EASTER FUN!!

Easter was exceptionally special this year, not only were we celebrating my mom's birthday, we were also battling ridiculous temps for April... even here in South TX!! This Easter I had plans... a menu of baby lamb chops and an arugala salad, even scalloped potatoes... I had fabulous wines picked out and couldnt wait to share it with our guests .

but the compressor on my AC unit had other plans...

we could BBQ? um no. not only would I not forgive myself for eating "ham"burgers on easter... it just isnt a BBQ type day.

So my dad came to the rescue and said LETS DO BRUNCH!!

And we did.... Off to the Westin at La Cantera we went... and what a fabulous spread we enjoyed. The food was terrific, we weren't rushed, plenty of fun activities for the kiddies... and the best part??? CLIMATE CONTROL!!!

Whew!! Where have WE been??

Its been a whirlwind few months here Deep in the Heart... Between spring break and T-Ball and FIESTA! ... I can't believe March and now half of April is behind us!

We had a wonderful "Stay"cation for our march Spring Break... including some time spent at Sea World and downtown at the beautiful Grand Hyatt on the Riverwalk. What a fabulous vacation spent with my incredible family... We had breakfast with the Sesame Street Characters at Sea World... enjoyed the new "bay of play" water park for the kids and then retired to our suite-( yep! all 1600 sq ft of it) for the rest of the weekend!! ( look to FB for the pics!)

Colton is now playing T-Ball for St. Monica's CYO and Donnie is head coach- and I'm team mom. crazy right?? We've been BEGGING for this time of is life to hurry on up so we can be involved with something here in SA, and it has run us ragged- in a really good way of course... Nothing is worth more than time spent together as a family- and we are thrilled to be in this altogether!!

Of course now factor in Donnie's Season of softball-- he's playing for Radiology's team.... and on weekends he's also on Lackland's War Hawks Tourney team... so we've been busy to say the least. I can't believe its Holy Week... and after the 30th... everything changes again-- as he is heading to BAMC! ( thank GAWD we can save that hike and gas and worrisome commute!!)

My parents are heading out here TOMORROW! YAY! YAY! YAY!  We can't wait for them to get here, and I know they can't wait either... the kids are so excited to see Momma & Poppa!!

We are also down to 7 weeks left of school!! COME ON JUNE!! Summer has already hit us here- as we've had high temps and icky humidity already... so I am looking forward to a summer back on the East Coast... Plan is to hit Charleston in early June for a few weeks, and then head on up to Long Island and spend the summer with my parents...and yes- there will be Beach & Boating all.summer.long.
