Happy Birthday Baby Bird!

I noticed a lot of noise this morning since I had the window open. I told Alexis she better check and see if a baby bird had hatched yet. YES! One has hatched, exactly two weeks after mommy bird laid the first egg.

Katie visits!

Katie from Alabama visits Alexis. These two girls are only a few months apart in age. They also look very similar with the long brown hair and dark brown eyes. They played outside and came in for a popcorn snack and movie. Of course Alexis chose to watch her favorite movie, Wall-E. Then it was time to tie the blankets around them for capes. Nolen also had fun chasing both of them. He didn't want to share his favorite toy gun with the girls.

Mr. Tom Foolery has nothing on my husband!

You can kill turkey's on rainy days. RIP 4-19-09. 21 lbs. 9 3/4 in beard. Mr. Dead Eye flipped him backwards at 14 steps away. Pete wants to give a holler out to Brad & Steve Manns turkey double today. Pete had the joy of calling for them. This was Steve's first gobbler! Congrats!

Alexis & Nolen model the 4 wheeler.

My husband decided to help stimulate the economy and add some BLING to his hunting buggy. Now all he needs is the fuzzy dice.

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.
