Carly's Home!

WOOOHOOO! Carly is home safe and sound - thanks to Lisa at the ticket counter! Missing her early morning flight because of lengthy security lines, and being told that there are no other seats until the next day, I tried to call and get a flight, refund, apology, something....her Dad tried and finally ended up with Lisa. She found a seat, broke them to the front of the security line and they made a mad dash to the gate to find out, Awesome Lisa had placed Carly in first class. Now, that's how you treat my Baby! (she must have heard I was upset!)

Anyway, she's home and we are so glad! She makes our house so much more fun! In fact, she's at school today and CJ is home (parent teacher conference day). He's playing his Star Wars game on the Wii and said, "Mom, I need help with this game!" So I run to his rescue to see what I could do and he immediately says, "No. I need REAL help....where's Carly?" She is missed when she's not home!

Fun Filled Saturday!

We took off Saturday morning and met up with the Hollingsworth's for an awesome day!! It included eating and stopping at FS Williams Country Store. Eating, then going to Port Hudson to the Battlefield. Then eating and learning some Civil War period dances. Then we watched a Civil War re-enactment and ate. We rode the ferry across the mighty Mississippi to New Roads and stopped and ate. It was awesome! Check out some pictures from the day.
Boys taking a walk back in time - well minus the porta potties!

Big day of fun...

A Day at the Park

Since the kids are out of school this week for Spring Break and the weather was beautiful today, we decided to head to the park. My friend Melissa joined us with her two boys, Nick and Logan. The kids had a blast playing, running and doing what boys do, while Melissa and I relaxed and talked about other people....(j/k!) A couple of pics from today.

The boy's climbing the rock wall.....

Check out my boy, Logan - sporting the UGA shirt! Go Dawgs!

Thanks Hollingsworth's for a really fun time! We should do it again soon!

Happy Easter!

WOW! Today was a great Easter Sunday! We attended all three services today and I sang last night at the 6pm service. Busy, but well worth it! All four services I attended were to a packed house and that's amazing! I can't wait to hear how many lives God touched over this Easter week(end). Beck posted about the Kids In Action....it's incredible! Check her blog.
Sam looked beautiful (as usual) this morning for church as well, but I didn't get a picture. (I had to sing at 8, so we left pretty early!) I'll have to get one. Carly's in GA, so this year's Easter pic was just CJ, but he had enough color on for everyone! :)

Carly's in Georgia

Yesterday was bitter sweet! I took Carly to the airport for her to fly to Georgia to be with her Dad for Easter. I miss her when she's gone but I am so thankful that she has a wonderful father and stepmother in GA that love her and love having her there. She will have a blast with her two little bros in GA, too!

Just posting a couple of pics from the airport that I took during the flight delay......Technology today....I sat and txt my bff's and she sat and txt hers. So just before she boarded, I txt her a prayer. You GOTTA pray! Come on.....I think God likes txting.

Gearing up for Easter Break

CJ's class had their Easter party at school today to kick off the Easter (Spring) Break! What a blast. I have video that I want to post. I hope it's as amuzing to you as it is to me. The kids had an egg hunt, they made their own ice cream sundae's had an egg toss AND had an egg relay. The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast!

CJ explaining the rules of the egg hunt. Randi looks like she doesn't like them and Cameron looks like he doesn't understand them!

Video of CJ's egg toss with Kiandralyn. Check out his technique. Its the 'ol toss and jump. (like a hot potato!)

Video of CJ when his team won the egg relay. CJ doesn't celebrate like everyone else, so he goes off to the side for his own private victory dance.

Black and White

While we were on our way home from Festival yesterday, Carly and I came upon a cow bench. Its outside a local dairy near our house. Since it was black and white and Carly was in black and white.....well, it made sense at the time!
