School Easter Egg Hunt

Last week the boys had their Easter egg parties at school.  It was fun and laid back.  Ty's was on Tuesday and Garrett's was on Wednesday.  So we had time to recoup before the big egg hunt at church on Saturday. 

 

Here are some pictures from their school parties.

 

 

100th Day of School

March 21st was Garrett's 100th day of school.  There project was to make something that contained 100 of something.  Of course, Garrett's idea, Legos!  Luckily we had plenty!

 

It's hard to believe that he has been in school 100 days!  He just recently had his Kindergarten evaluation and did great!

 

Ty wanted his picture made, you can tell he just got out of bed!

War Eagles Baseball

On March 9th, Garrett had his first baseball game of the year.  He is playing 5/6 coach pitch this year and is on the Auburn War Eagles.  They had the opening day parade and then we played our first game.  Garrett played in the outfield and got a hit.  We won the game, but I cannot remember the score.

 

2013 War Eagles-Coach Wes Dunlap

Garrett is having fun this year.  He just recently got moved to catcher and seems to like it better.  So far, we are 2-3. 

Smoky Mountains

Several weeks ago we headed up to the Smoky Mountains for a quick getaway.  Mom, Dad, Adam, Samantha, Lily, Leia, Cory and Lindsey met us up in there.  Mom and Dad were nice enough to rent a cabin big enough for all of us!  We had a great time and lucked out with lots and lots of snow. 

 

Garrett hadn't seen snow in about 2 years, so he was very excited and Ty doesn't ever remember seeing snow.  Our cabin was in Gatlinburg overlooking Ober Gatlinburg, the ski slopes.

 We went up on Thursday and stayed till Sunday.  On Friday we went up to Cades Cove and saw 117 deer!  It snowed off and on while we were there.

 On Saturday, we went to the Ripley's Aquarium.  It was very crowded, but the boys had a great time.

 The boys got to play in the snow on Saturday too.  They built a snow pile and learned how to make snowballs.

A picture to prove that I am pregnant, I think 26 weeks in this picture!

29 Weeks!

Actually, I will be 29 weeks tomorrow, but one day doesn't make that much of a difference.

Best Moment this week:  Viability Week!  If something were to happen and he was born now, this is the first week of a chance of survial for infants.  I always looked forward to that with Garrett and Ty too.  I have started buying some summer clothes for him. I just can't resist.  Ty felt him kick this week and told David that he kicked him in the hand :)

Life Lately

Major blog slacking lately, I have been awful about taking pictures.  Last week was insanely busy!  The week before Ty caught the stomach bug, gave it to me, I ended up spending 8 hours in the ER and Labor and Delivery, gave it to David and Garrett missed it.

David and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary over toast and not a toast, but we both literally lived on toast for days!  Our stomachs couldn't handle anything else.  Not a fun week!

After about a week we all recovered and washed everything we could wash in our house! 

Garrett has started baseball practice.  He is playing for the Auburn War Eagles/Tigers this year in the Shetland League.  It is 5/6 year old coach pitch.  He has the same coach and most of the same teammates from last year.  We had officially entered the intense Georgia Little League arena.

Last week, we went to the Ringling Bros. Circus at Phillps, celebrated Valentine's Day, I planned V Day parties (=exhaustion), David and I went out to eat on Valentine's Day thanks to our church for providing babysitting and we ended the week by celebrating David's birthday.  Not a ton of pictures, because I have majorly been slacking.  Will try to do better!

 

There are some pictures on here from the boys Valentine's parties at school.  We made super cute Valentine's, but I failed to take a picture of them.  Garrett took Army men and Ty took bouncy balls.  We made the teachers a candy poem and put it in a Valentine mailbox.  They turned out super cute.  Garrett got Indiana Jones Legos and Ty got a Woody and Buzz Lightyear Mr. Potato set for Valentine's Day.
