July 5th, Tick Tock, Girls' Swim

We had our annual July 5th supper and swim at John and Karrie's a day late this year. The boys played basketball the majority of the time. The little ones had a big time swimming. They are growing up too fast!

M went to "tick tock" for the first time. That's what all the kids call the cradle roll Bible class because they sing a song about it. She did great and seemed to like it. 

These girls had a big time swimming with the big girls at the girls' swim night at Karrie's. They have a good group of role models!

K's Pizza/Swim Party

John and Karrie hosted a boys' swim night at their house tonight so K and A planned their own party! They had pizza, swam, and watched part of a movie. These two girls are so funny! I hope their friendship lasts a lifetime. 

More Baseball

This boy loves playing ball! He was so excited that he didn't miss all of the make up games while we were on vacation. 

K got to sit in the dugout during one game. She's so sweet about going to all of the hot games.

We found friends one night. K was very happy to see G and J. We sat on the opposing side so they could visit. 

More May Fun

Shopping and ballgame watching...

all make for a long day. Sleepy baby!

K had a visit with the doctor for fever and congestion.

We visited Mimi and Poppy one day. The kids had fun playing!

Cousin A turned 5 so K got to celebrate with him!

IKEA, a Funeral, Worship

Mom, K, M, and I made a trip to Frisco to shop at IKEA. We at lunch at Cheesecake Factory and shopped til we dropped. The girls were SUPER! Mom and I got what we needed and a few things we wanted. It was fun but we were worn out when we finally made it home. I am excited to get the shelves all ready and set up in the playroom.

One down...

My sweet friend Erin's mother passed away. These girls and I go way back. All the way to kindergarten for some of us. Mrs. Florence was a special lady and will be missed. 

This pretty girl is wearing a fifty year old dress to worship. We love Mrs. Kathy's hand me downs!

Little bit does not like to sit still so we spend most of our worship time in the nursing room. She spits up and rolls around before finally falling asleep...sometimes. She'll get the hang of this sitting business before long!

Easter Party at School

K and I made cupcakes and cookies for J's school party. I promise I didn't let her lick any spoons until we were finished with them. M also helped by playing with her toys while we baked. She is such a trooper!

J had a fun time at his party. He is ready for egg dying now!

And just because...back wrinkles! <3 p="">

Sweet Friends and More Spring Break Fun

Over spring break, we got to spend a day at Amanda's. The kids had a blast playing together. The three big boys haven't seen each other in while because they are in school so they were excited. K and J are so sweet! I love listening to them play. We missed Brandie and her boys but we are hoping to do this again soon!

We made a calzone for lunch one day. We took it to Mamaw and Papaw's to share. It was pretty good!

There was a lot of playing outside at Mamaw's house. J and Luke also did a little fishing.

J was invited to his buddy C's 7th birthday party. He had a big time.

These two have matching dresses again. We found them on the trip to Florida and they are too sweet!

Beach Birthday Bash

Karrie is 40! We celebrated her big year by taking her to Navarre Beach for the weekend. It was cold, windy and perfect! The waves, sand, and salty sea smell were a great break for all of us. Thank you for letting me plan your fun weekend. Happy birthday, sweet friend!

Forty things we love about Karrie...pictures, memories, and notes from her children

This baby had her first big road trip and we a trooper. She liked the adult attention and the peace with no big brother and sister. 

Sleeping in the sunshine

The drive back was interesting. The weather started to get back about the time we reached Louisiana. We drove through a lot of snow and ice but we finally made it back. We also almost died in a car chase but that's another story for another day.
