Happy Anniversary

Yesterday we celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. Last year we went to Puerta Vallarta to celebrate, so this time we kept it pretty low key. We got a babysitter and went out to Outback Steakhouse and then to see a movie. We also pulled out our wedding video, which we hadn't seen in forever. It sure brought back good memories. It seems like the years have flown by so fast, but at the same time, life before we were married or before the boys seems so long ago. It has sure been six good years!

Hooks Baseball

We have recently been to a couple of Hooks baseball games and even got to sit in a suite with some friends. The boys just love going and even watch most of the game. The best part of the game for McKay is visiting with Rusty the Hook or Sammy the Seagull. Carter loves the players and got his favorite player Johnny Ash to even sign his baseball cap. Carter was also able to run in the Hooks birthday run with Sammy the Seagull on his actual birthday. That night there was a double header and we went during the second game to prepare for the birthday run out on the baseball field only to find out that they had cancelled it. I think when they saw the look of disappointment in Carter's eyes and found out it was his actual birthday they decided to hold the run before the seventh inning and rounded up a couple more kids to do the run. They let Carter be in the front with Sammy the whole time. As Carter was running across the field there was a look of pure joy on his face. Below is the after picture with him and Sammy.

Carter's Birthday Party

Carter recently celebrated his 4th birthday. In fact, he had three celebrations! He was able to celebrate with the Moreton's at Chuck E. Cheese, we had our own family party followed by a Hooks game, and then he had a birthday party with his little friends. The friend party was a riot and the kids had a blast eating hot dogs and hitting the pinata. It was a fun party, but now we all need time to recuperate. Thanks Uncle Bryce for all your help in keeping the kids happy too!

Easter Sunday

We had a very nice Easter. Carter and McKay found some surprises in their Easter baskets from the bunny and enjoyed going on a little Easter candy hunt. McKay was ready to eat his candy as soon as he found it. It was nice to celebrate with family too. We had an enjoyable ham dinner and ended the night with a fun game of Ticket to Ride Expansion.

Vacation with the Moretons

My family was here in town for a visit this past week. We had a blast. To hit the highlights, we spent a night at the timeshare in New Braunfels (and even got the presidential suite!!!), went to Sea World the next day, and had Rudy's BBQ two nights in a row. Can you say creamed corn and brisket!! We also spent Easter together and celebrated my mom's birthday along with Carter's too. The only bummer was that here in Corpus it was sooo cold and rainy. It even got down into the 30's which is unheard of here in April. I guess we'll have to save the beach for next time.
