student of the month

Emma Taylor was selected as student of the month from her class for the month of April.  She was pretty proud of herself and we are too!

Here she is with her certificate!  Way to go, Emma Taylor!

easter morning

Even though the kids thought they were too big to have their pictures taken with the Easter Bunny, they sure did enjoy the treats he brought. 

We filled up on jellybeans and chocolate bunnies for breakfast and then headed off to church.  After church, we met the rest of the family at Aunt Fay's for Easter lunch.  The highlight of the trip to Fulton was the Easter Egg hunt.  Hunting eggs never gets old for these kids!

Brantley got into the action this year!

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday!

the hunt

We took the kids to the Easter egg hunt at church on Saturday. Anna Grace's age group was treated to breakfast and then they were in charge of hiding the eggs for the younger kids. Anna Grace helped hide the eggs and then the rest of the kids joined her to find them! Such fun!

What a beautiful day for an egg hunt!

dying eggs

The kids look forward to dying eggs each Easter. 

Love these pretty eggs.  Such a fun Easter tradition!  We had a busy Easter weekend, more pics to follow!

pretty smile!

Anna Grace had her braces taken off yesterday and was pretty excited about it! Don't her teeth look great?!  We're so proud!

She will be wearing a retainer for awhile, but it's clear and hardly noticeable - so different from the retainer I had to wear many, many moons ago!

Our family celebrated the occasion with dinner at Outback tonight. Memaw, Candace and Granna joined us, so it was an extra special treat for Anna Grace!

all dressed up

The kids got all dressed up for Kathryn and Lee's wedding on Saturday, so we snapped a quick picture before we headed out the door.


The kids had a big time at the reception and ate lots of cake and snacks.  Congrats to Kathryn and Lee!

last soccer game

It was fun while it lasted, but the season is over. Go Harrison!

our little artists

Anna Grace and Sarah's artwork was featured at the Gum Tree Art Museum and we went for the reception tonight.

Here's Sarah with her turtle clay sculpture.  It's the green turtle closest to her.  So cute!

Anna Grace had some pottery on display too, which was really neat.

Great job girls!

brave boy

Harrison had to have a cyst removed from his eye yesterday morning.  We took him to the surgery center, got him all dressed in his hospital down and the nurses wheeled him away to surgery.  He didn't whine, fuss or cry.  He was such a brave boy!

He came out of the anesthesia pretty easily and couldn't wait to get home for a few bowls of cereal!

I thought we'd have a relaxing day at home, but the anesthesia had Harrison bouncing off the walls.  He played and talked non-stop all day!  So glad the surgery is over and that my boy is recovering nicely!

Thanks to everyone who prayed for Harrison and checked on him!
