Megan's team won another game tonight...5-1!!!  Megan almost scored from the top of the circle, unfortunately it hit the upright and bounced out...it was a perfect kick.  The girls sang happy birthday to her and Victoria.  Then it was home for cake and a shower!!

Megan is 11 today!!

I can hardly believe that my baby is 11 today!!!  Poor thing had to take the Science TAKS test today, so I couldn't have lunch with her.  But she said the test was easy and thinks she did good!  We will have to postpone the celebrations for a couple of days due to a soccer game tonight and a wedding reception tomorrow.  This is Megan at 2.5.  I don't have any of her baby pictures scanned in, yet!

You've seen her most recent soccer pics, I'll post more from tonight.  

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

Prom

Last night was prom night.  Lauren looked so beautiful!!!  I took her to see one of my hair/makeup ladies that I hire for my photo shoots at work.  Yvonne has done hollywood star's hair and makeup, so it was a treat for lauren.  Yvonne did an AMAZING job with he hair and makeup.  Lauren and Quinlan looked so cute.....he's not short, she has on 4" heels.  I'm sure she probably shed the shoes after she got there.

Another Victory!!!

Thursday night, Megan played another soccer game and it was a victory!!  Megan is an awesome defensive player (in my humble opinion!!)  She is like a gerbil on speed!!  Here are some pictures of her in action.

Easter Sunday, I was able to get a quicky photo session with my new nephew Tyler.  Here are a couple of the pictures.  He was only 4 days old in these pictures.  He's such a cutie!!

Caught him sneezing!

Easter Sunday

We made it through a storm-filled night!  After church, we headed to mom's for Easter lunch.  Matt came in, so the whole family was there!!!  After lunch, the little kids hunted eggs, mom made bags full of chocolate for the older kids.  We also celebrated Joe, Megan & Bobby's birthdays.  Joe's birthday was in March and Megan and Bobby share the 30th of April.   

Anthony is like a little gerbil on speed!!  He ran around and if he found an egg, he would take it, didn't care who it belonged to.

All of the grandkids........not sure about the look Alyssa is giving Catarina!

Catarina & Izzie playing the piano.

My little girl!!

Ok, so Friday when we went shopping for Easter clothes, I bought Megan size 8's!!!  This is two sizes smaller than me and the same size shoe grandma and Aunt Cara wears.  Before we did the birthdays, Aunt Cara and Megan disappeared.....then out comes Megan wearing Aunt Cara's heels!!!  She thought she was hot stuff!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday!  He is Risen!!!

Megan had a soccer game tonight.  We played on the HUGE field at the front of the park (the one with lights that we didn't need!!)  This field is the size for two age groups older.  Anyway, it was a tough game, but we won....scoring the only goal in the last two minutes of the game.  Megan played hard.  Some of the girls were having a hard time breathing because the air was full of smoke from the fires in West Texas.

The sun with all the stuff in the air!

Megan being tough

She ran through this girl!

A New Nephew!!!

Today my sister Lucretia had a baby boy, named Tyler.  He is now the reigning "Hefty" baby!  Matt held that record for an impressive 20 years!!  Tyler weighed 8 lb 13 oz.  (Mat was 8, 10).  He's a cutie!!  Got to hear him scream a bit and then he laughed and he sucks his thumb.  It is so-o-o-o cute.  He and Lucretia will go home on Friday.  We're going to mom's for Easter, I'm going to do some newborn portraits.  Should be fun and great!!!

Bell Performance

Below is the bell choir performance from Palm Sunday. Crown HIm with Many Crowns and In Christ Alone. Mike didn't get the memo to film the whole choir...he kept the camera near me....sorry.  Also, during In Christ Alone, Mike felt uncomfortable standing at the video camera while they passed out the Lord's Supper, so he started it and let it run.

Soccer = VICTORY!!!

Today Megan's team played the Duncanville Pumas.  We won 5-1.  Megan did not score any goals today, but she had a few assists and blocked the ball in our goal when our goalie fell down.  Megan is a middle-field player.  She is the first line of defense and she feeds the ball to our forwards.  She is also the best player to throw the ball in and take penalty kicks.  As you can see below, she is go getter!!!

April Fools!!!

Ok, so I went to work not planning on any practical jokes, but I just couldn't help myself!  My boss and a group of people were in a conference call, the person on the call said something and Kelly made a comment about that would save her tons of money in pantyhose.  My boss, Robert, said "Me too" under his breath--jokingly.  Well Kelly said "I didn't know you were a pantyhose kind of guy"  Everyone heard her say that, so we were laughing.  So, the call ends and Robert and group of guys go downstairs.  I run to the store, get some pantyhose and we put them on his monitor.  He came back and totally freaked out that they were on his monitor.  They ended up in my recycle bend. 

Today, Kelly and I were talking and laughing about this.  Robert was not in his office, so we put the pantyhose on his chair.  He walked in, sat down, got up and did some things--not noticing the pantyhose.  Got up and as he went to sit back down, saw them.  He squealed like a girl!  It was so funny.....I ran around the corner so he wouldn't see me laughing.  The pantyhose ended up in MY recycle bend again.

Kelly and I were laughing about it after Robert went to lunch.  So, we (me) put the pantyhose in his backpack and he'll find them after he gets home.  

We tried to get ahold of his wife, but she is out of town.  Can't wait to see if they are in my recycle bend tomorrow!!!

HEE-HEE-HEE-HEEEEEEE!!!
