God's Little Bugs

The kids had their spring musical this past Sunday night and the theme was "I'm God's love bug" They got to wear antenna on their heads and all the songs had to do with bugs. Both Emma and Ty did a great job. I do have to say, we always thought Emma had the loudest vocal cords in the family, however, Ty showed her up as he belted out the words and everyone in the audience got tickled over it.

Fun pics

The kids have been SO FUNNY lately. One day Ty got in the shower (I think to hear himself better) and was singing with Emma's High School Musical Microphone. It was hilarious and he had a wonderful time. The next pic is of Ty and Emma sticking their heads in the filled bathtub with their NEW goggles on. MiMi and PaPa sent them some goggles for Disney World and of course we had to try them out before we go. On a side note, Ty loved his goggles SO MUCH he wore them to Wed. night church on top of his head the first day he got them. Everyone got a real kick out of that.
Last pic is of Ty and his friend Ella Grace, and their little friend Jackson. They were all laying on the floor together being sweet and we had to get the shot!!


Dora and Diego

Ty and I and a little boy I keep on Wednesdays usually go to the Library for story time each week. This past week at the Library to celebrate reading around the world, they had Dora and Diego come in and be a part of the fun. Ty absolutely loves every character that's dressed up so of course he got his pic made with Dora and we tried with Diego, but he was never still enough.



Springfest

Every year one of the last weekends of April, Southaven has a Springfest where they bring in tons of carnival rides and bands for a weekend. We went for our 3rd year in a row and the kids loved it even more this year than in the past. They got to ride rides and we ate dinner there with the "wonderful" carnival food that they have. Ty's favorite ride before we went was the ferris wheel, but after was the dragon kiddie coaster they went on. Emma's favorite was the swings. They both had a blast and we had fun watching them.

Full Weekend

We started off last weekend with a field trip with Emma's class to the Zoo. Our whole family got to go so we were really excited. Unfortunately about 30 min. into the trip it started raining and we had to go home. The good thing was Emma didn't have to go back to school, but came home with us. That afternoon our good friends the Jenkins came up from G'dale. We had so much fun with them. We cooked out Friday night, went bowling Sat. morning and then they all got to see Emma play in her first tball game (which she did great in). At Tball she got to bat twice and played 3rd base one time and right center outfield the 2nd. She did wonderful and was so glad she had friends there to watch her and cheer her on.





AWESOME PHOTOGRAPHER

A friend of mine who is from the outskirts of Atlanta was in town visiting her mom, who lives down the street from us, a couple of weeks ago. We got to know each other b/c her husband was a youth minister(now he is the teaching pastor at their church) and they have 2 kids, so her mom introduced us and we've been great friends ever since. She is incredibly talented in so many things, but one of her greatest talents is photography. While they were here Tandy gracously took photos of us in her incredible way. We loved the results and wanted to share them. Tandy has a photography business with a friend of hers called sugarsnap photography. You can go to sugarsnapphotography.wordpress.com to see more of her incredible work

Baseball Time

Emma's birthday weekend was supposed to be her opening game for Tball. Unfortunately b/c of all the rain we had been getting it got cancelled. So instead Emma put on her uniform and of course Ty put on his baseball attire, dad put on his coaching shirt and they went out in the yard, to hit a few balls.
