What a slacker I am...







Man, I'm terrible at this. It's been forever since I've updated this blog. We've gotten over Chicken Pox, met Dirk, had Easter and I haven't written a thing. I'm going to try and do better. Really.






Ok, Colby and Laci got to meet Dirk. Laci won this sweepstakes (along with 199 other lucky people) at the Mavs Fanshop and put my name down since she lives in Oklahoma. She ended up getting to come down for it so she, Colby, Jace, and I went to the AAC to meet him a few weeks ago. We really wanted Colby to get to meet him since he's watched all the games all season with us. I forfeited my opportunity so that Laci and Colby could talk to him since they sure weren't gonna let us all in. We were there about an hour and a half early, so being the #1 fans we are, Laci and Colby were first in line. When Dirk walked in and sat down behind the table, Colby handed him his rookie card to have signed. They said he was great and talked to Colby while he signed it. Afterwards, Colby asked him if he could give him a high five. Well, what he didn't know was that Colby thinks giving someone a high five entails slapping them as hard as he possibly can. When Dirk held out his hand for the high five, Colby pulled back and gave him a typical "Colby" high five. Apparently, the sound of the slap echoed through the corridor of the AAC. Dirk's eyes got huge and he smiled and said, "Impressive, man...I've still got to play with that hand." Colby got a kick out of it...as well as the rest of the people in line behind them. And play he did...the Mavs turned it up and ended up the 6 seed in the playoffs to go on and beat the Spurs in the first round. Awesome. We sure do love some Mavs in our house...






We also had a great Easter. Corey of course was at the station. A shift works almost every holiday two out of every three years. Annoying, but that's a whole other post some day when I have time. Anyway, Easter was great. All the boys shirts were picked out to match the princess' Easter dress. They all looked adorable. After church we went to Mimi and Granddaddy's for lunch and an egg hunt. I've included pics of Easter.






Jace's birthday is next week. I'll try and get something posted before he turns 5...
