Go Spurs!

As part of the rewards for good attendance at school, Wendi and Hailie got free tickets to a San Antonio Spurs game (with another paying ticket, of course, so "free" is a loose term). Brent braved the crowds and took not only Wendi and Hailie, but Benjamin as well!

Apparently Hailie and Wendi are born sports fans. Brent said this was a rare moment that they sat, so he hurried to snap the picture. Otherwise, we just have blurs!


Benjamin said it was "so loud!"


Ah, the benefits of living in a city.

(Underwater) Easter Fun!

About a week before Easter, there was a cute little activity at the Natatorium called the "Underwater Easter Egg Hunt". Sounds fun, no? So, for a dollar each, I signed up Wendi and Hailie. Only kids five and over could participate, so Benjamin will have to wait a couple of years. :o(

They were anxious to get started!



"The Haul" was waiting...


Strategizing...


And, theeeeey're off!

Did you notice that they're not actually UNDER the water? Yeah, this is the kiddie pool.

With the bunny afterwards.


No, there wasn't candy in the eggs. The kids just traded them in for goody baskets that were somewhat "questionable". Some of the candy looked like it had been opened, was a couple years old, etc. HOWEVER! There were commemorative Frisbees, so all was not lost. :o)

WAY too long!

(I'll try to most more regularly and not group them together so badly as I'm going to do over the next couple of days.)

The title, however, refers not to my lack of blogging, but how long it has been since we've seen some of our old friends. A month or so ago, one half of one of our very favorite couples we got to know in Florida was in town! Scott (minus Caitlin and little Rowan) was here in San Antonio for some training. Hooray!

While we were in Florida, there weren't any of the aunts or uncles around, and eventually Wendi and Hailie (since Benjamin couldn't talk yet) called them Uncle Scott and Aunt Caitlin. Thanks for visiting, Uncle Scott!

By the way, Ben is still saying, "What's his name?"
Me: Are you talking about Scott?
Ben: Yes, Scott. Where is him?
Me: At home with Caitlin and Rowan.
Ben: He can come to my house and play.
Me: I'm sure he will again sometime.
Ben: Today?
Me: No.
Ben: Caitlin can come today?
Me: No.
Ben. Okay. :o(





Also, not too long ago we saw another of our favorite Florida families (who are in Texas, too - just about two hours away), the Greene family!!!

We met in Austin (an hour for each of us), but we wanted to meet at the University of Texas and the campus was SO full of people, we decided to meet at a nearby park... not the neighborhood I'd buy a house in, but it was fun.

And after ALL the work it took to get together, can you believe I took NO pictures of my adorable pregnant friend Krishawn who is having twins?! Or, the eldest son, Jonathan? Neither can I!

Hailie talking to Joshua... who she still has a crush on...


Jeff holding Landon. Landon's such a handsome little dude! Even after he took a big bite of dust.


Good to see you guys!
