What happened to March?

The birds began to show signs of nest building and 'courting' which indicated to me that spring would soon arrive.
BeBe and Beau are still in the 'learning' stage of puppyhood. They enjoy gator rides, but don't have very good passenger manners. If I want to ride, they are very difficult to evict from my seat! They even like to sit in the driver's seat when it isn't in motion,
and refuse to move so we can drive!

A trip to Bandera was eventful... We got to see Hunter play ball. He pitched and played 3rd base. He was a hitter, too!
So it was an all around good evening!

Strike two!


Doug is 14! (doesn't seem like a year since I posted that he was 13)
Doug made the trek to Bandera with us, so while we were there we got to celebrate his 14th birthday! Caitlin baked chocolate cupcakes and decorated them with sprinkles. One was designated the "Birthday Cupcake" and had 14 candles inserted and lit. Next it was time to sing happy birthday and blow out the candles.

After the birthday celebration, we gathered up and went to Caitlin's softball game in San Antonio. We were proud of her improved pitching. She did a good job, and in the family tradition of the day, was also a hitter. She did a good job of fielding the ball as well. She caught a popped up fly ball, and threw to first for an out another time. We're going to have to go out later in the spring to see them play again!

March Madness...

I have never had snow on my birthday before but...
I have a March birthday, and plans were made
for Wayne to barbeque for me.
What a shock we had when we heard that it was suppose to SNOW.
Wayne pronounced that he was going to barbeque---
snow or no snow!
Well, it did snow! And he did barbeque... it was delicious!

We have been gearing up for
The Easter Sunrise Worship Service
which will be held in our yard.
Hopefully the sunrise will look like this.
We're hoping it doesn't rain,
we don't even want clouds!

A very special treat was enjoyed when Donna and Janie came
and visited with us one March afternoon.
And now March has marched on...
We're just waiting for April.
