Olivia's Short Summer Hair

Olivia wanted a short hair cut like her friend Kayleigh at preschool. This picture doesn't really do it justice. It is super cute. It will be great for summer. It was her first trip to the salon. Usually I trim her hair.

Wild Flowers Part 2

I don't remember the wildflowers ever being this beautiful before or lasting so long. They can be found on the side of the road/freeway or any empty lot. Here are some pictures of my kids in the flowers.


Olivia had crazy hair day at school, if you are wondering about all of the ponytails.

The Bluebonnets come out first. It is the state flower and I have been told that it is illegal to pick them. I don't know if this is true or not, it seems like an urban legend. We still don't pick them.

The sun was in Olivia's eyes but it was too cute to leave out.

Happy Easter

We had so much fun this year celebrating Easter. We decorated eggs. My kids are getting pretty good at this precess. They used to just watch us do it. Now they can do it with just a little help.

Nice tongue Mark :(


Olivia colored all of her eggs pink, of course, with glitter and stickers.

The Easter Bunny brought baskets and hid eggs all around the house.

Then, we were invited to have dinner at the Schneider's house with the Scotts. They hid eggs in a field by their house so we got to hunt for eggs again.

The weather was perfect and Ethan did a really good job of hiding the eggs so it took the kids a long time to find them all. It was a great day!

The Wild Flowers are Beautiful This Year

South Texas is known for the wild flowers that bloom in the spring. We had been in a drought for the last 2 years so we haven't seen much for wild flowers. This year the drought is over and the flowers are more beautiful than ever. Today is Good Friday and I had planned on taking my kids to get some pictures with the flowers. As you can see, there are no pictures. We are stuck at home because my car is the shop having a $300 valve replaced. Such is life. Maybe tomorrow.
