Texas Bluebonnets

Taking pictures in and around the bluebonnets is a Texas tradition, since they are the Texas State Flower. Every spring, when the bluebonnets are blooming, people pull off the sides of busy highways and take pictures. Kinda crazy; a little unsafe...but you can't argue with tradition. This year, we kicked it up a notch. Since hubby is a pilot and part-owner of a small plane, and none of the other partners were flying last weekend, we decided to take off (literally) after church on Sunday, and get our bluebonnet pictures done. Our pictures were taken between the taxiway and runway of a small airport. Yes, you read that right. BETWEEN the taxiway and runway. We're nuts. Anyway, here are just a few pictures....

I was going to post more individual pictures of the girls, but Blogger will only let me upload five pics at a time, so I'll make a separate blog post for each girl. Later.

Safety disclaimer: no airplanes were using the runway while we were next to it. Haha...had y'all going there for a minute, didn't I?

Kittens!

Last Thursday, our cat, Emily.........

had kittens!
This picture was taken when they were just one day old.

Happy birthday, Kitty!

First of all....a pic from Easter Sunday, just before church......

♥

Yesterday was Kitty's third birthday! I didn't make a fancy cake, just cupcakes, because that's what she wanted. But here are a few pictures of the presents:

♥

A sundress and a plush bunny from an aunt and uncle

Five dresses(one is for church) from Grandpa O.

a Snow White dressup dress from Daddy

There were other presents, of course, but those ones were the best. ;)

Visiting family!

I'm in Kansas, visiting my family. ☺ The girls and I are having a blast. My sister has brought her girls over every day that we've been here, so it's been pretty wild. Here's a little sampling of what we've been up to....

I haven't had much knitting time, and what I've had was mostly spent tinking. I dropped a stitch on my Adamas shawl, and it fell several rows. I tried to pick it up, but since it was lace, there were yarnovers and decreases in the way, and that just made it worse. I hadn't used lifelines, so I couldn't just rip. I had to tink back about 5 rows, before I was able to pick up the stitch properly. Now I've caught back up to where I was before I messed up. I think I'll finish this repeat, then put it aside to work on Surf.

In case I don't get time to be on the computer tomorrow.....Happy Easter! I hope you have a wonderful Resurrection Day celebration. ☺
