mother's day

jack's school did a mother's day tea.  ms. ginny did a wonderful job with everything!!

the best part about it was i got to go alone and leave charlie with johnny!! i love spending one on one time with jack! it was very special and i may have teared up a little reading the little poem about their handprints :)

my brother called me the friday morning before mother's day and said that emmie suggested for us to come up to chattanooga and surprise my mom for dinner. she was for sure surprised!!

grandma, jack, and sue at the baron's game

for mother's day we went to the baron's game. it was fun! jack loved it...charlie didn't really want to stay seated, but still did well!

i love this picture of my jack jack!!

clara and lillian's 5th birthday parties

charlie has learned to give himself his breathing treatments...the whole 12 minutes of it!!

jack drew clara a picture of the 2 of them for her birthday

clara's 5th birthday was at doodles! it was lots of fun and it was a surprise party :)

charlie is obsessed with gummies. he loves to hold the last one in his hand for a while...he will put it in his mouth and suck on it for a bit and then put it in his hand again...he savors it :)

"notice anything different about me?"

charlie is baby houdini!! i don't know how he does it! melissa even tightened it up and he could still get out of it!

lillian's 5th birthday party was at their gym...the kids had a blast!

the grownups had fun too!

charlie was either starving or else he really loved my chili...

jack had a dentist appointment so he decided to bring his lizard to make him "brave". NO cavities by the way!!

jack's night with grandma

jack was so excited to spend the night with grandma a few weeks ago!!

charlie on the other hand was not so excited about jack going away without him!! it was pretty pitiful!

memphis trip with sarah

we tried on a few hats in dillard's...i have never seen such a big hat section! it was crazy!

 a few weeks ago, i met sarah in memphis for a girls night! it was so much fun!! we shopped and ate yummy food and slept without the worry of a baby waking up. it was so much fun! i am so lucky she is my family and one of my best friends!

firebirds

when i got home jack gave me a note and drawing (the flowers are roses)

our gainesville trip

charlie enjoying a lotion massage after his bath at mimi and papa's house.

 we left the boys in columbus for the first time and went to gainesville to find a place to live and a school for jack to go to. charlie did great at mimi and papa's house...of course jack did too, but that was to be expected! it was the first time that we left charlie overnight.

out to eat at a sushi restaurant

the pond by our hotel

i LOVE the trees in gainesville!

on the way home we stopped by auburn to see the trees one last time :( it was a sad day! on a happy note, our boys were so wonderful and pleasant at dinner :)

Another what we have been up to post

I have been a bad blogger lately!! Time to play catch up!

charlie was in heaven!!

Easter day

The Easter bunny came with lots of treats!

We went to church with the boys looking so handsome:)

We went to grandma's house for dinner. Charlie ate his first lollipop, there was a bunny cake, great grandma and Donald were there too, and the boys sat at the kids table and did good!!
