Easter in Round Rock

Easter was much different this year without Daddy/Papa there, but we could still feel him all around us.  There were times I had to catch myself from breaking down, but I need to remember he will always be watching all the craziness and now he doesn't have to turn off his hearing aides from the noise!  Ha!  We started the weekend craziness (I mean fun) with bluebonnet pictures.  The boys went to football practice for an upcoming game they have and Mendy and I attempted to tackle 4 kids in bluebonnets on Saturday.  Well, the best is below, no judging.  We then moved on throughout the weekend to dying of eggs, painting bird houses, movie nights, Starbucks, etc.  Nana laughed at the craziness, but joined in!  On Easter Sunday, we had a house full of family and friends: our 9, Nana/Papa Blevins, Chase/Mary, Cousin Danny, Cousin Holly and her 2 friends, and neighbors Frank/Kathy.  We laughed as the kids hunted eggs in the back yard and enjoyed a Brisket lunch.  It was such a great time to all be together and celebrate LIFE.  Thank you to God for all the memories, fun, and what you did for us through Jesus.  He is risen indeed!  Happy Easter!

 

Cade Loses His 1st Tooth!

Cade has been excited for the past few weeks as he realized he had a lose tooth.  He would wiggle it every now and then just to make sure it was still lose. Eventually it got to the point one night where when he would take a bite of dinner it would hurt and we knew that any day the tooth would be coming out.  Sure enough that day came while at Gamee's house. All it took was Gamee wrapping a loop of dental floss around the base of the tooth and a little tug.  Cade was so excited and ready for the tooth fairy to come so that he could get some money.  It took him quite awhile to finally fall asleep. However, like the good fairy does, she promptly came leaving a trail of fairy dust behind her, took the tooth, and left the money behind. Unfortunately for the tooth fairy since she wasn't quite expecting the tooth to come out when it did she did not have any change on her and was forced to leave behind a crisp $20 bill.  Needless to say everyone in the family was ready to pull their own teeth out!  Don't worry, we have clarified now that every tooth after is only $1...

Sunday school Easter party

Our Sunday school class, Strength and Unity, at CFBC had our annual Easter Celebration at the Harroff's.  We grilled out hamburger and hotdogs, colored eggs, kids played, and of course a really fun hunt.  Nana was able to join us and we had a blast spoiling her.  Thanks to the Harroff's for hosting about 80 people and all the good times!
