Double Birthday Party

This year we combined the boys' birthdays since they are about one month apart (well, technically close to 2 months, but whose counting!?) We had a super hero theme (surprise, surprise!) I couldn't believe how hot it was outside even though we had a morning party! We all had a lot of fun in spite of the heat.

We were able to see bees at work in a hive. We had to go inside the garage away from the outdoors because bees kept coming and trying to get inside the hive.

We learned that boy bees do not have stingers, so they are safe to hold.

Happy Easter!

We had a fun trip to Nana & Pappy's house for Easter. The boys got nerf guns and MG got a fun bee hop game that all 3 of them love to play! We had a nice dinner on the Chattahoochee River Sunday and the kids got to hunt eggs too. JC found the silver egg & won a huge basket full of toys and candy. MG's favorite part was sitting in the Easter Bunny's lap (aka the Easter "Nunny").

JC's caterpillar that he found late Sunday afternoon...he is totally unafraid of creatures!

MG's Playdate

Here are some sweet pictures of MG and her friend MR on their girlie playdate a few weeks ago! So sweet!

Our New Piano

We got a piano this weekend. A family at our church was giving it away to anyone that could come pick it up. We found some movers that could do it for a reasonable price and the rest is history. Here are some cute pictures of the kids playing it.

Super Heroes

We had a fun Super Hero birthday party this afternoon for our friend Anderson. The kids played in their backyard in the bouncer and had lots of sword fights. We also had pizza and birthday cake and ice cream and then the kids took turns swinging at a Superman pinata. KK actually burst it open with his Super Hero strength! :)

Super Daddy!

Super 2-year olds

KK claimed the massive hit that busted open the pinata!

The Big Day

KK had a nice surprise on his birthday...Nana and Pappy came up to visit! They brought both boys their birthday presents (even though JC has another month for his b'day)...and they even brought a special surprise for MG--a supergirl costume! They enjoyed watching JC play soccer and especially enjoyed the antics of Coach Rob. :) We made cupcakes and both boys enjoyed their life-like lion cubs from Nana and Pappy. KK also got a surprise from his friend Sam--a white power ranger! And, one of his friends also stopped by with balloons for all 3 kids. It was a special day! I can't believe my baby is 6!

Bibleman and Bible Times Costumes

This week was KK's 6th birthday and he got to open a present each day leading up to the big day. The first day, he opened a Bibleman costume. He saw it in the Lifeway catalog a few months ago and asked for it for his birthday. He carried the catalog around with him and kept reminding me of pages 10 and 11...those were the pages with all the Bibleman stuff. :) Daddy also did school a few days this week with KK and one day they dressed up in similar clothing from Bible times. Both boys looked really cute! Daddy did a good job!
