Color Run

The kids' school had a 5k Color Run this morning.  Everyone wanted to run except Teague so he hung out with some of his friends while we took pictures of the others.  They all did great and crossed the finish line covered in color! 

Free snow cones for all the finishers is always a plus!!

Opening Day

It finally got here...Opening Day!! Our annual tailgating started early this morning with breakfast casserole and pigs in a blanket. Then around lunch, Trish fired up the grill and we had fajitas and chips and dip with fruit and cookies and cupcakes and cake! There is always plenty to eat!! The morning was a little chilly, but it warmed up nicely by game time! Although the Rangers lost, we still loved cheering them on and starting baseball season off right!!

Christian Youth Weekend

Six Flags had its Christian Youth Weekend this weekend so we took the youth to ride rides and see Lecrae in concert. We had two van loads full and pulled out at 8am and didn't pull back in until 1am!! 

After lunch, Amber met us out there!

During the concert, the boys started to get cold and tired and cranky. 

Good thing Aunt Amber bought them snakes, they served as a blanket once the sun went down. The second their head hit the chair in the van, they were out!

Our trips to Six Flags are always so much fun!!

6 years old!

Yesterday Teague turned 6!  He got a ton of birthday calls throughout the day, donuts in the morning and his favorite meal, taco salad, that night. We ended the night with ice cream cake and presents! I would say that's a pretty good birthday!

Through the years...

 I pray God uses your life in a big way to touch many! You are such a blessing to me and our family. We love you, Teague!

A glimpse of Heaven

Last night our city had a city wide church service. It was held in McLane Stadium and over 35,000 people were in attendance. The choir was made up of 900 singers from across the town and the band brought every type of music into the songs we were singing. We sang hymns, we sang contemporary songs we even sang in Spanish! They would start one song with a Latin feel and by the end we had transitioned to hip hop and gospel and back to Latin! It was amazing! I just kept thinking that this is what Heaven is going to be like; no racial or denominational or socioeconomic boundaries, just praising Jesus in one voice!! It was awesome!!

Teague's Birthday Party

Ever since we took Troy and Kelby to Austin Park and Pizza for their birthdays, Teague has told us that's where he wants his party to be, too. And the day finally came! He invited one friend, and Mimi was even able to join us, and we spent the afternoon riding rides, eating and playing games. By the time we got home everyone was asleep so we just transferred them all to their beds and crashed. This morning after cinnamon rolls and sausage and a little play time we dropped his friend off and headed to church. It was a fun and exhausting night but they sure did have fun!

Mom got our picture playing laser tag from outside while she watched us on the screen.
