My Little Brother is Married!!!

It is hard to believe that Andrew is old enough to be married.  We had a few rough years, but Andrew has come such a far way and I am so proud of him.  I love that Celeste is apart of the family now and how happy they are together.  

Rehearsal Dinner...






The Beautiful Bride and Handsome Groom...




These two boys love each other.  They had so much fun playing with the choo-choo's at church and driving to the reception with Mimi.  When we were taking pictures, Wyatt kept pointing to the sparkles on my dress and saying, "Pretty.  Mama pretty."  It was super sweet.  This little boy was also quite the dancer on the dance floor.  Wyatt loves his Drew and Cici!   


Race at the Ranch

A few weeks ago, my school had our annual fundraiser.  It was a windy day, but we enjoyed the walk and Wyatt even got to see a firetruck!

Sandbox

I am so glad that Ana introduced Pintrest to me.  I have gotten so many ideas from it and the sandbox was just one of those ideas.  Growing up, we had a HUGE sandbox.  Jennifer, Andrew, and I had so much fun playing in it.  So one day looking through Pintrest I came across a neat sandbox.  I showed it to Leonard and he came up with some plans.

The beginning stages of the project...






Putting the sandbox together...







Almost finished, we just need to stain the wood and add the sand...



The finished project...







As you can see, this project became a huge family affair.  We couldn't have done it without them.  Wyatt loves his sandbox already and is going to have so much fun it! 




Spring Break Recap

Besides having an ear infection, Wyatt had a pretty good spring break.  There was building...





Eating chips and hot sauce...




Enjoying ice cream...





And visiting Great Granna with her fish and birds...

Love You Grandpa


Charles Hugh Kilgore passed from this earthly existence with peace to be with his Lord and Savior, surrounded by loving family and caregivers, on February 24, 2014. He was 90 years old. Chuck was born and raised in Erie, Pennsylvania during the Great Depression. After graduating high school with top grades and little money, he attended the University of Pittsburgh's Erie Extension until called into service by the Army Air Corps. Before his training as a radar bombardier on B-24 Liberators, he met Marjorie Terry at a formal ball in Houston, cutting in on her dance partner. Due to training and deployment to the Pacific, they did not see much of each other during their courtship; that did not hinder either's ability to write each other-often. Upon his return from the war, they were married in Houston and never were apart from each other again. Chuck resumed his engineering studies at the University of Michigan, earning his Chemical Engineering degree in 1948 due to hard work, a devoted wife, and the GI Bill. They moved back to Houston where he obtained his Masters in Chemical Engineering from Rice Institute in 1950 as a Shell Fellow. His professional career was focused on refining petroleum products, working for Shell, Crown Central, and Tenneco. He retired in 1982. Marge and Chuck then moved to San Antonio in 1990. Although he was an avid and enthusiastic golfer, the focus of Chuck's life was his faith and his family. He was an ordained Ruling Elder in the Presbyterian Church and served on the Session of churches in Arabi, Louisiana, Bellaire, Texas, and San Antonio, Texas. Most recently he was an active and faithful member of the Men's Bible Study and the Walkers Through the Bible Sunday School class at San Pedro Presbyterian Church. He was a life-long learner. Chuck's parents, a brother, and two sisters predeceased him. He is survived by Marge, his loving and devoted wife of 68 years; his daughter Mary Marcotte and her husband Mike of Houston; his son Bob Kilgore and his wife Debbi of San Antonio; grandson Matt Marcotte of New York City; granddaughter Meg Wagman, her husband Ross and their son Linus of Manchester, U.K.; granddaughter Jennifer Casey, her husband Curtis and their son George of San Antonio, granddaughter Erin Heinze, her husband Kevin and their son Wyatt of San Antonio, and grandson Andrew Kilgore and his fiancĂ©e Celeste Cardenas of San Antonio.

Rodeo Time

Kevin's family came to town for the stock show.  It was a fun day and Wyatt loved the animals.  First we saw the pigs...






Checking out the pigs being walked in the pin...





Wyatt was not so sure of the petting zoo.  He was fine with the animals behind the cage, but not that close to him. Plus it didn't help that a goat kid jumped up on Wyatt knocking him down.




Ponny Ride...



Watching barrel racing...




More pigs...







Wyatt's favorite part was seeing the sheep.  He was so excited!  Wyatt kept pointing to them saying, "Baa!"




Our little cowboy was super cute in his cowboy boots.  We can't wait to take him back next year!
