Easter Bunny!

Good Friends, Good Fun, and Good Food!

A couple of Sundays ago, our church had its Friends and Family day so it was the perftect day to invite our friends who are like family (and who used to go to church with us) up for the day. But, we all skipped out on the church potluck and came home to partake of Phillip's good cooking. Phillip didn't disappoint; the meal was delicious. The kids (big and small) enjoyed a beautiful warm day playing in the yard. We even broke out the redneck water park; a tradition we've enjoyed together many times. I am so glad that we all got together especially because we spent the afternoon planning a couple's getaway that we've already booked. Soon we'll have good fun and good food in Vegas with good friends!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

or in Landon's case, take me out OF the ballgame. Well, the first game was cold and rainy so Landon played an inning before coming to sit with me in the car. The second game he couldn't play because of his allergies; his eye was swollen. But, this last game, he played the entire time and had a hit. He got himself out because as he was running to base, he bent down and picked up the ball. It was cute and funny; I wish I had my video camera with me. The coach gave him the game ball for playing the entire game and for his batting, and now he is a little more excited about it. Lofton loves baseball however, and he is doing great. He has had some great hits and forced outs. We are proud of both of our little Giants.

Spring Break 2011

We went with our friends the Griffins to Branson for Lofton's spring break. We first stopped at Amy's mom and dad's to spend the night, and Larry and Sona kept the kids while Jonathan, Amy, Phillip, and I ate our weight in food at Patty's. Then we got up the next day and traveled to Branson to meet Jonathan's family. We first stopped at the biggest Bass Pro Shop where Phillip was in heaven. We stayed at a great resort that reminded me of Dirty Dancing called Big Cedar Lodge. It was a relaxing couple of days; the boys enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tubs. We had a great time with friends.

Levi stayed home with Mimi and had a great time having her undivided attention. When we got home, he was spoiled rotten and crawling!

Hayden Sleeps Over

Our nephew/cousin, Hayden, slept over Thursday night. The boys had a great time together!

Dr. Seuss Week

Lofton's school celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday all week with different activities each day. Monday they wore hats (Lofton wore his coon skin hat, but I failed to take a pic) Tuesday they wore t-shirts from a vacation spot; Wednesday they had a special treat at lunch; Thursday they dressed as a character from a book hence Micah Brooks and Lofton dressed as Things 1 and 2, and Friday was crazy hair day. He really enjoyed all of the special days. Thanks Brittany Burkey for making the Thing 2 costume for us.
