it's a wonderful thing when he wakes up in a good mood

happy spring day

love him

rose from mimi and poppa's yard of the month...oh yeah

she picked out her own outfit for a dinner out

this was hard for me

she named herself the cutest one in the family

umm...

why are they always naked and where did they all come from?

artist at work

i told grace she could eat half a donut since she ate her dinner...looks like we need to work on fractions

we have this kitty cat that randomly appears in our house

"meow!!!"

he really is this cool

she scored 3 goals at her very last soccer game of the season

"wow!  that's a lot of pizz-e" says carter

my dinner date

he was being so cooperative that i even let him eat some candy.  although, it took me a long time to figure out what "hee-how candy" was!

daddy's last soccer game of the season...he had the cutest fan club (and the loudest, and the wildest, and the wore their momma out the most-est)

have a happy summer weekend!

take me out to the ball game

This weekend, we had a fun time at a Memphis Redbirds game.

The boys watched the game while the girls watched the people, the food, the people eating the food, and played with the camera.

Grandpa and Grandma invited us to come along with them and the Taylor fam.

We, for real, had a great time!

Grandpa bought Grace some cotton candy (the last in the stadium) and she happily shared with all the kids and her momma.

silly kiddos

wassup?!?

awww!

After we used about 12 baby wipes to clean the layers of cotton candy off us all, we got ice cream.  Those baseball cap bowls have been used multiple times a day since the game and every time Carter tries to wear it on his head.  Sometimes with food in it and sometimes without.

After the game, we stayed for a great fireworks show!

Grace loved it, but I think she liked sitting with Steph more than the fireworks.

Carter said they were loud and hurt his ears, but he smiled a little.

We had a super fun time!  We all left the game with a smile on our face, a song in our mouth and, a dance in our feet!!!

summer break...we made it!!!

I am beyond excited that school is out!  May was hard for me this year and I am super thrilled to be out of school!  Although, it is hard to believe that Grace has finished her "pre-school career!"  She was excited for her last day of school, but sad to be leaving her teacher and friends.

She gave her friends a little summer treat.

And, she wrote her teacher a little note and gave her this sweet cross that a mom at my school made.

It is so hard to believe that my baby girl is starting kindergarten in the fall.  Time really does fly!  In hopes to make our time spent together this summer special, we made our summer fun list. 

During our first summer weekend, we were even able to cross some things off.  

We had so much fun at the Redbirds game!

We also got to go swimming!!!

Summer, I love you all ready!!!

Awana Award Night & Ice Cream Party

Mother's Day

My Mother's Day morning was all planned out for me...by this little lady.  First, she read me two books in bed.

Then, I had to close my eyes and she lead me to the kitchen table where I found a pile of handmade cards, notes, coloring pages, cards that Daddy bought, and more.  I think she had been saving up stuff for a while...so sweet!

After a pancake breakfast (thanks, John!) with my favorite peeps, we headed to church.

Grace made me this sweet little owl at church and Carter did not.  He pitched such a huge fit that his handprints did not get painted.  Boo.

After church, we had lunch at our favorite Mexican place with our mommas!

I know that I am so blessed to have these two special mommas and these two great kids in my life!  I am truly thankful!

in case you were wondering

i am alive.

i'm just tired...

eight and a half days left of school
