Chappell Hill, Brenham and Blue Bonnets

We flew to Brenham to see Blue Bonnets and also made our way to Chappell Hill (sp?). So pretty!

I think the red Indian Paintbrush flowers are just as pretty ... I never got a picture of the yellow fields.

This was on a building in Chappell Hill .. .ha ha ha made me laugh!! Had to share it.

These square dancers caught my eye ... I think that's a funny dance with funny costumes.

Some diners at Must Be Heaven .. our required stop for lunch in Brenham. :-)

Happy Birthday Dain!

It was Dain's bday this week .... Here's a belated Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He turned 19 ... no 29 ... no 39 ... ??? I lost count. And yes, he's crossing his eyes ... He crossed them in every single picture! lol

Emi's Stress Fracture

Well, Emi has been complaining of pain right above her ankle in her left leg. I took her this week to get a bone scan and she has a stress fracture (doctor said it has been there a while) plus shin splints in both legs!!! Poor baby girl! So she starts physical therapy next week and will continue for 6 weeks. During that time, no running!!!! Her coach was upset that we didn't allow her to run district but now I'm glad we made that decision. She was already in enough pain.

Check out my new blog!

I decided to start a new blog ... I have maintained a workout routine over the years and it's become a part of my daily life. Almost every week I receive an email from a friend/acquaintance wanting to know about my workouts, what I do, how I do it, etc. So I decided that it would be easier to just blog my workouts and share with everyone.

Check it out! It's called A-Fit-Tude and let me know what you think. I would love suggestions on how to improve it.

Emi's track meet

Emi's last track meet of the season. She's having a bone scan next week because the doctor thinks she has a fracture. She had been complaining of pain. We assumed it was shin splints but we were wrong! Her orthopedist allowed her to run this last meet. Now for the scan ... She won't be able to run for district (for which she qualified). She's bummed but safety comes first.

Easter

Blogger isn't letting me upload pictures .. odd. So I will add pictures to this post later.

Easter was weird because it was just the 3 of us. It's a difficult weekend for Alyssa to come home because it's a ways to travel for a couple of days. She spent it with my parents. Christian opted to go visit a friend at college who wasn't going home, so he went to San Marcos. That left Dain, Emi and me. It was nice. We colored eggs, had a yummy meal, and I even made Emi go a hunt. When she woke up, I announced that she had to find her Easter chocolates. She looked at me and said, "so did you hide them or dad?" I asked her why and she replied, "because if it was dad, it will be hard. If it was you, it will take me seconds." ha ha Well, it was me and it took her seconds.
