is the Reds. Couldn't we have been the

CARDINALS!!!!

Strike 1!!! Oh well. He does have a GREAT swing though.

He is happy that he has his Uncle Petey's #9 this year.

Fort Worth Stockyards April 04 2009

Fort Worth Stockyards with Rita! While Kyle was at his camp we took Rita downtown to watch the cattle drive and to do some shopping before we headed to Springtown to watch Kyle ride. We always have a good time there. Chloe saw the little pony and wants one now. I am thinking we need some land!!! Wished Rita had more time to visit than just a day. We could have done ALOT more shopping! lol

Watching Kyle Seals Bull Ride

We spent this weekend with Rita & Kyle Seals. Kyle attended a Bull Riding Camp with Scott Mendez (World Champion Bull Rider '97) in Springtown, TX. The whole family had soooo much fun and Chloe cannot stop talking about the bulls and Kyle riding! And Ethan REALLY wants to learn how to ride now. There were a few little guys Ethan's age there learning. Even the "City" girls aka Kelsie & Courtnie had a good time!!! Yes they were even feeding and petting one of the bulls. I was very proud of Kyle, he does a REALLY good job. I do believe one day we will have a champion bull rider in our family! We told them they just need to move down here and we could have this much fun every weekend!!! lol I was also VERY impressed with Scott. He truly has a passion for these boys and I loved watching how he ministers to them. Spur'n 4 Jesus! LOVE IT! I am sure they will see alot of us in the future.

Chloe's "new" look

Well the day has finally came!!! Should I say the dreaded day for Momma. My sweet little Chloe has cut her OWN hair!!!! She is 3 years, 2 months and 18 days old and decided to give herself a haircut. Daddy is just thrilled and Momma is sooooo sad. Her hair was getting so long and Momma wanted her hair all one length. I wasn't ready for the bang look!!! I am thankful that she ONLY cut her bangs and didn't cut her hair like Kelsie did REALLY short. All she said was "Well you didn't get me a haircut!" Thanks to Daddy that tells her that she needs one EVERYDAY!!!! Thanks Dad. She is still just adorable as can be but we will be growing these back out...lol

We miss you Daddy!

January 17th, 2009 Happy Birthday Daddy! We miss you sooooooooo much. And know that someday we will meet again in Heaven. There is not a day go by that I do not think of you and wish you were here with us. To play with and love all these grand babies you have. I know that you would be soooooooo proud of them all.

As our weekend was so fun of exciting things, it also would have been my Daddy's birthday. Kelsie got the puppy of her dreams, Courtnie had her 1st BIG dance and I was grateful for this weekend. As we were coming home from church I was talking to Courtnie and we were talking about the weekend and told her it was also my Dad's birthday had she remembered? As I look out in the field and am thinking of my Dad just missing him sooooo much. I almost start to tear up but I hear God say to me " My child do not shed another tear for he is with me!" WOW! This is what I needed to hear. And I didn't shed a tear because I know that someday I will see both my Fathers in Heaven and oh what a day that will be!!!!

I have finally realized that I need to slow down so I can hear God talk to me and I know that I now after 17 years of my Dad being gone I can start to heal with God's help.

Courtnie's BIG dance

This is Courtnie & Taylor right before their Winter Formal dance. I cannot believe my baby is growing up soooo fast. Isn't she BEAUTIFUL??? Kelsie didn't want to go plus she had a new puppy to love and spoil all night long!

SWEETIE PIE GRACIE!!!!

Happy 17th Birthday Kelsie Nicole!!!! We hope you love and enjoy Gracie as much as we do you!!!!
