Pre Easter Events

What a fun, beautiful day getting ready for Easter tomorrow. Womens' Club egg hunt, a precious Easter party at a friends, and dinner and egg hunt at Nan and Granddaddy's with Cousin Cindy and Aunt Wilma!

Max's First Sleepover

Max enjoyed his first sleepover with this cutie last night. Loved it!

Softball

That time of year again when the bats and gloves come out of hiding. Max is a new member of the Rays and will be playing machine pitch (yikes) while Kinsey is Pink Sox player yet again. A new rule in Kinsey league this year is that kids pitch the first two innings. Her coach encouraged her to try pitching and she did attend a pitching clinic, however, Kinsey felt like it wasn't for her. She has however, found a new softball interest in the catcher's spot. Go girl!

Star Wars Skate

Max had a wonderful day celebrating at his Star Wars skating party today. He had an awesome Millenium Falson cake, a great crowd and a fun playlist of music to skate to. Such a fun day to celebrate my favorite little guy!

Minute to Win It

Loved my date night with my big kindergartner at his school for Minute to Win It night. His hands-down fav was cookie face! :)

Bling Your Booth

Well, it's the end of Girl Scout Cookie Season and the last booth sale involved "blinging your booth." The troop decided on a baking theme and even made cookbooks full of recipes using the famous cookies. What a beautiful day to complete their hard work.

HJ Fox

Kinsey has started a new chapter with her riding by joining a new barn. Yesterday, she had her first show with them and she and her new riding partner, Robyn, seemed to be a great pair winning all blues and Grand Championing her division. Excited to see where this new adventure will take her.

Birthday Boy

Max had a fabulous 6th birthday today! It started EARLY with present-opening and special pancakes for breakfast. At lunch, he was suprised by a visit from Nanny and birthday popsicles in class. Finally, for dinner--his choice--Chuck E. Cheese with the family plus Nan, Granddaddy and Nanny.

Happy Birthday to my boy!

Albany Half

Teresa and I made last minute plans to go to Albany, GA to run the half marathon. Had a fun getaway and got my PR. Great little trip!

Winter Break 2013

A trip to the frigid Blue Ridge Mountains was the on the Winter Break agenda this year. Skiing, snow tubing, and Granny--what else could you ask for? Sunday we headed up to the blustery teen-temperature of Appalachian Ski Mountain. The kids started their fun with some ice skating.









Afterwards, we strapped on the boots and grabbed the skis for Max's first go and Kinsey's second try at skiing. The both did marvelous!











Monday, we hit Hawk's Nest for some snow tubing--great fun and beautiful weather, too!

As long as we got each other

For Valentines, I suprised Jack with VIP tickets to a marriage seminar entitled "Love Worth Fighting For." We had a lovely evening listening to Kirk Cameron advising over 500 couples on the keys to successful marriage. We also got a couple of cool autographs and some pretty sweet seats!

And it starts...

Tonight marks "tryout weekend" for Little League ball. Both kids will be playing (in the same 6-8 yr-old machine-pitch division no less) this year. Max and his 100 closest baseball friends waited for over an hour for their tryout while Kinsey's softball tryouts went a little quicker. We will be cheering on the Rays and the Pink Sox this year!

Super Friends

Great night watching the Super Bowl with our best buds!

Gym Dog Day

The four of us enjoyed an afternoon with the Girl Scouts cheering for the Gym Dogs and their win over Alabama this afternoon.

Father/Daugther Dance

Kinsey and Jack celebrated their 4th Annual Father/Daughter dance at her school Friday night while I was off at my basketball team's championship game (which we sadly lost by 2 points). The couple looked fabulous and danced the night away. What a sweet tradition!
