Easter Weekend

Maddie and I went to The Woodlands for Easter Weekend and Les was meeting us there after his show in Dallas. On, Good Friday, Gemaw and Gepaw drove in town to see us and celebrate the holiday. We met for dinner then went to the Good Friday service at the church and then Saturday morning Maddie got sick. She woke up with the stomach bug and Gemaw and Gepaw had to head home because they didn't need to catch this virus. We were so sad to see them leave but we understood.
Maddie finally felt better on Easter Sunday so we dressed her up in her dress to hunt eggs and do her easter basket. She looked so cute despite the fact she felt so bad. :( We took our family pictures in the yard and then went inside for lunch. After lunch, Nana and Maddie dyed eggs for the first time on the patio. Maddie just loved dropping the eggs in the color and kept saying "more Nana." She loved Easter even though she was sick and we loved being there with Nana and Papa.

Wwwweeeee.......

Aunt Rae Rae and Maddie


The family.

Nana got a really neat kit for dying eggs because you were able to draw with a wax crayon before you dyed the egg. When you got the egg out of the color, you could see what you had drawn or written. So, Maddie did her signature scribble.

Maddie was watching so intensely at Nana dying her eggs.

Here is the finished product! You can kind of see on the green egg that it says Maddie. Aunt Rae Rae did that for her.

Overall, we all had a great Easter weekend and just wished that Maddie had not gotten sick but that is okay. She was a trooper. We hope you had a great Easter too. :)

Mommy & Daddy at the ACM Awards

We went to Vegas the first weekend in April because the Randy Rogers Band was nominated for Vocal Group of the Year at the ACM awards. We got to hangout on Saturday and do some band obligations then the awards were on Sunday night. But on the first day there in Vegas, my camera decides to break and not work so Les and I walked down the strip to find a camera store. We bought a new one so luckily, i have pictures from the trip. Take a look!


This is us out on the strip taking our first pic with the new camera.


Just playing the slots!! It was fun playing with Mimi. We are so thankful that she felt well enough to come and be with us. God is amazing! Thank you for the prayers.


Nicole and Keith got out of their limo right in front of us. She is so tall and he is so handsome!

Les is on the carpet. I was able to take a peek and snap a quick picture.

Our guys getting interviewed on the carpet.

The Band Wives!


We took a quick limo ride to another casino to eat dinner b/c our casino was packed with people from the awards.


We were hanging out backstage at a party and got to meet Carrot Top. He is such a nice guy.

Oh Tucker!

Aunt Rae Rae got a new puppy about a month ago. His name is Tucker and actually Maddie says it really well. She thinks that Tucker is a baby and she wants to hold him and carry him around but he is a puppy so he bucks around too much. He loves to lay and play with Buddy too. Take a look at the pictures of Maddie and Tucker.


Maddie decided to get in the kennel with Tucker one afternoon.

She recently figured out to climb through the doggy door and go back and forth. I am not sure that this is a good thing.


She already looks like a little mommy with her baby and puppy. Poor Tucker!
