Bluebonnets 2009

Texas finally got our bluebonnets!! We got some rain about 3 weeks ago, enough to help sprout the bluebonnets. Last year's drought meant no annual bluebonnet pics so we were happy to see them pop up this year. We trekked out today to find a good patch and the kids dutifully sat in them as we shot about a thousand pictures. It was Finn's first time and he was so curious. The girls' did great too!!!! Maisie said, "Momma, maybe I can pick you a pretty bluebonnet." Aww, how thoughtful. Unfortunately it's illegal to pick them so Craig told her we couldn't or the cops would come get her. Of course he said it in jest, but she was really worried. Poor kid! We absolutely LOVE our bluebonnet pictures and hope you do too!

Love, Us

Rockin' the house at Sea World

Last Saturday we had our nieces over to the house to watch the girls and my men (Craig and Finn) took me to a Third Day concert at Sea World. We have season passes and so the admission was FREE!!! It's Sea World's Annual Praise Wave Family Christian Day. Third Day is one of our fave Christian rock bands.....and they did not disappoint!! It was like being at a rock concert and a church service at the same time. It was amazing to be surrounded by so many Christ followers, all praising God and rocking out. Finn loved it too. We stood in the back of the outdoor theatre so as to protect his ears as best we could. The lead singer, Mac Powell, even waved at Finn who was perched on top of Daddy's shoulders. About halfway through the concert, I looked over at Craig and Finn and Finn was sleeping (yes sleeping) on his shoulders. He dozed off for about 15 minutes and then woke up and enjoyed the rest of the concert. Only a baby could fall asleep with that kind of noise!! We had an amazing time and it was a nice break for us. We arrived home later that evening and when the girls found out where we had gone they said, "WHAT?? YOU WENT TO SEA WORLD WITHOUT US??" How dare we!! Check out our photos. Sea World rocked the house!!
