Easter Sunday 2009
It was early and needed to get going out the door to go out of town. We were all was ready and it was time to go out the door, howver and of course, Kallie was being slow, She had not come downstairs yet so she didn't know that the Easter Bunny was being chased around the living room as her brother tried to catch him. Just as she started downstairs her father told her that the Easter
Bunny was being chased out of the house before he could leave her something special. She then hurried down stairs to save the Easter Bunny. What she didn't know was there was no Easter Bunny and that we had already hid all the eggs around the living room for her to find. After finding an egg or two she just stood there with a smile on her face until Eddie and I gave her some encouragement to find more. Each time she found one she would quickly place it in the basket. Sometimes it was so fast she throwing the egg's contains onto the floor. She would then pick up the contents, place it back into the egg, close the egg, and then throw it into the basket as she looked around for the next egg.Then we went over to grandmas to have our Easter dinner. While there Kallie had lot o d fun playing. First it was just inside the house climbing on everything she could, included her great Uncle Jimmy Case. Then she finally went outside, Of course there since there was puddle of rain water she f got wet and muddy. We ate lunch and then did another Eadter Egg Hunt. Finally after the hunt she disovered that her grandpa had left out the broken riding lawn mower so she pretended to mow the yard.
Easter 2009
On April 4, 2009 we took Kallie to the park for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. We got there early hoping to get a little bit of playtime in prior to the egg hynt. She climbed on the jungle gym, went down the slide, and even she tried hanging from the monk
ey bars ... of course mom was there to hold her as she hung. While playing she meet a little boy. Both of them keep telling us that they have been friends fo years even though they had just meet. Finally after waiting for an hour for the sponsor to get set up it was time for the hunt - 45 minutes. All the children were lined up around the eggs, which were just thrown out onto the soccer field, anixously waiting for the green light. When it finally was sounded all the children ran onto the field hoping to get lots of eggs. Unfortuately that was not the case. Kallie ran onto the field passed several eggs on the ground to get a pink egg. After picking up the egg she just sttod there looking around.. She was lost and confused...NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I yelled at her pick up more eggs, but by that time all the eggs were gotten. The precious thing about the little boy she had meet.. At the end he had several eggs and out of the kindness of his heart he gave her another eggs since see only had one.

"Lion" Shower - Karen & Thaine Briscoe
It has come to the end of the pregnancy. And with all new babies to come into the world also come the famous "Baby Shower". Everyone had a great time and all wait for the new arrival to come. 
Of course there were games ... Name the Nursery Rhyme, Guess the "Babay" Song title and Artist, Nursery Rhyme Jeopardy, Guess the size of Karen's tummy. All guest had to guess by cutting a piece of twine that they though was the circumference. You were either too short, too long, a smidgen to long. And then there is the lucky winner of the day ... SAMANTHA ... Exactly on.
Then of course the presents ...... What to get the little feller even though he is not even here and no one knows if it was a girl or a boy. Does everyone just buy of the registry or what. Presents after present everyone thought "Boy, this kid is getting spoiled, especially from GRANDMAs". 
March 29, 2009 Kallie Turns 4
What a weekend it was.. Friday it was competition, Saturday cleaning the house and doing laundry, and Finally Sunday going to church. In all of that we had to celebrate Kallie turning 4 years old. Invitations were sent out a week prior after several discussion on what the invitations were to be. first it was Dora, then princess, then... the list went on and on for weeks. Finally I told her she had to decide or that there was not going to have a party. She finally decided on Strawberry Shortcake. It was not just one party for the friends and family, but two a "FRIEND" and a "FAMILY DINNER" parties.
Unfortunately because the party was on a Sunday most of her friends could not come. Since that was the cause we had a play date with one friends and a huge family dinner. Everyone had a blast and Kallie seemed not to care that she only had one friend at her friend party.
March 27, 2009 TCGC State Competition
Competition Video: Ashley is the one at the far right, with out a partner.
It was an early start for everyone. They left school before school even started for the day ... travel by charter bus to Houston for a routine that probably lasted less then 10 minutes. Then to sit around for hours for awards. All the girls were nervous and glad competition was coming to an end ... the waiting to enter the arena not only was killing the girl but also the parents who tagged along. They performed, refolded the floor outside ... WE then left from the competition for lunch. Upon returning to competition for the reward ceremony, all the girls become anxious again ... They all were hoping for first place. Time had finally passed and the girls were down on the floor waiting patiently for the rewards. One by one teams were called in place order starting in 14th place, then 13th, then 12th, and so on. It finally came down to three teams. Finally it was over... the announcer said ..."In third place, Leander/Rouse" I thought some of the girls would faint. All were greatly excited but at the same time they were disappointed that they did not get first place.
It became a very long day for Kallie too.
March 25, 2009 Hail Damage
What a day it was ... work, work, work, and then the storm. It just not fair. Life was going great. There was no bumps in the road until the storm hit. I was on the way home sitting in my car at 183 and Spicewood Springs/Anderson Mill area when it began. It started very lightly and then all HELL broke through the clouds. No where to run and hide. 183 became a parking lot and we all just sat there as sitting ducks. It was over before we knew it but nature left her damage on us all ... (pic 1 outside view, pic 2 my children thought they could connect the dents, and pic 3 inside view of dash board with glass on it).
