Tumblin' Tumbleweed

Look what Nathan caught as it tumbled down the sidewalk.

You can tell we're still new to the Texas Panhandle.  We pose for pictures in the front yard with a giant weed.  It really is pretty cool--huge too!  I'm even being more touristy by saving it--I've planned to take one to Iowa this summer, and I'll be hard-pressed to find a bigger one.

Evenings in Amarillo

We're loving it here.  Our spring weather has varied from highs in the 40s to highs in the 80s, but we have enjoyed it all.  The boys are only in the house if they've run out of things to do outside--which is rare.  Praise God that He has given us such a great place to live and raise a family!

Softball Cookout

Can you see the little Black boy in the tree above?

There he is!

Nathan and Cali enjoying the fellowship at the Trinity softball post-game cookout.

Ricky's glad to be back on a softball team--

Nathan took this picture--Pretty good job, huh?

Easter Best

The children are allowed to stand in the flower beds 

for picture purposes only.

The purple tulip is a casualty of this "stand in the flower bed" decision.

Cali and Daddy care for the tulips, runiculus', and daffodils.

Easter Morning

Easter Sunday was cold.  

We did our Easter egg hunt inside, 

but the cascarones still had to be done outside.  

I think we've still got egg shells and confetti in the front yard.

Dying Easter Eggs

We all had fun dying the eggs this year.  

Daddy insists on dying lots of eggs, so we can have lots of deviled eggs Sunday afternoon.

More Spring Break Pictures

Cali thought she was hot stuff on the slide.

Medi Park in Amarillo

One of the last days of spring break--

we enjoyed the beautiful weather and ducks/geese at Medi Park.

Micah Daniel--first grader

Micah is showing off his stereotypical first grade smile.  He made the principal's list again for this 3rd quarter of school.  He's much like his mother--if he chooses to do his schoolwork, it's good work--if not, it's not.
