Texas here we come!
I got my moms plane ticket yesterday and she will be here in 2 weeks. She arrives on a Thursday and we are driving out on that following Sunday. It's going to be a quick trip for mom and probably tiring too. We are so thankful that she is able to come up here and drive back with me and the kids.
I'm excited about this move and really sad at the same time. I love the fact that I am going to be close to my family and get to spend the summer there. It has been along time since we have lived there so I feel like the kids will get to know their family finally. I know the boys are going to have a blast playing outside and swimming everyday. Milee...well yeah she will just get really spoiled I'm sure!
I am sad because this also means saying "goodbye for now" to my husband...for the 3rd time. I do have a calm feeling though knowing this will be his very last trip to Iraq. That is whats going to get me through this. I know it is going to be really hard on the boys, especially Rylan. He's such a daddy's boy!
So, I'm off to pack our stuff up. move some to storage. put the stuff thats going to Texas to the side. make appointments that need to be attended to before leaving. cancel all of our housing utilities etc. change our address. ok, you get the point. I'm going to be busy for a while :)

Easter Time!!!
Easter is this Sunday.
I just love this time of the year. It always brings warm weather, good memories, time to spend with family, but mostly it's about Easter and what it really means. How Jesus died for our sins and rose again on this beautiful day.
I remember loving this time as a child too. When I was little, mom would buy my sister and I lavish Easter dresses to wear to church that Easter Sunday. We would get up that morning to find what the Easter bunny had brought us and then get ready for the Sunday service. Mom always had to take our picture in the front yard before leaving for church. After the service we would rush home to prepare for the day. Good food, lots of family, and of course an Easter egg hunt! Every year, the older teenagers would walk us young ones down the street so the adults could hide the eggs. I can remember it like yesterday, but I can also remember very well the time when I was the "older' one walking the kids down the street. Now, well I'm the one who hides the eggs for my kids.
This year we will be spending Easter Sunday in Washington with Tony's family. This will be the first year we have been there for Easter. I don't know how they do Easter but I know I will carry on many of the same traditions I did as a kid. We went and bought all the kids, myself, and Tony an Easter outfit. Hopefully we will get lots of pictures! The kids are planning on a visit from the Easter bunny, and I'm hoping we can find a church there to visit for that special day.
What do you love about this time of year?

New Blog Header...
I kinda figured out enough about Photoshop to make a new blog header. It's not near as pretty as most but I plan on getting a new one made once we get some good spring pictures. For now...this will due. It's nice to have a little personalization at least :)
