Baseball




Carter had his first ballgame of the spring season. They won 19 to 14!

Little River Canyon




















On the way home from Chattanooga, we visited Little River Canyon. It is located right outside of Fort Payne, AL. It is a 12 mile drive with beautiful scenery, hiking, etc. We really enjoyed this!

Kennedy and Carter at Rock City








Kennedy and Carter both climbed the rock wall at Rock City. Kennedy made it to the top of the easy and hard side. Carter made it half way up. They both had a great time and the view was awesome!

Chattanooga for Spring Break



































We spent spring break in Chattanooga, TN. We had a blast. It was so nice to take the kids somewhere I visited as a child. We visited the aquarium, Ruby Falls, Rock City, and the Incline Railway. We stayed at the Chattanooga Hotel. The kids enjoyed swimming in the indoor pool. The Lady Tar Hills were staying there at the same time. Can't wait to go back.

Day at Oak Mountain State Park












The kids and I spent a day at Oak Mountain State Park in Pelham. We started with the petting zoo, visited the "beach", went paddle boating, and went on a hike. We had such a good time and the weather was perfect.

Girls Trip to Nashville











Rochelle, Susan, Jill and I traveled to Nashville for a wonderful girls trip. We had a blast. Jill and I flew in from Birmingham; Susan flew in from Dallas, and Ro drove up from Jackson. We spent Friday afternoon shopping in Franklin. What a cute town. Loved it! We ate at Chappy's on Church Friday night. Chappy's used to be on the coast. We ate there all of the time when we lived in Gulfport. He moved to Nashville after Katrina. He came out to see us and and we had a wonderful dinner. Saturday, we slept in and spent most of the day shopping in Nashville. We went downtown that night. We were so exhausted after all that, we had dinner in the hotel restaurant. Sunday morning, Ro had to leave us, so Jill, Susan, and I ate at the Noshville Diner and spent the afternoon visiting before flying home that night. We are already planning next year's trip.

Kennedy and Daddy Date Night
















Kennedy had such a great birthday. She and I went to lunch, shopped, and spent the afternoon at Sweet and Sassy getting her nails and hair done. That night, Brad took Kennedy to the ballet to see Cinderella. They attended a dinner before and got to meet dancers from the Alabama Ballet. It was special night for them. She used all of the money she received from relatives to buy an IPod touch.

Kennedy turns 9!!!!
















Kennedy turned 9 on February 21st. I went to the school and bought slushies for her class. Mrs. Hester was so nice and Kennedy was so excited to get her picture with her teacher (notice the blue teeth). Later that night, she had a sleepover with 12 girls. I am now officially retired from sleepovers. It was exhausting. She had alot of fun and the girls were great. We did a couple of painting activities, skits, wii tournaments, etc. Carter was the "bell hop" and took care of everyone's bags.

Carter Lost a Tooth






Since the first tooth he lost was pulled by the dentist because of a fall, this was his first real tooth loss. He played with it for days, then his kindergarten teacher pulled it. Thank God. I can't even look at a wiggley tooth. He was so excited about his $2 and 4 quarters.
