Crimson Caravan comes to Cowboy Stadium!

The first stop of the Crimson Caravan tour this year was Cowboy Stadium! North Texas has more Alabama Alumni than any other area outside of Alabama. ROLL TIDE! There were about 500 fans there. We ate dinner, mingled with other fans, and got to hear Coach Saban and Eli Gold (the voice of Bama football) speak!! It was so much fun! The most exciting moment for me was getting a hug and picture made with Coach Saban! Talk about being in the right place at the right time! He had just finished eating and exited the stage where I was standing. I didn't think he would say yes to having his picture made with me!!! Can't wait until football season this year!!!

TAX BABY

Our sweet baby Isla Olivas turned one on April 15! We celebrated with mexican food and cake at the Olivas house. She LOVED her Winnie the Pooh Cake! Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest girls we know!

2010 FBCC SPRING RETREAT FOR WOMEN

I don't brag on myself very often, but now seems like a good time to do it! This weekend was our annual Women's Spring Retreat at FBC and I was the lead organizer this year! Our theme was "Step by Step, Growing in Our Walk with God". What an awesome weekend! We stayed at the Omni Hotel. Our speaker was one of the best I have ever heard! Her name is Debbie Stuart. She is the Women's Ministry Leader at Prestonwood Church. Talk about life changing moments...we had them this weekend! I was fortunate enough to work with some super inspiring and Godly women...Courtney, Rosemond, Cindi and Lynee who helped me pull off an awesome retreat! Our mission activity was decorating "girly" flip flops to be taken to the Amazon and given to women there, we had wonderful food, awesome fellowship time and a super fabulous speaker!! My only regret is that it didn't last longer!

 

 

PUZZLES!!

Jessie loves puzzles as much as I do. So, we spent no less than 4 hours putting these together (they were all 100 piece puzzles). Most are of animals, the last one a picture of my kids with their cousins, Natalie and CJ taken last year. So, I guess they were ALL pictures of animals!!!

EASTER SUNDAY! What a wonderful day!

What an incredible day! The kids woke up early and ready to find the eggs that were hidden (after midnight) in the back yard!!! We convinced them to shower and get dressed for church first. They ooooohed and aaawwwwed at the Easter basket goodies, then cleaned them out and headed outside! We went church, as usual, and then headed over to a friend's house for another egg hunt and lunch! I was exhausted after the events of the day. We came home and watched 3 "Jim Carey" movies on TV...all curled up on the couch in blankets...love it!

 

Money!!! I don't remember the Easter Bunny leaving money in the eggs when I was a kid!!

 

Seriously? My kids are cute!!  

After several tries, we all smiled! 

All the kids! Ryan, Claire, Morgan, Mary Katherine, Rachel, Grayson, Jessie, Delaney and Charlotte

Our April Fool...

Kendall turned 37 on Thursday. Wowza! I remember when I thought that was old!!! Thursday night we celebrated in typicall "Huff" style...wings at Buffalo's! However, our friends, Joe and Leslie had a different celebration in mind. They know Kendall's love for all things beef, lobster and chocolate, so they threw a dinner party in his honor! On the menu, lobster bisque, lobster stuffed tenderloin and chocolate molten cake!!! Really?? It was like dining in a 5 star restaurant!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALL!

Kiki, Kendall, Dave and Joe

Carson's Easter Egg Hunt

Jessie's sweet friend, Carson, invited her to an egg hunt at his grandmother's house today. Some eggs were pretty obvious, some were just pretty funny!!! They had a great time finding their treats. Jessie was incredibly excited to find quarters in some of her eggs when she opened them up!!

The Last Game of the Season...

The soccer season flew by! And just as predicted, Jessie was very assertive and a great player. Kendall was much better at attending her games than I was, but she did not disappoint when I was there! She scored 4 goals in her last game!!! Not too shabby for a first timer! I promised her a kart-wheel for every goal she scored this game, so you can imagine my humility when I was one the field after the game with all the parents watching me!! She loved getting her medal and was so proud at the celebration afterward! Kendall is already looking in to sign up for the next season!!

Bright Beginnings Easter Egg Hunt

Jessie's school, Bright Beginnings, held their Easter Egg hunt on Thursday. They played at a local park, had a picnic lunch and then went on the egg finding adventure! It was a beautiful day. The kids had a blast and I got to hang out with some pretty cool moms!
