Spring time!!

Easter was great this year! Clay came home for the weekend and we all got to spend some time together as a family.

Here Wade is all ready to go hunt some eggs. (too bad it was raining)


Clay and Wade all ready for church Easter Sunday!!


Wade and I took a small road trip out to Chapel Hill with some of our friends to get some bluebonnet pictures.

Clay is HOME!!!!!

Clay is finally home!!! We are soooo excited. Wade LOVES his daddy so much. It is so awesome to see them together. I am so glad to have him back. Clay was offshore installing a new rig out in the Gulf of Mexico for a month and a half, and before that he was in Corpus Christi for about 4 months getting the rig ready to sail. He has been home for a week now and we are all still adjusting to each other again. We are just glad to have everything back to normal. I have already put him to work here. Hanging things on the walls, mowing the lawn, painting the kitchen.

Here are a few pictures of Clay hard at work out there in the deep blue sea.

Here he is on the deck of the ship working with the riggers. (actually doing some manual labor)

Here he is on the bridge overseeing many operations. This is where he said he spent most of his time.

On the deck of the ship with the rig (Thunderhawk) behind him.

This is the ship he was on for the month and a half he was out there.

And this is Thunderhawk!!! INSTALLED!!! YAY! Clay has literally been working on this project since before Wade as born. Now onto the next one.

Fun Photos

Not too much to say in this post. Just a few pictures of my little guy. I know every parent says it but it is just so hard to believe how fast kids grow up. Thank God for pictures because I can hardly remember this little boy as a baby.

Look how big this little guy is getting.

He loves puzzles! Here he is just after putting this one back together.

All smiles.

I think this might be Wade's 5th haircut. He did so good. (still a little timid though)

The Trains at Zube Park!!!

Our playgroup got together this past Saturday at this super fun place to ride the trains. Wade loved it! We had so much fun and can't wait to take daddy when he gets back.

Here is Wade in line waiting to get on the train. It gets really crowed there!

Still waiting!

Look at these little trains....too cute!

Wade holding on as we ride around in the "forest".


Here we are pulling up to the train station.

Here are some of the things we saw along the way.

Fun times in Mansfield

Wade and I had to take a trip up to Mansfield to help out my sister while my mom was out of town. We had to keep ourselves busy up there too.

We went to Chuck E Cheese with my sister and her 3 kiddos on rainy day up there. Here are my two older nieces, Avery and Rylee.

On the way to Chuck E Cheese Avery and Wade got to watch Veggie Tails in aunt Chelle's car.

Fun times at Chuck E Cheese!!!

We also went and spent a little time with Clay's dad, Becky, and Melissa. We didn't get to stay long, but it was still good to see them. Here is Wade with his Poppa.

Wade LOVES to hang out on Memaw's deck. He found some of Avery's mud boots and would not take them off. He loved them.

Rodeo Day at school

When the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo comes to town, everyone gets into the rodeo spirit. Wade's school arranged for two longhorns and a "real" cowgirl to come out for all the kids to see. This is funny that they said "real" cowgirl because Wade's Memaw (my mom) is a "real" cowgirl. She has been riding barrels, training, and taking care of horses for over 20 years now.

Anyway, Wade did get a big kick out of seeing those huge longhorns.

March Madness!!!!

The month of March has been nuts!!! Wade and I are doing the best we can to keep ourselves busy. We have lunch with our friends, visit family, and go to fun places to pass the time. Here are a few pictures of how we have been spending our time so far.

Clay made it home for a few days and spent the best quality time with us he could. Wade even took a nap with his daddy in Clay's favorite napping place. It was so cute! Wade hasn't done this since he was a baby. I think he knew daddy needed it.

Here is my handsome man on our way to lunch with the ladies.

One morning I walk into the kitchen to find Wade climbing on his high chair, which is a big "No No!!", but I just had to take a picture before I made him "Get Down!"

On our trip up to Mansfield we got to have lunch with one of my best friends, Laura. She is always taking pictures, so we can remember our fun times together.

And some not so fun times.....Wade tends to stand up on the couch, which is also a BIG no no, and just as I was telling Wade to sit down, he took a huge fall and hit his head right on the edge of the coffee table. "That is exactly why I tell you to SIT DOWN!!!"
