Happy Anniversary

May 15th, Eric and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. So much happens in a year and when we put seven together it feels like we have accomplished and experienced 2 lifetimes worth of adventures. I look forward to many many more. 

Mother's Day

As you saw already, we spent Mother's Day in Misssissippi. It was nice celebrating both Grandmothers and my mom as well as my aunts and cousins who are all mothers. Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

Mother's Day Surprise

Flash back all the way to MAY! Yes it is true i am that far behind. Sorry about that but life is always in my way! :) Aunt Sherri and Uncle Raymond flew in to surprise my Grandmother for Mother's day. We met them at the airport and followed them over to Mississippi. Wasn't that a great gift. I hope my kids do stuff like that when i get older.

At this point i thought she might be having a heart attack.  I think she thought the same thing. HA.

I have been told most of my life that i am just like my Aunt Sherri. That could be quite dangerous for the rest of you. HA.

We had an amazing time visiting with family.

Face painting

The face painting started last Halloween. The kids LOVED it. I thought it would be a nice treat for the neighbor kids at the Easter eggs hunt. 

Of course i couldn't find the paint i had last year so i had to go buy a new set (secretly happy about that, now if my old set would return it would be GREAT). The kids loved it and that led to random days at home with  saber tooth tigers, super heroes, queen of the jungle and Eric was even brave enough to let the kids paint him. Yea for cool dads! 

ARRRRRRRRRGGGNNNN'T you going to get some face paints for your kids? :)

Saturdays

We moved into our house here in Alabaster almost a year ago now. One of the best things about living so close is being able to get in the car and go hang out with Grandma and Grandpa. One Saturday we surprised Dad at the store and when Ben was finished helping him work we met mom for lunch on the lake. It was a great lunch on a Spring day. We watched the boats and the kids got new t-shirts and then spent the rest of the afternoon digging a hole in a pile of dirt. It was a wonderful Saturday.

Even Mom dug for a bit.

This would be a picture from another Saturday spent with Grandma.
