What a Weekend!!

Whew!! What a weekend. It seems that instead of the school year slowing down and anxiously awaiting summer, we find the month of May is so stinking busy! We enjoyed a little bit of "roughing it" with the Doucettes on Friday night as they invited us to their land to shoot skeet and fireworks. THe girls had never heard of skeet much less seen their father shoot a gun. They just kept staring. They got to run in the woods, ride in the back of trucks and enjoyed a great display of fireworks. If you know G he doesnt do ANYTHING small

Saturday we attended the Mother Daughter Brunch with Bunga. It was a really great time where girls 7 and older and their mothers can enjoy a time to dress up and brunch together. Bunga hosts a table every year, and the hostesses always go all out. She used Nannie's wedding china and had a fantastic spread waiting for us.




A special shout out to the H family for indulging us for dinner. That Mom made a fabulous cake that had us all raving. I think Kendall found a friend and has not stopped talking about him!!

Mother's day found the Quick girls in Houston and I really think this has been one of my most favorite Mother's days. I spent it working alongside my family, laughing, sweating,singing, giving my Mom exactly what she wanted for a present and has been waiting for for way too long.

And Kendall Makes Three...

Kendall's school held a family fitness day. The day started off with a mile run/walk and went on to different activity stations. Kendall ran the whole time!! Well maybe we can be the family that runs together!! It was really cute to see all the kids so tickled to play alongside their parents. I honestly don't know who had the better workout, us or the kids??!!! My words just don't do the day justice. Check out the pics to see how much fun it was.

I did it!!

Ok so the deal was I asked David to run with me in the 5K, but he wanted to see me cross the finish line, so I made him promise to do a guest post. Little did I know that he would write some crazy things. First of all, I did not smoke some of my friends, rather they smoked me and secondly, I will not be going out for the IronMan in Hawaii.
This was a huge feat in itself and I'm still in shock I actually did it. Thankfully there were no tears at the finish line. What a suprise to find that my family had come up from Houston to meet me at the end. A huge thank you to my running angel Kendall who if she could, would have ran the whole way with me. She was so sad she had to stay behind. I think I have a running partner in the making!! To all of the people who cheered and encouraged me to keep at it, I thank you. My friends are already talking about doing another one. As for me, we'll just have to wait and see....

Nichole ran a 5K. I cannot believe it. I am so impressed and proud of her. She trained really hard for it and was really nervous but she did great. She smoked some of here friends that ran with her. Kendall started and finished with Nichole. Kendall ran some in the middle of the race aswell, totaling about a mile. Nichole virtually sprinted the last 200 yards. It was a very impressive finish. I will let you know when she signs up for the Iron Man in Hawaii.

Peace out
Dave

Easter 2009

Easter was fabulous this year. We went to Houston to celebrate with my fam and attempted to take a family pic. Due to the unhappiness with our shots, it looks like we will have to wait and take another one in September. Nonetheless we had a great time hunting for eggs and then cracking some, however, my plan backfired and the girls got me!! Sunday we joined the Quicks back in College Station and there were so many eggs that they had to use both front and back yards. The girls even swam!! How blessed we are to be surrounded with so many loved ones. These are certinly memories to cherish.

finally!!

my sister took this pic and many more from the rose emporium and I'm so glad she did. This is my brother and all the little darlings...

He did it....again!!

You know when he set his mind to something, he can't get enough. David raced in the Dansby Duo which was a 5k and then a 12 mile bike ride and then anotther 5k after that. Ouch! He said it was really hard, but got to race along side Jeremy Dewitt for a porton of the race which made it a little fun(what part of it was fun??)


commin in for the finish..


go Jeremy!!


He doesn't even look tired!!


sooo sweet....
