Easter in Keithville

We kept Easter plans pretty simple this year and just stayed close to home. After church, the Easter Bunny visited us and Arwen got to hunt eggs in her beautiful Easter dress. I would have gotten Easter pics of Jonas, but he was asleep during the egg-hunting festivities.

Trav meets Guster!!!

"Who is Guster?!?" you're asking yourself right now. Well, I'll tell you. They are one of my favorite bands these days, second only to Weezer. I discovered them last year and now I can't get enough of them. They've been around since the early 90's and are still going strong with a loyal fan base and a strong college following. They have a super-fun sound and really catchy songs. You might have heard "Satellite" or "Amsterdam", which are some of their more popular songs.

Anyway, my buddy, Jeremy, and I headed to Dallas last Friday night to see Guster play at the House of Blues. It was a great show and I knew all of the songs except for 2, which makes for a fun sing-a-long concert experience. Afterwards we hung around by the tour bus for over an hour with some other loyal fans and finally got the chance to meet the band as they got ready to leave. They were all really nice and were happy to take a few minutes to sign cd covers and take pictures. Check out my pics below.

Also, special thanks to my pal, Steve, and his wife, Kyna, for not only letting us crash at their house, but letting us do so at 2am. They were also nice enough to feed us an awesome breakfast. I will definitely tell all my friends about Steve's Bed, Breakfast & Bulldogs! Thanks Stevey!

Day Trip for Papa Larry's Birthday!

We loaded up everyone and headed to Daingerfield for a quick trip on Sunday morning for Papa Larry's birthday! Arwen loves running around outside at his house, as you can see in the pictures. He has a beautiful view and lots of room to run and play in the dirt. She likes it. A lot. Jonas was happy to see his Papa and enjoyed being outside a lot as well. We brought a carrot cake, which is his favorite, and all dug in. We were back on the road by 4:00, but it was a nice trip.

Jonas' First Day of School

Today was Jonas' first day of going to school with Arwen! He's only going 2 days-a-week for now, as opposed to Arwen's 3 days. He's a lot younger than Arwen was when she started going, but he seemed to do really well. Everyone was commenting on how much he looked like his big sister and one lady said, "He's such an easy baby...NOT like Arwen!" LOL! It's funny how their personalities get established so early. We're proud of our big boy!

SNOW DAY!!!

Like most of the country last week/weekend we got snowed in on Friday and were pretty much stuck at home for 2 days when we had planned to be in Oklahoma for Papa Eck's birthday. We were disappointed about missing the trip, but made the most of an unexpected weekend at home. Here are some pics of me and Arwen having fun in the snow...and an adorable Jonas pic too, of course. :)

A few Jonas pics.

It's been a while since i put some Jonas pics on here, so here's a few recent pics of the man himself! Oh, yeah, and one of me and Arwen too.

Arwen's 2nd Haircut!

Today Arwen and I went to Brother's Hair Salon for hair cuts. She was REALLY excited! This is only her 2nd hair cut and the first was so long ago she doesn't remember it. We only trimmed of a couple of inches, but it was a big moment for her. Afterwards, Lyndsey taught Arwen how to "work it" and they modeled up and down the salon for everyone. That's what she's doing in the last 2 pics. Too fun!
