Texas Blue Bonnets

When we moved here a couple of months ago, we did not know what spring would bring for us... much to our surprise, we found that the Blue Bonnets come out in the spring! Who knew that Texas was such a great state! It makes me more and more happy we moved here. I will have to take pictures of the road sides, they cover the hills with this beautiful blue haze! 

On the way back from the Blue Bell Ice Cream tour, Payton and I stopped along the road to take a picture of these stunning flowers! I have been told that they are just starting to come out and in a couple more weeks, they will be in fulll bloom! Can't wait to see God beauty! 

Easter

What a blessed Easter we had this year. We started the lent season off with a cold and wet winter, where things were very bleak. And on the day the Lord was placed in his tomb, our life started getting better! The Texas Blue Bonnets are in full bloom and so is our life again. Easter has really been a transforming season for us this year. We spent a lot of time reading the Bible and studying God's words. It is amazing what He can reviel when you are paying attention! I truely believe that God brought us here to Texas for a renewed life in him. We have experienced nothing but wonderful things here. 

Payton had a great season as well. We went to an Easter egg hunt a few weeks before where she saw the bunny come in on a fire truck. From then on, she stated "Bunny, bunny!" when we talked about eggs! She had a blast with egg hunts and going to church all dressed up. 

Hope you had a blessed Easter as well. God sure can work in your life if you let him lead you! 

Much love, Jessica 

Florida Trip

In March Payton and I got to fly home to Florida and spend some good time with our family. Bill and Jeanne drove in and we spent a good amount of time visiting Todd, Michelle and the boys. At one point, Payton had all four grandparents to herself and was offered chocolate milk, donuts and was being pampered to her every need. In fact, Wayne told me to bring an empty suit case because between, everyone, she ended up with a new wardrobe! 

Payton enjoyed an afternoon in the park with her Grandma and Dad-Dad. She loves playing with them! And with her Gigi and Papa, she got to got to Dairy Kurl!!! Need I say more! 

Hope you enjoy the pictures! 

Shiny Shoes and Big Hats

Payton has taken to being a girl on a new level. She has discovered how much fun it is to dress up! Notice, even Malcolm, the dog, was involved in the afternoon of fun! Taylor gave her some light up shiny shoes in which she loves to clomp around the house in, braclets, noodle necklaces and don't forget the purse and hat! She had a great time and I got loads of laughs. 

Hope you enjoy the picture.
