Spring Trips

 

Macey went to San Antonio for Band spring trip. 
They went to Fiesta Texas (Six Flags).
Schlitterbahn (water park).
They performed at a pavilion in front of the Alamo!
That same weekend, Jo and I went to OKC.
We ate and ate and ate.

Got soggy in the downpour.

Toured around.

And gambled on the way home!

I went to Utah (and even Idaho!) to visit Julianne and Kristina. I ate a raspberry shake at Bear Lake. 
And put my FEET into the 37 deg water!

Our partial plunge!

We mostly stayed indoors doing nothing!
We drove the ATV in 27 deg weather!


Julianne and I went to BYU and the creamery!


Alex's final meal before his trip back to Idaho (and his girlfriend and his friends and school; he was happy to ditch our family life!)
Macey, Dan and I went to Tucson to celebrate Bob and June's 50th anniversary! No group photo, but here the men folk are setting up Grandpa's new TV.
I got to go to Costco the Friday before Easter AND the Monday after. Definitely do NOT need a Costco card. That place is crazy!
Me making a flight to Tucson.
Me missing the flight to Tucson. Sigh. Lessons have been learned!

Spring

 

Sarah McBride and Tracy Glasgow work with me in the uniform room. We got a nice picture of us at band banquet rather than all sweating and working hard in the band hall!
Grandpa was excited to take Ceci to the hockey rink to watch Macey play.
I'll have to publish the videos of the goals she made at this game. She played on an all girls team for the spring season. She says she wished she had played co-ed with her regular team mates, but I think it was a good opportunity for her to step up and be a leader!
The girls pre-game at a different game.
I hosted an Easter Brunch. I love doing this! But I think next year I'll have it on Friday again. We had a much smaller turn out than usual. 

This was the decor I used and handed out the fans.
Alex and I went to see MCO's Messiah in America. Alex, 'oh, this is a musical?' Uh yeah, a Book of Mormon Easter musical. It was cool to see, but usually leave humming a song or two and this time it was more edifying, but not as catchy.
Ceci loves lift the flap books. When you finish one, she says 'more' so you'll read it again!
Macey playing at UIL.
A girl and her lizard. 
Watching AZ and Arkansas during march madness!
Apple blossom embroidery project that I worked on while on my spring trips.
A turkey vulture getting a drink at the pond near City Hall.
It is a delight to watch sun in the morning as it keeps shifting north to south on my commute. It is almost back to where I began a year ago!
My fruit salsa won a prize at the Planning/Engineering Dip Off!
Wrapping up Bebe for nap time.

Another flight victory, flying solo I think. Hooray!
