{ 40 is FUN! }

Happy 40th birthday to me!  I think 40 is going to be fantastic and I'm looking forward to seeing what this decade will bring. I have to admit though, 40 just sounds weird!  :)

Harrison had a genetics checkup due in May, so I scheduled it for May 20th so I could enjoy a little time in Memphis.  Mom came with us to Memphis to help keep Emma Taylor entertained while we were at the doctor.  The doctors office is a camp theme, so cute!

Harrison got a great report and doesn't have to go back again until he's 16, which is fantastic.  Here he is in the "cabin" (exam room) reminding me that I'm 40.  Ha!

As soon as we wrapped it up at the doctor, we started the birthday fun, which simply means we headed straight to Target.  Lol!

While we were in Target, we were asked twice if they were twins. :)

We had a yummy lunch at Steak N Shake, one of my faves!

We got home late in the afternoon, Granna took the kids and Lee and I enjoyed a birthday dinner out.  Seafood lasagna at Fratesi's is always a good choice.  YUM!  It was a fabulous ending to a really fun 40th birthday!

{ Birthday Lunch! }

Mom and Dad hosted a lunch for my 40th birthday and it was lots of fun!  Our family was there along with Ben, Lori and Cameron; Candace, Ann and Cora Beth and Karen, Kaydee and Luke.  We had a fun afternoon eating BBQ and visiting.

Cameron picked up the funniest card ever.  He couldn't wait for me to get there to open it.  I don't remember exactly what the card said, but something about a "chicken butt." We both thought it was hilarious!

Everyone sang Happy Birthday.

 We ate our cupcakes and ice cream and then took a few family pictures.

 I've found out you really get spoiled when you turn 40.  So far, so good!  :)

{ Saturday with Cora Beth! }

The girls and I met Candace, Memaw and Cora Beth in Fulton this afternoon.  We had lunch, did a little shopping, played at the park and stopped for frozen yogurt.  Cora Beth kept us all entertained!

Sister loves some jewelry!

 She loves playing with Sarah.

Cora Beth loved combing Sarah's hair.  :)

We all had fun at the park.  Anna Grace posing with Little Bit!

 Memaw had fun on the seesaw, too!

Sarah cooled off in the splash pad for a minute, but Cora Beth didn't like it at all!

 Finally, we stopped for yogurt.  Yum!

 Sarah ate hers in this cool egg chair. 

What a fun afternoon with the girls!  

{ Gifted Art }

So proud of these girls for being accepted into the gifted art program at Guntown Middle School next year.  They had two art interviews before being accepted, so it's a pretty big deal for them. They are super excited!

I was the substitute teacher for the art class at the elementary school on Friday.  Since state testing is over, teachers are finished teaching.  The girls didn't have anything going on in class, so they were able to spend the day in the art room with me.  We had fun!

They crafted and created all day and LOVED the field trip to Sonic for lunch.  Ha!  Just three more days of school and these girls will officially be 6th graders.  Oh my!  :)

{ Totally Random - Catching Up! }

Sarah was cheering at the beach...

I took a quick trip to Florence to see this little sweetheart!
