we celebrated at Babe's in Roanoke...the best fried chicken and biscuits around! Yum'o!

We headed to a nearby park for cupcakes...
In one sense it just does not seem possible that you have been with us for 2 years, yet in another I feel like I've known your precious spirit for forever and a day. Happy Birthday Lovie!
You have been with me since the beginning. John 15:27

MAVS
Pregame:
We're off to watch the MAVS play tonight...and honor Collin Madison, an SCS student who Joey nominated as a MAVS/Apple Orthodontix Livewire...and he was chosen (YAY Collin!) and will be honored at tonight's game.
Postgame Report:
Collin got to meet several of the Mavs star players (Dirk, Kidd, Terry, Howard) and was a captain at mid court before tip-off. He even got to take part in their pregame huddle and give each of the starters high-fives as they were introduced onto the floor. He was the man of the hour and was so appreciative. We had a wonderful time and Case was an angel! How cool are some of these pics? He will never forget the moment, it was so neat to see him honored for being an awesome young man.

impromptu bluebonnet pics
Well, we did not set out to take pictures in the bluebonnets today, but we were struck by the beauty of a nicely slopped hill that was covered with Bluebonnets and dotted with a few Indian Paintbrush and Coreopsis. Of course, we did have the camera, but then again....we usually do. We decided the BBQ we were after could wait a few more minutes. Afterall, it was that special time of day that photographers love, there was a prime spot that every Texan would be proud of and we just happened to have a kiddo with us that we thought looked pretty cute...even if he wasn't dressed in his "bluebonnet outfit". Before you ask, yes, he does have an outfit that was purchased with this ritual in mind. I know, I know, I know...BUT, I recognize the fact that here in a few years he won't allow something as ridiculous as taking pictures in a patch of flowers to take place..."pictures in flowers? c'mon mom, how g**!" I can hear it now! So, YES while I still has a say HE has an outfit just for this silly thing that happens every spring in Texas! Here are our first bluebonnet pics!
On a side note, we don't make a habit of picking wildflowers, but the damage was done before we could stop it!

I cannot imagine a world without music!
I could give up tv, no problem! But, music? No way!
Check out this website! Our friends Shane & Erin told us about it several months ago...I can't believe we haven't mentioned it on the blog before now.
