Do-Si-Do and Here We Go...

Tuesday, April, 15, 2008: Hunter had his first school performance. The kids sang early American songs, and danced. He did a great job. He was really feeling it up there and I received several comments later about his great sense of rhythm.




Friday, April, 18, 2008: Daddy decided to take the day off work to have a fun family day. We let Hunter skip school and headed to the Dallas Zoo. Grace's best buddy (and on again off again boyfriend) Derrick came with us. He had never been to the zoo and had a blast.

These monkeys were cracking us up playing tag.

These eagles were hollering at us, b/c they had an egg (which was fake), but they didn't know any better and were protecting it.

Later that evening we went to watch Hunter's friends, Jake and Troy play baseball. They were both on Hunter's football team this past year, and we have since become great friend's with both families. The Owens family also came to the game and we ended up hanging out with them afterwards. There were a few other Eagle's families there that night as well to support the boys. I really love being a part of that organization and the sense of community that it has established for us and our children.

Saturday, April, 19, 2008: We got up early Saturday morning and headed to Plano to celebrate Yossarian's 2nd birthday. On the way there, we stopped to pick up my friend's son Gabriel so he could ride with us. I had never met him before. He is seven and totally cracked me up with his eagerness to educate me on the ride there. He told me the average number of trees that each American goes through in a year, and what that total amount comes to nationwide, and how many houses we could build with the 50% of products that are not recycled. It was all very interesting and clearly my memory is not near as god as his, as I am unable to give you any of those statistics now. LOL! It's a lot though, so recycle your shit people! The party was a lot of fun. I got to see a bunch of my girlfriends and both of my kids had fun hanging out over there.

Sunday, April, 20, 2008: I met the Brown family at a local park to take family pictures for them. This is another family that we met through the Eagles organization. We took some pics at City Lake Park, then headed to a field of bluebonnets for the rest of the shoot. They are a really sweet family and I look forward to hearing about their future adventures. They are moving to Italy in July where Marlin has taken a job. They plan on being there for the next 3-5 years.
