SUNDAY

Hayden had his first football game for the season today and won. Hayden says he is the best quarterback ever.....does he even play quaterback? Morty and I are so proud of him.

Diney andI spent most of the day shopping and running the normal errands.

The Crears came over and enjoyed some of my homemade Mexican chicken and rice. Rodney said no matter what Morty says......THAT I CAN COOK. Yeah, I got one person on my side. I even think Tobie liked it.......or maybe he didn't since he sneezed it out his nose. Gotta love it.

LAZY SATURDAY

Finally some sleep today. It was so nice to just lay around til 1pm. What a lazy day. Morty took Hayden to buy shoes and get Diney some new cleats.

Diney had a great lacrosse game at the University of Dallas. They played Ursuline and they really hustled today.


She is so excited as her UIL 1-Act play cast won district with their 1 act play. They will be going to Waco to compete for area. Keep up the good work, Daddy and I are very proud of you.

EASTER

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Seeing all he kids together this Easter was fantastic. With all the new additions this year we had our hands full. Becky and Joshua were able to join us. Watching the kids go crazy looking for eggs makes you laugh and realize how much joy they bring to our life. All the men become children as they try to hide the eggs extra good for the big kids.

VISITING GRANDPA

As soon as we heard that our grandpa Llanes was not doing so well, my stomache turned. In my lifetime only one close relative has passed, my grandma. These are the only people in my life that I have always looked up to. I am glad that my both my kids were able to get to know grandpa and build a relationship with him. Seeing him sick this time around was the hardest thing ever. My aunt Lydia is doing a superb job at caring for him. Her strength and dedication are qualities I can only wish to aquire. I hope Lydia knows that the Hobgoods love her and think of her as a 2nd mom.

Grandpa, we all love you!

Morty and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. Through ups and downs we have made it! I could not imagine my life without Morty.
