THE GARDEN!!!

I love gardening. I am not really that good at it, but MAN...do I love it! Just planted last week and I can't wait till they start blooming.

My stab at the "insta garden", my huge Celebrity. (It has 3 blooms already! yeah!)

I sacrificed my strawberries this year to Blake's new pepper stash. He has 11 planted, if we can keep the bugs away! They've already had a snack of habeneros.


Just a big prayer for rain to keep the thing going!!

And then there's the BABIES! We have Court, Rachel, Cathi, Anne Lynette, Wendy, BROOKE and I am sure more that I've missed! They are a coming! Get your stock in some huggies.

Happy Spring!

Upward Fun

Here's a little video from the kids' Upward Award Ceremony, with a twist.

Field Trip

I was lucky to have been picked to chaparone Cam's 2nd grade field trip to KSAT12 this week. It was really a cool field trip to go on, I just hope the kids ahd as much fun as the grown ups! We took a tour of the whole studio & set, saw how everything works, got to sit through the whole Noon Broadcast, and got to do a "Good Morning San Antonio" hello and wave that aired that next morning on the news! All 60+ kids sat VERY quietly through the hour long live broadcast, which blew my mind!

The kids on the set.

Here's the shot as if it were on TV.

The whole class. Such sweet & energetic kids!

The 2nd grade teachers with the crew. Such HUGE hearts for kids these great women have!

Happy Birthday Wendy & Steve

The Taylor travelers were out again and off to Kingsville. So after Cam's basketball game, we drove down to spend our quick 24 hours there. We went to celebrate Dad & Wendy's birthday. We haden't all hung out all together in a really long time. The pictures really didn't do any justice to the amount of FUN & the number of laughs we had that weekend. But, here's the whole family trying to pose for the camera on the coffee table with the timer. Always such good shots.

Happy birthday Wendy & Steve!!! So glad that we got to spend it with you!
