Wow! What an awesome experience! Of course, Chris goes to Colonial every year, but this was my first time. Chris went on Friday, but wanted to go again since we had tournament badges.
We went on Sunday and got a VIP parking pass from Stephen-thank you!! Thankfully, the humidity had dropped so it wasn't too miserable. There was plenty of shade and a nice breeze. Chris knows the course, so we were able to strategically get ahead of the crowd following Phil. We were able to see Phil quite a bit. At one point, we were waiting for him to cross over to the next tee box and I was standing right at the rope and he walked right by me and handed a ball to the little girl standing in front of me-awesome!! Phil rocks! After his awesome shot on 18 and victory, he thanked the soldiers for serving. And thanks to my Mom and Dad for taking care of the girls! We spent yesterday swimming and hanging out at my parent's-the girls did so great and had so much fun! My parents bought a basketball goal and it was so much fun! We are wrapping up school, have McKenna's recital and tons of other stuff! Hope everyone has a great week!

Weekend Project: Part One
Well, it took some prep work during the past week, but this is how we spent our weekend! We tiled the girls' bathroom! And for first-timers, I think that we did a pretty good job! We just finished grouting and we will need to caulk and re-set the toilet tomorrow evening. We also plan on painting, putting in a new light fixture and a new mirror, but that is for another weekend! Have a great week!!

MS 150
Chris finished his third MS 150 yesterday! Here are some pictures from the weekend!
Day One
This is the start in Frisco. There were over 4,000 riders in this year's event! It was freezing and very, very windy!
This is at the finish line at Texas Motor Speedway. At the end of day one, Chris rode 86.1 miles!
Day Two
The day started at TMS and ended in Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth. At the end of day two, Chris rode 74.3 miles! From left to right: Alan, Chris, Laralynn and Keith

Happy May Day!
Saturday is the MS 150 Frisco to Fort Worth! Chris has been training really hard. A big thanks to everyone that has supported him and in finding a cure for MS. And its still not too late to donate! Every little bit helps! So keep Chris in your thoughts and prayers this weekend that it will be a safe and fun ride! I hope to post pictures from the ride next week!
Have a great weekend!

Busy!
We have been super busy! Brent, Nicole and Callie were here last week-and we all had a great time! The girls always have so much fun together! We ate at Pappasito's(a given when Nicole is here and my fav!), went to Build-a- Bear, celebrated Grampy's birthday and just hung out! It just went by so quickly!
Chris rode on Sunday-it was very windy. Only a few more weeks until the MS 150! I'm not sure if he will start riding in the evening as well..? This is his 3rd year to ride and it is always an amazing event! We make it a little bit of a getaway too. Since it begins super early, and in Frisco-a world away from us-we drive over Friday evening and eat dinner, spend the night at a hotel, then get up for the ride the next am. All while my folks keep the girls. After the start, I head back, gather our stuff and make my way back home. The half-way stop is at TMS, about 8-10 miles from our house, so the girls and I go and sit at the finish line. And on Sunday, they ride from TMS up close to Decatur and finish in downtown Fort Worth. It really is an awesome event and a super way to raise money to find a cure for MS!
Caris cut her hair yesterday. It must be a rite of passage-McKenna did the same thing around this same age-took a big chunk out of the middle of her bangs! Fortunately, with her hair, it was hard for me to even see where Caris had cut it! I just saw pieces of hair on the floor! It scared me because today is Picture Day at school-of course. But where Caris did cut goes up when I put her bow in...so no biggie.
I planted flowers yesterday and finished up today. It is supposed to rain today and tomorrow, so I'm glad I got them in! Guess that's all for now-have a great day!

**Oh and mark your calendar for May 2-3-there will be big happenings over at SO for National Scrapbooking Day!! Too bad for me since this is the same weekend as the MS150, but I still hope to get some time in scrapping!
