Spring is finally here!

So glad to see things blooming again. I missed green and flowers and warm, breezy days!

He lives...

Hadley and I went to Lubbock today to watch the Varsity soccer team play a playoff game---they won 2-0! Go Sandies! I also used the opportunity to check up on Tyler. He's still not feeling great, but he is better. The clinic has him coming in every other day for a follow-up, which I think is great! He even gets to see the real doctor, not a student or nurse. They said he's looking better, but they are still not thrilled with his lung function. Hopefully that will improve by next week. He's still under strict orders to rest and I think he plans to do just that all weekend long.

We took him to lunch/dinner?at 4:00 and I made them pose for this picture outside his dorm--in the brown Lubbock wind. It was a nasty, windy, dirty day. In spite of it all, they actually look like they like each other... :)

Took this kiddo for a follow-up visit today. His lung function was improved and he had gained a whole pound. This was a multi-task visit. I texted back and forth with Tyler while he was in the clinic at tech. Turns out his news wasn't as good. Doc said he has post flu pneumonia. He left with strict orders for rest, two inhalers and an antibiotic. It's hard to be far apart when they're sick. :(

Took this pic wondering how many more times we will get to see this sweet sight. All three kids with us on a family trip.

Sharing one from yesterday

This shot was from pretty far away, so I had to crop in a bunch, but I liked her excellent form, so there ya go!

They played a terrific game yesterday, winning 4-0. Hadley was really strong in her position. Way to go, H! She had one chest trap that she then headed. It made the crowd ooooh and aaaahh! Then she had another header where she jumped up and over another girl to get the header. It was very cool...

Only one more game left for the JV girls. :(

No more baby teeth!

Wedding!

The happy couple!

Nathan and Brittany's wedding was just beautiful! Her colors were shades of brown and champagne---very elegant. I didn't take my good camera, so I used my cell phone and Tyler's camera to capture a few memories. When Tyler saw the two cakes, he said that Nathan definitely won in that contest. I tend to agree since I love chocolate cake and chocolate covered strawberries!

Hadley and Jamie looking lovely! Jamie was a bridesmaid.

Hadley and Grandma Nita.

Dick---ever popular with his phone even after he retired!, the groom Nathan, David, Gary, Trissa and Tyler.

Lance and the closest thing he's got to a boy cousin his age---Kyle. Kyle is Jamie and Nathan's half-brother. They are just a few months apart in age and both love Xbox. I'm sure you can imagine that conversation. :) Kyle was a groomsman.

Time to throw the bouquet! Hadley didn't want to go, but Jamie wasn't having any of that. She grabbed her hand and pulled her along for the fun. Hadley did NOT make an effort to catch it. Neither did Jamie. Ha!

They had a sparkler send-off.

And got to "get away" in this very cool Rolls Royce. Word has it that it belongs to that famous someone in my earlier post, although nobody I spoke with was certain. They are honeymooning in Jamaica this week. What a great start to the rest of their lives!

Our brush with fame at nathan and brittanys wedding!

Flip Flops!

I wore flip flops today for the first time in ages... I am thrilled! It's been a balmy 60-ish degrees with blue skies and a light breeze. Now that's what I'm talking about!

The wearing of the flip flops revealed two truths to me. One--Spring is coming afterall. (there has been some doubt with all the crazy snow we've had!) Two--I'm in dire need of a pedicure. Yay for pedicures! :) Happy Wednesday!
