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

Caedmon with us :)

Caedmon and Rylie - best friends!

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.

Caedmon and Junior - who we also call Caedmon's chauffeur!

Caedmon and the girlfriend, Rachel :)

Bro & Sis

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!

Camille & Cambree

Blu got to baptize Cheyenne on Easter Sunday!  This girl has such a heart for God!

Our 3...growing up.... :(

Spring Stuff!

 Spring is busy busy!  The last couple of weeks have been insane, and nothing seems to be slowing down, so I am soaking up the sun (when it's here) and every spare minute with my babies who are growing up way too fast!!! 

Paw & Bmaw hanging out watching Cason run track!

Blu was cold, so he wore his ski jacket to the track meet!

My Kesi!!  This girl right here has been my biggest and most unexpected blessing upon returning from Zambia - I TREASURE her friendship.

Kirsten & Caleb - two of our awesomest youth!

Hanging out at Paw's birthday party with the Tidwell/Howell clan!

Chicken and fried potatoes - yum!

We all love Paw's taters!

We've spent a few days working at our flip house - we are uncovering one wall of 1930s shiplap in each room!  

My senior girls at church brought me flowers on Wednesday night - so sweet!!!

One of my mornings last week started like this - we got the kids to school and I sang while Blu played as he prepped his Sunday music!

We don't mind road trips delivering unit sets because we get to eat at good places like Texas Roadhouse!

It sure did make for a LONG day in the truck though!

A fun game night trying out a new game (Pandemic) with Kesi & Kenny!

Here's a look at Cason!  He's enjoyed running hurdles during track season (he has one more meet left), and he will start city league baseball soon!

Here's a few last pictures from basketball season that Bmaw got - you do NOT want Cason guarding you!

Cason & AJ hanging out on the roof...

My little baby all grown up in his track uniform!

He enjoyed a morning fishing trip with Grandpa a few Saturdays ago!

Here's a look at what Cam's been up too.  She doesn't play any spring sports, so she stays busy with theatre, debate, and watching her brothers!

And hugging on sweet girls like Kharis!

And having silly photo shoots with me....

I love this girl! 

Caedmon has been busy with EVERYTHING - theatre, track, baseball, his girlfriend, etc.!

A last pic of basketball season from Bmaw!

He plays left field on the JV baseball team, and his batting has improved a lot!  

This is how he feels about running the 400m run!  But he's doing great!  He currently has PRs in the 800m of 2:31, 62 in the 400m, and 5:51 in the mile!

We also had our 8th-12th grade Spring Retreat a couple of weeks ago!  We had 23 kids - a great group!

They all stayed at our house - boys camped out/stayed at Paw's and Bmaw's, and the girls stayed in our house!  Paw was an awesome pancake flipper!

Blu & Heath, our awesome Howard Payne University youth intern!

Landon and Camille - our associate youth pastor.  We can't wait for their wedding on May 15th!

Caedmon, Matthew, and Chris

Capture the Flag Team 2

I don't know how this guy does ALL that he does, but he does it very well...

Pictionary!

This week is a crazy one with BiDistrict One Act Play Competition, 2 baseball games, UIL Academic Competition, and a track meet!  I need a nap just thinking about it! ;)
