My kids have become addicted to sidewalk chalk. My driveway and front porch are covered with drawings from both my kids and the other neighborhood kids. Some of us adults have even got in on the fun!

79/365

This is the Riverwalk in San Antonio. I can't wait to get back there and explore some more.

78/365

We forgot our fishing poles when we moved so we made a day of it and went to Bass Pro and got the kids some new ones. They were so excited ;o)

77/365

This is on the campus of Central Texas University in Killeen. They have a really pretty park. I am hoping to go back and get some pictures of the kids there. I blew the clouds out a little as it was a really bright sunny day but I still like how it turned out.

76/365

I think this one of my favorite pictures I have taken recently. Eli picked this flower for me at the park. I just love seeing it in his little hands.

75/365

More signs of spring! I love the color here. The pink and even the yellow and green of the moss on the bark.

74/365

Zoey along with our neighbors daughters constructed this bird house out of scraps. They then decorated it with grass, flowers, and markers. They were so proud!

73/365

I love how the light was shining through this break in the clouds. Makes me think of someone looking down on us.

72/365

Spring has Sprung!!! Yipppeeeeee!

71/365

This is our home in Texas. We love it. It is so much more roomy and modern than our house in Kentucky was. The kids all love finally having their own rooms.

70/365

I decided to make no bake peanut butter cookies. This is the completely fattening concoction of butter and sugar boiling. Yum!

69/365

This is the Central Texas Veterans Cemetery that is located across the street from out subdivision. It is a new cemetery but is really beautiful. I know that sounds morbid and odd. Cemeteries have always been places of peace and comfort to me. I love walking through them and imagining the lives of the people represented there.

68/365

I love how the sunspots here formed a cross. I know many would consider this an error in photography but I like it ;o)

67/365

I love how the sun was shining through the water drops here. It was so pretty.

66/365

This is the double rainbow that formed over our subdivision after the storm. It was gorgeous. It was full double rainbow. I don't know that I had ever seen one.

65/365

Eli at the playground. We have an on going debate at our house on what color his eyes are. I say hazel and Darrell says blue. What do you see?

64/365

Horrible, blurry picture but oh well. This is my version of a White Castle Slider. Yum! It looks like food has been on my mind a lot lately with the apple dumplings and now sliders LOL. What is bad is that none of it is healthy! These are super easy to make. Take a 9x13 casserole dish, layer the bottom with minced onion, on top of that put 2 lbs of hamburger pressed in flat, then add your favorite hamburger seasoning salt, bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. When done baking, use a paper towel to get rid of the grease, add 6 slices of cheese to the top and return to the oven for five minutes. Once the cheese is melted cut into 24 sliders and add to mini buns with a dill pickle. Yummy!

63/365

For some reason I can hardly ever get a picture of Darrell where he is not sticking out his tongue. Look how sweet Eli look ;o)

62/365

Yum! Apple Dumplings!

61/365

Look at the concentration on his face. He will spend forever playing this all by himself. He does get really mad when it all falls down though.

60/365

Rainy day here in Texas. This is view from the top of the kids swing set. Our subdivision is out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but flat land and a few hills around.

59/365

I saw this truck sitting in the field at one of the ranches here. I love photographing old things. Especially buildings and vehicles. I like the black and white. May try it in sepia later.

58/365

Warmer weather means Nala finally gets outside baths again! Eli decided to help. They did a great job.

57_365

Welcome to Texas and blue skies.

56/365

I hate pictures of myself but this was all I had for today. Enjoy!

55/365

And so all good things come to an end. The good thing about snow in Texas is that it lasts a very short while. These are the remains of our snow family.

54/365

This is the finished product of the quest to build the snow family. We didn't have any scarves or any limbs for arms so they are a little unfinished LOL. They had a great time building them though.

53/365

There is a lot of pretty iron/welding work around here. I am hoping to get out and get some more pictures of it. This is the top of a gate to a local ranch. Many of the ranches here have their ranch name or something like this overhead as you go through the gate.

52/365

Another Texas sunset. Same trees different colors from the sky.

51/365

This is Belton Lake. Not really one of my best pics ;o) This area is really pretty though. I am looking forward to getting back out there and taking some more pics. There was a lot of debris and stuff around where they were still trying to clean up from high waters.

50/365

I just thought this fire hydrant was interesting. I like how old it looks and the contrast between the orange and yellow.

49/365

This is a really crappy picture but hey it is all I had. We bought ourselves a moving present, a new TV. Eli was super proud of it and wanted me to take his picture with it. What a cheeser!

48/365

Eli fell asleep in the car holding his ring pop while we were running errands.

47/365

Caleb and Zoey on their first day at their new school. Eli wanted in on the action too. They were so excited that they didn't have to wear uniforms anymore.

46/365

This is at the front of our subdivision. The colors were really nice during this sunset.

45/365

Seiko is so ticked at us about this trip. She wouldn't come near us for day. She hid on top of our kitchen cabinets. This is one of the first times she finally came out when were all around. She still looks really mad!

44/365

This is how you eat ice cream when you are waiting for your furniture. The kids have not complained once about eating at the table since we finally got our stuff here ;o)

43/365

This is how you watch movies when you have no furniture and a small TV. Zoey is the one sitting in the Rubbermaid container. They would fight over who got sit in it cause then they had something to lean on. Next PCS we will remember to pack chairs.

42/365

The city you see on the horizon in Killeen but I am actually still in city limits when I take this picture. Everything here is much flatter, even the trees, but it is still very pretty.

41/365

This is the mantle in our new home. During the move in inspection I took pictures of any imperfections so we wouldn't be charged with them when me moved out LOL. This is the paint someone got on the wood.

40/365

This is Nala playing in the snow in Arkansas. It followed us from Kentucky :o( I am so ready for spring. I have had enough of snow for one season.

39/365

This is Darrell and one of his best friends Ansel. We had not seen Ansel in YEARS but were fortunate enough to be able to swing by and see him and meet his family on our trip from Kentucky to Texas. We had a wonderful time reliving some old times and catching up on the years without contact. Can't wait to meet up with them again sometime.

38/365

This is Eli hiding in one of Beth's closets during our layover in Arkansas. He refused to get down.

37/365

We spent this day cleaning and getting all of the trash and stuff out of the parsonage. Not many opportunities to get a decent picture ;o)

36/365

These are the gifts that Caleb and Zoey got from their classmates. We really hated to leave their school as they both had great teachers and classes this year. They were super happy that their classmates thought enough of them to get them going away presents.

35/365

This Zoey hiding in the sea of boxes at our house. The movers couldn't believe we had managed to fit that much stuff into our little bitty house. The kids thought it was great fun to hide behind the boxes and try to scare us as we walked past.

34/365

This is all of the stuff we plan to take with us in our cars on the move. We have to separate it so the movers won't pack it. Trust me, if you leave it out they pack it.....somewhere.

33/365

This is what the sky looked like this morning when Eli and I got back from taking Caleb and Zoey to school.

32/365

More sunrises. Hopefully once we get to Texas I can find a few more interesting things to take pictures of. For awhile though I may just be posting pics of highways, cars, and boxes.

31/365

This is my absolute favorite picture that I have taken in a long time. The light was just amazing this morning and the frost on the trees was all glittery. It was just an amazing morning to wake up to.
