Tre, Pizza, and Georgia Football

Thompson and Sarah called us and said they were coming down from North Carolina to see the G-Day Game and wanted to meet up with us. So, we all met at Little Italy Pizzeria.

As soon as Thompson, Sarah, and Tre showed up, it was on! Gabe, Pierce, and I fought over who was going to hold Tre. I got lucky and got to hold him first. The boys immediately were by my side. Tre was such a great baby and was happy to have everyone hold him.

Gabe got Tre next. While Pierce played with him.

My sandwich came before the pizza, so I ate. Then when the pizza arrived, I got to hold Tre again. Is that not the sweetest face ever!

Next, we left to head to the G-Day Game.

Putt-Putt Tournament

Holy One Putt-Putt Golf Tournament

Gabe and Pierce were invited to a putt-putt tournament. It started early Saturday morning with a word of praise and a pray. It was sponsored by Welcome Home Baptist Church.

Pierce was asked by Buck to be on his team with Chaz and Jamie.

Clay just had to play too, so he signed up the day of the tournament.

Harley asked Jodie to be on her team.

Take at look at the awesome course. They held it at The Oaks in Gainesville. If you ever want to play putt-putt in Gainesville, you need to look this place up. It is very nice.

Gabe was on a team with Seth and Trey.

As we waited for the totals to be added up, everyone got goodie bags. Clay was checking out what all Buck got. Buck was scared Clay would take his candy!

We are all just hanging out waiting.

Clay, Tony, Kaye and some of the kids

Buck, Chaz, Pierce, and Jamie came in first! They won a putt-putt set, and a free pass to Monkey Joe's.

Seth, Trey, and Gabe came in second. They won gift cards to Brusters!

Not bad for a Saturday morning.

Easter Egg Hunts

Happy Easter!

We had our first hunt at Hebron Presbyterian Church, our home church. Above is the group of hunters. Clay and Josh had a great time hiding eggs!

As soon as they said GO!...Gabe was off and running!

Josh, Mo, and Grandmama were hard at work hunting for eggs.

I had to force Pierce to stop for just a second so I could take his picture. I had a hard time keeping up with the boys this year so I could take a picture.

Grandmama and Clay are in deep discussion! Hmmm...what could it be about?

Clay and Josh managed to hide 2 eggs in the corners of the church porch. I wonder how they get them up there? Gabe had a great time trying to get them down! Is that a shepherds hook?

Mo and Pierce were sharing candy.

Next we went to Nana's church, Bold Springs United Methodist Church for an egg hunt.

While the adults were hiding the eggs, the kids got to listen to the Easter Story, eat snacks, and play Easter Bingo.

Pierce won one of the games of bingo.

Then they were off and running to find eggs. Here is Gabe searching the playground.

Pierce on the run too.

Finally, the end. We got a silly picture of the cousins.

And then the extended cousins.

Spring Break Fun!

A bunch of us were supposed to take the kids to Frances Meadows Aquatic Center but SOME people bailed on us. Or maybe they were just being good parents. So, it was just Kaye, myself, Gabe, Pierce, Jamie, Jodie, Seth, and Buck. It was fun but would have been even more fun with Heather, Caden, Carson, Amanda, and Adam. We can all go next time!

(pst! Carson...be GOOD!)

Here is the gang right at the beginning of the swim time.

Here is my boy. He sure is cute.

Buck was moving too fast for me to catch him. He was being a sea creature!

Gabe and Pierce were trying to go under the water before I could take a picture of them.
What dorks! They played in the pool for almost 3 hours. I finally had to say "Let's go!" cause I couldn't take sitting on the bleachers anymore!

After swimming, we snagged one letterbox at this cool train! We even got to see a HOBO's hide out. The kids were excited about the hobo stuff, Kaye and I were just glad to finally go letterboxing. We have to plan a letterboxing trip soon!

Easter Porgram

Clay was asked to be in the Easter program at church. He was a disciple.

Below is the casting call.

It is hard to see, but this is the last supper. Clay is all the way on the left. Move your screen around and you can barely make the picture out! But it was the best I could do in the dark.

The cast came in at different times that went along with the choir. I was supposed to sing with the choir but due to my surgery, I didn't. But it was nice being able to watch Clay from the audience.

Spring Break Project

Over Spring Break, my mom said she would help me paint a chair or two. Well, then it turned into a major project. Here is the porch, now look further below for the transformation.

***DISCLAIMER...no heathers were harmed or over-exerted during this transformation!***

Clay started pulling out the railings.

Pierce and Gabe took all the furniture and cleaned it so that we could painted it all black.

Mom did a lot of the work like lifting and moving and painting.

Clay hung the swing that used to be at my mom and dad's house and has been in the basement for a really long time. Mom, Pierce, and I painted it black too. Clay also added new cedar posts.

Mom and I planted and trimmed a few plants, weeded, and picked up some of the junk around and it was done! See below for the finished project.

This is an old iron pot from my grandmother. She used to put flowers in the pot too.
I need to find out what it was used for before it was a flower pot. I think I need to go call my grandmother.

And here is the final project. We had someone some today and take down the gutters today. Clay and I plan on painting the house soon!
