Church Retreat

Our church retreat has always been the last weekend in April. It has now changed to the last weekend in March. Some years it can be really cold so we were very excited when the forecast showed hot days. The kids love it no matter what, but being in the water is a big part of Leakey fun!

Bocci Ball with the preacher!  Wes loves Mr. Roger!

Wes and Seth learned how to help in the kitchen this year!

Wes worked at least 2 nights hard cleaning and putting up dishes.
A lot of hard work goes into Leakey and I want him to always be willing to help out.
Todd helps with hauling all the trash in a trailer and Wes wants his job when he is 16.
We'll hope he still feels that way in a few years!

Thursday night is just for the "workcrew" and their families!

These guys love getting there early and playing late!


We love Leakey!

Spring Break

I think this is becoming a tradition at least for a little bit longer.

Todd is always swamped during spring break,

so Wes and I just do things around here w/o daddy.

We went bowling, to the movies, met up with friends

but literally every night but one we slept together in the living room!

Super fun, and easy!

The Tooth Fairy is Coming Again

Wes lost one of his top front teeth!

5th tooth lost so far

You thought it was extra special that you lost it on Jog-A-Fun day!

This and That

Wes had a great season.

He knew 4 of the boys on his team!

Go Celtics!

Jog-A-Fun

The fun before jogging

The fun after 23 laps...snowcones and no school work!

Rodeo Austin

We surprised Wes with tickets to bull riding and

BIG TIME RUSH!

He loves their show and music.

Our Winter Storm of 2011

This was us during the rolling blackout here in Texas and the freezing weather.

Knowing the freezing weather we were missing

just made the weather here in Hawaii feel even better!

The view from our balcony!

We saw many humpback whales right here which Wes LOVED!

Our sweet ride which was great for ALL the luggage we brought!

Our hotel lagoon

Some January Fun

This is Wes' second year to participate in Lego League! He loves it. This year's theme was biomedical engineering. One of the other moms in second grade actually does this for a living and was able to really help them understand how awesome this is. They made a demo of a device that could help make a jaw move.

Wes LOVES basketball. He has such a sweet team this year.
