Our newest bundle of joy!

The girls have been pet crazed since Allie went away.  They talked about getting a cat, so we got them an outdoor kitty that was only around a few days before it too, ran away.  After that, it was dog talk all over again.  We got Amy about a week ago.  She has fit right in with everyone.  The girls hardly put her down when they are home, but Amy seems to eat it up.  She's already one spoiled little doggie!

Easter

This year we planned an easter egg hunt for the kids.  They all had a lot of fun.  I am thankful that they are still young enough to find the joy in games.  It won't be long before they have outgrown these things and cherish their time with friends, rather than family.  I was blessed to see just how giving, and caring the girls can be.  What an awesome thing for Easter.  The time when Jesus gave His ALL for us!

Easter Eggs!

Ok, so I'm sure I've lost the "Mom Of The Year" award for this one, but hey, we can't all be perfect.  :)  This was the girls' very first time ever making Easter Eggs!  (I know, I know.  I can hear all of your gasps.)  Dyeing eggs isn't something I did as a child, and the tradition just hasn't ever been anything we've taken a big part in.  This year, however, we decided to give the experience a try.  It was pretty painless I must admit.  The girls had a good time making each one special.  We might just have to do this again next year!

Kickin' It!

Last night we went out to enjoy this awesome weather we are still having.  The girls started an impromptu game of kick ball.  It's the unplanned, little, everyday things that make up the best memories.  The girls laughed, and ran, and just got dirty.  It's what Spring is suppose to be about.  I'm really looking forward to a whole summer of playtime!

Spring Break 2012

This year we decided to stay close to home for Spring Break.  We took a little time to visit some family and took a day to walk around McCormicks Creek.  We took along the camera and made some time for a mini photo session while we were there.  Even Granny joined in for a picture or two.  It was a nice day for the walk and we got to see the simplistic beauty of nature.

The Greatest Show On Earth!

Kaylen participated in this years school show. She was fun to watch singing and dancing along to each song. She had a special part of playing the Red Tone Bell. How cute!

It was extremely warm in the gym. It is not air-conditioned and we have been setting record temperatures this week. The high was 85 degrees the day of the play. Pack in a few hundred bodies, not air movement, and lots of lights and you have a good recipe for HOT!

Despite everything, the kids all had a good time. The Hadi Shrine Clowns came out for some intermission entertainment. They asked Kendall if she would be willing to help out with part of the show, but little did she know she would become the butt of the joke! She was a good sport about it, and had a lot of fun.
