All Dressed Up For the Ball!

LoriAnne was invited to a Royal Ball (her friend Alyse's b-day party). LoriAnne dressed up as Ariel. She had soooooo much fun at the "Princess" party. LoriAnne's hair doesn't look that great in the photo but in person it came out perfect for the "Ball". I am actually having fun with her short hair!

Joy School at Holly's

Today LoriAnne had Joy School at Holly's house. The lesson was on Imagination and Creativity -Theater. Holly practiced some skits with the kids. The other mom's and I came back to Holly's house early to watch the children act out their parts in the skits. It was very cute. Holly did a great job with this. The kids had fun too!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!
We did not get any good pics of the kids. We did not have enough time to take pictures before church so we tried to get pics after church. The kids were tired and uncooperative plus the girls hair that I spent so much time on did not look like it did before church. Oh WELL! They are adorable and they are ours and we love them! Jonathan refused to sit by his sisters and brother. He definitely has a mind of his own!

I have PROOF! My mom was here!!!

I am not good at remembering to take pics of the kids with Grandma. BUT this time I did :) My mom came to Tennessee for 3 weeks! She arrived March 19th and left April 11th. She spent part of the time with us and the other part of the time at my sister's. The grandkids LOVED to see her and miss her! Grandpa wasn't able to come this trip but he was missed and hopefully will be able to make it next time.

Easter Egg Hunt

A church over by my sister's house was having an Easter Egg Hunt (40,000 eggs total). Free food, rides, games, etc. So on my mom's last day here we went with my sister's family, my mom, and all of us to the Easter Egg Hunt. The kids had a blast and they got too many eggs! Such a fun day even if it was chilly outside. The kids didn't even seem to notice that it was cold.

Spring Break - Day 3 - Tennessee Aquarium

We went to the Aquarium in Chattanooga for Day 3 of Spring Break. Dave took the day off of work. My mom and my sister's family went too. It was soooo much fun. This was our first time going. Chattanooga is between 2-3 hours away from us. It was worth the trip. I love spending time with our kids.

Spring Break - Day 2 - Jump Zone

Another fun day on spring break. This would be the next favorite place to go. I love Jump Zone because it tires the kids out jumping on the bouncers for 3 hours. My mom was in town so she stayed home with my boys. So it was a girls day out!

Spring Break - Day 1 - Discovery Center Museum

I did not remember my camera. BUT there are already plenty of pics on my blog from the museum. We had a blast though! I LOVE this museum almost as much as my kids do :)

Joy School...Last time for me to teach!

This was my final time of teaching Joy School for this school year. It has been fun. I wish I had taken more pics from this day. The kids are playing with play do in the picture but the lesson was on Creativity and Imagination with Instruments. We made drums and shakers. The kids all had a blast playing with them & creating their own music.
