Getting Ready

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday Alexa!! She woke up at 6:30 Friday morning and said "when does my birthday start?" Here she is getting things ready for her party and after her hard work was done she treated herself to a cheeto while she waited for her friends! We had 7 little friends come over for lunch and cake. Speaking of cake, Alexa and I made hers. I ended up with a massive cramp in my hand from piping on the frosting but it was worth it!!

Toys

 

 

 

 

Okay, so Bryce does like blocks and balls, not just Barbies! He's becoming Mr. Mobile, getting into just about everything now. Army crawling and pulling himself up to a standing position.

Aunt Judy

 

When I was little, my world revolved around 3 women: my mom, my grandma Ally and my Aunt Judy. Just wanted to send a "Happy Mother's Day" shout-out to this very special lady! We don't get to see her enough but I think of her often.

Muffins For Mom

 

 

 

 

I was treated to some Mother's Day muffins at Alexa's school last week. You can see she was very proud of the handprint plaque she created. A present I'll treasure forever!

Happy Mother's Day

 

 

A very Happy Mother's Day to both of our moms. We're so lucky to have you both!! XOXOXOX

Hero Day

Greg's girlfriend, Danielle, works at the YMCA and the kids were celebrating "Hero Day". She offered the suggestion that they make cards for Greg and the rest of his unit in Iraq. The results were some of the most precious works of art that I've seen in a long time. The last one is a picture of a mom and when the teachers asked the little girl who made it why she drew a mom she said "Well if I was that far away from my home I know that seeing a picture of my mom would make me feel better!" So sweet!

Taste of Spring

 

 

 

 

Great weekend here. Friday Ally got to miss school to perform with her fitness team at 3 area schools. 6 performances that day and 2 more at local festivals on Saturday. Sunday Brent and Ally headed out early to the Wachovia tournament. Back when we lived in Clemson, Brent used to golf with a couple guys on the golf team who are now pro. He got to chat with them for a few minutes at the tournament. I think he was hoping they'd ask him if he'd like to change careers to professional caddy! No luck, he's back to the world of corporate business today. My crazy kids went swimming yesterday. Actually just Ally and Brent. Alexa, Bryce and I thought they were both nuts!
