Babies on the way!

Baby birdies will soon be arriving almost right at our front door. On Easter Sunday we noticed one Robin egg in the nest located in the evergreen bush right out our front door. Every day since then the momma bird has laid one egg a day. Now there are four eggs. We are hoping for better success than last year. If you recall, a snake found the baby birds before they could fly. Alexis is so excited and runs to check the nest as soon as we get home. I'll let you know when they hatch!

Coloring Easter Eggs

We colored 2 dozen eggs on Friday.

If you notice, Nolen is not in the photos. I decided that we would color eggs while he was napping. There would be less mess that way. Anyway, he has a bad cough and a nose that won't stop. I call him my snot machine.

Church Easter Egg Hunt

Sunday was the perfect day to have the Easter egg hunt......INDOORS AGAIN!


Every year it rains when the hunt is scheduled.


Alexis shows how many she collected.




Nolen finds one in the pew.


Nolen wins a carrot bat and daddy shows him the correct way to hold it.




Dad I think you're going to need more than doggy ears to keep your head warm in this weather.
Danny you posed for another picture. I thought you learned your lesson last time. Now you're back on the blog again. NICE EARS!!!

Alexis attends her first wedding

Courtney & Aaron on their way to get bubbled! Hey when I got married we used rice. Bring back the rice!

On Saturday I took Alexis to a wedding. She had a lot of questions throughout the ceremony, but behaved good.


A few photos of Alexis before the wedding.




How about this for a cake topper, deer heads and hunters on top.


Alexis with her good friend Abby. They had a lot of fun on the dance floor. A little boy even asked Alexis for a dance. It was a fast song not a slow one. Some how Alexis ended up falling down and got a red mark by her eye.

Pretty flowers that don't last long

Every year I take Alexis' picture in front of these flowers. It blooms and then in less than a week, they are all on the ground. Usually the wind and rain completely wipe out the blossoms. It's raining today, so they will probably be all gone by tomorrow.

Nolen saw the flowers and tried to eat them. He still puts EVERYTHING in his mouth.

Family fun night at school

I'm a little late about getting these photos posted considering the family fun night was a few weeks ago. Better late than never I guess.
A story teller uses a fishing pole and guitar to tell a story about singing to catch fish. Of course all the little ones wanted a turn with the fishing pole.

Alexis takes her turn with Oobi eyes.

Alexis and her friend Bentley eat icing sandwiches. They had gummy worms to put inside them. Yum Yum!

You MUST Go See Peter Pan!

I took Alexis to the Peter Pan play last night at our local college. It was wonderful and even included the actors flying. We had a great time and the cast did a great job. So if you are in the area, get tickets and go see it. You won't be disappointed!

Here is Alexis with Peter Pan after the show. The actor is just a sophomore in High School, but acted like a professional.

Alexis with Captain Hook. We know this actor, Pete went to school with him. We didn't know he could act and sing.

After the show, you could purchase fairy dust. Here is Alexis with her bag. She was instructed NOT to throw it in the house. This will be an outside activity.

FYI - My days of dial up service will FINALLY come to an end. We are getting wireless internet in a few weeks.
