Baseball

After some debate this spring Collin decided to play baseball again.
He is again playing catcher.

He's team has not had that great of a season, but along with that comes a few really good life lessons! Collin is extremely competitive, so this has been a hard season for him! He often tells me that he is not going to play baseball next year.....I guess we will just have to wait and see!

PULL!

Austin sot trap again this year for our school. Shooting is something he really enjoys doing and is very good at!

His squad placed 3rd in regionals and advanced to the State competition. The State tournament is a NCAA March maddness style bracket. You start the day with 64 teams and end with 1 winner.

At State they made it to the Elite Eight! They placed 5th in the state after being beat out by another squad from our school! That squad went on to win!!

Gary Don took off work to take Austin to both tournaments! Great Father son bonding time!

Projects

It all started with widening the doorway between the dinning room and the kitchen! That meant we would need to fix the tile around the new doorway.... I have always hated the white tile......so we decided to bust it up!

The new going in.






The tile is almost completely down, we just need to grout.

The next project is the cabinets.....






We have these color samples on 4 of our living room walls......
Not sure we like any of them!?!?

We do projects like these in very slow stages so don't hold your breath waiting for the completed photos!

Easter 2011

After church on Easter we headed to Mimi and Papa's for a yummy lunch! Even though it was cold and rainy we took a few pictures!

Daddy's girl!

When did he get so tall? He is just about as tall as his Dad now!


I love this picture of Collin! It is hard to get a good picture of him. He hates to have his picture made, a rarely has a real smile.

Snaggle tooth!

Cousins! These two are fuuny together!

Sisters!
Can't believe Haley will graduate in a few short weeks!
Just imagine one starting college in the fall and one starting Kindergarten!
oops didn't realize Addison was cut out of the picture!


The oldest grandkids!

Paige Elizabeth Curry

On March 29, 2011 Paige Elizabeth turned 7!!! (that is how far behind I am on blogging!!)

That also means it has been 7 years since our family made the decision to move to Greenwood from Palestine Tx. Gary Don accepted a job on Sunday night and Paige was born on Monday!

Proof that deep down Collin really does love his sister! Notice Collin's
hair, he always wanted it "spiked up"! Now he will barely let me touch it!
Our first picture as a family of 5!


Here is Paige on her 1st day of kindergarten.

This year Paige wanted her party at Bell Park. (I loaded the pictures out of order) We painted clay pots and planted marigolds in them for the girls to take home.

Paige and Caylee Ciesla





The silly birthday crew!

Our beautiful birthday girl! Happy Birthday Paige! I can't imagine our family with out you!!

Spring Break 2011

A long weekend in Branson, great weather, and several firsts for the Curry family!

That is what was on tap for our spring break!

When went to the Dixie Stampede(a Curry family 1st), and to Silver Dollar City.

The Dixie Stampede was really neat, and the food Delicious! They give you a ton of food, and of course Austin ate every bite he was given!

Collin trying out the cowboy look in the Stampede gift shop.

We went to Silver Dollar City for 1/2 day Saturday and Sunday! Saturday the weather was a little on the cool side, so after a quick stop at the outlet mall for some sweat shirts, we were off to ride the coasters! Paige was a little nervous at first but came through like a pro! She rode everything, except Wildfire (which she is not tall enough to ride).



She even pulled Austin up the grain silo! WOW she is strong!

Collin and Gary Don on the Giant Barn Swing. Gary Don said this ride is not for the faint of heart!

Gary Don, Collin, and Austin (not pictured) on Wildfire!

This is the boys favorite ride! They rode it about 5 times in a row at closing time on Sunday!

Collin and Paige made wax hands for souvenirs. Collin did his in the shape of a C, and Paige did a peace sign. They turned out pretty cool.

We bought season passes to SDC and are planning many more trips this year!

Bright future

Paige brought this paper home from school a few weeks ago.

For as long as I can remember she has always said she is going to be a baby Doctor when she grows up! I think she has maybe been watching a little to much TLC!
