Peyton's Party!

Little Miss Thing got invited to her very first birthday party this past Saturday (April 13th)! Her friend Peyton celebrated his 3rd birthday as a pirate!

Happy girl invited to her first school birthday party!

Carter decided he wanted to come too! When you invite one, the other is basically going to follow. Neither one of them want to miss out on a good party.

Whats a good party without pizza?

And CAKE??

Birthday boy!

Batter up! This was probably one of the hardest pinatas I had ever seen.

Showing off his baseball skills.

Julian's Birthday

Carter has made so many new friends through baseball this last year and birthday season is already starting! Carter's friend Julian celebrated his 5th birthday at Catch Air. The kids had such a good time and took a nice nap after the party.

The sweet birthday boy! Julian was on Carter's team this past fall.

Group picture of all the kiddos!

Sponge Bob came out to dance on the dance floor.

Somebody wasn't very fond of Sponge Bob or anything dressed up for that matter. I don't see Disney World being in our near future at all.

Carter and Nicholas! They have been on the same team for the last two seasons!

Playground Picnic!

We have been really loving all the nice weather we have been getting lately here in Georgia. So today we decided to load the kids up in the stroller and walk down to the playground and have a picnic!

Sweet babies enjoying the nice weather!

Easter 2013

We spent this Easter in Walhalla with Nana! The kids had such a good time and were very excited to see that the Easter bunny found them all the way at Nana's house!

Visit with Beetsie! She was so happy to see all of us.

The kids fought over who got to help Nana push Beetsie's wheelchair.

The Proud Easter bunnies! The Easter Nana was in her PJs refusing a pic..haha.

Our eggs we dyed!

Low and behold, the Easter bunny did manage to find Carter and Layla at Nanas.  The pink bunny basket was mine when I was a baby.

We can all tell who was excited about Easter. Maybe the food woke him up.

What did the Easter bunny bring?

Aunt Cha, Paw-paw, and Nana.

Easter egg hunt. I am surprised Carter let her find some haha.

Comparing their findings!

Rainy Weekend

This past weekend was quite a disappointment for the kids. Not only was it raining, it was super cold and it totally killed our spring high. Carter's game got cancelled and we couldn't play outside, so we just hung out and got some things done that would have been crammed into the short week ahead.

We decided that we would go ahead and prepare our eggs for our Easter egg hunt this Thursday at school.

He wanted the metallic colored eggs (totally my child) for his class and already picked which one of his friends is going to be getting which egg.

Little Easter bunnies I made for Carter's baseball team for Easter.

Layla got her first haircut this weekend by me! So sad cutting off all the ends that had her dark baby hair! However, they are saved in a bag in her baby book.

Little Shamrocks!

Happy St. Patrick's Day from my little Shamrocks! Hope everyone had a great day full of green, corn beef hash, cabbage (ok..we really didn't have corn beef seeing how I would be the only one eating it), and leprechauns. Speaking of leprechauns, we had an awfully sneaky one come in and play some tricks on us this St. Patty's Day.

First, he left a message on my bathroom mirror...

Then, he turned our pancakes greens!

Last but not least, he even turned the jello I made for dessert green. We never saw our alleged leprechaun nor did we find his pot of gold.

Happy 82 Grandma!

Today we went up to my Aunt's to celebrate my grandma Lucy's 82nd birthday! We had such a good time getting to see everyone and the kids missed their nap, so I had an usually early night to myself seeing how Al is away for the weekend.

82 years young!

Blowing out her candles.

Count these two in where ever there is cake.
