Family update!

First I want to say we had a wonderful Easter weekend! Crawfish 2 days in a row makes TJ and Julian very happy! Wish I had some pictures to share of our Easter weekend but we were too busy eating crawfish and visiting with family to even pull out the camera! Maybe next time!

Second, I have picked up several new hobbies since our last post. TJ bought me sewing/embroidery machine that I have been trying to figure out and I have also been going to Stampin up parties once a month. Little Crafty Girl.... Hummm that sounds good, maybe a 2nd blogg for me in the making?? You will have to wait and see....


Other than that TJ and I have been busy around the home front cleaning and trying to keep it up with our busy schedule. Julian is doing well in school, I’m ready for summer and TJ loves playing golf! Hope all is well! Love to all

Geocaching

We went Geocaching with our friends The Patton's today and it was a wonderful day! We looked for 7 cache's or as I call them treasures and found 6. Not to bad for a days work. If you don't know what Geocaching is, it is a fun game of hide and seek. People hide little boxes, film canisters, etc. and give you the coordinates you then plug them in to a GPS system and it takes you to the spot or right around the spot. Some have hints on how to find them others don't but it is still fun. If you have not tried it you have to. Sometimes the container is big enough to leave little trinkets in and when you leave a trinket you can take one, others are just big enough for a piece of paper where people leave there name and where they are from. If you want to try it out TJ and I will even lend you our GPS system so you can find a couple and see how you like it.
Go to www.geocaching.com and type in your zip code and look to see if you have any around you. They are all over the world. Next time we go out of town I want to pull up some and look for them while we are there.

Boy Meets Gravel......

TJ and Julian went to the driving range on Saturday and when they came back home Julian looked like this!






The first story I got was that Julian had gotten into a fight with a kid that hit him on the head with a golf club. Julian had said he won the fight by punching the kid in the stomach (not like Julian at all). My first question was "how old was the kid", Julian said "I don't know", so I questioned even more. "Was he older? Younger?" and Julian said "younger", I was just about to get on to him and then the real story came out! Leave it up to TJ to concoct a story like that....

The "Real" story....
Julian was in the back of TJ's truck waiting for TJ to get finished saying good-bye to his friend. When he was done he asked Julian to get out of the back of the truck so they could leave. When Julian got out he leaped out instead of just stepping over and slipped off the back bumper and went face first into the gravel. We are lucky nothing was broken, just a little scratched up.
