Mother's Day

The kindergarten teachers at Noah's school had a breakfast for all the moms, it was so sweet!  The kids made us all kinds of precious presents.

After breakfast, we got to go to chapel with them!

That afternoon I got to go to a Mother's Day tea at Elli's preschool.  I was happy they had it on the one day a week she goes to school!  She did not care about waking up from her nap to join me for tea.  Ha!

I enticed her with cookies and she finally decided to wake up.

Sunday after church, we went to my parent's house and ate Olive Garden!  So thankful that I get to be mama to these sweet babies.

 Big boy!

 Memaw and pappaw.

 Little Tomboy.  She loves digging in the dirt (in her church clothes!).

 We went home for Ellianna's nap and after she woke up, the kids gave me some goodies.

Gone Fishin'

We have finally been having some beautiful weather!  We took advantage of it one Sunday afternoon and took the kids fishing at one of our little neighborhood ponds.

Her cuteness...

Determination...

Reeling in daddy or the fish?

They caught one!

Falls Creek

I got to go to Falls Creek for the first time last month!  My hubby was gracious enough to encourage me to go to the women's retreat with our church.  He grew up going to Falls Creek and then took kids there as a youth intern.  It was fun to go after hearing about it for so long!

We had great speakers, Angie Smith and Lisa Harper and great worship leaders.

Back in the day, they had a (HOT) open-air tabernacle.  Six years ago, they built a HUUUGE air-conditioned tabernacle building.  It seats 7,200!

This is our fun little group.  Such wonderful women! We had a great time!

Patience is a Virtue

"Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit."  Ecclesiastes  7:8

Miss Ellianna Kate got the character award at preschool in April.  I chuckled when I found out it was for patience!  Don't get me wrong, she's sweeeeeet! But patient isn't one of the first words I would use to describe her.  :) Thankfully she's a good girl for her teachers at school at church.

So proud!

Her picture on the wall at school.

Good job, sister!

The Coach Pitch Cardinals

Noah is playing coach pitch this season!

It was still SO cold for his first five games.  We had to bundle up like it was football season!  Hopefully that is all behind us.  Although it was 75 yesterday and today there's a chance for snow!  CA-RAZY!

First game, Noah had to play catcher!  The gear is about 3 sizes too big and he could barely move!  We laughed so hard, poor bubba!

Warming up at home before the game.

I think he looks so handsome in his uniform.

Batter up!

Love this pic.  Giving daddy a fist bump through the fence.  So proud of himself for scoring a run.

"Good game, good game, good game..."

Looth Tooth

Noah lost his first tooth in March!  I'm so behind.

He noticed it was loose one day and it wiggled out the next!  Daddy was in Houston, so I'm thankful Noah was so tough about it.  With the blood and all, I wasn't sure what to expect.  He handled it like a champ, though.
