American Pride~

Our home group from church decided to go and greet the troops that were arriving at DFW airport after serving overseas. They were arriving here for r and r, so we set out to make them feel welcome!

We all got together the night before for a pizza and sign making party....here are some of the results!

 It was incredibly humid that morning, so my camera kept fogging up! Here is Jackson handing a soldier some gum and mints.....must have fresh breath when returning to USA!! The kids really got into it and the soldiers were so gracious.

 Some of the soldiers just wanted to get out of there, but most took the time to take what the kids had and we were able to tell them thank you.

 Here is most of the gang.....we had a few that had to leave...we were there for a long time and we got there at 9 in the morning. It was a fun experience for the all of our families and I'm so glad we got to honor the troops in our own little way!

I didn't do it...........

Spring Sports Wrap Up!

This is the first year of "kid pitch" for Jackson's age group so it was fun to see all the kids show off their skills this season!

 His arm looks abnormally far back!

 Good form!

 Drew finished his second season with the Liverpool academy team. He loved it and seems to have a love for all sports.

Here he is making his move...about to steal the ball!
If you would have told me in high school that I was going to love watching my sons play sports, I would have laughed! Now, I totally get into the games and love every minute of it. I especially love it because they do :)

Hippity-Hoppity

Easter in KC this year....it was a cold one. We had to break out some winter gear, but we got to celebrate with our cousins!

 The sun came out just long enough to send the kids outside to eat!

 The next morning, the kids dyed eggs with Nana and Papa....

 Nana and Papa with their 4 grandchildren!! What a great picture!

 We went to church the night before Easter because we had to head back to TX on Easter, so here we are on our way to church.

 Easter morning....the Easter bunny came and hid eggs in the basement! Brooke is so excited!

 Jackson is especially lucky because he got an egg with a $20 bill inside of it!

Cooper was full of excitement about Easter, can't you tell?

 Drew and his gold coins....

 The fearless four!

 At Easter brunch, on our way to the airport...Brooke gives one last Easter hug to Nana and Papa.
