It seemed to go especially long for me, haha! I
just couldn't gear up to write anything...sometimes that happens. The
school is almost over and we are oh so glad. Can't wait for the
summer!!!! Sleeping in and just having fun, Spring Break was a teaser of
what's to come! We had a great Spring Break for sure though!
Some updates on our lives:
-We finally got the approval needed to host an
exchange student next year. We got to "meet" and skype with
her. She seems super sweet and outgoing. Her name is Anne and she's from
Norway. We will be hosting her for the 2012-13 school year. She
will be a senior at our local high school, the same one Franklin and I attended
just a short time ago! Go Bulldogs!!!!!! We can't wait for her to
come and learn more about her culture, customs and traditions and teach her
about ours! I will have to up the celebrations this year, haha!!
-We had a great Spring Break visit with my brother
and his family! It went by much too fast. They drove in from Texas
and we surprised the girls by not telling them that they were coming. When
we pulled up to Mom and Dad's that afternoon, Evelyn took off running and just
hugged her cousin Gracie Lou, who she just talks about and misses everyday! (Her
name is Grace, but I call her Gracie Lou). Her brother Sam and Vera got
along swimmingly too!! The had to establish dominance first, being 6mos.
apart but they had fun!!! (Vera won, she's a little bigger-what did you
expect?!) Molly is the littlest little peanut, so cute-but wanted nothing
to do with me until it was time to leave. She is so stinkin' cute!!!! We
had fun with them for sure though. We got to go fishing with Uncle
Michael and Daddy out at Lake Okeechobee, visit Magic Kingdom and Animal
Kingdom with Gracie Lou, and just hang out at Grandma and Grandpa's pool
swimming. (too cold for me though) Jeannette made Karen her b-day cake to
celebrate Karen Day and it was so yummy!!!! We even got to have an adult
only dinner out, which was pretty good too!!!
In this next series of pictures you can see the happiness in Evelyn's face...
She was not letting go!

-In our lives...so much going on that is time
consuming! We got our approval for Ag Life at the end of January and have
been in full swing since then. We've been ordering t-shirts, hats,
koozies, making stickers and such. We are preparing for a late April
meeting in Tennessee to provide our ideas to a company and see if they would be
interested in setting up a display in their store. It's been a ton of
work, but I have 3 designs done for now. We are trying to work on making
a website it also to do online sales. For those of you that don't
understand, it's a way for you to be proud of your "Ag"riculture
Lifestyle. I came up with a motto too, Sun Up to Sun Down. It's
Everything we do! Here are some of my designs: (just a small tasting of 3 designs)
Cotton farmers
Cattle ranchers
