Park Day with Friends

We ended our spring break week with a play date at the park with Lyda and Davis. Caroline and I have job shared this year, and her kids are precious. Lyda wasn't really feeling the whole picture taking thing, but Davis didn't have much choice!

Although we won't be job sharing next year, I still plan on lots of park play dates in the future!!!

Spring Break- Mountain Style

After a winter full of sickness, we couldn't wait to bust our of Madison for a few days during Spring Break.

I talked to several different people that recommended Wilderness at the Smokies. Since it was somewhere we had never been, we decided to head that way.

The resort was awesome. It had 3 water parks, But 2 of them were closed. There was plenty for them to do at the indoor waterpark, and the kids had a blast going down all the slides.

They also had an indoor arcade, rock climbing wall, ropes course, lazer tag, putt-putt...and more. Needless to say, it kept the kids busy.

We did take the kids to a go-cart track on our last afternoon just to switch it up a little bit. Addie Grey was worn out and fell asleep on my shoulder while the kids rode and rode. There was no one there, so they had their pick of the tracks for as many times as they wanted.

It was a great few days away with my parents and our family of five. I think it made us all that much more excited to go to the beach this summer though!

Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was really busy. It started off on Friday with an Easter egg hunt for Addie Grey at Mrs. Brandi's house. The kids also had a pajama day on Friday, and they all looked super cute in their pj's!

 It is so hard for me to believe that Addie Grey is now one of Mrs. Brandi's "big kids". I'm used to her being the baby there, but she's now one of the oldest. Breaks my heart just a little.

 Friday night we hung out at the park while Tripp had travel ball practice. Then Tripp spent the night with a friend and Makinley had a friend spend the night with her. Saturday morning we had to rush around delivering, picking up, going to the store (and fitting in a run) before heading to our Sunday School class's Easter egg hunt.

 We love our class, and we've gotten really involved over the last year or so. We had almost 100 people including all the kids at the hunt. It was a great time of fellowship!

 Sunday morning we got up and got ready for church and the kids got their baskets. I kept it very simple this year with their baskets. I usually do beach stuff, but this year, I just did devotionals, a toy and a little bit of candy. The kids were just fine with it.

 After we got home, the kids anxiously waited for everyone to get there. I told them we weren't going to die eggs until Bear got there, so they had been eyeing the kit all week.

 We took a few pictures on the porch before eating lunch and having an easter egg hunt. This picture cracks me up. It is so real life as we try to get a good picture of mom and dad with all the grands. Tripp's face is seriously crazy.

 I love these people.

 After not napping all day, Addie Grey hit the sack early Sunday night. But, she insisted on sleeping in the new shirt GiGi gave her, and with the flip flops she got.

It was a wonderful day celebrating our risen Savior.
