An EPIC Trip: Skiing in Utah

We had an EPIC ski trip to Park City, Utah, skiing at Deer Valley with the Rushing and Willard families.  Everything was perfect, the snow, the weather, the kids absolutely LOVED it.  So much fun to ski with them.  Can't wait to go again...kids are saving their money for lift tickets!  Here is a picture of the 15 of us...ski bums!

Go Texan Day, Booster-thon and the start of Softball and Baseball

Yee Haw!  It is Rodeo season here in Texas and my Texans were out in full attire!  Jacob had his bible study before school so I did not get my precious picture every year of all three of them in their get ups.  Sweet neighbors and friends!
 Annie and her cowgirl friends:


 Love this sweet boy!


 Gwyn and her cowgirl friends:
 Her buddy Beckett:
 My favorite cowboy!
 4th grade is full of awkward boy/girl dancing:

 Buds:

Check out the dancing!!!!!






My favorite crazy picture from Gwyn's end of season party:
 Boosterthon was a success...all Katts ran all 35+ laps, raised a bunch of money for the school and had fun while doing it.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day outside, perfect weather, lots of fun!



 Softball and baseball have kicked off with a bang...we had two softball games and two baseball games on Saturday....keep your eyes open for this little hot shot...she's equipped with Anna Lee's old helmet, Audrey's old bat, Caroline's old shoes, and her big sister Gwyn's old glove and bag...she's going to be a force to be reckoned with...and I had to pitch to her team, which was a success...I didn't hit anyone and the only one I struck out was guess who....yep, Annie:(  She did get a great hit the first time around though!!

 Jacob's awesome little Spartan baseball team started the weekend with a bang, winning both their pool games.  Jacob LOVED it and ROCKED it...two triples to the fence, he pitched four innings, struck out 8 batters and was given the game ball...I literally almost cried after the game, it was such a good boost for him, and what a way to kick off the Spring season!  Such a good decision to move him to this team, and he's with his best buddy Adam to top it off!!
 A great little Short-Stop / 2nd Base combo:
One of Jacob's triples:



Last, but certainly not least...Gwyn started the weekend off with several outs at first AND a home run!  I think we will be a force to be reckoned with...especially our bows!!
