Oh Noah

Today Noah found my mascara and was not happy when I removed it from his kung-fu grip.He even got it in the back of his hair.

This was spaghetti night and noah decided to put the noodles, meat and sauce on his head. Niiiice.

Truitt and Noah's school program

Truitt and Noah performed their end of the year program last night. It was adorable. The theme was a Carnival and they had a blast! Noah's class song was "Dance like an animal". Every child dressed as an animal and Noah was a monkey. Truitt's class had a western theme and they danced to the song "Ice Cream Freeze". Both boys really know how to dance and and enjoyed being the center of attention. : ) I am so proud of them both.

This pose is for the line in the song..."now lets chill"

We love Mrs. Carol - one of Truitt's teachers.

Truitt's 4th birthday party

Truitt is 4 years old on May 5th…4 years old! I can’t believe it. He brings us so much joy. He’s a funny kid that makes us laugh all the time. He loves music and enjoys dancing and performing. He’s smart and very observant. He is an awesome big brother and has a sensitive heart for others. What a blessing Joshua Truitt Ross is to my life!

Sunday was the much anticipated birthday party at Chuck e. Cheese’s. Last year we held our mostly out-door oriented party indoors because of an awful storm that later went on to cause the Nashville flood. This year we hoped for better…nope. We drove through a severe thunderstorm to get to the party and then listened to tornado sirens up until 10 minutes before the party started. : ) Almost everyone came to the party and Truitt had a great time. We found that he LOVES the games, but did not care for the life-sized mouse. Happy birthday Truitt!

Best Buds - Truitt, Logan and Josh

He loved the horse game. Always so serious.

He did not like the truck...neither did Noah.

Yummy ice cream cake!

When Chuck e. came out Truitt went nuts. He was deathly afraid of him. Our hostess is begging him to participate. HA!

Truitt stayed in my lap until Chuck e. left the room.

"Stay away from this kid"

Truitt wanted to know where he was at all times.

Easter

I am always excited for Easter to roll around. This year we have been focused on the story of Jesus leading up to Easter Sunday more than usual because we bought Resurrection Eggs. For the 12 days leading up to Easter we opened a new egg every morning and talked about the events leading up to Jesus rising from the grave. It has been fun and I think it captivated Truitt. He has wanted to read the story of Jesus dying on the cross every day for a while now. Here are some new pictures of the boys. If you ask Truitt what Easter is about he will tell/yell at you, "Jesus is ALIVE!"

My new favorite flower, a Peony. FAN-TASTIC!

The boys 1st beach

Last weekend we were all in Houston, TX visiting Josh's brother Jonathan and his family while we both spoke at a youth conference called Soul Link. It was a great and busy weekend. When we left to make our way home we stopped down in Galveston to let the boys visit the beach for the first time. It was priceless! Josh's family has been on many family vacations down in Galveston/crystal beach. Great memories. We took the ferry and then stayed about 30 minutes on crystal beach. Here are the pictures. Love, Kayci

It was very windy on the ferry

we saw one dolphin!

Truitt LOVED the beach

Noah, not so sure...

playing games

Josh had them wait til the last second and then they would run from the waves. There was a lot of squealing.

Noah loved running from the waves, until he fell and then he was not happy. : )

He kept saying "Owie, owie, owie!"

Good bye beach. We will be back!
