Breckinridge Rezfest – Mercy Me
Wow! What a night at Breckinridge! If you didn't make it to the Rezfest this year, put it on your to do list for next year. The artists put on an awesome show. Kids, teenagers, adults, grandparents - all ages were there. 3,425 people attended.
At the start of the concert, there were fireworks and the National Anthem was sung. Glen Dry then announced that different youth groups came out the night before and prayed in each row of seats for the people that were there tonight. I thought to myself how moving it is that our youth did that.

Easter Eggs and Easter Traditions
Easter is almost here. I can’t wait to have all the kids over hunting for eggs and my favorite part the confetti eggs. When I was a little girl, we used to always find the perfect batch of wildflowers and take pictures in them with our baskets and Easter Bunnies. My twin sister Kelly enjoys when our grandma fills Easter Eggs with money which sometimes are dollar bills in them to hunt. It’s quite a scene to see us big grandkids hunt eggs but boy, is it fun. Families all have different traditions for Easter. Here are a few traditions people have.

Facebook – What You Can Learn
Facebook is the largest social network. I mean, is there really any others out there? And we all wonder what we did before it. Some of us update our status, some people pretend not to look at Facebook and won’t admit that they really do, all the time... stalking. And some us are actually using it as a tool to keep up to date with folks we wouldn’t otherwise have time to chat with on the phone as often as we’d like.
We will all admit we learn things about others. Sometimes, it's things we didn’t really want to know.

‘Secret Millionaire’ Doesn’t Fail To Inspire
I just got done watching 'Secret Millionaire' and all I can say is WOW.
My dear friend Monica Lassmann had told me about the show and how touching it was so I decided to watch it. This week's show was about Gary and Diane Heavin who are the co-owners of 'Curves'.
Gary and Diane left their wealthy lifestyles behind to spend a week in Houston's poverty-stricken Third Ward. They were given $6.50 per day to use for food while they were on their journey.

A Bet, a BBQ, a Bunch of Bald Heads
A bet is a bet, right?
The Nasty Cookers BBQ Team entered a BBQ cook off at Colet Inn this past weekend. The cook off benefited LJ Chumchal, who is battling Hodgkins Lymphoma. The bet was that if the Nasty Cookers won, they would allow LJ to shave their heads.

Spring Break, A Lake, And A Bike [VIDEO]
Spring Break isn’t just for kids its for adults, too. Matt Apodackis is a guy who can pull off some crazy stuff... he rode a bike off a fishing pier into the lake this past Sunday. I think the funniest part was his first try when he didn’t make it to the lake and fell over. I felt bad for laughing because he was a little injured but he was a good sport and got back up and tried one more time. When he did finally did ride into the lake it was pretty funny. Here watch it for yourself.

How Are You Spending Spring Break?

Springtime is Here!
I am so happy it's almost spring time. You know what that means! Time to get outdoors and soak up the sunshine. I have to agree with my cousin Sarah in that I love driving by and seeing all these kids playing baseball. It's so rewarding to watch the kids advance from the first practice to the last game; from the kid who picked flowers in the outfield to catching the pop fly at the final game.
One of my girlfriends, Monica, enjoys the wildflowers, sunshine, time spent at the Riverwalk, rodeo, and just generally being outdoors. When she mentioned wildflowers, it reminded me of Easter time and how my mom would put my twin sister and me in matching dresses with our Easter baskets and then go find the prettiest wildflowers to take a photo by.

Our Pet Of The Day: Caesar
Pugs have a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, large expressive eyes and curled tail. Caesar is my husband’s dog and is a pug.
Caesar is the most loveable dog you could ever meet. When our friend’s children come over he will let them sit on him, dress him up, love on him, whatever they want to do to him.
