Springtime adventures

The kids have had some fun spring adventures that I have not documented on the blog, so I thought I would do one big post about them!


Cooper and Dan went on a roadtrip with their friends Josh & Cade to Chattanooga one weekend and were able to squeeze in lots of fun activities!




Cooper has been playing t-ball this spring! It has been lots of fun, and he has gotten to know alot of little boys that he will be in school with this fall that are on his team.


The dads all help out alot in this t-ball league so that the chaos on the field is minimized. Coop and Dan are all smiles in the dugout.


Edie and I decided to brave the cool morning and take the kids to the Strawberry Festival in Humboldt a few weeks ago! The kids liked the parade, but loved the junk food at 9:30 in the morning!






Dan borrowed G-Chip's jeep for a few days, and the kids both had a blast riding around town in it!

Easter Festivities!

We had a wonderful Easter this year. I think because our Thanksgiving and Christmas were so altered because of Ashlie's illness, we appreciated and enjoyed the time spent celebrating the Resurrection of Christ even more! We had several Easter egg hunts, time with both families, and lots of yummy Easter candy (which we all loved)!


our Easter egg hunt at church was great, but it was freezing outside!


Cooper loved the hunt and party at school (as did Reese Ann who loved the preview of the playground for next year)




Dying Easter eggs with Sis-sis, Edie, and Momma was alot of fun- can't you tell by the face!


We had a fun Easter egg hunt with friends and neighbors


Reese Ann's favorite part was the jumper- her heaven! She could throw herself down and all around and bounce right up with no blood involved! She would not get out for 45 minutes and then wanted right back in!


The kids thoroughly enjoyed their Easter Saturday egg hunt & celebration at Edie & G-Chip's complete with lots of fun, toys, and a creepy visitor to the egg hunt that Uncle Eric wrangled!








The Easter bunny was sure good to the Jedi


and his princess sister!


Cooper was running around the driveway in his policeman costume that the Easter bunny brought him when some police officers drove by, stopped, smiled for a picture, and gave Cooper a "Junior Police officer of Jackson, TN" badge. It made his Easter!


And lastly, my sweet kiddos who do clean up very well and look really sweet here despite the 4-year-old goofy smile!
