Warning! LOTS of Pictures!!!

I just HAD to post all of these pictures - they are all so cute!
While we were in Wichita Falls this past weekend, Claire and Paul had a t-ball game. It was so fun to watch! It was only their second game but they were hitting home runs like crazy. I might add this was a HUGE improvement from the first game where Paul ran around the bases the WRONG way...twice!

In the dugout

For the first 30 minutes at the ballpark, my angel of a 3-year old, chunked his wings in the trash and threw a monster of a F-I-T! Yeah, I know you would never believe it, but precious Colby did indeed throw a fit! Haha! I chose not to photograph the F-I-T! For the life of him, he just could NOT understand why he couldn't go out there and play baseball too. Finally he decided to accept this injustice and play a baseball game of his own with Levi.

And Miss Mikah was busy keeping score so I didn't get any pictures of her. She is so grown up!

We drove in from Wichita Falls on Saturday morning and went straight to Granny & Papa's church for an Easter Egg Hunt, Fish-Fry, and a concert featuring HisSong. It was alot of fun and HisSong is a really great singing group. I had never heard of them before.

My boys on Resurrection Sunday!

We started our Easter service with the kids singing. Mom and Dad walked in while they were singing and Colby just smiled and waved at them from the platform. It was funny.


Another funny story...my mom played the piano Sunday night. That's not the funny part. As she was coming down from the platform, she got about half way down the aisle and Colby takes off running across the church towards her before I could stop him. I have NEVER seen him run that fast before. I don't know what got into him. I just looked at the floor and turned about 10 shades of red.

Oh, the things kids do...

Catchin' Up & Happy Easter!

Wow - it's been a LONG time since my last post. We've been REALLY busy with a new business adventure that is a whole other post in itself. But here is a glimpse of the fun things that have happened lately!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
(only a month late - so sue me)

On March 22, we dedicated our sweet baby boy, Eli, back to the awesome God that gave him to us. It was such a sweet ceremony.
This was an attempt at a family picture...

And with our wonderful pastor and his beautiful wife...
Bro. Harris showing off our handsome baby boy!
The Commitments...
Bro. & Sis. Harris sang such a sweet song.

The Fam...

The pictures on the screen...

Thanks so much to the Harris' for making Eli's dedication so sweet and meaningful! We love you guys so much and are so blessed with such an awesome pastor and his family. We pray that God will always keep His hand upon Eli and of course, Colby too.

Papa Jack figured out a way to hook a dolly on the back of Colby's tractor so he would have a trailer. I couldn't believe that tractor had the power to pull the trailer plus Shad and Eli. Funny stuff!

And last but not least, a video of a happy baby boy!

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend. I am headed to Wichita Falls to spend a couple of days with Brent, Jenn and the kiddos.
I hope you are blessed beyond measure on this holiday that celebrates the resurrection of our Lord.
Happy Easter with lots of love!
Shad, Casey, Colby & Eli
