75 Years Ago

On April 19, 1934, Great Grandpa Green became a Methodist minister. Picture above is the congregation giving him a standing ovation for 75 years of service.
The pastor read this proclamation written by the bishop of the North Texas Annual Conference declaring today Edwin Green Day.

Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Green

We all went to church this morning with Eric's parents. The kids liked going to big church and William took his first communion. The girls are wearing dresses made by Nana Green.

Afterwards, we celebrated at Spaghetti Warehouse. We all enjoyed Edwin Green Day!

Spring Festival

William's museum class had a Spring Festival today. Eric took off work to join in on the fun!
Everyone got to pet a box turtle and a bearded dragon lizard.
Above picture of William's class. (L-R) Lauren, Ashlyn, McKenna, Natalie, Ms. Judy, William, Matthew and Adrian. You have probably heard him mention a few of these names.
We went on a hike through the woods then the kids showed us the parachute while on the prairie.
The best part, of course, was all the food!

Happy Easter


It was a rainy Easter Sunday in Texas. We took the kids to Sunday School and we were teacher volunteers this week. Eric got to help teach William's Sunday School class this morning. As you can see the Easter Bunny and Grandparents gave the kids way more candy than they need!
We spent the holiday weekend at my parent's house having OkieFest. My mom is from Oklahoma and her side of the family came to visit this weekend. The picture above is William playing cars with cousin Cameron (my cousin Lorrin's little boy) and cousin Gary (my brother's little boy).
The kids and their beautiful colored eggs.

Easter Eggstravaganza

Our church had an annual Easter Eggstravaganza this afternoon. The kids got to meet the Easter Bunny and went on an egg hunt. William informed us that this was not the real Easter Bunny!
They made lots of crafts, got tattoos and decorated cookies.

Their favorite parts were riding the train and jumping in the bounce house.

Basketball Banquet

Tonight was the annual basketball banquet for Eric's team. We enjoyed a nice dinner at the Country Club. The kids were excited about getting their own desserts.
This is a picture of William beside one of Eric's players. He is 6'10" and got a basketball scholarship to West Point. William has lots of growing to do!!!
Eric gave his end of season speech. He always does such a great job speaking in front of large crowds.
