It's a Zoo Out There!

Morgan had a day off school so we decided to have an adventure! I packed the girls up and took them to the Memphis Zoo. We got there after lunch and had so much fun that we stayed until it closed! It really was a beautiful day outside and we all three enjoyed our time there. It was a great day!

See you soon Memphis Zoo!

Wet and Wild Washington D.C.

When your Grandma wants to take a trip with her girls you always say, "Yes!" When she wants to go the next weekend, you say, "What about in the spring?" But you definitely make the plans! Grandma wanted to go to Washington D.C. since she hadn't been there in years. Grandma, Mom, Carrie and I packed our bags (and umbrellas) and met in the city. We had a great time playing tourist! But most importantly we had a great time just making memories. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to have those memories to add to our heart. I can't wait until we plan our next trip!

It rained all day! But that didn't stop us!

Fun in the Smithsonian's

A first for me- the Washington Cathedral

They had a kite festival around the Washington Monument and it was amazing!

The sun finally came out so we could see the cherry blossoms

Spring Break Shenanigans

This year for Spring Break the girls and I took our annual trip to Mom and Dad's, only this year Stephanie and her kiddos met us there! We had an absolute blast! I think it took a total of five minutes before all four kids were running around as the best of friends. Watching the kids of your best friends play is a joy I will never get tired from. The weather was so cold! I hated that we couldn't enjoy the sand more, but we found our fun anyway. Honestly I could have spent all day inside with Stephanie catching up and would have been just fine! But we got the kids out of the house a bit to get the wiggles out!

Later in the week Jeff joined us for the last of our trip. He got some golf in and some yummy food so he was happy. And my sweet Daddy gave me his ticket so I could go with Mom to see Luke Bryan! I swear, Mom and I have the best time at concerts! And Luke did not disappoint either. We ended our trip with a perfect day on the beach. Another great time at the beach!

Who enjoyed the s'mores more? Clayton, Macie, Morgan or Brennan?

A little park time was in order

What fools wanted ice cream on this cold day?

This was the best pose I could get in the chilly wind

Such a cold day on the beach! We didn't last long.

Might be my new favorite

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Beach time!

February Fun

The rest of February ended with a bit of fun and a first!

Macie had her first dentist appointment and did great!

We cheered on our lady Bulldogs with a sell out crowd!

Throw Me Something Mister!

What a weekend! Truly one for the books. You know when things just kinda come together and it works out perfectly? That was this weekend. When we realized both big kids had a long weekend we asked Mom and Dad if we could take over their house for the weekend. Thankfully they were all for it!

We got to town early on Friday and let the kids play while Dad grilled dinner for us. Saturday we took the kids to the train museum in Foley and then we all drove to Fairhope for the Mardi Gras Parade! Oh my goodness this was so much fun! We got there early to grab a good spot and the kids were ready. The loot we brought home was unreal. Mom even caught a squeaky chicken! Haha! The parade came to an end, but not one person left. Apparently it was going to come around again! But thankfully the kids were happy to be done so we left quickly before the traffic. It really was so much fun.

Sunday was a perfect and beautiful day so we headed to the beach. I think we could have stayed there all day! You know how you have friends that are more like family? The Evans family is the perfect example of that. Our kids played so hard and so well all weekend long. And we didn't make too much of a mess at Mom and Dad's house! Ha! I think we may have established a President's Day tradition.
