Then and Now

Looking Back... we've come so far. Thank you Lord for Your Hands...

May 2010

Neely and I are almost finished with our first school year in Plainview. Kyla is about to complete her 2nd grade year and turn 8 years old. Neely reminded me today that in another 8 years she will have her driver's liscence. Not nice... :) These are a few pictures of our family time this Saturday night. The girls love to turn the music on the computer up really loud and dance around in the family room. FUN STUFF!

Kyla and Laura are ready for summer. We plan on spending time together and with family and friends. Hopefully we will go to Red River with both sets of granparents and to Surfside Beach with my parents and sister. We are also hoping to visit Aunt Traci and Uncle Paul in St. Louis and Uncle John and Aunt June in Paris. Between that maybe some VBS and a few trips to Wichita Falls for fun with friends there. Whew... I'm tired already.

Easter Weekend 2010

We had a three day weekend around Easter and loved every minute of our travels. Friday we had lunch with Josh Deerinwater and the Wood Fam. After lunch Friday we drove to Dallas and met Nana and Grandad, Traci, Paul, Andrew, Daniel, David, John, June, Trey, Jenna, Joy, and Julia in Fort Worth. We had supper together and then Saturday morning watched our nephew, Daniel, race in the 1000 meters! It was a great time! We ate at Pappasitos twice and it was a hoot both times... great waitress and awesome food! Saturday afternoon Nee, the girls, and I headed to Gorman and stayed at "the trailer" camping with mom, dad, and Clarissa. Kyla caught a big mouth bass :) and was so excited! We went to church at FBC Gorman. After church we went to my Aunt Jonell's church and had lunch and an egg hunt with my mom's fam. Then the weary travelers set out for home.... What a busy, wonderful, memory making trip.

Laura Turns Four!!!

Can you believe how fast our lives roll... My youngest turned four last week and I have a really hard time saying that and believing it. We have enjoyed every day with Laura Hope!! She is a blast to be around and loves life.

She cracks us all up almost constantly with her little ways. As she put it best a couple of weeks ago..."We've had a lot of fun times togehter, huh, Lamby." Love you Laura Hope!

Wed. we went to Lubbock and had lunch together with Memaw and Aunt Clarissa and then went to the Western Heritage Museum with Nana and Grandad.

Spring Break Day 2

Spring Break Day 2 was a fun day. We went to church and a then traveled to Memaw and Pa's for fun for a couple of days. We played in the back yard , on the hammock, with Aunt Clarissa's barbie's, with the Wii, went to the duck pond, and of course ice cream at DQ. Thanks Memaw and Pa for a day of fun, fun, fun....

Spring Break Day 1

Great opening day for Spring Break 2010! Beautiful weather... no wind and about 65-70 degrees!!! Kyla and Laura enjoyed a fun time outside for part of the day while Neely and I worked in the garage and yard and then later enjoyed a movie and books.
