A Journey Worth Remembering

Pinewood Derby

Checking out the final result of Jake's derby car. He wanted to put in a Lego Ninjago but he kept loosing them. So Kruncher the skeleton was left. They gave it a test run. I think it ran a bit crooked.

Checking in Jake's car while Spencer catchs up with a good friend & pack leader Brian

Thumbs up ready to race this car.

and waiting...

He raced several times and won a bunch of races.

Each boy got an award and Jake's was Most Creative. Way to go Jake for your 1st derby car!

Meet Jasper

We decided to take the plunge and get a puppy. Spencer was trying to decide between two Weimaraner puppies. One was all grey the other had a white spot on his chest.

Josh is sitting by our final decision. We named him Jasper.

We made a quick stop at the vet on our way home and there's a white persian cat there that reminds me so much of my Moss.

Our vet brought in a prarie dog to play with Josh and Jasper. Jasper wasn't so sure what it was...

The kids came home from school to a new member of our family.

Avery really was happy to have a puppy. She just doesn't like her picture taken.

Jake had his turn with loving our new puppy. Poor Jasper he was so skinny! Skin & bones.

He loves to lay on the dirty clothes.

After a week or two he's slowly putting on more weight.

Another week later and more weight being put on...

I LOVE this picture. He was sniffing my camera phone. So cute.

I love this picture of Josh and Jasper running together. Josh thought it was so funny that he'd run with him.

Easter

We started our Easter weekend with Easter baskets in the morning. Spencer was working.

We had cousins over for lunch and an egg hunt.

We let the three little men go first before the rest of the bigger kids.

They hunted.....

and hunted...

and enjoyed every piece of candy!

After all the candy the grand kids piled into Grandpa's truck and slowly they were off to the school park.

Spring Time Garden

So on my "Honey Do" List for Spencer was to move & expand our garden. It wasn't very successful last year so My Honey suggested to move it out a bit. He had helpers. Some "helpers" were busy blowing dandelions- she is cute though.

After a few weeks after planting the seeds. It's doing great!

Cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, zucchini, onions, herbs, peppers, & much more!

Green beans. Yummy!

Cucumber.

Strawberries.

We also planted two apple trees. We have a pear and two orange trees that are patiently waiting to be planted. I'd love to get a pecan tree as well. It's a matter of making room for the other trees.

More Helpers for My Honey. This time one of the "helpers" was thirsty. Love these kids.

Texas Wildflowers

We ventured out to check out the Texas Wildflowers and found masses of people taking pictures in the Bluebonnets. I'm serious when I write that!! There was one spot that was covered in beautiful Bluebonnets but to get in to take pictures it was $10! Give me a break! It was beautiful though!
