Happy Easter!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter. We went to a sunrise service and then went back home and took a long nap. We are not used to getting up that early. I actually redressed the kids later in the day to take pictures.

At Home Easter Egg Hunt

It has been so cold here, I didn't take Ty to an Easter Egg Hunt because I thought it might be too cold for Alley. He had fun picking up eggs around the yard.

Alley enjoyed her biter biscuits while Ty hunted for eggs.
She has the sweetest smile.

Hoop City at the World Congress Center

I only took a few pictures because it was hard to keep up with five kids.

I thought this sign was funny. Alley did too.

Trip to Atlanta to visit with Tracey

Tracey is a friend from Fayetteville who now is at Ft. Rucker. Her husband and TJ were in the same battalion together for a long time. We met in Atlanta during the final four weekend (her dad is a college coach and they go every year). She has three kids (Riley 5, Maggie will be two in August and Emily will be one in August). Alley and Emily were born about two weeks apart. We had a great time visiting with them, but it was an experience trucking all the kids around Atlanta. Thankfully her mom was with us most of the time to help.

Maggie is so sweet, but she is always up to something!

Bowling for Ty's Official Birthday

Ty's actual birthday was on a Tuesday, so we took him bowling for the first time. Everyone just sat back and watched Ty and Mason bowl. They had a great time.

Aunt Lisa helping Ty bowl. Gran, Granny, Pops, Aunt Tricia and Uncle Michael came to cheer them on.
Mason's first push was great. Those bowling shoes are really nice!
Alley once again was not into bowling but liked hanging out with her grandmothers.

Friend's Birthday Party

While in GA we went to a birthday party for my friends girls. Desi and Anna had a joint party for two of their girls. Ty had a great time with all the kids.

Julie, Anna, Desi, and Lisa

(Desi and Anna's girls)

We have all been friends since we were in 1st grade. Anna and Lisa were the same age and Desi and I were in the same grade. They are great friends.

Ty is thinking hard about sliding down the big slide!

There were 4 bouncy things to play on at the birthday party. It was a lot of fun.

Alley was not into the bouncing but loved watching.

This is Anna-Paige. She has the most beautiful hair.

Ty's Third Birthday Party

We had a small party for Ty for his 3rd birthday at a park in GA. Ty had so much fun with his family and friends. It is hard to believe he is three years old. Time has gone by too fast!!
