Happy Easter
















Coloring Eggs..

This year we weren't able to dye eggs before Easter, so we did it the day after... Better late than never.. My dad got on me and next year I will make sure to do it a couple of days before so we can have deviled eggs on Easter.. :) But we are enjoying them today...









My Sweet Sweet Kids



The Ybarra Ranch

We had a complete blast at the Ybarra Ranch this year. There was so much to do, and we did it all. The kids scored on the Easter egg hunt, Aubrynn ended up with $9.25 and the both of them got lots of candy and toys. The kids had a nerf gun fight, ate lots of food, took a hay rides, and of course Brandon and I rode the ATV's, It was so much fun, I want to buy some now. It was my first time on one, and with a 120 acres to get lost on, I got lucky and didn't. It was fun giving the little ones rides, and seeing their excitement, Braden kept screaming go faster mommy...After dinner the guys set up and played some good old country music. Brycen played football with the older kids, and played on the ATV's with Dominic and right as it got dark, we got a call telling us they ran out of gas, so Brandon and I had to run to the nearest gas station which was 8 miles away, but by the time we got back they had pushed it back, filled up with gas and went out again. I can't wait to go back again, it was a lot of fun!













Easter Craft..

The kids love doing crafts, and I found these at Joann's Fabrics and they had so much fun with them.. Here are our little Easter Bunny's.

Capitol 10K

For the last couple of years Brandon's family has gotten together in the spring to walk the Statesmen Capitol 10K in Austin. This year I agreed to go, but wish I hadn't. The walk was very beautiful and brought back tons of memories from living there. The kids had a blast taking turns walking and being pulled by Daddy in the wagon. Brycen ran ahead of us and meet up with Gabe's girlfriend Erica and her family. Yes, I complained and complained and complained, but it didn't start until I hit mile marker 4.

First of all I HATE walking just for the fun of it, and secondly I have never walked for 6.2 miles or 3 hrs straight with no break but to use the restroom. I don't know how or why but my hip joints hurt so bad that I started crying. So for 2 miles I was in horrible pain. I didn't even care that I crossed the finish line, all I was thinking is I couldn't take another step and how the heck was I going to get to the car.. After resting in the grass for a bit, I attempted to make it back to the car, and eventually I did. It was just a horrible experience for me and I will NEVER do it again, but I am glad everyone enjoyed themselves... :)
