My Best Man...

Even with the silly faces, the no smiles, and the "I can't smile right in pictures,", I am so proud to call this man mine. I am so grateful that God chose to give me a second chance to be in love with my best friend.

Spring Break Camping

The best purchase for our family has definitely so far been our camper. I never thought I would enjoy it, and still certainly don't want to do the "real camping", tents with sleeping bags thing, but I absolutely love camping with our camper. I guess it's because the boys love it so much. It is so peaceful, yet the boys find it thrilling.

We decided to head to Jellystone Park, home of Yogi Bear, Boo Boo, Ranger Smith, and Cindy, for spring break this year. If you haven't been, you must plan a trip soon. Located In Pelahatchie, you can also rent cabins, which are super cute as well. The boys had a blast, well, we all did. Lots of fun activities, with an activity center for painting, crafts, a Wii, boardgames, plus much, much more, and of course the splash pad and pool was the big hit for the boys, even in the temps that make your teeth chatter. They sure didn't mind. We also went to the family movie nights, sitting under the stairs with our blankets. Sam also learned to ride his bike...wait for it...WITH NO TRAINING WHEELS. Yes, that's a big deal in a little boy's world. I don't know who was prouder, Sam or me!

We had a great time and cannot wait to see where our camper will take us next!

He is such a big boy now. Takes such good care of E...

2011 Charity Ball

Such a great time! The JA Charity Ball was Mardi Gras Masquerade and my boys stole the show! Of course, I wouldn't be partial, at all. Sam made a perfect little escort for Marla Ray and Eli, well, just had a blast! My mom and dad were represented very well, having 4 of their grandsons take part in the court. This was my first charity ball to be involved in behind the scenes, as I am new this year in Junior Auxiliary. What hard work is put in to this event, but it was a huge success. Wanted to share some pictures of the night of my handsome men!

Dad, lose the camera!

Meadow Ridge Snow Day

We still can't get over how much snow we actually were blessed to enjoy! As the snow started falling, I couldn't help but think of one of my favorite songs. "A million snowflakes gently fall, yet no two are the same. The majesty and wonder of the seasons as they change. And more and more I look, I see your hand. How you could love someone like me, I'll never understand." These words, as I watched the beauty of the falling snow, like I had never seen being a Mississippi girl, just kept ringing in my ears. He is so amazing. He is so good. The wonders of his hand are so beautiful. We were so thankful for the snow!

We spent the morning playing in our yard until we figured the place to be was an open lot down by our neighbor's house. We took the golf cart, the four wheeler, some rope, some tubes, thanks to Mrs. Amy, some very excited little boys, and made some memories none of us will ever forget. Enjoy our pics from our snow day!

Is there anything sweeter?

Shrek, the "MOOSICAL"

Will most definitely get in some trouble for posting this one day, but just had to. Not only did we get to see Shrek in Memphis, we also got to see Eli's version of the show. Enjoy this clip...

I'm an OGRE!

We recently took the boys to Memphis to see Shrek the Musical. This is the Broadway musical now touring throughout the United States. So much fun! We made a weekend out of it, taking in a Grizzlies basketball game Friday night at the FedEx Forum, where I didn't get any pics!, and saw the show on Saturday afternoon at the Orpheum. All three of the boys enjoyed it, but especially our little show stopper, Eli. I love making memories like these!
