Spring Break 2012 Part 1

This has been a crazy busy spring break for us so far. And it's all been planned for me, which is great! I haven't had to plan very many activities because we already had so much on our calendars for the week.

We started out with my aunt's 50th birthday party at Superior Grill on Friday night. My cousins babysat and it was a nice little break away for Jeremy & I.

On Saturday we had my neighbor McKenzie's (the little girl I keep) 3rd birthday party. It was a lot of fun with everyone in their green and hanging out with good friends. They had a huge bouncy house castle which entertained the kids pretty much all day. On Saturday night we went to a beautiful outdoor wedding for some family friends. It was so fun being able to wear tank tops, strapless dresses, john johns, and no tights!!

On Sunday we went to my inlaws for a cookout for all the March birthdays. My MIL, SIL, and husband all have birthdays within the same week of each other. It was a once again a nice hot day and we rode 4 wheelers outside with everyone for most of the afternoon.

Of course, I got no pictures of anything during the weekend and I hate that because it was all so much fun! But also very busy so I guess that's why I forgot my camera?

On Monday we went to the local park with our other neighbors. It was extremely hot and we went early! I don't know how we're going to be able to handle the summer with this weather so hot already!!?!!

I had to work all day Tuesday, but while they were at my parents house MR got ahold of some scisors and gave Carter a nice little bald spot in the back of his head ;)

Wednesday, we ran errands, went grocery shopping and cleaned house because we have MN relatives coming in town today. The kids played outside and had fun finger painting!

 Carter had more fun painting his belly...but whatever!

Jeremy bought a car from a co-worker he's planning on fixing up and re-selling, so the kids helped him clean it up.

 And then the kids and I made his favorite strawberry cupcakes for Jeremy to bring to work today to celebrate his birthday.

.....Happy 33rd Birthday Jeremy!! We love you!!

We have a fun filled next few days in store for us with out of town relatives here to celebrate my grandmother's 75th birthday. I can't wait!! More posts to come on that... I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring Break too!



#1 vs. #2

"The game of the century" as some people called it.....Alabama vs. LSU!! This past weekend we loaded up both kids and went to ttown to tailgate with family and friends and even got to be on GAME DAY!! Check this out!

That big black thing to the left of the picture below kind of just "floating" in the sky was the ESPN game day camera going accross a line back and forth while we were told to cheer.

Aunt Aimee and Matt were the ones holding our kids up for the camera to see.

Then we came back to hang out at the tailgate and fill up our bellies with good food (and drinks)....

These dogs were causing a major hold up on the side walk so I had to see what was making all that comotion...pretty cute and funny!

One of the many wagon rides they went on

Man, they look so happy don't they??

And then Thomas and Maci Rose decided they were gonna try to take a nap....

 

 While we tried to keep our monkey from climbing on the cooler!!

 Repeatedly.......

 And again....

 And again...

 And again....

And yet once again!!

 Worn out yet? We were! This kid just doesn't listen!

 Who me??

 

Maci Rose found ways to entertain herself as usual

 Discussing with Maci Rose about how to get us to go home...

 

Ok buddy, we took the hint!

  So we left about an hour before game time and headed to Aunt Di's house to watch it!

Even though we lost, we played a good game and I honestly feel like we beat ourselves! There's always next year,,,right???

Oh....and I totally forgot to mention that I ran into Taylor Hicks on the quad and my sister and I got a picture with him. Pretty cool, huh?

ROLL TIDE!!
