Daddy’s Birthday!

Devin turned 33 last week. We headed out to Dreher Island to go camping with his parents, sisters’ family, and my parents. We had a great time! We played on playgrounds, went on hikes, went fishing, ate yummy food by the fire, and just had a great time outdoors. The kids love exploring and collecting. So thankful for beautiful weather and a weekend to unplug from the every day hustle and bustle.  Happy birthday Devin! We love you!!!

Golf Outing

We love joining Devin to play golf sometimes. Here are some pictures of our most recent outing. The kids love driving their own cart and I actually hit a better shot than Devin on the first hole! (We won’t talk about the rest of them! 🙂 )We enjoyed watching the Masters on tv last weekend. Maybe one year we’ll be able to actually go!IMG_7095IMG_7096IMG_7100IMG_7097IMG_7099IMG_7098

The kids in AC and Charlie’s class get to take turns bringing Freddy Frog home with them and journaling about what they do. We’ve had fun recently with him!IMG_7207IMG_7223

Pi Day 3/14/16 – of course we math people have to celebrate!FullSizeRender

Last but not least, Charlie had another EEG. The medicine is working! No seizures. He will have to continue taking the medicine twice a day and we go back in June to see the neurologist. We are so thankful he is doing well!IMG_7235

Friday before Easter we headed to Fox farm with our friends.  The kids got to ride a horse, go on a hayride, feed a goat, and go on an egg hunt.  It was fun!IMG_7255IMG_7256IMG_7257IMG_7262  That evening we ate dinner at Granny and Papa’s and dyed eggs.

IMG_7265IMG_7266IMG_7337Saturday AC was under the weather, so she and I stayed home and rested while the boys went hiking to peachtree rock. 12439435_10103882626721847_5354591364115145554_n12495103_10103882626696897_8110231891953542689_n That night we had dinner with my parents and grandparents.FullSizeRenderIMG_7267IMG_7269

Charlie-man/Buddy Bear…this precious boy is our little scientist, loves basketball, is good at math, a Lego builder, Minecraft player, sword fighting, Star Wars loving, compassionate boy. Likes playing outside with Nerf guns, needs his sleep, meat loving, apple eating, snaggle-tooth.  Likes Jackson 5 music, favorite shows are Kickin It and Scooby Doo, and reading his Rocket Raccoon and Groot books with mommy.  His interest are just like his Daddy’s but he’s a Momma’s boy!

On Friday, Aunt Melanie picked them up from school, took them to Menchies and then to Virginia Hylton park!IMG_7018

Saturday we had family over for lunch.  I say this all the time, but we are so incredibly blessed to have so much family so close. We even got to FaceTime Aunt Bekah and her kiddos too! That night we took the kids out to dinner at Olive Garden.IMG_7021IMG_7023

Sunday was the day for their friend parties.  AC and some friends headed to Empire Gymnastics for some fun in the gym and Charlie and some buddies headed to Frankies Fun Park for laser tag, go carts, and arcade fun! The kids had a blast and we are so thankful for fun friends! IMG_7035IMG_7036IMG_7040IMG_7052IMG_7059IMG_7064IMG_7065That night we had to keep up with our tradition of putting balloons in their rooms.  Here are a couple dark pictures…I didn’t want to wake them.

Monday was their actual birthday! They got to be on the WOGE news show at their school leading the pledge and we also took sweet treats to their class during lunch. IMG_7070IMG_7078 That evening they got presents from Mommy and Daddy (which was a trip to Atlanta over spring break…pictures to come later) and dinner at Grouchos!

Their friend Hannah was sick during AC’s party, so she and her brother came over to play one day after school that week.

The Bonesteels were sick and Granny had something at her church the day of their party so we got to celebrate with them the next weekend(while we were at the lake house for Grandpa and Uncle Brandon’s birthdays!) Whew! Lots of celebrating going on! 🙂IMG_7129

Happy Birthday Anna Claire and Charlie!  We love you!!
