KK Egg Hunt

We went to KK for the annual egg hunt.

I thought Abby would have a hard time letting the other kids hunt the eggs, but she didn't.
She amused her self with the sand table and was fascinated by all the kids.
Anne was finally able to get her entire allotment of ten eggs.

On your marks, get set, go!

Egg Dying

Last Wednesday we engaged in the annual egg dying tradition. I recruited Gra'ma to come over and help since Abby was going to be involved. We did this last year during her nap time. After the eggs were turned into master pieces and dropped several times to soften them up we headed out side to hide and hunt.

Oh Anneee!

The Blue Bird Festival 2011

We met Granny and Donna again this year in Wills Point for the Blue Bird Festival. We had fun last time and this year was even better.

The Blue Bird Train.

They had real WRASLIN this year.
Anne was mesmerized.
Abby was scared out of her wits.

Look at the nice man in the Aggie shirt.

The Snake Man was back again.

Abby did not care for the snakes.

We can't wait until next year!

Playground

Around Christmas time this past year my sweet friend Lisa gave us their wooden playground. They were going to get something new and she asked if we would like to have there old one. I said yes! After three weekends of hard work Scott and Papa finished putting it back together. It proved to be a much more difficult job than we anticipated, but the girls love it and have been playing on it everyday.

Weekend #1

This is the Garreds leaving after a morning of manual labor. Notice they are still smiling. Josh helped with the playground while Krystal and I worked on the garden.

Weekend #2

Here is the finished product. The girls have been having a ball!

Garden

This year I planted a garden.

I have always thought of myself as an agriculturist, connected to the land, getting my fingers dirty in the black earth. We'll see how things go.

I coerced my friend Krystal to come over and help me build the raised bed box. She thought she was coming over to relax, but instead I forced her to do some manual labor.

Do you see my bulging tri-ceps. Yeah, I thought so.

Krystal has equally large muscles. We've been working out.

Here's how things are going so far.

La Torretta Lake Resort and Spa

We went to visit Gran and Grandpa in Conroe a couple of weeks ago and had a wonderful time. They live next to a beautiful resort, Del Torretta, and have access to all the amenities. The guys played golf, I shopped, the girls played with Gran, we swam, and even saw a real Indian wedding.

The girls tried out the kid weight lifting machines and then played a little racket ball with Gran and Daddy.

This is what Anne refers to as water world. She had a blast.
