Last week Robert took the boys to their annual Barons night out with his office.

They had plenty of fun…and plenty of junk food!

Samantha and I decided to have a girl’s night out and had dinner at Bricktop’s! I think our food was definitely better!

A night on the town for all!

Barons night out: 2015, 2016, 2017 when Spencer got lost, 2018, 2019, no 2020 thanks to Covid, and then 2021!

Would love to hear from you! 2 Comments

Easter

April 19, 2022

We woke up bright and early Easter morning and were happy to see that the bunny had brought some treats!

The bunny also hid our eggs in the wrong yard! Oops! Sometimes the bunny outsources and, well, good help is hard to find.

We then got all dressed up and managed to get a few pictures in before it started raining. It was a misty, yuck morning but at least it wasn’t pouring rain…yet!

Samantha wore one of my old dresses like last Easter. This bluebird dress was smocked and sewed by GJ and Susu and it makes me so happy to see her in it! I need to find a picture of me in it!

We went to the new church we’ve been visiting and it was a really nice Easter service.

As soon as we got out of church we hit the road to Montgomery…in the pouring rain! The kids also realized they had forgotten to stick in their iPads so had to try and entertain themselves on the drive with no electronics!! How in the world did they survive?!

Turns out, they survived just fine! They actually talked to each other and had fun together! Imagine that?!

We met Lou Lou, Grandaddy, Jenny, Ronnie, Katie and Anna at the country club for an Easter feast and then some visiting back at the house.

That evening we were lucky to have a break in the rain just long enough to have our neighborhood party and egg hunt! I think we had a record number of kids and plenty of fun! Love this tradition.

It was a wonderful Easter from morning to night despite the weather!

Weekend

April 18, 2022

We had half of the weekend with the prettiest weather and half a rainy mess! We made the most of the pretty half! Friday night dinner by the pool while the clubhouse is closed…

It was delightful! Unfortunately Saturday morning was rainy and all sports were cancelled but it cleared up by the afternoon so these three got to play in the Par 3 Tournament!

Skiing

April 12, 2022

On Sunday morning we took the kids down to ski school. None of us really knew what to expect – and when we arrived before 9:00 we also didn’t know it didn’t actually start until 10:00! That was ok though – it gave us plenty of time to get situated and get the kids where they needed to be.

They were all in a group together with 3 other kids and an instructor named Spencer.

They all seemed pretty excited and had no problem letting us leave. Phew!

Robert and I then went back and got geared up for a fun day of skiing together!

We hit up green runs all morning trying to find our ski legs again. Robert’s ski legs seem to come back much faster and easier than mine! ha! Robert spent the morning zooming down and then waiting on me to make my way down the mountain. He’s a good skier and a good sport!

After lunch we were feeling pretty comfortable so went on a blue run. I promptly bit the dust 10 seconds into the run. But, I got back up, figured out what I needed to do and made it down. We then skied blues the rest of the day with no issues. I just needed a little time to get going! It was a pretty – and warm! – day. Temps were in the 50s and 60s and we were peeling out of layers all day. Also gotta love this goggle and helmet head!

We picked up the kids that afternoon and they had all had the BEST day! They loved ski school and were so excited to show us what they had learned so we went down the bunny hill with us a few times to show off their new skills!

I was so impressed with how quickly they picked it up! The most fun day for all!!

We made it back to the hotel and hit up the hot tub…can’t beat it.

We were tired…the best kind of worn out from all the fun tired…so ordered room service and called it a night! A great first day of skiing!
