Easter 2024

We had a great Resurrection Sunday!  It started with a 7:15am sunrise service at our church.  We hadn't done that before here, so we had no idea how many to expect and were shocked when 110 people showed up!  The deacons served us breakfast, and then we had Sunday school and church, with another huge crowd.  The singing was incredible, and the preaching is always good. ;) It was a great day with family (and an awesome nap too!)

Shade's fam - Andie, AJ, Caity, & Shade

Panera!

We decided to drive to College Station on Good Friday to surprise Caedmon!  We arrived right after he left for work!  When we got into his apartment, he left a note for us that said, "Ya'll ain't slick."  We tried!

Beautiful sight in Aggieland!

J.Cody's!

We had the cutest server ever!

We then stayed up late and crashed at his apartment watching basketball and playing Poker!

Cambree and I were sleeeeeeepy...

Love my three big babies!



All grown up in his own apartment!

Spring Break 2024!

We did all the things and also not very much during Spring Break of 2024!  It was a good week together!

We drove to Hico to hang with the Prescott fam for a few hours!

Their famous "fire fire" hibachi!

We played a LOT of tennis while Caedmon was home!  Blu pulled his hamstring one day, so we picked up this sweet old Chinese man to play with us! (He was MUCH better than all of us.  But he was on my team, so I won.)

Go Cason!


Caed & Quay at J. Cody's

Still loving my Tuesday afternoon study dates with Caedmon!

Lots of counseling these days!

We had a birthday celebration for Paw!

Cam hugs for Paw

I was VERY sleepy after a middle of the night airport run to pick up Cambree!

Caedmon & Cason drove to Fort Worth to hang with their cousins for a night. Here's Caed & Andie!

Silly guy

Uncle Cloud always has cokes in the house!

Cambree flew to Arizona for 4 days to hang out with her bf Callie at Arizona Christian University!

Cason, Caed, Uncle Cloud

More tennis!

Cam & Callie enjoying the pool!

Mama Dee visiting Grandma Marie in her new home

I dropped Cam at the curb because traffic/parking was so insane!  She navigated check in and security at DFW by herself and made it on the plane!

We stopped at the Rainforest Cafe - I've ALWAYS wanted to go there!


She said YES to the prom dress! Her last one!

She picked one of these....

Fun times!

Caed & I had a Common Grounds and Calculus study date!

Caedmon also got to go to Houston/Galveston and spend a day with Shumara!

3 dentist appointments, 2 doctor's appointments....

Blu celebrated 1 year as pastor at Rocky Creek!

We got ONE night together as a family of 5!  (It was at Cotton Patch for about 45 minutes!  But I'll take it!)

Even more tennis...





Cam & Camille

I think that's a cougar type symbol?

More Camille hugs!

Cam's first trip to the Grand Canyon

Cam learned all about swim caps from Callie, who swims for ACU!

He's home!  With his laundry!

Since Callie & Cam met in India, they love to enjoy Indian food together!

Cousins Brenden with Caed & Case

The boys spent a morning golfing with Blu

Beautiful swing ;)

This was actually more fun than I thought it would be!  And, I'm old.

Blu loves and hates golf equally.
