Our Family Circus: Part 2 of Catching Up

I'm back to catch up on the rest of 2016 so far :)

Rhett is a great dad and took the day off on St. Patrick's day to bring the girls to the Houston Rodeo. They were on Spring Break.

Their favorite part of the rodeo was the mutton busting (google it) and Charlotte has convinced us to let her do it next year. We shall see if she sticks to her guns on that one.

Emery had his first haircut back in March. The picture above was "the after." "The before" involved a nice little mullet in the back, and the front looked amazingly like the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls circa 1998. Below is another "after"...so much better!

We hosted our annual Easter Egg Hunt, the day before Easter, at our house. We really, really, really missed our old Virginia friends, but the Texas hunt was so fun!

The picture below is mostly our neighbors, plus Charlotte's best friend, Rhea, who is standing to the right of Charlotte, and Caden, Cate's first grade crush. Caden is in the blue and yellow Under Armor sweatshirt, in case anyone is interested :) Oh, also pictured is a bunny piñata in the middle.

Why a piñata at an Easter Egg Hunt, you ask? I will tell you. My awesome neighbor, Denisse, has two boys, Brian and Kevin. They're so much fun to be around and there is always something going on at their house. You can roll up there and find a giant bounce house or a snow cone machine in their yard randomly, just because. Denisse ALWAYS brings a piñata to events. Kid's birthday party? Piñata. Neighborhood fiesta? Piñata. Fourth of July? Piñata. Christmas Day? Piñata. You get the idea. Girl loves an excuse.

Next, we must get to the Final Four. Once Rhett found out that the Final Four was in Houston, he decided that no matter what, he would get his brother and dad here to watch the games, should the Heels make the playoffs. At the same time, I am pretty sure his brother and dad decided they were going to get to Houston come hell or high water.

Well, my friends, God had a plan and it was called the Tarheels Make the Final Four. Luckily Josh had airline points so that took care of travel expenses. Rhett's good friend is a UNC alumni and was able to find three seats for Rhett to buy in the Carolina section. It all came together beautifully, although I have expunged the last seconds of the final game from my memory ;) Here are some pictures...
