Could Someone Please Get Me a Tissue

Mary-Beth's class had a Mother's Day Tea for all of us mothers today. It was the most precious thing I have to say. Mary-Beth was so excited to get to dress up for school. She really surprised me on how well she did. She sang a part in the microphone and had a speaking part. My little girl is growing up. She is not such the shy little thing anymore. I know, I can't believe it. I cried and cried through the whole thing. I tell you one thing Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Jones worked there tails off on this thing. Thank you soooooo much!!!! We all sat down for a nice lunch following the program.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

I know I am a day late for posting, a little busy around here:) I love you and hope your day was a happy day.

I have been meaning tell the good news. Tracy is FINALLY getting married!!!. (JK Tracy).. John Austin proposed to her this passed weekend in Memphis. Here is a picture of her beautiful ring. Congratulations Tracy!!!!

Dad's Day Off

We were so glad daddy was off work today. He woke up this morning ready to be Mr. Mom. He made MB's breakfast and woke her up to get her dressed. He let me sleep in, thank you sweetie. He fixed MB's lunch and backed her book bag. They left for school while Lane and I slept. When he got back home we got to work. It was such a beautiful day so we decided to get the pool about to set it up. We ran to Home Depot and got sand to replenish the sandbox and mulch for the front flower beds. Meanwhile the pool was filling. The day was a success! We pick up MB early from school and got everything done in time to enjoy the rest of the day. Below are pictures of the kids swimming and the first one is a picture of Will and Lane chilaxing with the Nemos. Thanks daddy (Will) for such a productive day.

Miley resting after will practicing duck retrieving.

Happy Birthday DaddyToday was is my dad's birthday. We love you and hope that you had a great day Dad. We went to eat at El Sombrero after church . MB looks thrilled to have her picture made:) After eating we headed to Amy Stepp's wedding party at Lelia and Bill's house. I had to get their a little early to take the cakes. I promised I would post a picture of them. Here is the white cake, the picture of the chocolate cake did not turn out, sorry.

That afternoon we had a birthday party for my dad at my house. Here are a couple of picture from the party. We love you Daddy.

Friends, Family and a Relay

My weekend all ready has been so much fun. MB and I headed to Rachelle's house to watch her little girl in her school play on Friday morning. We spent the night Thursday so we would not have to get up too early, so the kids played at the sonic playground in Pearl on Thursday afternoon . It is a really good playground. After the play on Friday, which by the way Addison you did a great job and looked adorable, we took the kids to Rachelle's parents to go camping at Jellystone Park. They had so much fun. I ate lunch at Margaritas in Clinton with Rachelle. Next, I headed to V'burg to Relay for life. It was fun and very entertaining (your go "Brandy" (Brandon) for winning the pagent. I am now at home and need to get in bed but can't sleep because Will is at deer camp. I have to get up and make three cakes tomorrow, hummm... I wonder if I will get them all done with the lack of sleep that I have. I will add some pics later of this weekend. So good night to all:)

Dancing and Eating

Today we had my neighbors over for supper (Stella and Wayne). Stella is from Russia and Her parents have been in town for the past three weeks. I invited them all over before her parents left to go back home. They are all so sweet. There is definitely a language barrier. I wish so badly I knew how to speak Russian. We had a really good time and laughed alot. Aunt Tracy showed up. She did not know that we had company, but Mary-Beth was excited to see her. She got Ethan (Stella and Wayne's baby) and started dancing with the both of them. Ethan was smiling from ear to ear. Lane is out of town with my parents and Mason in Nashville, TN. They are having a great time. They went to the zoo today and swam with Papa and Nana (this is a big thing because my parents never swim). I miss that little boy. This my first week in a really long time to be at home for the most part of the day all by myself (after I drop MB off to school). What to do at home all by yourself. Hummmmm sleep sounds really good.

Happy Easter!!!

Our Easter weekend started off quite interesting. Thursday night all of the cousins played hard until late in the evening. Friday morning Lane woke up saying that his leg hurt him. I brushed him off because he is of course "Lane". About two hours later he came to me and said "but mom, my leg really does hurt me." I looked at it and it was very big and swollen. Rushed to doctor. He had cellulitus from a mosquito bite. (infection in the tissue). We got put on antibiotics and had to go back Saturday morning to make sure it was working. It did, thankfully. So we were able to go to the preschool Easter egg hunt. The kids loved it! My cousin, Caleb, and his wife, Melissa, came and Kathy and her family came to the hunt.

Here are the kids having an egg hunt at our house on Saturday afternoon with the 5 dozen eggs we died. Sorry, the egg dying pictures did not turn out. But they loved finding all of them.

We had a cookout with all of our family that came from Alabama and Will's family Saturday afternoon and the funniest thing happened. A parakeet flew to our roof line. Keith tried to catch it and then my Uncle Danny ended up catching it. So now we have a new pet. It was obviously someones pet that was in need of something to eat.

Here it is in a frog cage for the time being until the Easter bunny arrived with one the following morning. Than your Mamie actually for getting it for them.

Poor Mary-Beth woke up with fever Easter morning. You can see it in her pink checks. Today Lane is running fever! Poor thing!

This is the kids with there candy bunny teeth in. They looked so funny to me with them in.

This is a picture of a flower that Will's aunt Beverly gave us when his grandaddy past away last year. The blooms are huge!

I was taking the picture so I did not get in it. Next time I will have to do like you, Tina, and set a timer so people will know that I exist. Until next time don't forget the true reason for Easter! "He Is Alive"
