HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sweetie

To my wonderful husband, whom I love very much:

I hope your birthday is filled with lots of happiness and all the things that make you happy (no, that doesn't mean you get to play golf today. It better mean you want to spend your day with the kids and me:)) I love you and wish you the best 33rd birthday ever!!!!

Love,

Amanda, Mary-Beth, and Lane

The end of the soccer season has come!

We had a soccer party at Glenwood Circle Park. Lots of snacks and playing. Mary-Beth received her soccer trophy and Lane even received an honorary member trophy. He was very excited about this. After the trophy ceremony the kids got together for a photo of the team.

A Totally Rad 80's Night

We had an 80's night for the 20's and 30's age group at our church. We had a fun time remembering back to when we were in high school. It brought so many memories. Here are a couple of pictures from the night. Every dressed up, from scrunchies, layered socks, leg warmers, leggings, colored pantyhose, tight rolled jeans, boom boxes, side pony tails, tons of bracelets, to big hair. It was so funny.

Here are pics from our trip to Orlando, Fl.

We had a really great time and got plenty worn out:)

Poor Lane had to wear Mary-Beth's shirt on this ride because we had just left the swimming area and he left his short with the strollers. We had already stood in line to get on and we didn't want to do it again just to get a shirt so we put MB's extra shirt on him.

Gretta was so proud of herself when she finally got the nerve up to jump off the side of the pool!

Thanks Nana and Papa for a great trip!!!! Hopfully we can get rid of all the sicknesses we brought backwith us. Oh- say a little prayer for Lee, he had to have surgery today to remove his gallbladder. He had pain last night and at midnight they took him to the baptist emergency room.

A "Muddy Monday"

Will spent most of the weekend tilling our yard and adding seed to it so we can try and grow some grass this summer. On Sunday afternoon, he had to get out in the mud and finish spreading the seed and fertilizer. In doing this, he left mud all over the carport and driveway. So today I was outside washing off my carport and driveway and the kids were splashing in the water. I went inside to answer the phone and came back out. Well I guess I should have not left them alone with such a temptation so close. They were covered in mud. It was quite funny. When I had to hose them off to get them in the house for a bath they screamed because the water was freezing.

Such an Eventful Weekend

We started the weekend off with a great birthday party at Gatti Town, for Addison. It was a blast. The only interesting part was transporting Addison's birthday cake from my house to the party. (only an hour away). I was a nervous wreck the whole ride.



Next, on Saturday morning, we had an Easter egg hunt at the Art Park. Rachelle came down to go with us. Lane was a little "go getter" out there.








After the Easter egg hunt there, we headed to Toby's family's house for a cook out and egg hunt. There was all kids of animal and things for the kids to do. It was alot of fun.



Sunday, the kids of course woke up and saw what the Easter bunny brought and we got ready for church.



We ended the weekend at Mary and Keith's house. Thank you, God for such a great Easter Weekend.
