Look What I Can Do On Two Wheels!

Garrett has been expressing an interest in learning how to ride his bike without training wheels for a few weeks now. I told Andy on Saturday that we should think about taking them off sometime in the near future. This is what I found my son doing when I came home from the Benfer Choir Contest on Saturday.

This is what he was doing on Sunday.

Just a Swinging!

All of my children have enjoyed swinging on a playground but none of my children have enjoyed it as much as Garrett. He can literally go outside for hours and hours and just swing. Can't say that I mind too much!!

I shot just a few seconds of him swinging today just so I can remember our "swinging days" when this is no longer his favorite way to pass a day.

A Bluebonnet Kinda Day

I just love springtime and love wild flowers along the Texas highways. One of my favorite pictures of me and my sister growing up is on Easter Sunday in the bluebonnets. Alas, with the kids it has been hit or miss on getting the pictures with the bluebonnets but I was determined this year.

I get a little nervous stopping alongside of the road with 5 kids so I decided to go to Washington on the Brazos state park. The kids could see the birthplace of Texas and I could walk among the bluebonnets with no worries of cars. Well, walking is what we did. Andy and I went there in college to look at the bluebonnets and apparently the field is a little farther than I remembered. Me and my new heeled sandals did not like the about mile walk round trip to the bluebonnets and I have the blisters this morning to prove it.

But it was a beautiful day. We saw beautiful flowers and a bunny. How approriate is that for Easter Sunday. The awesome picture of all 5 kids together will have to wait - I just could not get them to all look at the same time. But I did get some nice ones of them individually. Enjoy!

Doesn't Brandon look like he thinks is Momma is crazy for making him pose for these pictures?

This is as good as it got with all the kids.

One of Andy and me for good measure.

A bunny on Easter Sunday - what a perfect treat!
