How can he be 13??

It was just a few days ago that he was this cute little guy!!



Today he is 13. I cant wait to see what all God has planned for him. He is growing up to be such a fine young man.

This boy loves his momma...

(WARNING - Snake pics are below)




How do I know?? He killed this snake for me - actually he didnt even come tell me - he just killed it. I dont like snakes!!


And to save you the time - here is the rhyme - Red & Yellow Kill A Fellow...

The Wait is Over

This beauty finally 'hatched' this morning. Last fall when we found him, he was a gorgeous caterpillar who gave me a nasty sting. I was beginning to think that he wasnt going to live and this morning on this great spring day - God gave us this bonus!

Austin, TX

I always forget how beautiful the Texas Capital is. Friday the boys had a TeenPact Class in Austin. They were lucky enough to be able to spend the day meeting in the capital and learn more about the legislative process. They also did a prayer walk throughout the capital. It was an amazing day for them and Dad.

How many colors do they offer in a cast?

We are hoping not to find out the other color choices... We go back in three weeks for what Mom hopes to be the final visit. The 2nd pic is what little humor we can have with this! : )

Azalea Time

Our neighbors have a huge azalea bush - it is gorgeous!

The girls are showing off their new skirts that a sweet neighbor made for them.


Heres the rest of the crew - what a bunch of hams!

Fashion Statement

This is Raymonds latest accessory for his broken foot. A lovely blue hard cast with matching flip flop.
