Easter 2009

Easter just keeps getting more fun every year that Trey gets older. We colored our eggs and there was a party at pre-school with more eggs and candy, and even school picture day that week too. This year Trey was so excited for the Easter Bunny to come, that it was very hard for him to go to bed the night before so that the Easter Bunny would actually come. That night it rained but the Easter Bunny braved the weather and made it to our house to hide our eggs inside and on the porch so that we didn't get muddy. (Mom was thankful for that.)

Bright and early Trey was up and ready to see if the Easter Bunny came. He was so happy and ready to hunt eggs that we ended up having our Easter egg search in our pj's- which was a lot of fun. Here's some pictures of Trey's fun morning, and of course him all dressed up for picture day at school.

School Picture Day

Easter Morning!

We hope everyone's Easter was as happy and blessed as ours was.

Catching Up....

Most of you by now have probably realized that I have had a terrible failing in keeping our blog updated. To be honest....it's pure laziness on my part. Must be because I spend most of my days at work in front of a computer, and then don't want to look at one when I get home. My goal this weekend is to remedy this problem...or at least get caught up on the last few months and what we've been up to.

It seems to have been a whirlwind since Christmas and time sure has flown- April will be over before we know it!

Here are some pics that I have taken in the last few months:

Making Faces

Trey was having fun one night making faces- so naturally I had to grab the camera.

New-Old Cars

Ty and Trey were out in the garage one Saturday, and while looking for something else Ty stumbled on the box that had all of his old Hot Wheels and such. Needless to say, Trey thought he had died and gone to toy heaven. There is quite a collection as you can see and this is only part of it in the first picture. There are more tractors and trucks that Trey had already "parked" in the living room. His dad reluctantly passed his stuff on to Trey, and now Trey has a whole tub full of his "new-old toys" that he absolutely loves. Thanks, Dad!

Austin

I had to take a trip to Austin for work in March, and of course no trip to Austin is complete without a stop at the Capital. (But I did pass on 6th Street)

Girls Night Out

At the beginning of April, one of my best friends from college, Shannon and I met in Odessa to go to a Cross Canadian Ragweed concert. We had a blast and are already planning our next girls weekend.

Trey's New Hat

Seeing as how it's not summer anymore- we decided that a palm leaf wasn't quite fitting. As part of an early Christmas we got Trey a new felt hat. He's pretty proud of it- even if he didn't want me to take his picture the first day he got.

Sugar

As promised I'm slowly working on getting caught up with posts. Right before Christmas I was driving in to work and saw posting on a vet clinic marquee for a red heeler puppy. For some reason I felt compelled to call and find out about this little dog. What I found out from the lady who was caring for this little dog (after she found her at the elementary school that she teaches at) sounded promising. This was a Friday, and by Sunday I talked Ty into going to take a look at her. Well she's not full heeler; probably more like a heeler/Kelpie cross(we think), but whatever the case, she is absolutely the sweetest dog we've run into. Needless to say, it didn't take long for us to decide to bring her home.

So now in addition to our horses and cat, we have a little dog named Sugar or "Sug".

What a face...




She's a sweetie and pretty smart too




Trey's Constant Companion

Catching up!

Well as you all have probably figured out I post in spurts. I know it's been a long dry spell since I've put anything new up so bear with me. I have lots to add from Christmas so keep checking back as I hope to get it all up in the next few days!

The Horse Stories

Just wanted to take a second to introduce you to the two newest additions to our family here in Texas. Well actually they are not new to us, but all the same, we're tickled to have them here.

Dusty & Peanuts

After not having them with us while we lived in Midland, we are excited to have our ponies. Ty has commented that it really feels like home now that they are here. Despite the fence building and long faces staring over the fence when you get home in the evenings waiting to be fed, we are glad to be adding to our little place in Texas.

First Days of Pre-School and Halloween

Well as I was getting ready to start my new job at Angelo State, Trey was getting ready to embark on a new adventure by beginning pre-school. And cool enough for him Halloween was his second day of school. He got to dress up in his costume and go to the party that his pre-school was having that day. Lucky enough I managed to snap a few pics before we headed out the door.

First day of School



Happy Halloween 2008



Trey was excited that he got to wear his rubber boots to school, but wouldn't wear his "fishing hat" without his trusty CAT cap underneath.

After a little bit of a rough time the first week, Trey is settling into school well and in the midst of all of the hub-bub has about got potty training licked. Ty and I are really proud of him and can't wait to see him blossom in his new adventure.


On a side note- I have started my new job and so far really enjoy it. I work with a great bunch of people and really do like the campus at Angelo State. It's taking me a little time to get used to slacks and heels everyday, but all in good time for this jeans and flip flop mom. ;)
