I’ve decided to freshen up our site for spring. The weather is starting to get warmer and I wanted the site to reflect that. I’ve always thought that my last name is quite unique, so I wanted to make a play off of that by changing the site name to “Pick*nic.”
The new theme’s layout is based on Brian Gardner’s Vertigo theme, but as you can see, I’ve changed it up quite a bit. Feel free to let me know what you think in the comments. If everyone hates it, I’ll scrap it and start over!

This weekend we all went to see Billy wrestle in the State Tournament. This was only his first year in wrestling, but he did amazingly well! I was blown away by all of the huge guys he was wrestling and beating!
Since his school can only have one wrestler per weight class, Billy had to move up to the 171 LB. weight class, but he weighs about ten pounds less than that. So, he was essentially wrestling guys that were heavier and stronger than him, but he still beat them. AMAZING!
Billy’s last match was excellent. He pinned his opponent in the second round with only one second left on the clock. We were all yelling and going crazy, and Caleb even got in on the action. It was a lot of fun.
Billy, we are all very proud of you. Way to go!

This week we have had some very interesting weather. We woke up on Tuesday morning to a blanket of snow on the ground, which melted by Tuesday afternoon. Then on Wednesday, the temperatures were in the 60s. Finally, yesterday it snowed all day! It didn’t being to stick on the ground until around lunch time, but after that everything started looking so pretty.
When Caleb woke up from his nap, we all went outside to play! Grandma and Granddad came over to help us build a snowman. Caleb kept trying to tackle the snowman and knock him over! He’s a wild man! We had a lots of fun running around in the snow and throwing snow balls at each other. Caleb even threw a couple of snow balls at me!
I grew up in Houston, Texas, so I rarely ever saw snow. I do remember it snowing one time when I was a kid and my sister and I gathered up all of the snow in the front yard and back yard, and we had just enough snow to make a snowman about a foot tall! So, anytime it snows I always get pretty excited.
Now that we’ve gotten our obligatory snow for the year, I’m ready for spring. Bring on the warmer weather and the pretty flowers! Thank you God for all of the seasons!
