Carrot Crop

Here is our carrot crop that we planted in the fall (still experimenting), and they just grew big enough to pick. We picked them last night and they are soooooo good!! We've already finished them off today! We are getting ready to plant some more seeds to hopefully have more by the summer.

Bluebonnets

On Tuesday I took the kids to the dentist (good reports!) and then went and ran some errands. We decided to stop off and take some pictures in the bluebonnets. I didn't really have them dressed for pictures, but I still think they are adorable as ever. :) I couldn't really see their faces in the camera because it was so bright out, and there is only one of them with both kids not squinting, but these are the ones we got.Looking back at the ducks in the pond that swam by.

Round Rock Express

On Monday night the boys went to the Round Rock Express game together while Finley and I stayed home and I gave her a pedi. It was fun all around. These pictures are from the Express game.
First ball Bryson caught!
He ended up with 3 balls at the end of the night!
It was a very late game. Mike sent a text around 10:30 saying it was only the 11th inning and Bryson wanted to stay. He didn't have school the next day, so we let him, and they didn't get home until midnight!! I can't believe he was able to stay up that late! He slept in the next morning, and when I went in to wake him up I found him and Chloe cuddling. :)

T-Ball and Spelunking

This past weekend Bryson had a t-ball game and it was also area cave day. We have a cave right here in our own neighborhood, so that is how we knew about it. It is only open 2 times a year. Those 2 times a year they also open a few others in the area that you can climb down in and tour. After Bryson's game Papa came over to head to the cave in our neighborhood to see it, and we decided to go from there and explore some others that were open.

Here is a picture from the game of the Rattlers team.
Here are a few pictures from the first cave that is in our neighborhood. It was by far the cleanest and most interesting inside.
The second cave was by far the muddiest, but had the most to explore further down. There were also some tiny bats inside this one.
The last one took a long walk to get to. At first there was a pathway for hiking and then it turned into a long sidewalk that lead to an old wooden cabin. We walked along a stream the whole way. We kept hiking for a while after that to get to the cave that was more of a huge rock overhang. It was so pretty out there though, and was probably our favorite to explore!
Finley loved picking flowers along the way.
We also saw so many flowers out there, and one of the coolest groups of flowers I've ever seen before! They were star-shaped, some open, some not. We had the BEST time!!! Can't wait to do it again :)

T-ball Has Begun Again

We are so excited that t-ball season has started up again. Bryson was really looking forward to it this time around, more so than last time. He has been really into sports lately and waits for the practice and game days to come around. He is #8 this season, and their team is called the Rattlers.
Finley likes it too! :)

Easter 2010

This year, the day before Easter we went down to my sister's house and dyed eggs with the kids and they also hunted Easter eggs while we were there. Nick's family was there as well, and we all had a great time!

My sister, Dad and I walked the kids down to the park to take some pictures while the 'Easter Bunny' made his appearance to hide eggs back at the house. My sister took these pictures of the kids while we were down there.
Back to the house and the hunting began...
And the chocolate began as well...
Then Uncle Nick played with some of the kids toys...
We also captured some family pictures...
We felt baby Everett kicking around in there. He should be arriving by the end of this week!! :) We are so excited!

Fun with the Dunmires

Last month Mike and Bryson headed to New Braunfels to hang out with the Dunmire boys. They did all sorts of boy things and Bryson and Wyatt had a great time playing together the whole weekend. They are really looking forward to the next time already!
