{One & Two}

How can it be that we are already through the first week of April?!?!?! I truly planned on sharing a thing or two but apparently time is not on my side these days!!

In case you didn’t know, we have had some very special visitors in our home the past couple of weeks. The kids have been so excited to have some extra special one on one time with Grampy, Grammy, and Granddad. Our last visit with Grampy and Grammy was over Christmas and that was “like 4-ever ago”. Our last visit with granddad was almost two years ago so, you can only imagine how long ago that was. 

I don’t know if this is a saying but it should be

A house full of grandparents makes for three extremely happy children which in turn makes for two very content parents!

I will apologize in advance because I do have a few things to share. I will do my best to not overwhelm but I can’t make any promises....

First

Girl Scout season is slowly coming to an end. The girls did absolutely fabulous with cookie sales this year. THANK YOU!!! TAHNK YOU!!! Thank you again to everyone who helped to support our troop. They all worked really hard at meeting their goals and I think I can share that they were ALL successful!!!

We still have a few more things planned before we finish our year up. After all, a Girl Scouts work is never truly done. There are a lot of things that these girls try to do in order to make the world a better place. Before the end of the year, the girls decided that they wanted to make a special contribution towards St. Judes and they also wanted to do something special for our firefighters. Our St. Judes project is still in the works but, we were able to put together a special surprise for one of the fire departments in Bossier City. The troop worked hard to put together a basket full of yummy goodies for the fire fighters. As a special reward, we got a personal tour around the station.

As you can see from some of the pictures, we were in the midst of some really bad weather during our tour. Our tour was the same day that all of those tornados hit the Dallas area. The weather left there and headed straight towards our area. Needless to say, I wasn’t complaining when the girls posed for their last picture!!!!

Second

Our Spring Break was last week so while most were sleeping in this week, we got up every morning and headed out the door in order to catch the bus. But, we aren’t complaining too much because we still get a small break for Easter and Travin got to take part in an “egg”citing event at school. On Thursday, the whole first grade class got to participate in a special Easter egg hunt.

I’m not sure if the grass was supposed to be as high as it was or not but I will say that it provided great conditions for the egg hunt.

The only thing that would have made our day with Trav more perfect is being able to share it with Grampy, Grammy, and Granddad. Unfortunately, I had a lesson to teach in front of the camera so Jason and I spent some extra time at Stockwell. The good news, we will be able to share an egg hunt with them and with our favorite family from Texas over the weekend!!!!
