April Updates

Seems like the months are flying by and lots of blogging has been missed. Here is a run down of what the Webbs have been up to for the month of April.....

We had the end of soccer - first season without any rain outs!!!





Jackson had his egg drop for school in the rain.



Final result - it broke.


We celebrated Easter at my house with my family.



I chaperoned Jackson's Kindergarten class to the Fort Worth Zoo. The good news is that they only gave me two kids to watch with one of them being Jackson.



Their favorite part was touching the snakes. Which wasn't first on my list of things to do.



They may not have liked my approach to completing the zoo but we saw it all during our allotted time frame. Five minutes into the bus ride home, this is what my kiddos were doing. Quietest bus ride home ever!

Happy Easter

Saturday morning we drove to San Angelo to celebrate Easter with my parents. This is Jackson during the invitation at my parents' church.



Jenna's Easter style - notice the high heel wedge shoes - so grown-up



An Easter wouldn't be the same without family pictures facing the sun. Here are the cousins.



Here is an outtake of the cousin picture - my niece Reese was doing her "Single Ladies" impersonation.



Granddaddy and G Mommy with the granddaugthers. Jackson decided he was done with pictures.



The White family - this is the best we could do with this many participants



While we were at lunch the Easter Bunny hid all the eggs. Here is the start of the hunt. See a few adults in the mix?

Jenna found a little melted chocolate in her eggs

Egg Hunt

The weekend before Easter we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt with our church small group. This year's crowd was a little smaller because lot of our families were traveling.



The kids still had a good time despite the cool weather. Jackson was determined that he was going to return with the same twelve eggs he had when he arrived at the park. While the dads were hiding the eggs Jackson arranged his eggs in such a manner that he could find them.





Of course, he still managed to find one egg high in a tree that had money in it.



Jenna had a good hunt as well



The best part was sharing what goodies they received from the hunt with friends.

Easter 2009

 

On Good Friday we spent the day at the Dallas Arboretum. You can click on the above picture to look at closer.

Saturday we had soccer. Jenna's team played really hard against a modified team and showed so much improvement since the beginning of the season.

Sunday we went to the 8 am service and then headed to the Gaylord for Easter brunch. As you can see the kids got a little bit of food on them. Not the same as spending it with family, but all in all it was a nice Easter.

Gymnastics and Easter Eggs

This weekend was full of events. First thing Saturday morning we had an early soccer game. Normally it wouldn't be a big deal except that it was 30 degrees with a wind chill in the 20s. The girls braved through it and I even gave up my gloves for one of Jenna's teammates that didn't have one. It was the right thing to do but by the end of the game my hands were numb.

Later on Saturday we went to Reese's birthday party at Little Gym. The kids played on the equipment and we got to eat cake.



Sunday was our church small groups' annual Easter egg hunt. The weather was nice enough that some of the kids were able to wear shorts. They had fun finding eggs, playing at the park and having a sack race.

Happy Easter

After church we had Easter lunch with the cousins and all their kids. Here are the first cousins. If you saw the pictures of the four of us as kids you would know that it isn't an Easter picture without one of us messing with our tights. It seems it is a family trait that we passed onto our kids.



Since it rained about four inches Saturday night we were limited to a section of the backyard that didn't have any puddles. Here all seven of the second cousins had the egg hunt.

A Pretty Day with Granddaddy

Saturday was a beautiful day and it allowed the kids to ride their bikes. I grew up on a dead end street with minimal traffic. Jenna enjoyed being able to ride her bike all over the place without fear of a car popping up on you. As a special treat Granddaddy gave the kids a ride in his mini tractor. Maybe when they are a little older they can ride on the farm tractor like we did as kids.

Easter Egg # 2

We traveled to San Angelo to my parents for Easter. One of the churches has a huge community Easter Egg hunt. Only in an Air Force town would have eggs dropped from a helicopter before the egg hunt started. We were going to do this egg hunt last year but it was snowing so they rescheduled for a time when we weren't going to be in town. The kids had a good time and they shared the eggs with others.

Easter Egg Hunt

Today was our annual small group Easter egg hunt. We read the Easter story, found some eggs, had some sack races and ate birthday cake.
