Happy Birthday Mom!!!

We went to see Mom for her birthday!  All of your cousins were there and we had birthday cake and played outside!  You had a wonderful time with Mom, Gran, Gramp, Aunt Dene, Aunt Julie and all of your cousins!!!

So Blessed to be your Mama!!!

I had a wonderful Mother's Day with you and Daddy!  We went to church and then went to eat Mexican with Ames and Caroline.  After a long nap, we went up river to the sand bar!  Such a fun afternoon!!  After swimming and playing, we went to eat at Philips!  The Seagos and Burchfields were also there and we had a great time visiting and dancing!!!


You LOVED chasing this lizard at lunch!





Dancing at Phillips with the band!

Fun evening at the Segrest's

We went to the Segrest's with the McKenzie's to fry fish a few weekends ago.  You had so much fun jumping on the trampoline, riding the John Deere and swinging.  Mommy is so thankful for these sweet friends!!!

Happy Birthday sweet Caroline!!!

Caroline's party was a few days before her birthday and on her actual birthday, we celebrated with her again.  We met her at Build A Bear and you "built" a cat!  Then we went to McAllisters to eat lunch and feed the ducks!

Happy Easter!

"Oh Glorious Day"


Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away.
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh Glorious Day, Oh Glorious Day!

Easter morning, you were so excited when you saw that the Easter bunny had come to see you.  You ran down the stairs at Gran to find lots of Easter goodies!!!




After you played with all of your Easter happies, we got ready for church!  And of course, Mama had to have a photo session before!!!

 I LOVE this picture of you and Daddy!!!
You are beginning to smile when I ask you to for a picture and I am so excited about that.  This is one of your big smiles when Mama said "Smile!"  LOVE it!!!

On the way home from church, Daddy found a turtle in the road and stopped the car to get out and get it!  You were so excited!!! 




After lunch, we went to Mom's to celebrate Easter and Gunnar's birthday with the fam!!!  Gran had lots of eggs filled with candy for y'all to find!!   After the egg hunt, we had cake and ice cream for Gunnar's birthday!!!  We had a wonderful afternoon with our family!!!

After cake and ice cream, everyone went outside to play.  Gran gave everybody a water gun and it didn't take long for all the kiddos to get soaked!  You had so much fun running from your cousins and "eating" your water gun!!!


After a while, the water guns just weren't getting everybody wet enough, so you all gathered around this dish pan of water and took turns sticking your head in!!!






Easter Fun

Dyeing eggs with Julz!!!
I'm sure you can tell by the smile on your face in these pictures that you loved dyeing eggs!  For some reason you loved the blue egg best.  You did not want to put it down.  And boiled eggs still remain one of your favorite foods so you had to eat several right after you dyed them!!!

You also had your Easter party at Lakeside this week. Mommy is slacking this year and I had not even bought you an outfit to wear for your Easter party.  So the night before the party, I stayed up late designing and printing your tee shirt and making you an Easter bucket to match!  You were thrilled the next morning when you saw them and couldn't wait to put your "Easter chick" shirt on!  You had a wonderful time at your party and this year you actually "found" more than one egg!!! 

We LOVE our Lakeside Family!!!

We went to the river to see Gran and Gramp and you were able to go to another Easter egg hunt.  FBC of Pickensville had an egg hunt and we went with Gran to find more eggs! 





Taking off to find eggs!!!

After the egg hunt, we went to the museum to look at the animals!!! 
 You also dyed eggs with Gran and ate more than you dyed!!!
