Big Brother is Home!

Wade came home from Afghanistan for a three week break. He flew into Houston and stayed with us for 5 days before heading to Louisiana to visit then on to Florida. I love having him home! We enjoyed our visit and ate lots of good food! We, on a whim, decided to boil crawfish, and thanks to Ross for cooking them, it was a great time!

Nothing like hot Reds, corn, onions and taters!

So glad Wade was here during crawfish season! I think he got his fill!

Ross, the king of Kooking! (Misspelled on purpose) 

And, since Brian can't eat them, he always puts at least one to sleep!  Ready for the next time, Tyler's birthday!

No April Fools Here

4/1/15. Two years ago this day I brought this sweet girl home to be a part of our family. 

She has been such a blessing to our family. She's full of love, likes to play and she's the best lizard hunter I've ever seen! I still think of Mocha and Paco often. She filled that empty space in our hearts. 

Our sweet Marlee, also know as Princess. 

New York, New York

Jake had the opportunity to travel to New York over Spring Break with the theatre group from his school. We thought this was an opportunity of a lifetime and we were happy to let him go!  They were gone for 5 days, 4 nights. Jake isn't much of a picture taker, he says he takes them with his eyes and stores them in his memory. But, I did get a few pictures from him. They visited the Empire State Building, the 911 Memorial, attended a Broadway Show and workshop. He said his favorite place was Central Park. We are happy he had a great time and perhaps one day mom and dad will get to visit as well!

At the airport waiting to board. Jake and his friends Trey & Collin.
