More Pre-Easter Easter Fun

Last weekend, the county hosted an Easter Egg Scramble for the kids with lots of fun activities. After two rained-out egg hunts, we were glad to give it a go outside in the grass!
.
Gehrig has historically been scared of mascot type things, but Greer has never met one she doesn't love. Now that Gehrig is older and understands the whole costume idea, they both loved seeing the ones at the park. We actually had to pull them away so as not to annoy the guys inside the costumes. :)
.

It was fun to see friends there too. Greer and Finley.

Amanda and I enjoyed our visiting too. :)

The Mareks, Luke and G&g watching the magic show!

The blessing of fun friends...Gehrig is his silliest with Cole & Luke!

Looking like they're on a date.

An alternative way of wearing pirate eye patches. :)

Luke, Gehrig & Cole finished the morning playing on the soccer fields. We are so thankful that Spring is here!

G's School Easter Party

Last week, Gehrig had a fun party at school to celebrate Easter. Here are the boys in his class...Andrew, G, Luke, Mark, PJ & Max. They are all such good buddies...it is really cute!

Enjoying some Chickfila for the party!

Abby's mom read an Easter story to the kids.

B and I have been amazed and THANKFUL for how much Gehrig's teachers have taught him about Jesus and the Easter story this year. We can't believe how many details he knows and we love that he is excited that Jesus is alive! He even came home reciting the whole Great Commission the other day. I am challenged by his questions and convicted by his excitement. Oh, to have faith like a child!

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16

April Fools Day

Our favorite April Fool's prankster came to visit last week on the 1st (and brought his girls too!). I was prepared this time, on guard and skeptical all day. Despite a good effort, he didn't get me! Instead we all enjoyed a great visit! We so appreciate the fact that they would drive up just to visit with us for a few hours. They are friends, who are more like family, you know? Love you, Dormans!
.
Here they are with Matt & Jenn. A great pic of two of our favorite couples.

Greer and Darcey had fun playing together outside.

Madi, Chaney, Gehrig & Ansley getting ready to watch a show.

Couldn't help but post this pic of B playing wii in the middle of all 6 kids! Haha!
.
And a bonus...just because. Greer loves snuggling up to her "Bubba."

March Randoms

Greer loves her Little People castle. She has starting setting the prince and princess up to eat dinner. I love that she is girly!

We went walking with the Smiths the other day and G&g had so much fun loving on Thomas & Maddy. They are super cute!

Greer's hair grows fastest in the back. Bebe cut it some for us awhile back, but the frizzy puff returned so Rebecca came to help us out. She cut Gehrig's hair too and did a great job with both!

Peyton got a bath while they were here and borrowed Greer's bunny towel. So cute!

Just a random lovey shot of Daddy & Greer.

The red flower chair is the best for cuddling and TV watching.

.

Even though the rain moved it inside, the kids had fun hunting Easter eggs the other day with Peyton! Greer was not terribly interested in taking a picture with Mommy though...

.

Our friends, Eric & Jessica are getting married soon. We had a great time going out to dinner the other night to celebrate with them! We are so excited for y'all, E&J!

And last but not least, the real deal.

.

Last year, Gehrig played tball with a little church league. It was a great experience, introducing the idea of practice and taking turns and listening to his coach, etc. However, it was mainly for fun, using plastic bats and balls and playing inside a gym.

.

This year, G gets to play with the local little league. He had his first practice this week and was so excited to announce to me across the field, "Mom! We're using REAL baseballs!!"

March pics are up!

Visitors!

Last week, we enjoyed visits from the Owens and Clantons. We had such a great time while they were here and were reminded even more how much we miss them when they went home.

Gehrig couldn't wait to see Katelyn! He told everyone that his girlfriend was coming. They took turns swinging each other while the mommies visited and the babies napped.

Watching some TV together.

Katelyn's brother, Grant is getting so big and looking cute in his mini Boden pants!

Madi came to play too and the girls enjoyed playing in their PJs. Greer seems so growny here.

Katelyn and Madi walked around hand-in-hand. This pic reminds me of celebs trying to avoid the paparazzi!

Three CUTE PJ-wearing girls.

Gehrig and his girl.

Owens & Masseys...
