Pie in the face

Hello! Whew what a wild week it has been...I has been one thing or another going on. I hope we can slow down a little this weekend.

The Lockeny Elementary has been doing some fundraising for the up coming Relay for Life and they have started by letting the kids bring money to put into teachers jars and the teachers that have over 50.00 were going to get pies in the face. One morning Kalebh came to my classroom to let me know that he need 1,000.00 and needed that day....so we had to settle on a lot lower amount! Well Kalebh came up with some of his own money to add to the five dollars I gave him and put 10.00 in the music teachers jar. Anyway long story short the kid that brought the most money got to throw the pie and well...Kalebh won and got to throw the pie...me thinking he was too tender hearted for that wouldn't want to...wrong he was super excited....here are a few pictures to follow...in the end Kalebh got a pie too....we just love the music teacher and are really going to miss her...she is retiring this year....sad!

The pictures are in order backwards....my kind of day!!! So go from the bottom to top...sorry!







Hope you all have a great Friday!

Limo Ride, and Easter

Limo Ride -- Thanks to our family and friends buying cookie dough from Kalebh he won a ride with about 9 other kids on in a Limo to DQ for ice cream and to cruise around the great big city of Lockney!!! He had a blast...here are a few pictures...




Easter -- Easter was a blast! We had Good Friday off which was super nice. We baked cookies, fixed goodies for Saturday's get together and then a really good friend of ours came to town and we went and colored eggs...Lets see 3 women, and 7 kids...can you say crazy??? With a capital C? It was fun...Kaileigh loved coloring the eggs. Kalebh...well it was okay....Friday night we met my Mom and Dad in Plainview for dinner and then the kids spent the night there in Mimi and Popau's hotel...it was really nice because there was no one to mess up my house before everyone came over Saturday but Chad...Saturday we all met in Plainview for lunch and then came to our house for dessert, egg hunting and visiting. It was great to see the Clovis Crew...Granny is looking so good and the confetti egg fight was a blast. I hope to have some great pictures of this soon....all in all Easter was great. And I am so Thankful that we have a day to celebrate all the Jesus Christ did for us. He's Alive! There is a friend of my Dad's who sings that song every Easter and boy how I love to hear it every chance I get....His alive...His alive....His alive and I am forgiven heavens gates are open wide!






Kalebh is having a hard time understanding why he is the only one that has to go to school everyday and why Chad and I get to do different things each day...Poor kid...he has many more years of this I am afraid!

Kaileigh spent the day with me today because Charlie was having some test ran...anyway while we were grocery shopping she talked the produce man out of an apple and then told everyone we passed they couldn't have her apple....but we really had a nice mom and daughter day today...it was fun!

April holds many things so it is going to be wild. I am tying a rope and holding on...Chad's birthday, the boys are going on a RA trip, Dad is coming to preach here, midterms, TAKS testing, Sr. supper to sponsor and most of all....baseball season started! Hooray!!!

Love to all,
