Ready for Picture Day at School!

Also had to post this video of Noah getting his first dance lesson from Coach Haley :-)

Spring is here!

Along with spring comes mine and Sheryl's Birthday as well as Lake Days!!!!!!!!! No we didn't plan to show up wearing the exact same shirt but what can we say...it happens.

With all of this beautiful weather Sheryl and I decided that we wanted our Birthday party at the park again this year! The kids got to play while the adults enjoyed their lunch, cupcakes and just relaxing in the beautiful weather! We ended it all with a trip to the Ice Cream shop too! Of course Haley thinks that Sher Sher and I have the COOLEST adult b-day parties ever :-)

Since spring came early this year we have been able to head to the docks to feed the ducks a couple of times as well as take the first boat ride of the season (minus the one we did in Savannah)! The kids LOVED it but mainly because we were able to meet up with Brandon and Russell and head to an island for the kids to play on! They also love playing with the waterfall at one of the marina's! I must say when we first headed to the docks for our boat ride I was almost ready to pack it up and head back in before we even left the gas docks. Noah just could not get settled anywhere on the boat. He didn't want to be held, sit on the seat, stand on the seat....NOTHING! Finally Clayton said here let me hold him and all of a sudden we had one happy boy! I should have known, he is just like his Daddy and wants to be in the drivers seat! Haley's new favorite spot is down in the cubby with her baby dolls. Works out great for me as I don't have to have my hands full with two kids in my lap :-)

Noah is very much enjoying his days with Papa and is literally attached to him!! He cries EVERY time he leaves and he wants Papa to hold him non stop when he's around! Its so cute to watch! They have enjoyed many trips to feed the ducks, home depot, the park, McDonald's....you know.....boy stuff!

Happy Easter!

I'm thinking this was probably my most favorite Easter so far!!!! The kids excitement on their face when they woke up and saw that the Easter Bunny had visited was priceless! It was like Christmas morning excitement but with less presents. We woke up to Haley running down the hallway into our room and got right up in my face and said "Mommy! Guess what the Easter Bunny left in my BEEDDD?!?!" She held the egg about 1cm from my nose and said "An Egg....HA!!!" Then she ran back out and quickly gathered another 15 before I could get up and tell her to save some for Noah for when he woke up. She could hardly stand the wait...she'd ask me every 30 seconds "when is Noah going to wake up?" Of course he was up ALL night long the night before (literally 1am - 9am) due to an ear infection so he was sleeping in Easter morning. We ended up letting Haley find all the eggs that were upstairs other than the ones in Noah's room and then once he woke up we brought them both downstairs to finish looking for the eggs and to see what the Easter Bunny had also left for them. Noah spotted his new big blue ball immediately and that was his main focus the rest of the time. All he could say was "ball, ball, ball, ball, ball" all the way till we got to the bottom of the stairs and i put him down then he ran and screamed like a girl until he got his and Haley's new balls!!!!! He was THRILLED to say the least...LOL. It actually worked out well, Haley was able to collect almost all of the eggs herself while Noah played with both of their balls :-) Next we were off to Church which Haley loves and Noah is quickly learning to love! I just love Easter Sunday service! It's been a rough few weeks with Noah and Sunday school but he's finally starting to adjust so we are super excited! Finally we headed to Sheryl and Ryan's house for lunch with the entire family! It worked out perfectly as their neighborhood had a huge egg hunt, pictures with the Easter Bunny (Wait...I've seen this picture before but it was a man with a red suit LOL!) and a petting zoo!!!! Haley was in heaven holding this little bunny! Precious! I thought for sure Noah would freak with all the animals but he actually wanted me to put him down and he pet them too! Once all the festivities were coming to an end we headed back home and Haley hid 100 eggs outside with the neighborhood kids and then she hid them inside one more time before bed. This girl loves egg hunts! We finished off the night with big chocolate bunnies right after dinner!!

Both Haley and Noah had egg hunts the Friday before Easter at school! It was a great way to get them warmed up and ready for the big event! Thanks to Papa and Mimi for snapping some pictures of the events!

Haley and Noah both got a much needed hair cut! Thanks to Papa and Grandma for taking one for the team and taking Noah!! He hates to get his cut and screams the entire time but in the end he looks so cute!

Other random pictures of Family time over the past few weeks and the kiddos pretending they are riding on boats and the floor is water & quality reading time together. Apparently they drove to Barnes and Noble...haha!
