Egg Hunt




The kids got in their annual egg hunt and easter crafting at church. Carson and Reese lucked out because there was only 1 other boy in their age group so they each got about 30 eggs. They always enjoy it but it leaves me with a lot of candy and junk scattered about my house for about a week!

Dying Easter Eggs





I decided to let the kids dye eggs this year. I usually don't do it because no one at my house likes hard-boiled eggs so I didn't like to waste a dozen eggs but this year I decided what the heck. They were so excited but didn't understand that you can't keep them as decoration. We had fun and hey I even made some egg salad that Carson at least tried!

Masters


After a few days in the mountains it was back home for the gang and back to reality for MOM! My house was very quiet with only 1 kid for 2 days. Kevin felt that he deserved a reward for his good deed so he and Griffin went to the 1st round of the Masters in Augusta. They went to see Tiger Woods play and walked his 18 holes with him. He did not play great but they still enjoyed seeing him. They were not allowed to take any electronic devices inside so they only got a shoot of the 2 of them in the parking lot.

Spring Break in NC Mountains






Kevin took off the week of spring break and took the "big" kids to Cashiers. I decided to stay home so I could have a little break plus the weather was suppose to be cold and I don't do cold especially in April! They had fun hiking and playing at the awesome playground in town. Griffin was a great big brother and endured many games of hide and seek tag with his siblings. Kevin also took them all around western NC on a driving tour. The kids were thrilled that it snowed all day one day they were there and I was thrilled that I missed it!

Blowing Kisses

Every school day Brett walks up the hill to his school and he always waves and blows me about 20 goodbye kisses. It is just so sweet I had to capture it so that when he is an old, crusty teenager and doesn't want to be in the same room with me I can show him that he did in fact want to give me love & kisses when he was little.

Gold Medal Girl

Hadley & her team
Hadley's Gold medal


Hadley had her last gymnastics meet of the season on Friday. Although, it was not her best meet she still managed to get the gold medal. She actually fell off the beam and was very disappointed until she realized she still had a high enough score to get gold. I didn't realize how competitive she was!

Pirates- ARRRGGHHH!


Carson had her spring musical in chorus on Thursday. She was a "No-Beard" pirate. The show was cute but unfortunately I spent most of it in the hallway with Whit. He is much too "Busy" to sit and enjoy a show.
