Tax season is over

We took the kids to Top Golf on Tuesday to celebrate the end of tax season. It will be nice to have Randy back for awhile. We sure do appreciate all of his hard work for us. We love you!

Talan's first cavities

When we went for Talan's 6 month checkup, the dentist told us we had 2 cavities. I was so disappointed. I had let Talan start brushing his own teeth some and I guess it was a little too soon. So, we set up our appointment to have them filled.
We got to the office at 11. They gave Talan his oral sedation medication and let him lay down for a bit to let it set in. They came to get him and take him back. I guess I didn't realize I wasn't going to go back with him. That was a bit emotional. After about an hour, they came to get me to go back and see him. He was still so drugged I had to laugh. He got a juice box and a push pop. He ended up dripping some on me because his left side was numb.
When we got home he slept for almost 5 hours. Hopefully we can do a better job brushing teeth going forward and not have to go through that again.

Blitz winter II

These boys continue to improve and play so well together. We are so blessed to have each of them on our team. We could not have asked for better boys and most of all great and supportive parents. They really hold a special place in mine and Randy's heart. I hope they play together for a long time.

Opening weekend

We went to the Rangers game on Sunday, April 7 against the Angels. We knew it would be a good series because Josh Hamilton signed there and there was a lot of animosity amongst the Texas fans. Yu Darvish was pitching against Jared Weaver so we expected a pitcher's duel. Instead we scored plenty of runs and saw lots of fireworks in the win. Troy and I went to the shop to look around and he bought Talan a really awesome new jacket. We had a good time in some great seats. Here's hoping to a world series win in baseball town!

Nelson Cruz

Talan's favorite player on the Texas Rangers is Nelson Cruz. For his birthday, Debbie, Paul, David and Melinda got him a fathead for his big boy room. It looks amazing and he loves it!

Soccer championship

We won our soccer coed championship game on Friday night in a shootout. It was an intense game and our team played great, especially after having already played a game earlier. Good job Blitz.

Cousin time

We went to David and Melinda's on Tuesday to spend some time with Morgan and Bailey while they were in town. The kids wanted to fly kites. The wind was perfect, until it picked up. Talan let go of his kite and it ended up in a tree and crossing the power line. He just knew that Poppa could get it back and he did. Bailey's kite ended up in another tree. Melinda worked to get it out, but the tail didn't make it. We went to lunch afterwards. Then went to the mesquite animal shelter. Morgan and Bailey were looking to adopt a new puppy. They found a really cute Shepard mix that they are going to name Izzy. We had a great afternoon.

Happy Easter

We started the morning doing our Easter egg hunt at home and seeing what the bunny left everyone.  We headed to Mom and Dad's to spend the evening there. Talan and Kendall did an easter egg hunt. Kendall got some new jammies and Talan got a new swim top and trunks. We had a yummy filet and baked potato dinner. We sure did miss seeing Billy, Joanna and Parker.
