“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Poteet Strawberry Festival...
I have only been to the Strawberry Festival once before, and it wasn't quite what we thought it was going to be. But this time, it was great. We enjoyed the rides, booths, games, and the yummy food. We ate sausage wraps, had cups of corn, funnel cake, kettle popcorn, but did not manage to have strawberries at the Strawberry Festival..lol It was overcast for the most part of the day, but still real humid, so I got the kids some hats made, and they are totally cute. On the drive down there we drove past a few fields of wild flowers, so I couldn't help myself and pulled off to snap some pics. Brandon was up in Austin working on the house, so he wasn't able to join us, but there is always next year. My little girl rode on her first big girls ride "the swings" and I got all teary eyed, thinking how fast she is growing up. Braden of course wasn't tall enough to go on, so I took him to the kiddie swings and the look on his face was priceless, "like c'mon are you serious". We got there pretty early and ended up staying for 8 hours, so we were to tired to stay for the firework show. Though on the way home we saw some fireworks going off in the air, which we thought was totally odd, considering they were in the middle of no where. But anyhow, here are some pictures of our event filled day. 
Happy Resurrection Day!!!
I just want to start off by saying Thank You Jesus for dying on the cross for us, and then rising again 3 days later. It is very exciting to know that you LOVED us so much that you gave up your life for us, and yet we can never Thank-You enough, no matter how much we try or do.
So on that happy note, we had yet again another awesome holiday, spent with family and friends. This year I got the pleasure of hosting Easter at my house. I love hosting, it's so much fun to me. I get to decorate, cook, make cute little things, it's just so enjoyable. We initially planned on having a picnic but with the rainy weather, plans changed. So instead everyone came over for some good food and fun. We had ham, roast, creamed corn, veggie platters, macaroni salad, baked beans, broccoli casserole (Paula Deen's recipe and super yummy) chips, dips, and lots of yummy deserts. Oh can't forget the sherbet fruit punch.. After dinner, the older kids played outside and cracked confetti eggs on one another, and the little ones got to enjoy the play set out back and did there Easter Egg Hunt. Brandon and Jason took forever hiding all the eggs, and when I looked out back I saw Jason who just dropped all the candy out of an egg pick it up put the candy back in and hide it. It was so hilarious!! You have to know Jason to understand that is humorous. My cousin Alexis was down here from California, so we got to enjoy her, and my great friend Monique came down from Killeen as she did last year, so its going to be our new Easter tradition.
Oh I can't forget about the children's play at church. Aubrynn was suppose to come out with a palm tree branch waving it up and down, but no she covered her face with it. I definitely had the cutest little girl up there, and the little girl who kept her fingers in her mouth the entire play and still managed to picked her nose and ate it IN FRONT OF EVERYONE!!! Yep only my little precious angel could tackle all that... lol I hope everyone's Easter was as great as ours.
