Cookout With Our Neighbors

Last night, our neighbors hosted a cookout. As usual, Holly, who is awesome at throwing a party, had a wonderful spread of food.
The cake was amazing!








After dessert, the kids all broke out their power wheels and ended the evening with a drag race.

Unfortunately, Kendall had to continually be reminded that it wasn't bumper cars!

Neighborhood Extravaganza Part I

Last weekend, my friends and I hosted a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. It was a huge success, especially since the morning started off quite rainy! Fortunately, the skies cleared just in time. We had 23 children attend, and I think they all enjoyed the Eggstravaganza. We started off with one round of hunting for eggs. Then we did an egg race and egg toss. After the games, there were still plenty of eggs to be had, so we were able to have a second round of egg hunting.




Nana and PawPaw were in town for a visit.

The Soape brothers wore there Easter best! :)

St. Patrick's Day Party

We got together with our neighbors for a cook out to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Thank you to our friends, The Soapes, for being such gracious hosts! We are extremely grateful to God for the blessing of such wonderful friends, who are also our neighbors! :)

My First Wreath

I have been inspired by my wonderfully, crafty neighbors to make my first wreath. I still need to find just the right ribbon to make a bow for the top, but I couldn't wait to hang it.
