Living Pictures & Easter Weekend

Brant & Bryan were involved in Living Pictures at our church. They had been practicing for a while. Easter weekend they performed all weekend. On Good Friday, my parents & sister got to come for a visit and watch the performance. On Saturday, we had a cookout and Easter egg hunt at Ginger and Chip's, then Bryan & Brant had another performance that evening. On Easter morning, the kids woke to find their Easter baskets. Brant got some Disney pins to trade at Disney World, candy, and a movie. Brylee got a movie, a baby carrier for Kenzie her Bitty Baby, and candy. After that, we made Resurrection Rolls. (Thanks to Shannon Wilcutt). The marshmallows represented the body Jesus, rolled in spice & oils (butter, cinnamon, & sugar), wrapped in the tomb (crescent rolls), then bake and afterwards, there is no body in the "tomb". They were quite delicious, too. After breakfast, we headed to church. After church, we spent the afternoon with Bryan's family. Before lunch, we took some Easter pictures. The rest of the afternoon, we just hung out and visited with family!

Art Show

Brylee's preschool had their annual Art Show. It happened to be bad weather so the jumpers were cancelled this year. I made it just as the bottom fell out. After the show, she got to leave and stay at Nana's because of the bad weather and we (at school) had to sit in the hall because of tornado warnings. After school, the kids and I headed to Meridian for the weekend.

Super Bulldog Weekend 2011

We headed to Super Bulldog Weekend in Starkville. We met and tailgated with some friends. Bryan & Brant headed to the softball game and ran into Coach Dan Mullen. He signed Brant's shirt & hat. He thought that was the coolest thing. We had the best time - went to the maroon vs white football game, ate lots of GREAT food, and hung out with friends.

Makeover Birthday Party

Brylee was a invited to a TuTu birthday party at Salon 7. It was such a cute party! She along with her best friends from school got makeovers, manicures, pedicures, and funky hair.

First Karate Tournament

At the end of spring break, Brant competed in his first karate tournament in Greenwood. It was a neat experience. He got 2nd place in his kata and 3rd in sparring. It was a long day, but definitely worth the trip.

More Spring Break Pictures

During Spring Break, we met some friends at Lake Lowndes. Brant had spend the night with Drew & Hays. Heather & I picked up Happy Meals and met the kids at the park. While we were there, we ran into another one of Brylee's best buddies - Ty. All the kids had so much fun playing. The boys started a game of baseball, and the girls had lots of fun swinging, playing the merry go round, and the slide. After a fun filled day, we loaded up and went to Smackers for a St. Patrick's Day yogurt.

Snaggle Tooth

During Spring Break, Brant had a loose tooth that was so loose that it was barely still connected. We were at Mim & Pop's, and Brant had the great idea of pulling his tooth by tying a string to the back of the truck bumper. Well, he chickened out and immediately took off running. After a lengthy period of trying to convince Brant that it would only hurt for a second, he still wouldn't let us. Finally, we had to "trick" him. It took him by surprise, but the tooth was taken care of and the Tooth Fairy left him a nice little surprise - a gold dollar coin, a two $2 bills, and a $1 bill.
