April Showers!

April is flying by, and then May will be here - the last month of the school year!!  I'm excited about that and so ready for summer!  (And in August, I will be SO ready for school to start back!!)
We enjoyed lunch at The Runaway Train for Shade's birthday today!

Caedmon enjoys playing "Dad" to Cambree sometimes!

So so so busy in the shop with more orders than we've EVER had at one time!

Papa Ron helping with scale model sets!

Blu working on benches!

Rachel & Caed

He's a mess!

Paw & Bmaw are living in their RV - they're staying close to home for now until the house they just flipped closes, and then they're off to other parts of the USA!

Cambree and I have discovered Dairy Queen salads - they're so good!

Still working on the flip house when we can - Blu tore a wall out that opened up some room!

A fresh haircut!

Caedmon has 3 baseball games left!  It's been a good season for him!



He had the most amazing bunt last game!

He always plays either center field or left field.

Cason has had 2 games and is enjoying his new role as catcher!

He's had two tag outs at home!







Blu (in ALL his spare time) is assistant coaching!

One Act Play is officially over!  They advanced to Regionals, where they got 4th so they didn't get to go on to State.  It was a fun ride though!  Here's Cambree and Kirsten all dressed up for awards!

Caedmon, Rachel, Shumara, and Ashley

Last Saturday, I got to take 11 of my girls at church to the W.A.Y. Summit girls conference - it was so awesome!  I sure do love Baylor!

Easter and more!

 We had a great Easter weekend and beginning to the month of April!  I can (almost) feel school winding down, starting to prep for some summer church activities, and the sun is coming out!  Fun spring times! (Caedmon's allergies don't agree!)


Cason has been practicing and practicing for his catcher position for his baseball team!

Cason finished up his last hurdle race at his District track meet!

Blu will throw the baseball with our boys day or night, no matter what he's doing!

Mama's baby!

New catcher's gear!  We splurged for him - poor last born gets all the hand me downs and rarely anything new, so this was JUST for him and he was so surprised!

My drama queen!

She's so good with little ones - here she is with her second cousin, Sophia

And with our sweet Kenli at her baseball game - Cambree sat up in the stands yelling for her - it melted my heart!

We had a fun shopping day getting Cam's ears pierced, buying stuff at Bath & Body Works, and checking out a new bookstore downtown!

Caedmon was inducted into the National Honor Society - here he is with some of his closet friends!

Caedmon and Shumara

He's been very busy with baseball - he says it's his favorite sport!


A random track picture thrown in!

Diving for a catch!

He also finished up track with the District Tract Meet!  He wasn't feeling well but still ran great!

And more baseball...




Caedmon & Blu at the NHS induction ceremony

All of his grandparents - he is so blessed!


It's prom time!

Caedmon, Rylie, and TJ

One Act Play is still going strong!  They advanced to the Regionals competition on April 14th!  Here's Cambree and her good guy friend Caleb.

Cambree showing off her debate competition outfit - she got 4th in District!

Blu is SOOO busy.  He is preparing for a big retreat for our 7th graders this weekend, planning a leadership camp for this summer, doing his usual youth Bible studies and church music duties, running a business, flipping a house, coaching a baseball team, and being an amazing dad and husband!  He's my hero.

I've been working on window restoration for the flip house!

Always outside throwing the baseball in our free time!

Time to get some sun!

My cousin Melissa came to visit for Easter!

My small group at church - I love this group of 8th grade girls with ALL my heart!

Still busy in the shop...

My favorite dog Scooby (the Prescott's dog)

Paw and Bmaw are leaving in 2 weeks for a 6-7 month trip in their RV - headed west!
