Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Momma, Susu, GJ, Lulu, Mrs. Susan…they all mean mother to us! Sending lots of love to our favorite mommas….
We’re so lucky to have you all and love you VERY much!!!
I get to be Momma to the 3 best kids around. I even got to go to school yesterday for muffins with Maxwell where I saw the portrait he drew of me…
Pretty spot on with the hair and striped shirt! 🙂
I sure do love this awesome big kid…
This funny little boy…
and this sweet baby girl.
Happy Mother’s Day!
The Lightning Bolts – that might be the new name of Spencer’s soccer team. He and I still vote for the Mighty Lions but we’ll see what the winner is next week! It was a good Sunday at the soccer field. Spencer loved the warmup part of soccer most – especially getting to play red light, green light!
Look at his face! He’s having a ball!
The yellow team had plenty of sibling helpers around…
Including one very cute little sister!
Spencer was showing off his skills during practice…
and having fun with his new teammates.
It was then time for the game and he had some great moves out on the field. He hustled after the ball and played hard!
He then got bumped on the head and ultimately decided he’d rather play off to the side with Maxwell and the other siblings. We’re working on understanding that you can’t just bail in the middle of your game to go do something else! 🙂 As Coach Robert said, “he did better than last game and that’s all we can ask!” Exactly. This game was an improvement over the last one and I’m proud of him for getting out there!
What made this game even more special? We had the best cheerleader on the sidelines!
We love soccer even more when GJ gets to come! yay!
Go Mighty Lion Lightning Bolts!
Hoppy Easter! The kids woke up Easter morning happy to see the bunny had visited! He brought Legos (of course), Lion Guard and Minnie Mouse plates, and some cool jungle animal hatching eggs! Fun!
The bunny also left a note that, because of the rain, all the eggs were hidden in the garage and under the covered patio. Thanks Easter Bunny!
Because of the weather, missed naps, and enduring coughs, Robert and Maxwell were the only ones to make it to church. They went to the early 8:00 service while Spencer, Samantha, and I stayed home. We got the house ready for all of our Easter visitors that showed up for lunch! Since everyone was coming to our house, we didn’t get dressed up in our Easter “finest” but we still tried to look cute!
This dress is the one that Susu and GJ made for baby and she wore to the egg hunt last year. She was basically too cute for words in her pretty pink dress! 🙂
We had a house full and had a good lunch with plenty of visiting!
We were so glad everyone could make the trip to be together. Happy Easter!
On Saturday we all got dressed in our spring colors and headed down to the annual Inscoe egg hunt outside of Wetumpka. We go every year and it’s always fun for the kids and good for Robert to see some old friends. Years past… 2015 and 2013 and 2012 and 2011.
My crew looked cute and ready for Easter!
It was a beautiful day – not too hot with a mixture of clouds and sun. Although, we seemed to have found the most sunny spot for this picture!
That’s better…
Baby loved stomping all around the place with as many Easter baskets as she could hold…
and she might have found an egg before the hunt officially started! I don’t think anyone minded. 🙂
The boys loved running around during the hunt to find eggs – and everyone got plenty of eggs this time around, thank goodness! The Easter Bunny later threw out little stuffed animals and Spencer and I managed to snag a lion for him and a cheetah for Maxwell! Perfect! The boys favorite part of the day though? Getting to play with Katie and Anna of course!
We tried to get a pic of all 5 cousins together but baby wasn’t exactly cooperating…
She wanted to be roaming around eating candy!
It was a beautiful day for hunting eggs!
See you tomorrow!
Backing up a bit….after our 2.5 days in Disney, Robert flew back to Birmingham and I went to Naples with the kids and GJ and Daddo. We stayed for 5 days and enjoyed every second! We played, swam, dug in the sand, rode scooters, colored, watched movies, ate ice cream, threw coins in the fountain, and just had a ball being in the warm weather! We even got to take a trip to the walk in clinic for the doctor to check out Spencer’s ear. He had swimmer’s ear (that ended up not clearing up and turning into a middle ear infection when we got back to Birmingham! ugh!). Even with the doctor visit, it was still a fantastic visit!
Our trip home was super fancy. GJ and Daddo hooked us up with a private plane and it didn’t take my kids very long to get used to the VIP life! 🙂
I could get used to it too! Thanks for a great stay as always GJ and Daddo! When are we coming back??
