Mother's Day 2015!

Happy Mother's Day! I received lots of love from my sweet little family. We enjoyed a little Mexican food for dinner and relaxed at home from our trip to Tennessee.

On our way to dinner. These two are such a blessing, and I am so proud to be their mom.

Some lovin' from my sweet girl!

7!!!!!!!

Carter turned seven on Saturday, and his latest topic of interest is the RMS Titanic. He bought a book at his school's book fair called "I survived," and it featured a section on the Titanic. He has been hooked ever since! When we were in Pigeon Forge on Spring Break last year, we noticed there was a Titanic Museum. So we loaded up on Friday and took Carter to Tennessee for a special birthday surprise. 

ROAD TRIP up to Tennessee!!! The Griswolds don't have anything on us! Holiday Road!!!

We visited with Grandma and Papa Craig while in Tennessee. Papa Craig also joined in on Carter's birthday surprise. 

Surprise!! He was so excited! Unfortunately, they would not allow phone or camera use inside, so we didn't get any pictures of the inside.

However, they did allow a picture of us on the grand stair case. I was clearly underdressed for first class-ha!

Al, the birthday boy, and Layla before boarding the ship.

We were each assigned a character upon boarding the ship. These were real passengers, and at the end of the tour, we would find out their fate.

Carter received a special recognition for being the only birthday boy on the ship.

My kids love staying in a hotel, but to open birthday presents in one is the ultimate.

Hard to believe this little guy is seven!! 

School Party!

I brought some birthday donuts to Carter's class Friday! Mimi joined in on the celebration. 

I decided to change it up this year from traditional cupcakes to seven shaped donuts. I am sure his teacher wouldn't have been satisfied with either given the amount of sugar in each. 

Mimi and the birthday boy!

Kindergarten Registration

We registered our sweet girl for kindergarten today. It's definitely a bittersweet feeling knowing my youngest is off to school next year.

Ready to go register!

MLK Center-Atlanta

My Cub Scout troop took a visit to the Martin Luther King Jr. historic museum and district this weekend! It was a lot of fun and very educational. We also got to play on some vintage fire trucks and playground.

The hand painted wall outside of the museum. The wall extended much farther than my camera could capture.

Park Shenanigans

Enjoying some park time and sunshine after a long week on monsoon type weather.

So grown up!

Took Carter to have his "almost seven" year old pictures done today! Just love them! I can't believe he is going to be seven in a couple of weeks. Here are some of his proofs (picture of pictures). 

My absolute fav!

We were told to bring in a "favorite object." To my surprise, it was not a dinosaur but is a creature with teeth nonetheless.
