"I'm An Elephant!"

They have been talking about animals this past week at school



Lance ran in the Statue to Statue 15K (9.3 miles) race this morning. He did it in an hour and 15 minutes. Madeline enjoyed throwing pine cones down a hill and got into clapping for the runners when she made friends with some kids.

I Went Blogging Crazy (and Easter)

Hunting for Easter eggs With cousin Taylor and Reilly in the background

Family pic at church-best one we got


We had just woke her up, so she wasn't quite sure what to think when she first saw the basket
She perked up and got in to it
Dyeing eggs with Daddy
I have to wake her up each day from nap due to the fact that she sleeps too long in the afternoon. She's not a happy girl for abut 20 minutes either (sometimes longer). She was pretty cranky one day so I just laid her on the floor and left, thinking she would follow shortly. When I came back about 5 minutes later, this is how she was laying.

Sorry about my blog hiatus. Our computer wouldn't download the pictures, and Lance fixed it tonight. I posted a bunch so be sure to scroll down.

The 30th Birthday Parties Have Begun

When to Cory's (2nd from left) surprise b-day party the other weekend-these are some of Lance's fraternity brothers
My friends at the party
Random photo-M told me she was going to get dressed and this is how she came back. Notice this is a shirt. I was quite impressed with her dressing skills as I know it wasn't easy to get this all the way up. The neck of this shirt will not be the same.

Thomas the Train

Had a great time visiting TTT a couple of weekends ago. There was so much to do as you can see from the pictures. M freaked out she was so excited when she saw Thomas pull into the station. She was pretty mad that we couldn't get on him right then. Her facial expressions in these pics cracks me up.

Friends

Feeding the sick monkey in the Children's Hands On Museum in T-town
MY BFF Jenny (take that MG!) was in T-town to see her sister and mom (who are my 2nd family), so we drove down for the day to hang out. This is her sister Julie and son.
Rub-a-dub-dub three kids and Jenny in a Japanese tub
My friend Stacey and her daughter Hope came over to play one day. M and H had the best time in this puddle. Stacey and I were feeling gracious as both girls were soaked afterward.
Baby Cody (my sis-in-law's nephew) came to visit. M loved him and said "baby Cody is my brother." On a side note, JC and Kelly are my heroes. They kept, for fun, their 4 month old nephew for 3 days.


Got to have a picnic with Price and Luke Beall one day too. This is the only shot with all 3 kids. We made the mistake of waiting until the end to take pictures b/c nobody was in to it. M and Walker
M and John Hinton-these two guys are her buddy's from church. She loves to play with them (I think mostly b/c she loves their toys).
