T- Ball

We have now had our first t-ball practice and game. I can sum it all up by saying the game is a great source of laughter for this pregnant lady!

Easter 2009

The Brashier Family came this weekend and we had a great visit and an interesting Easter meal... Most of you know that I am not a very detail oriented person - especially when it comes to recipes. Usually it works out well for me - not this time! When it came time to pull out the pork for lunch, it was RAW. I somehow left out the whole three middle sentences of the instructions. Those sentences included baking for an additional 50-55min. Needless to say, I sent Brad to the gas station and he came back with a barbecued chicken leg, 2 slabs of ribs, and chicken fingers. I am glad I am at the point in my pregnancy where everything is funny - otherwise, I think I might have cried! The ribs and chicken were yummy and everybody was full and happy. Oh yeah, around 2:30 - when everyone was leaving - the pork loin was finally ready!!

Jumping Bailey

The kids found out that when blowing bubbles Bailey will jump to catch them! It was quite funny to watch - she even flipped in the air trying to catch bubbles! By the time I figured out we should film it, (you know so we could enter it in to America's Funniest Home Videos! j/k) she was too tired to jump anymore!!

Easter Eggs!

Friday we dyed Easter Eggs - this was probably the easiest year yet - they got everything ready and were pretty self-sufficient! This is Mary Blake saying, "You should try these boiled eggs - they are really good." He's thinking about it. . . . Yep, he tried it - didn't like it!

The Memphis Zoo

Last Wednesday, we traveled to the Memphis grade with Mary Blake's first grade class. The weather was great and the kids were sweet!

WEDDING

Here are just a few pics of Elisabeth's wedding. . . It was SO much fun and a very sweet ceremony. I will post more (I have a million) later!

SNOW!!

This Sunday we woke up to all white!! We even had time to run down to the Sanders and grab a quick sled ride! Later, we enjoyed a big bowl of snow cream (aka snow and sweetened condensed milk).

Kitchen Shower

Lots of fun stuff getting ready for Elisabeth and Jay's wedding. (which is next weekend!!) This are pics from the kitchen shower at Rebekah's house.

Tool Shower/Bird Hunt

2 weeks ago, we had a tool shower for Elisabeth's fiance Jay. . . The day turned out SO cold, but it was a really fun day. The kids, of course, had too much fun. The rest of us enjoyed the fish fry and party. We were all exhausted at the end of the day, but it was well worth it.
