Pictures from our week

We got home on Monday night from our vacation and on Tuesday we hit the ground running!:-) We have been very busy and have had a crazy week, but I did manage to take a few pictures.:-)

This week, Grace Anne started swimming lessons, she has them every Tuesday and Thursday for a month. Drew went with me the first day and had a fit to get in the water. He started taking off his shoes and his shirt! It was not fun wrestling a 2 year old during the entire swimming lesson!!! So, he is not allowed to go with me unless Daniel comes along!!!!:-)





On Friday, I went with Grace Anne's class strawberry picking! It was so much fun! You can tell by the pictures that Grace Anne had a blast, and her favorite part was eating the strawberries!!!




Today(Saturday) we went to Jordan's 6th Birthday Party! It was a lot of fun. Grace Anne painted a penguin. Jordan is Grace Anne's first friend that she met when we moved to SC. They are best buddies!!! She and her family are very special to us.



This afternoon the kids played in the sprinkler. Drew was not to sure about it, but after he saw Grace Anne running around having fun he joined in.

Well, that is all the pictures for this week. Tomorrow is Children's Day at church and Grace Anne is singing, I will try to post pictures of that soon. Hope you have a blessed week!

We're Home!!!

We had a wonderful time in Louisiana with my parents! It took us 14 LONG hours(one way) to get there. I told Daniel that I knew that I was far away from my parents, but it did not hit me until we made that drive! We left SC on Tuesday at noon and arrived at my parents house after midnight! I have posted LOTS of pictures from the trip, I will try to break it down day by day of what we did!

On Wednesday, we slept in and just relaxed and enjoyed visiting with them. Then that night, mom and I took Grace Anne to see High School Musical on Ice. It was a wonderful show and Grace Anne LOVED it! Mom and I enjoyed it as well.:-) She sang and danced the entire time!

Thursday, Daniel and Dad played golf, and mom, the kids and I went shopping! We did not get to shop long because we had to get Drew home for a nap! That afternoon the kids played outside with PopPoP, they had a great time. We went out to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant and then we went to Dairy Queen for ice cream!!!:-)yummy!!!

Friday morning Mom, Grace Anne and myself went and had a pedicure! Grace Anne loved it, she is such a girly girl, so this was right up her alley. It was fun for the 3 of us to have that girl time together! Then we went and picked up Daniel, Drew and Dad and we all headed to the outlets and shopped ALL DAY!!!! While we were there the kids went to Build-A-Bear and Grace Anne made a bunny named "Hannah"(after Hannah Montana, check out the wig on the bunny) and Drew made a Batman Bear that he named "Batman"!!!!:-) They had a great time!!!

Saturday, mom and I went to Women's Day at her church. We had a great time. The speaker and the music(Calling Levi) was wonderful. It was nice to meet some of mom's friends. Mom was able to come to Women's Day at my church back in November, so I was glad that I was able to go with her! Daniel, Dad and the kids went to the Barksdale museum while we were gone. Drew loves airplanes, I guess I should mention that my parents live right by the Barksdale Air Force Base where B-54 bombers fly into everyday. The planes fly right over my parents house, so we heard Drew yell "plane, plane, plane" a lot while we were there!!!!

On Sunday, we went to my parents church. We always enjoying going to church with them, they are blessed to be apart of a wonderful church!!! Calling Levi was leading the music and they were wonderful, I really enjoyed them! I am a new fan and will be going and buying their CD soon.:-)

Monday morning we headed home at 6a.m.!!! We got home at 8p.m.!!!! We are glad to be home, but miss Nana and PopPop!!!! We had a great time and enjoyed spending time with them!!! We miss them so much and wish we were not so far away. We are looking forward to our family vacation with them this summer!!!!

That's all of our trip, enjoy looking at the pictures!!!!

Rain Rain Go Away!

Well, I guess you can tell from the pictures that we have had A LOT of rain today! We are trying to stay dry!!!!

We have had a busy week between school, soccer practice/games, gymnastic, church, kids night out, birthday parties and several play dates:-). I have not taken many pictures this week, I will try to do better next week!

Today(Saturday) has been pretty busy. Daniel left early this morning with the Senior Adults, he took them to the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte. This morning Grace Anne was suppose to have another soccer game at 10:00 then Lily's Birthday party at 11:00. The game was called off, but we did fight the rain and go to the party. My friend Brandy took Drew along with her boys to Chick-fil-A while I took Grace Anne to the party. She had a great time playing dress up and having tea with her friends! Thanks Lily for a great party! We had a blast! I have posted some pictures below. Hope you have a wonderful week.
