He Lives!



 Last weekend was about as close to perfection as one could get.  We spent Easter weekend in Florence with Carrie.  The weather was amazing and we all spent most of our time outside enjoying God's beautiful creations.  We all got to town Friday and had a yummy chicken dinner where they had live music.  We all enjoyed dancing around! 

Saturday the boys played golf and us ladies headed out and about.  UNA's campus had beautiful tulips blooming so we went to visit the lions (of course) and the girls cooperated for some pictures in their new dresses from RoRo.  We then drove over to Tuscombia and spent the afternoon shopping and playing at the most wonderful park.  That night we celebrated an early birthday for Dad and Carrie with dinner at Rosie's and cake!

Then came Easter Sunday!  One of my favorite days of the year.  I love the promise of Easter and I LOVE an Easter service.  We stayed in a hotel for the weekend and Morgan was in heaven.  She didn't even mind when the Easter Bunny had to leave the baskets outside the door!  That sneaky bunny.  Our service had beautiful music and lunch was yummy.  But my girls were precious in their dresses.  We are thankful for so much and one of those is RoRo and her sewing skills!

What a wonderful weekend.  And what a wonderful Lord we serve!

Hunting Some Fun

Last week Morgan's sweet class had their Easter party and Reeves' mom hosted it for us.  It was a perfect day for a party!  The kiddos had a blast hunting eggs, eating lunch and running around like crazy.  Macie and I got to come and play as well and it was fun to watch Morgan play with the others.  We had big fun!

 Mary Tannler and Morgan.  These two girls are the best of friends.  Mary Tannler got to ride with us to the party and Morgan was thrilled!  They sang "Let It Go" at the top of their lungs the whole way there.  I think it was Morgan's perfect day!

A Super Day

This past weekend was perfection.  On Saturday we took the girls to Starkville to spend the day on campus for Super Bulldog Weekend.  The weather was perfect and we could not have asked for anything better!  Jeff went to the Spring Football game while the girls and I met Carrie at the Arts Festival downtown.  Later in the day we all went to play with baby Patton!  We then capped off the day with a baseball game.  Yes, we were 4 of the 15,586 to watch our Bulldogs beat Ole Miss in 10 innings!  The largest on-campus crowd in college baseball history!  We ran into my big sis from Chi Omega, Meg, and she happened to have some extra chairback seats.  So we actually got to sit and see the game!  Our girls did great and we stayed the whole time.  The only melt down we had was when Morgan realized I forgot her pom poms at home.  Whoops!  The girls were precious in their outfits RoRo made them.  How lucky are we to have her?  After dinner the girls rode home in their pajamas and we were all worn out by our fun day!

 

We're here!

 Go Bulldogs!

A Little Mommy "Staycation"

Last weekend I had a "staycation" in Jackson with my girls...and what fun we had!!  We had really been missing each other so the easiest was meeting in Jackson.  Stephanie and Kathryn live there so it made sense.  We did miss Ashley since she couldn't come!  But we had a great weekend and called her often so she felt like she was there!  We started with dinner Friday night with just us girls...and many margaritas!  Kathryn and I even stayed in a hotel Friday night, complete with our own beds with no kids or snoring husbands!  And the Embassy Suites served us well.  They even had free happy hour which we poured in coffee cups to take it to go!  Haha!  Saturday we all just bummed around town and then we brought the boys in for a date night at Shapleys.  It was so yummy!  Sunday we braved Chuck E Cheese with the kids and had a blast watching them run around.  It was a great weekend and I am so thankful for 14 years of friendship from these wonderful friends.

This picture is perfection.  Not one kid is looking at the camera!  That's what we get for trying to wrangle six kids under the age of 4!
