Havin' Fun in the Sun






Today was such a beautiful day and after the cold weekend we had last weekend, it was so nice to get outside and play. After naps this afternoon, we spent the rest of the day outside. Boy, are we tired tonight! But we had a great time. The kids love to swing. Wyatt and Addie especially would swing all day if we stayed out there. Randy took Will to tball practice this afternoon and Addie and Wyatt stayed in the swings. Addie was such a sweet big sister to push Wyatt for a while. She adores her baby brother. Actually, they all adore each other (most of the time! HA!) Randy was able to push them for a few minutes when he and Will got home and then he grilled us some steaks for supper. He is still recovering from c spine surgery almost four weeks ago and is doing great. The hardest part for him has been not being able to pick up the kids or play with them like he's used to doing. I'm so thankful to have a husband who is so very involved with the kids and who loves to play with them. We are so very blessed to have him for a husband and daddy!!

More Easter Pics






Just a few more Easter pictures to share.....

Easter Sunday






We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. The kids woke up early to see what the Easter Bunny brought them. They each got a sandbucket and shovel and a kite. Will and Addie each got a new watch and Wyatt got a little football. I think the Easter bunny knows that we're going to the beach later this year. We went to church and the service was awesome. After naps, we went to my parents house and spent the rest of the day with them. The Easter Bunny had also left a little happy for them at Mimi and Papa's house. They got McDonald's gift certificates and sunglasses for the beach. Mimi had made a bunny cake which was so cute...way to go Mimi!! You'll have to make that a yearly tradition! We want to make sure that the kids understand the real meaning of Easter.

Down at the Farm






Last Friday, we had the opportunity to go with our friends the Ashleys (Anne Marie, Sarah, and baby Carter) to a friend of theirs who has a farm in Byram. This sweet family let us come see their sheep and baby lambs and donkey. The kids had a great time and Will even got to hold a lamb! He loved that!! Wyatt didn't care for the lambs, he chose to ride the spring horse instead :)

Easter at the Ag Museum






Our annual Easter tradition is to go to the Easter Egg hunt at the Ag Museum. We had such a great time. It's such a great, family oriented event that the Ag Museum sponsors every year. The kids got to ride the ponies, the carousel, the train, play on the inflatables, we had hot dogs and sno cones for lunch, we had our picture made with the Easter bunny, and of course, the big event...the Easter Egg Hunt...which lasted all of 20 seconds. It's so cute to see the kids running for those eggs!! We had a wonderful time.

Spring Break 2008






Last week was spring break for us and we had a wonderful time! The kids and I headed to TN last Sunday after church to stay with Lala and Papaw for a few days. We started off the week by going to the Memphis Zoo last Monday. It was so cold!! The temp was in the mid forties with winds of about 25mph but despite the cold, we had a great time. We got to ride the tram, we saw giraffes, panda bears, and the polar bear. One of the pandas was out playing on the wooden playset and slid down the slide for us! It was so cute!
We also went to the Collierville town square, the Wolfchase Galleria where the kids got to ride the carousel and get their picture made with the Easter bunny. While we were there, we ran into an old friend, Julie, who used to be in our Sunday School class in Jackson before they moved to Memphis. It was so good to see her! Thank you Lala and Papaw for a great time in Tennessee!
