What's growing at your house?

At the ranch we are in full bloom!

Our onions are just about ready for some good pico!
Tomatoes are looking great!
This will eventually be a BIG, orange carrot!

Bluebonnets!

Our pecan tree is developing nicely, which means SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

Blake's sunflowers!

My sweet little tomatillo! I'm ready for some salsa!

Crawfish Party Season!

You know spring is here when the crawfish parties began! We enjoyed the Godrey's annual crawfish celebrations this evening! Latex free gloves only way to go when eating crawfish. This way we don't get crawfish on our allergy child! Plus, it was nice not having the gook on our hands.
Having fun playing in the sand box!


April and I have been working together for many years now and this is the first picture we have ever taken together! Pretty strange since I take soooo many pictures.


Blake was at the party, but he was off playing with all the other kids his age!

You know your little boy is getting BIG.....

when he is climbing everything in site!

Well...maybe he should not be climbing this!

Blake: "Mommy you know what I really want to climb?"

Mommy: "What would you like to climb?"

Blake: "The house! Wouldn't that be so cool!"

Mommy: "How do you plan on getting up there?"

Blake: "HMMM--It's pretty tall! Well I would probably need a ladder!"

Before I know I will have two boys on top of my house...well probably three if you count their daddy!

My niece, Kourtney, got her braces off this past Monday! I have to share her picture with everybody because I think she is absolutely beautiful!

Fun in the Sun! Well...and the draining of the pond!

Billy and his dad are draining the pond for repairs, so we made the area into a nice little splash "pool!"

Blake playing in the pumped pond water!

Mammy and her little buddy - I'm sure checking out a bug! My sweet little Chasey bug!

Hmmmm....I can only imagine what he was telling them?

The crooked tree by the pond

Helping his little brother up the hill to play in the water

Chase was having a little to much fun to go inside!

Just another day in the life of Chase Edward!

Since, January Chase has been to the doctor nine times for ear infections. The decision was finally decided to get him tubes.

It was a early morning, but a quick surgery!

Checked into the hospital at 6:30 a.m., headed to surgery by 8:30 a.m. and crying in mommy's arms by 9:00 a.m.

Watching a little Playhouse Disney before surgery!

A nice nap after surgery!

I'm hoping this is the end to ear infection.

Easter 2010

Easter! Easter! Easter!

Holiday weekends are always fast for us, especially when we travel. Now, when it was just Blake traveling it was so easy. He always slept or quietly looked out the window. Well, my little monster, Chase, has made traveling a little more difficult. He does not like to sit still in his car seat and his naps are very quick.

Our little trip to mom and dad's which usually takes about 3 hours was well over 4 hours!

Thank goodness for the McDonald's happy meal box, which transformed into a helmet from "How To Train A Dragon." This kept him entertain for about 5 seconds....

This is Blake's little hideaway in the very back. What a handsome kid!

We stayed the evening at Brock and Carrie's and the kids had fun at the water table. Three boys and water don't mix...can't expect them to stay dry!

Blake and Brantley dying Easter eggs!
