This weekend was a sprint. We had two soccer games, a Cub Scout graduation camp out, one Praise Kids choir rehearsal, and one Praise Kids Concert. All of that was Trey. I have no clue what Crisana did this weekend, or even knew that she was alive. I ended up helping [...]

Short & sweet.
Last night Trey informed me how caramel is made.  (He had the remnants of it around his mouth at bath time.)
You just mix ketchup and mustard together to make caramel.  Maybe not so great with apples, but sounds really good on a hot dog.

Literally.
We had our first *real* brush with supercell thunderstorms last night.  Unconfirmed reports stated that several “rope” twisters touched down in Ft. Worth last evening, and confirmed news reports documented straight-line winds in our area with gusts of 70-80 mph.  For the first time in years, I witnessed the power and ferocity of severe weather, [...]

Yes, it’s true.  Both of our children are…
say it with me in your best SNL pose…
SUPERSTAR(S)!
It all began with Trey’s soccer game this morning.  Another windy Saturday morning, but this time about 30 degrees warmer than last.  We were wearing shorts and flip flops for crying out loud.  THAT’S more like it.  Sunny, breezy, a [...]

you mix 43 degree temperatures and a 30 mile an hour wind? A soccer game of course! Trey had his first soccer game today. Let’s just say it was a little chilly. In fact, it was so chilly that the people, who set up the fields, slept in and made all [...]

Just like the ones I used to know…
Wait a minute!  White EASTER?  Are you kidding me?  It’s April, and this is Texas, for crying out loud.  And not the panhandle, either.  This is North Central Texas - you know, the land of mild winters and blazing hot summers.  Yet we’ll all be wearing white shoes [...]

Something that is pink!
and green!
and yellow!
and spotted!
and blue and purple and orange and fuschia and speckled and marbleized and…!
Well, that’s pretty much how our yard looked this weekend.  As Matt said, we held our annual Sloan Creek Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday.  I really felt like God blessed the whole day, from start to finish:
1)  [...]

The tradition continues….the Speer sponsored, Sloan Creek Easter Egg Hunt.  We had the hunt yesterday so it would not conflict with anyone else’s Easter plans….it worked.  We had 20 or so families drop by for the Hunt, many of them are Aggies too.  We have such good neighbors!  They all brought their kiddos and we [...]

We are finally starting to improve the exterior of the house, well, mainly the yard. We have a big yard, a really big yard, a really big, empty yard. Not any more! Over the last two Saturdays, RC has helped me build a play set / play fort / swing set for the yard. We [...]

Well, the Upward season has come to a close. We started practices in December, ran an eight week season, and had the finale last night. We started really preparing for Upwards last July, so it is about an eight month adventure. I do not know how well the season went, but I [...]
