Trenton comes to Texas

Trent and his friend, Alex, came to Texas for a visit.  

Alex is a photographer and got some great shots of all the fun.

Trent certainly got his hockey fix while he was here.

Much to his fathers delight.

Craig's Aunt Sandy and Uncle Yoon where also in town and stopped by to say hello.  It has been years since we've seen them and we were very happy to have them stop by.

Trent and Alex treated us to a nice dinner

(I guess my suggestions of left overs was not to their liking!)

I say they made the right decision.

The day Trent and Alex left we took some time for a quick family photo shoot. 

 (shamelessly abusing Alex's skills)

No, these amateur photos are from my camera (except the nice family photo below)

We are still waiting on her shots.

We loved having them here and were so sad to see them go.  But we're all looking forward to May when we head to San Francisco to see our boy walk with his class major for graduation.

It's Spring school photos time

I can, without a doubt, say our children took the most beautiful photos in the history of Texas schools.

If you think I'm joking, just take a look at these beauties!

Okay, I may be a bit biased.

Yep, it's soccer time again!

Logan is back on the field, playing soccer once again.

He's actually back on the ACES, he's got his old coach from his first season and several of the same team mates.  Which we LOVE!

Oh yes, and remember Logan's love, Maddie  . . .

Yep, I think some of those old feelings are stirring!

Luckily he was able to pull himself away from the pretty blond to kick the ball once or twice at practice.

A day in the life . . .

We spent this weekend taking care of some things around the house.

First, we had fun watching Dylan while Brandy and Dave went to a wedding.  

Craig installed two rain collections bins.  

We're excited to be able to use all the rain we're supposed be getting to water the plants and garden . . . 

Funny thing is that it rained this morning and this bin is already almost full!

Speaking of our plants and garden, I had to share this beautiful Lollipop Gerber daisy I found at Lowes.

I LOVE this.  The blossom is huge, I can't wait till more bloom.

 I just hope I don't kill it.

And the kids and I planted our garden last weekend and everything has already sprouted. (well, to be fair, a few were seedlings)

We can't wait to see how we do this year.  

We planted corn, tomatoes, bell peppers, green beans, lettuce, green onions, zucchini, yellow squash and cantaloupes.

And lastly, I found out about Knock out roses.  They're beautiful, grow fast and full and stay blooming from Spring through the first frost.  I've been told they do wonderfully here, so we planted several of them.   

I'll let you know how they do.
