Happy Easter!

Whew, what an amazing and busy Easter weekend! It was so great seeing all of our families over the last couple of days. We started out on Saturday with a fish fry at Zach's parents' house. We have been getting together for the last few years with his family, my family, and now the Grady's (Zach's sister's in laws). Mr. Chip makes some of the BEST fried catfish around!

On Sunday, Braeden woke up and was greeted with a basket from the Easter Bunny and another basket from His Mimi and Pops. He was very excited about his football (which has not left his side since that morning) and all of the other cars and planes he got. Must have been a good boy to get all those special treats!

After the morning, we headed to Easter Service at our church. After a beautiful service we headed on to Kingwood for a family BBQ.

Easter Egg Hunt time!

One of my lovely cousins modeling my shoe for everyone! I'll be nice and NOT mention who he is :)


A nice end to the day... Braeden "singing", if you want to call it that. It was SOOOO cute though!

All in all, a wonderful Easter celebration with family! I hope everyone had a blessed Easter as well!

Zach is THREE DECADES old!

Zach birthday was March 27th, and what a fun time it was! Thanks to the help from my family and CMAK2, we were able to successfully pull off a "surprise" crawfish boil. It wasn't a total suprise, but as much of a suprise as I could pull off. Zach went to play golf in the morning with family and he knew that there was something going on afterwards, but he didn't know who-what-or where. Thanks to all who came to celebrate from near and far. It was great seeing everyone, and I know it meant a lot to Zach for all of his closest friends to be there to celebrate! Enjoy the pics below. I've also added a few pics from his last 30 years :)

 A glimpse into the past:
