Luke's Last Day at Preschool

Luke's preschool planned a big outdoor water bash this year and of course the weather did not cooperate. It was misting rain, cool, misting rain, and damp. The kids still had a blast playing in the pools and slides.

Luke posing with his teachers Ms Amy and Ms Celeste.

Waitng in line for the slide. He did not realize at this point that he was going to be cold after he got wet.

They were even nice enough to let brother and sisters who were not at preshool attend. Of course Alex was not going to stand on the side and watch!

She came down to fast and when she hit the bottom it tossed her into the air and over into the grass. She was not happy.

Here they are trying to warm up before lunch. Good thing I brought a change of dry clothes.

They say it comes in 3's!

One sunny day in April I decided to meet Steve for lunch and take a look at some dishwashers since ours was broken. The boys were in school so the only kids with me were Alex and Valerie. It had been very rainy early in the week and on this day it very windy. As the girls and I were going home I noticed out of the corner of my eye something moving. IT WAS A TREE FALLING!!! Luckily I was paying attention and was able to slam on the brakes. The tree and I meet bumper to trunk. No one was hurt. Valerie slept through the whole thing and Alex cried only when the cop arrived.

These photos were taken by Nick (Valerie's daddy) on his phone. Steve called to let him know that I had been in a accident with is daughter....YIKES! All good!

It went across both lanes of traffic.

This is where the tree came out of the ground.


This was after they got my car off of the tree. Minor damage! We were very lucky.

Easter 09

I did not get many Easter pics this year since we were out of town for our church's egg hunt. We still had an egg hunt at home Easter Sunday and the The Bunny did make a stop. Here is the stuff the bunny left for the trio.

Next are some action shots from our very own egg hunt.

Alex is trying to show me how many eggs she found.

I always try to get atleast one good photo of the kids in the Easter outfits. Here is the best one that I got.

As you can see the silliness took over and any shot of getting a great photo is gone.

Nothing really good to share about this photo excpet that it is really cute!!

I am trying to catch up. If you have not seen the other posts keep scrolling down.

Thanks!

G-Day April 2009

One Saturday in April we spent the day in Athens cheering for The Dawgs! It was the kids first time in the stadium. I think Luke was more excited about going than anyone.

The team making their way to the field for warmup.

UGA

Getting the crowd excited!....and it worked.

Our first family photo in the stadium.

Me and my little dawgs!

Daddy with our little dawgs!

Luke and Alex enjoying the game and crowd. Do not fool yourself. Soon at this photo was taken Alex began walking up and down the steps over and over again! Mel, look closely at this photo. She the lady in red behind Alex. It is your friend Dianne from church.

GO DAWGS!!

Spring Break trip to Gatlinburg

Here we are standing at a overpass for a photo.

We stayed at the Wilderness in the Smokies Lodge and it was AWESOME!! The kids had so much fun. My mom, dad, Cory, Michelle, and Ellie (my brother and his family) joined us.

Here are all the grandkids.

Michelle and Ellie

Luke and Alex sliding together. Luke wanted to make sure that she did not get down first.

Kade receiving instructions on the body board.

He did great. He did wipe out a few times, but he kept getting back on.

Cory got on and wiped out very quickly.

Now he is showing off!

Alex not sharing her pool toys.

Everyone came down the tunnel slide at the same time. Luke did not mind. He got right in there with the big boys.

Our trio!

Of course they had a large bucket that dropped water every few minutes. Here is the trio running from the water.

Here are the kids posing by an Easter basket on the strip in Gatlinburg.

The trip was awesome. I would recommend the resort. Not many pics since my battery went dead and I forgot my charger. Oh well!

January-February 2009!

We're are back!!!!!!!

After several busy months and questions from everyone on when am I going to blog again, I decided to start back.

Here are some pics from January and February. I really do not have that many pics due to a virus on our computer.

At the beginning of February I started watching our niece Valerie during the day. The next few pics are Kade, Luke, and Alex giving her lots and lots and lots and lots of attention.

My efforts of getting a group shot!


Valerie taking it all in.

Alex also began taking gymnastics in January. She loved it! Here she is tumbling down the mats.

She had a hard time on the bar. She was not able to hold her feet in place long enough.

Alex also loved the balance beam.....even though mom had to help with that too!

This was by far her favorite thing. She would laugh so hard while she was swinging on the bars. When the teacher would stop for her to drop off she would hold on hoping for another turn.

Everyone doing circle time!

Not much to post for Jan-Feb. Check back soon. I hope to have everything posted in about 3 weeks.

I AM BACK!!!!

Check back soon. I am in the process of adding new pics and changing our page!
