Drew spent the night with the boys this past week. All the boys were so excited as was the little sister too! Lance, Cooper, and Drew did not hesitate to include Brooke in everything they did. The only time she was unhappy was at bedtime when she did not get to sleep beside Drew! What fun memories!!!
Lance and Cooper were so excited to have Blakely come over to play today! They had a fun time playing outside.
Rain or shine ... Hot or cold ... Lance and Cooper continue to "oversee" Pappaw's playhouse project!
We had a fantastic Easter and enjoyed time with both of our families that day! The kids had a special day!
Papaw wanted to build Brooke a playhouse in the backyard; and the project is underway! All the kids get so excited when Papaw pulls up to the house to work ... and Papaw is extremely patient as they each find what they can do to partcipate in the project. So far, they have enjoyed helping carry all the needed tools & supplies to the work site, measuring boards, and hammering nails. I have enjoyed watching all the interaction take place ... we are blessed to have such a terrific Dad/Papaw!!!
The boys had baseball practice last night. As soon as they got home, Cooper ran upstairs. I could hear Lance downstairs and wondered what he was doing. Within a couple of minutes, he anxiously ran up the steps to show off his new baseball uniform ... I had no idea he would be so excited! They are both looking forward to a fun season!
My friend Dana and I took our 4 boys to Chattanooga for a night away during Spring Break week. We decided that a change of scenery would be perfect! Everyone had a great time. The boys were able to swim at the hotel. The following day, we went to the Discovery Museum; played at the park (only temporarily due to the fact that the boys were not thrilled with our rule: No tackle football on the sidewalks); and rode the carousel. What fun memories!
Brooke was so excited to spend the night with Margaret (and Max) while the boys and I went to Chattanooga for a night away. The girls had a fun time ... Brooke is looking forward to Margaret coming over to our house very soon! Thank you, Lindsey, for braving this experience!
Yesterday, we went to Chick-fil-A with some friends and managed to stay for nearly 3 hours. Once we realized the weather was nice outside, we decided to take the kids to the park to play. Needless to say, by the time we got home, they were exhausted ... but it was all worth it!!!
On Monday, the kids wanted to go see the ducks in a nearby pond. We packed snacks and took bread to feed the ducks. It was the perfect afternoon for a stroll!
This past weekend, we went to Louisville to visit my brother and his family. We had an awesome time! As always, the kids were thrilled to see their cousins, and we were able to enjoy some adult time! Thanks Price & Cheryl for a great weekend!
This past Thursday, the boys' preschool class had an Easter Egg Hunt at their best friend Drew's house. Everyone had a great time hunting eggs and playing games!
Lance & Cooper were excited to have Tyler come play. Looks like we could just add him to our family ... he fits right in!!!
Margaret came over after preschool to play with Brooke last week. The girls had a great time playing together as they managed to successfully isolate themselves from a housefull of boys!!!
The girls went to church on Sunday while the boys continued to recover from their sickness. Brooke was telling Cooper "Good-bye" ... and I just had to take this picture!
This particular morning, we found out that Lance & Cooper had the flu for the second time in only 3 1/2 weeks. Needless to say, Cooper was not feeling so great; Brooke worked hard all day to cheer him up!
