YIKES! May already.

We visited Cortney and Eli for the first time in their new home in Dallas.  They are renovating the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and painting the interior walls in the house.  The interior is pretty much a construction zone so only place to sit was out side by the pool.  Previous owner left their old wicker settee so we were thankful there was a place to sit.  Eli's parents lives close by so they have been eating all of their meals there.  We can't wait to go back and visit when it is complete.

Joseph missed Cortney so much!

A Gift from Cortney, yeah for UT.  He takes turns wearing an Aggie shirt and a UT shirt.

We went to Cousin Kassie's wedding in Dallas, Taylor was one of the Bridesmaids.

Cooking is my hobby and I decided to post some photos of my creations.  I made a Shrimp Cobb salad but it was not a big hit with Mark so I won't make it again but the Cilantro lime dressing was really good so I will make the dressing again.

I am starting to make Chinese food for Joseph and I am actually getting pretty good at it.  I found a great Chinese Food Blog with authentic Chinese recipes.  Below is  Peking pork, Joseph couldn't get enough of this, it was so good.

Saw Spider Man at the local grocery store and had to get a picture.

Our church had a family ministry opportunity with Feed My Starving Children.  I was surprise to find out that it was a assembly line packing individual meal packs.  We all had to wear hair nets and gloves.  Joseph was very proud of is his hair net.  he wanted to keep it on even after.

Here is a picture of Joseph in a tantrum.  I had some really ugly pictures but decided not to share.

Kindergarten field trip to see Cat in the Hat.

Zilker park with McKenna.  They play so sweet together.  McKenna is like a little mother, she is very protective of him.  So cute.

Easter egg hunt.

His Class mates in their Easter Dresses.

Joseph started taking swimming lessons and is doing so great.  He is not afraid of the water and likes to show off.  He is ready for Summer!

Local Spring Fest.  There was not a whole lot Joseph can do but "this" he loved.

Joseph had a chance to go see Mckenna practice soccer and after practice they played a game with the coaches.  They included Joseph and he had so much fun.  I think it meant more to me that they thought of him and let him participate. I get a little sad when I know how much Joseph wants to play like everyone else but I need to keep reminding myself that there are so many children that cannot do even what he is able to do.  Joseph is very blessed.

Eli's parent got him a flashlight you wear on your head so he wanted to eat in the dark and try it out.  Silly boy!

McKenna invited Joseph to swim in their warm hot tub...water in the pool is too cold to swim in.  Swimming in the hot tub turned out great because it is small and he felt safe. 

A little ham!
