Neighborhood Gang

My neighbor Ashlea and I decide to head to the zoo. The kids were out because of teacher in service. We had 7 children and 2 adults. We were very out numbered but somehow survived the day. ALL of the kids were SO well behaved and I know had a wonderful time!!! The car ride home was VERY quiet!!!

A day at the Mall

Sweet Hunter

Cutie Rea Rea

We headed to the mall for some fun at the play area and for dinner since Ryan was out of town. Had to pose for a few pictures. Reagan for some reason can't stay looking at the camera long. She is cute anyway!

Spring Soccer Time

Hunter's Little Lions Team

Alex and Hunter

Great stance Hunter!

Throwing the ball back into the game.

Trying to help his teammate Alex get a goal.

Well, we are back in soccer again. The weather has kept us from having games and practices, so this Saturday was our first game. Hunter had a great time and is finally understanding a little more about the game. He is still pretty timid about taking the ball when someone else has it, but that is our sweet Hunter. He is with the same team...this is our 3rd season together. Go Little Lions!!! I will try to get a video next time for you all to see.

Track Time for Cayce

Cayce's biggest fan!

Go Raiders!

Cayce is in track this spring and doing a great job. He runs in a lot of relays, which are always exciting! The weather has been awful so most of the meets have been cancelled at the last minute. I did get a video; however, it is blury. I guess I was zoomed in too much. I will do better next time.

Charlie, Emily, Hunter and Reagan just out of Sunday School.

We had a wonderful Easter! We got up and went to church and enjoyed a great sermon. Came home and found that the Easter Bunny had arrived! The kids had a blast hunting for the eggs!!! We then had a great lunch and a relaxing day FULL of candy!

Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

Supposed to be a picture of Ryan and I only, but a few extras popped in!

Neighborhood kiddos hanging out on the deck.

Notice we have brainwashed a neighbor... he is wearing TEXAS!!!!

Tim and Ryan

All the good food!

We had such a crazy week the week before Ryan's birthday that we decided to just have a low key cook out with our friends. We had some great food and great company! Ryan opened a few gifts and had all the kids sing Happy Birthday to him. What a great day!!!

Just arriving at Keeneland.

Today Ryan and I went with some of our neighbors to Lexington, Kentucky to watch the Keeneland horse races. It was so much fun, plus we got a day away from the children! We did win one big race. All six of us went in together and won $533.00. We were VERY excited.

Easter Cookie Time

The masterpieces!

Hunter making Emily a purple Easter egg.

Emily very carefully decorating.

One down...many more to go.

Great job Em!

Reagan concentrating.

Well, it is Spring Break here and Emily came over for the day to play with Hunter and Reagan. We decided it was a good rainy (possible snowy) day for cookie decorating. Since Easter is just around the corner we found lots of bunny, egg and chick stamps. The kids did such a great job and had fun doing it.

Rea Rea's nails

Reagan is always watching Mommy paint her fingernails and toenails. After many times of telling Reagan no, I decided to give in and paint her toenails. She picked out a pretty pink color and sat very still for me. She even waiting until they were fully dry. So cute!

Karate Class and Belt Testing

Perfect middle stance...making sure Mommy is recording!

Orange Belt Testing

Hunter with his karate buddies in class.

Well, Hunter was scheduled to have his Orange Belt Testing for Karate on Friday, March 27th. We are in class on the Monday before and Hunter is called to the front of the room to accept his new orange belt. Hunter looks at me and I am looking at Sensei Mike very dumbfounded. After he presents Hunter with his belt, Sensei Mike looks at me and says, "Wait...he hasn't tested yet has he?" I smiled and said no. He refused to take the belt away from Hunter since it was his error. I believe Hunter would have understood, but I can see why he did that. So...we go to Hunter's belt testing that Friday, wearing his new belt, and he did AWESOME!!! He looks like a little pro out there. I have a short video of it. Enjoy!
