It's About Time

I know it's been a while since I updated the pictures............so get ready for lots of them!! Here are some pictures from a trip to the Florida Keys we took with Ryan's family in early June. The boys had so much fun with their cousins, Nicholas and Kaitlyn, and even got to sleep in the "Big Kids" room that had two sets of bunk beds. They thought they were really something. It was a great and relaxing time with family.

The boys thought meeting Spiderman at a local festival was the coolest...

Until they met Batman!

Easter Weekend

We spent Easter weekend with my family in Alabama and the kids had a great time. The boys went to an egg hunt at Papaw and Nana's church, and hunted eggs with Gran-Gran. Graycen got her first Easter basket and wore this beautiful dress that my Aunt Danna made for her. It was a great weekend aside from the fact that Ryan had a scratched cornea on Easter and spent the day in a great amount of pain (you'll notice he's not in the family photo).........but not to worry, he made a full recovery soon after the weekend.

Oh, the Places We've Been

Connor and Spencer were the ring and Bible bearers in my cousin Denay's wedding over Easter weekend. They did such a great job (with the help of some candy and bubble gum bribery) during the wedding and were so cute in their little tuxedos. We had a great time with family and were happy to welcome Matthew to the family............Congratulations, Guys!!

Wouldn't you trust these two on one of the biggest days of your life???

Since Ryan has been traveling a bit more these days, the kiddos and I spent a week with Ryan's parents (a.k.a. Mimi and Poppy). Connor and Spencer had a blast going to new playgrounds, decorating Easter eggs, playing pizza chef and visiting the library for Story Time. They were so sweet to help me out for the week..............Graycen also learned to sit on her own while we were there. Here are a few pictures from the visit.......

A Special Day

A few weeks ago, we participated in a dedication ceremony at our church for Graycen. It was a special time for us as we committed to raise Graycen (and her brothers as they were dedicated when they were younger) in a Christ-centered home so that they will know God's love for them and develop a personal relationship with Jesus. All of the grandparents came in for the dedication and to celebrate with us. The doll in the picture above was made for Graycen by her Mimi and is for her to play with in church as she grows up, then untie and use as a handkerchief on her wedding day. Connor, Spencer and Graycen continue to be a blessing and a joy in our lives. God has been so good to us!

This is what I get when I say "Smile"

Snowy Days are Here Again!

Connor, Spencer, Ryan and Cooper took advantage of yet another snow day, gearing up and spending some time making snow angels and working on a snowman...... they had a great time even though the snow was not suitable for making snowmen this time! Meanwhile, Graycen and I stayed cozy inside the house. Here are some pictures of the kiddos......
