Easter Weekend

I know these are late, but finally I am posting some pics from our Easter weekend.

We started in our home town with family egg hunt at the great-grandparents but then we also made a trip to see the other two sets of great-grandparents that don't live here.

Obviously I (mommy) did NOT do his hair.... That would be Daddy.  I think it looks like a dinosaur!

We had a blast seeing all the family, but now that we travel 6 hours one way every other weekend, we probably won't be making any extra weekend trips for awhile!

Pictures galore!

Just some quick picks today. 

Our new pet

The neighbor across the street had a nice table and sign setup in her yard so Pockets and I walked across the to see what she was selling and came home with a new pet.  That's right, unlike the typical lemonade stand this girl had set up a snail shop!  William really didn't know what to think so when she asked if he wanted to buy one he said yes, but then asked what it was as we walked back to our house. 

In the last few hours though he has begun to be completely attached to this new pet appropriately named "little snail".

It is apparently an aquatic snail so it lives in a fish tank.... or a pyrex dish. 

Here is it's close-up.  Note the blue marble.  It is TINY!!!

ECI Round up

My job held a fundraising event this past weekend at a local equestrian therapy riding center.  It was a lot of fun for Pockets and little sis, dad, and I also had a good time. 

Pockets was so excited to see a real cow up close.  There was also a baby calf in the pen.

This is him with his new best buddy.  They were able to pet and groom the horse all by themselves.

We got to eat smoked hotdogs and such while we were there.

Pockets also had a blast at the petting zoo. 

They hayride might not have been the highlight of the day.

But when it was all said in done we got to come home and get snack ....

and play golf in the front yard. 

Man when Lubbock has nice weather it is beautiful and we just can't help but be outside and enjoy it!

Bluebonnets

While we were in Dallas we had to get atleast one picture of the bluebonnets.  Kitty actually had a nice patch in her backyard which was perfect for Little Sis.

Also, here is one more picture of Little Sis' crazy hair to hold you over till August when we get our band off!

Playing Games!

This video is from the car ride to Cranial Tech to get her band.  She had already been playing with me for a good 15 minutes and after filming she continued to play for another 15 minutes more!

Trip to Dallas

Well we took a trip as a family this week to Dallas to get Little Sis' new helmet/band

We stopped at a road side park for lunch

 

Where I actually got some great pictures of Pockets! But then we dropped him off at Kitty's house and took Little Sis to the appointment by herself.

This picture was taken just a few minutes after the helmet was put on her head.  She seemed not to mind at all.

Classic tongue up!

Before we left we stopped to play in the flowers and take another cute pic!

Just a little information about the band/helmet. 

This band is actually a dynamic band meaning that it works in more than one way.  The larger part above little sis’ right eye and a few spots in the back of band are actually applying a mild holding pressure in those areas since the head is already too prominent there. The other parts of the helmet have room to grow in them since they are flatter regions of her skull. 

Like I mentioned before Little Sis will need to wear this helmet for 23 hours a day for 4 months.  Then we will get to take it off and see the amazing progress!
