Easter Weekend: Family and Friends

This weekend, everyone is celebrating Easter! I love how people have all types of traditions and activities that consume their day. After church, we had a church-wide Easter Egg hunt. There were over 700 eggs for the kids to hunt. It was so fun watching them run around, scrambling to grab as many eggs as possible.

When I asked Makailyn how many she found, she looked into her basket and said, "Umm...I think a million."Jimmy and I after church

One thing I have always loved about my family is that even family-oriented holidays are never limited to just our family. We always have friends celebrating with us.

Jimmy and I have some great friends here, Kelly and Jay. Their two oldest daughters, Saibree and Makailyn were our flower girls in the wedding and we recently became the God-parents of their youngest, Kylie. Just over a month ago, Kelly's mom moved back to California, where the rest of their family lives. So, of course, their family spent the day with us. It was fabulous!

Before our Easter lunch, we went to take pictures in the bluebonnets! This is something I look forward to every year. I love the blue bonnets and the beautiful flowers (weeds) that grow at the same time.

Isn't this the best bluebonnet picture you have seen? (I took it!)

SUMMER VACATION - 81 DAYS AWAY!!

This summer, we are all going to the Mayan Riviera! When I say all of us, I mean mom, dad, Kasey, Jimmy,the Geislers and myself. Last year, on our honeymoon cruise, we went to Cozumel and took a ferry over to Playa del Carmen. It was so beautiful,we knew we had to go back.

This vacation, we will spend the entire week at the Grand Princess Riviera. It is a brand new, all inclusive resort. Since it just opened in December, we got an awesome deal. Here is a picture of part of the resort and one of the pools:

It is the perfect vacation for all of us because.....

Dad and Jimmy will be able to visit the Mayan Ruins.The girls will be able to go shopping in Cozumel!
Dad, Kasey, David, Vicky and Jimmy will be able to Scuba Dive!
We will go to Carlos'n'Charlies and have too much fun!

Plus, we can all use a little relaxation on the gorgeous beaches!

RODEO TIME!

Waiting for Brad! (No, I didn't get my hair cut)


After the concert!

We started off our spring break at the Houston Rodeo! The six of us (mom, dad, Kasey, Brett, Jimmy and I) went into Houston on the hottest afternoon this year. It was the perfect weather for a day outside. Jimmy and Brett spent (wasted) too much money on the rides, but they had a great time. The highlight for me was not spending $3.75 on a bottle of Dasani water, but watching Brad Paisley! He was awesome! It was a long, exhausting, hot day, but such a great time!

The Houston Rockets!

Jimmy and I got the chance to go to the Houston Rockets game a few weeks ago! We saw the 13th game, of their famous 22 game winning streak! Neither of us had ever been to a Rockets game so, it was a blast! (Yes, our seats were very high, but it was a ton of fun!)
