The start of spring break

What a great start to Spring Break..for Luke that is. We had never taken the boys to Rainforest Cafe and we had a gift card, so we thought what a fun idea. Jake hated it, if you can't tell. He spent the first half of our trip hanging as far over our shoulders as possible. He hated the gorilla that they sat us right under. Every time it went off he would freak out. Luke had so much fun. They did both enjoy the firecracker dessert. Seriously though $13 for a brownie and ice cream. My brownies taste much better than theirs, oh but I did eat it though. Have a good Spring Break.

Palm Sunday

Yesterday at our new church, Prestonwood North, we celebrated Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday was when Jesus rode into the city and people put there coats on the ground and praised him singing Hosannah. Well in church we were singing Hosannah, while this video played scenes of what it might have been like. All of the sudden I see palm branches waving down the middle isle. It was children and teachers waiving palm branches and singing. I don't know if the kids really new the exact words, but it did not matter. The thought of these innocent children praising Jesus and singing hosanna brought tears to my eyes. That is what it was like. No matter what, people just wanted to praise Jesus. Then as the song ends and the children are leaving I see that my precious Luke is one of the kids. All day yesterday he was waving his palm branch and singing Hosannah. He loves Jesus and that makes me so happy. We are really trying to stress what Easter means and this was a great way to start the week of Easter. If you do not have a church to go to, I would like to invite you to Prestonwood North. We love it. You can check out the web at prestonwood.org/north. Happy Easter Week. Let's all put our eyes on Jesus during this very special week.

It snowing in Prosper

So what a week it has been. Monday, the snow came hard in Prosper. Tuesday the snow melted in Prosper. Wednesday, it was 70 degrees in Prosper, Thursday it snowed and snowed and snowed in Prosper. I have never seen snow flakes that big. The boys had so much fun. It took Scott 2 hours to come home, so the boys were more than ready to go play. Jake just wanted to eat the chocolate chips we were using for the mouth. Yes, I know we were stretching for things to make a snowman. Who new we would get snow ever that much in Prosper.

Hodge Podge

Hey guys,

I have not posted in forever. The new year has come and gone. I really made no resolutions, but Scott and I did start Weight Watchers and have stuck to it pretty well, except for the weekend. We save our extra points and our cheat day for the weekend. We have a small party over here for new years, everyone was gone before 11, how old are we. We played 1980's Trivial Pursuit. It was so much fun...

I am not even sure what all we have been doing this month. I am working on starting a new business with one of my friends. We are making girl clothes. They are turning out so cute. I don't think my boys would look cute in them, so I guess we will have to dress our friend's kids.

Jake has made the transition to his big boy room. He is getting better, but the first week was kind of crazy. The first day of nap he pulled his dresser on top of him and was pinned. Crazy boy!! He was trying to get the stuffed deer head hanging on his wall above his dresser. If he could just sleep all night in the bed, we would be doing a little better. He goes to sleep fine, just comes to see me in the middle of the night. It was kind of sad taking all of the baby stuff down, but the room looks awesome. so if you need any baby stuff, all of mine if for sale.

This weekend was a fun weekend for Luke and Jake. Jake went to Granna and Papaw's for a sleepover on Friday night. Luke went to Friday Night Frenzie at the gym was some friends. That means Beth and Scott got to eat dinner with adults and no kids jumping over and under the table. Saturday Luke went to his good friend, future wife's, bday party at the bounce house. My parents had said they wanted to take the boys to the stock show in FT. Worth on Saturday, so I thought instead of having another grown up day, Scott and I should go to. It was fun, but it would have been more fun if we had not gone right in the middle of Jake's naptime. No nap for a almost 2 year old is not the best of times, but by the end, the little Cowboy decided to have fun. My parents had taken Luke a couple of years ago and bought him his first Cowboy hat, so they did the same for Jake. I do have to say I think I have the cutest little Cowboys around.

Can you believe Christmas is over....

I can't. I have been trying to put away all of the Christmas decorations and Jake keeps putting the Santas back out saying SEEEEEEEEENTA. What a fun Christmas we have had!! We started off by going to the boys Christmas program at school on Thursday night. Yes our little Jake, not 2 yet was a part of the program. His class sang 3 songs before the play started. He started out with Jingle Bells and he shook the bells. The next song was about Mary and baby Jesus, he stood there and picked his nose the entire song. The last song was jump and hop, which is really funny to watch because he tries to jump so hard. Then came our big guy Luke. The pre-k class gets all the big parts. Luke was a shepherd. He sung his heart out. I cannot believe he is in Pre-K and had tears in my eyes thinking next year he will be in kindergarten.

We have had 3 Christmas' since then. The boys have had so much fun, but are wiped out. One fun neat thing we also did this year was special in Prosper. FBC Prosper had Christmas Eve at the barn. The kids cooked smores, decorated cookies, saw animals. It was really fun and relaxing. Once again, I love Prosper.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Happy New Year.

My favorite time of year!!

Have I told you how much I love Christmas. This year is awesome. We are having so much fun. Two of my favorite traditions we have started are baking goodies for our neighbors and going on a sleigh/hayride to look at lights. We started the cooking tradition 3 or 4 years ago. I love it. My parents come over and we bake all day. We make cookies, candy, and treats for about 30 families. It is so much fun. Last year we started the tradition to go look at lights on a sleigh ride. We had more go with us this year, so we did a hay ride instead. It was so much fun. Have a very Merry Christmas.

A MAC advertisement

So my busy little Jake decided this morning he wanted to wear lipstick. Of course he decided to wear my MAC long lasting lip whatever that does not come off. Seriously, it is like paint. We tried everything before church to get it off. I would not even kind of come off. So Jake and I did not attend church. About 5 this evening it started to wear off. So if you need a good lipstick. Try the MAC extended whatever lip gloss.

I love Prosper. Last night we went to a Prosper Country Christmas. There was a mini parade, vendors, singing, and shopping. The boys have so much fun. It has gotten bigger every year. This year we did not know most of the people there, which is totally opposite from when we started growing. I wish Prosper would stay little.

I also wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. This is the best time of year. Jake gasps at every Santa, light, snowman, or anything Christmas. The other day someone told Luke Happy Holidays. He looked at me and said "she said the wrong thing..she is supposed to say Merry Christmas." That made my day. He loves playing with nativity scenes. I am very blessed to have my boys.
