Vacation and a Happy Easter






Wow! We needed a vacation to get over our vacation. Those boys wanted to GO constantly. We left on a Tuesday morning at about 5 a.m. Our thought was that the boys would SLEEP on the way to Gatlinburg. HA! At midnight in the hotel room, Parker was still going strong. And at 7 the next morning, he was hovering over my sleeping self, asking what we were going to do today! Logan needed much more rest than his brother, but he was still pretty pumped to find out what the day would bring. Our first real vacation attempt was great, and although we may only go somewhere for several days every couple of years, I am glad we got it started.
Easter was beautiful, and although my Mama Cole has been in the hospital, it's been a great few weeks. She has had struggles, but we have seen His healing hand, too. The trials make the triumphs so much sweeter! We were able to visit with her a little on Easter and that was so nice.
We enjoyed hearing the Inspirations at our church - I was amazed at the blessing I received!
We have a busy few weeks ahead, with a wedding shower for my sister-in-law next weekend, Crimson Caravan (woohoo Coach Saban), and a special premiere screening of 'Thor' in the works. I am getting tired just thinking about it! Oh, and my precious little baby (someday he will read this and say, "good grief Mom!") Logan graduates from preschool on the 12th of May! I don't know if I am ready for this. My last little preschooler is preparing for Kindergarten in the fall! Thank you, Lord, for such healthy, happy little boys!

Oh, Spring!






Please don't go away again...

Our pants are getting too short, our sleeves are riding high, and our toes are pushing ever so slightly to the end of our tennis shoes. We need shorts, tanks and crocs! These are the things my children LIVE in during the spring and summer. I packed all of the winter clothes away and cursed us with a cold spurt. But hopefully it's the last one.

We are gearing up for a vacation to Gatlinburg, and we are so excited! It will be our first official trip to...anywhere! Bryan and I never took a honeymoon, we have never stayed more than a night or two away, and the boys have never been anywhere but to visit family. I think we are going to have a blast! Will be posting pictures when we return.

We have a lot on the agenda this year, and I will hopefully be in the blogging spirit. Posting some pictures we took of the boys in Easter outfits in the green grass to welcome spring!

Oh, and that handsome little guy in the picture with the boys is my beautiful nephew, Mason!
