April/May with All of Us!

Ok, so I got a little behind.  Like over a month behind.  Oops!  Remind me next year that April and May are BUSY.  Like VERY busy.  Oh wait, I'll have a senior about to graduate...don't remind me of that!

We enjoyed a trip to Matagorda Beach to celebrate Dad's 70th birthday!

My husband LOVES the beach!  (I do not.  I tolerate his love for it...)

The Tidwell Five!

Mama & Daddy... and their RV in the background that we might have gotten stuck and had to pay a guy to pull us out.....

Daddy caught a flounder!  (and a few others later!)

Handstand competition! (Caedmon won!)

The boys did a 5 hour fishing trip in Matagorda Bay!

Deliveries = our favorite stops like Twisted Sister Bakery in Fredericksburg!

I think we were in Austin for this Indian food restaurant....where my husband goes to check out the Buddha idols....

We LOVE chicken tikka masala, naan, and Basmati rice!

Getting the fish that the boys caught ready for supper!

Fun in the sand!

We have this last week of school and then our summer is PACKED.  In youth ministry, summer is the busiest time!  We have an 11 set order we are filling for Houston ISD which means 4 trips to Houston, then 7 more orders, then a 17 set order for Cy Fair ISD, which means 6 more trips to Houston!!  We have flights to get Cambree to India, mission trips, soooo many youth camps, a couple of quick getaways for me & Blu, and lots more!  Our plates will be FULL, but it'll be a great summer! :)
