A few cute pictures....


These are just some random pictures that I have taken over the last few weeks.


We went to the Toad Suck festival for a little while. It was so packed that we didn't want to stay very long. The kids were OK with that since I let them get a frozen chocolate banana before we left. They were huge!

These are some pictures of the kids all dressed up for church.
They just looked so cute this morning!


After lunch the kids ate a new snack. I made strawberry/tofu pureed cones with fresh fruit on top. I have been trying to come up with healthier snacks for Graham since he doesn't hardly eat anything. I have also made homemade chocolate pudding with pureed tofu, waffle mix with sweet potatoes, lemon poppyseed cake with pureed carrots, and a few more.



To end this post......Caroline doing her new "trick". Maybe she will be a cheerleader too!

Camping!!!!



The first camping trip of the year! We went up to Choctaw on Greers Ferry Lake. The kids had a blast! The kids and I arrived at the camp site Friday afternoon. Benjamin would come after work. I unloaded everything and even set up the tent all by myself! I was so proud!






Graham loved playing in the dirt. He stayed filthy the entire time!
Each night we went to get a big bucket of warm water and washed him head to toe.



He literally rolled in the dirt!


Graham didn't know what to think of the tent. He loved it! After we set it up I had to go pay at the little guard shack. I put Graham in the stroller and we walked to it. When he saw that we were the leaving the campsite he through a fit! He kept reaching back towards the site and yelling No!!! I think he would have lived there forever.


Graham learned to slide all by himself at the park. We got our campsite right by the play area.







We all had a good time. I think we will have to give ourselves time to recover though....Keeping up with a one and half year old at the lake was pretty exhausting.

The Easter Bunny is Coming!



This Easter we went to Mississippi to visit Mimi, Aunt Beka, and Uncle Jacob.
We all had a great time.


On Saturday we went to the mall in Tupelo. The kids love going to this mall because there is a carousel and an indoor play ground.









On Easter morning Caroline woke up at 5:30am and went with Mimi to a sunrise service that she had to play the piano for. I couldn't believe Caroline went that early! When they got back we woke up Graham and Benjamin and went to find what the Easter Bunny brought us!




When Graham saw his Easter basket the first ting he does is pick up a piece of chocolate and take a bite, wrapper and all! Can you tell I don't allow him to eat candy often? We had to remove his candy from his basket pretty quickly.







At Mimi's house the kids wake up at the crack of dawn. There was lots of "play time" before we had to leave for church. The kids played outside while the rest of us were getting ready.




This is the only picture I could get of the two kiddos. Graham had been up since 6:30 am and was not going to be good for pictures.


Right before we left for church Graham sat on the concrete that Caroline had been decorating with chalk. The back of his white shorts got pink chalk all over the bottom! I took them off him immediately and tried to get the chalk off the best I could. I was NOT happy. Finally we had to leave so I just put them back on him and hoped no one would notice.

Ben and his brother, Jacob.
