Girls Weekend

I had a great weekend in Birmingham with two of my best friends from college, Lis and Amy. We all seemed to need some time away and thoroughly enjoyed having a relaxing weekend together. We went over to Samford's campus to walk down memory lane and wondered how we are now so old!! We are hoping to plan another getaway again soon, it really does wonders for our sanity:)

Weekend with Friends

We went to Nashville for the weekend to see our friends Brent and Julie and meet their new baby girl, Sims. Travis and Brent played golf Saturday morning and Julie and I got manicures in the afternoon. The boys ran around like crazy and Tate taught their son, Boone, how to play the Wii. We came home to a rainy afternoon and now we are all tired:) But, the time together was well worth it!




Miller and Bo (they liked each other more and more as the weekend went on)

Easter Fun

We had a great week last week celebrating Easter at school and church with friends and family. Tate and Miller had an Easter program at school and then hunted eggs on their playground. My mom was here for her spring break, so she was able to join in on the fun. On Sunday we had a delicious lunch with some friends from church. It was wonderful way to celebrate our Savior!

Thomas the Train

On Friday, my sister and I took the kids to ride on Thomas the Train. With kindergarten quickly approaching for Tate, I am making the most of our fun Fridays before "big school" begins. The weather was a little chilly, but that didn't seem to dampen anyones spirits for the day. We had a great time!

Girls Visit

Three of my closest high school friends, Heather, Jenny, and Jen, ventured to my house this week for our annual reunion. I look forward to being together every year and this year I got to play hostess. We went up on the mountain to walk the trails, shopped, went to a movie, ate out, and shared lots of laughter. We had one minor glitch when Jen got sick while she was here, but still made the most of our time together. I am already looking forward to our next reunion...


This is what happens when Florida girls try to decipher a map of mountain trails:)

Chattanooga

This week is the boys spring break from school so we decided to make a short, overnight trip to Chattanooga. We made the most of our two days there and went to the Choo Choo, the Aquarium, Rock City, and Ruby Falls. Tate loved the model train at the Choo Choo and Miller liked the gnomes "hidden" in Rock City. It was a great family trip and just enough time to be away together.









The water was green for St. Patrick's Day

Snowy Morning

We woke up to a beautiful sight this morning as snow had dusted our yard and flakes were still falling. Usually when it snows here it doesn't stick, but this morning it actually did. So, after breakfast we bundled up and ventured outside. The boys wanted to make tracks with the Jeep and Gator which turned out to be a great idea because then they didn't get their socks and shoes wet. We lasted about 10 minutes and then came back inside to the warm heat. We are wimps I suppose! Later when we came out of church the sun was shining brightly and all the snow had melted. I am glad we enjoyed it while it lasted!
