Spring at the Arboretum With Friends

Ellie went to the Dallas Arboretum this weekend with some friends.  They had fun walking around, taking pictures of things and enjoying the beautiful outdoors.

Mom's Birthday

Today we celebrated Mom's birthday.  We had quiche and coffeecake for breakfast, and then went to church.  Then we had lunch with Butch and Mary Lou Cope.  Also, Amy came home again this weekend for the Dallas Acquire the Fire, so we got to see her again.

Easter Weekend

Amy came home on Thursday and was able to spend Easter with us.  On Friday we went to see The Blind Side, and had dinner at El Fenix, and went to a bookstore in Denton.  On Saturday, Ellie and Clara went with Amy to help a friend with her carwash.  On Sunday we made food, and went to church, and finished the food, and ate the food.

Amy is the hose master.

This is Lloyd the Turkey.  It's become a tradition now, to brine our turkeys in apple cider and to name them.
