Egg Hunt

The kids were so excited to go to the Country Club Easter Egg Hunt. They enjoyed lots of games and a wonderful lunch. They even a magic show! Walker was brave enough to be one of the magician's helpers. Then they were off to hunt eggs. They both ended up with lots of goodies in their basket!

Spring Break 2010

Spring Break fun in the Sandestin sun!

Loving their bunk beds!

The kids were dying to jump on the bungee trampolines at Bay Town.

Bundled up for a round of put-put.

We a loved breakfast at "Another Broken Egg."

So glad that the pools were heated!!

Just relaxing with a good book!

We had a wonderful time in Sandestin for Spring Break! It was a little chilly most of the week, but we enjoyed the beach and (heated) pools. We headed to the outlet and put put on the day that it was cloudy and a little rainy. Of course, Scott won put put, but we all had a great time! Since Friday was sunny and warm, we decided to stay one more day. It was so nice on the beach building sand castles, hunting shells and playing football. We were all sad to say good-bye to the beach on Saturday morning and head back to the "real" world of school & work!

Sweet Meg

We welcomed sweet Meg into our extended family on Wednesday, March 3rd. We are so excited for Josh and Miley. We haven't seen Meg since she was in the nursery and couldn't wait to be able to hold her today. Anna Grace begged to hold her first. I almost couldn't get her to let me hold her! Walker just watched her and decided that he didn't want to hold her. He said she was really little. Meg is absolute precious! We are looking forward to watching her grow into all God plans her to be.

Just the Boys

Walker was so excited that Wesley came to spend the night Friday. Anna Grace spent the night with Wesley's sister, Kaylee Beth so the boys had the house to themselves. We ate supper at CiCi's Pizza and on the way out the door, the boys saw a gumball machine with fake teeth in it. They had more fun with those funky teeth! Later we went to see "The Tooth Fairy." They thought it was so funny wearing those teeth into the theater!
After the movie, the boys had a great time playing the Wii and then decided they wanted to sleep in a tent. So, we "built" a tent in the den! The boys even made it with different "rooms." Walker was very sweet to let Wesley sleep in the "big room!"
I was very impressed with the manners of these two boys. I heard lots of "yes mams" and "thank yous." They were also very kind to each other. Walker hasn't had many friends spend the night and I wasn't sure what to expect from boys. But so far, I've been very pleasantly surprised! (Of course, it may be because there wasn't a sister at the house to annoy!)

Hangin' with the guys'

I think Walker would have stayed outside all day Sunday! The weather was so nice and he had some buddies over to play. Houston, Sam and Charlie all ended up at our house that afternoon. They had a ball playing basketball, baseball, jumping on the trampoline and just doing what little boys do best - play! I am so glad that Walker has friends in the neighborhood to hang out with on the weekends!

Planet Project

Anna Grace came home with an assignment that is a mom's worst nightmare - a project!!! Luckily, we were given 1 week to complete the "Solar System Diorama" instead of a couple of days. It actually ended up being a pretty fun project for both Anna Grace and me. We researched the planets and came up with facts about each one. Once we figured out what size and color we needed for the planet, we got down and dirty with some foam balls and modeling clay. The tricky part was hanging each planet and finding a way to label them. We both think that it turned out really well - maybe we'll get an "A"!!

True Maroon!!

Scott and Walker headed to Starkville early Saturday morning to watch the Dawgs play. Two baseball games and 1 basketball game later Walker was completely tuckered out!

Happy Birthday Sweet Anna Grace

It is so hard for me to believe that it has been 9 years since God blessed us with our sweet Anna Grace. She is growing up before our eyes. Scott and I often comment that to us she should still be 2 years old - chubby and round. We have enjoyed every phase of her life and look forward to watching as she grows into all God has planned for her. Happy Birthday, Anna Grace! We love you!

Anna Grace's 9th Birthday Party

Our sweet birthday girl! I can't believe my little girl is nearly 9 years old! (Her birthday is actually this Friday.) We celebrated her big day a little early with a party with her closest friend. The girls had a great time hanging out, eating and opening presents. She was completely surprised when she opened the iPod Touch that her grandparents, D ad and I gave her. She has been talking about wanting one for months and planned on saving her money to buy one. After presents and cake, we piled in the cars and headed to the movies to see "The Tooth Fairy." The theater was really full, but they were able squeeze on the 2nd row! They loved it and laughed most of the movie. Scott and I are so thankful that Anna Grace is growing up with such a sweet group of girls.
