Singing Super Star (kind of)

Brooklynn had her bi-annual school program. We weren't able to attend but Meemaw took our place (thank you MeeMaw)! Here are a few pics from the "concert". We were informed that she did her usual...looking around, partly participating. You can only get away with that when you are that cute! She is in the middle row, far left with the blue dress. Seems she is singing and acting here! Yeah!

Nolan was there and was her biggest fan (he has been to the last three programs)! What a supportive cousin!

I love to ride my bicycle, I love to ride my bike...

Brooklynn LOVES to ride her bike this year. We have tried to get her to learn to ride it for the last two years but I guess she was saving it all for now. Here is her in action!

Happy Birthday Mom!


My moms birthday is today! Happy Birthday Mom! We took the 2hr 45min trip up north to spend the weekend with her, celebrating both Mother's Day and her birthday. She took us to her mother/daughter brunch at church on Saturday morning. The three of us had a nice time. There were even puppets there that Brooklynn enjoyed seeing. It was a very relaxing weekend. I hadn't been "home" in a long time!

Settling in...

As spring is here and the weather is finally cooperating we have really enjoyed our new home! Brooklynn has met many neighbor kids and if the weather is nice she is outside for hours playing with the "boys". However, we just found out last week that a little girl her same age, going to the same school next year, same grade, lives only four houses down! I am so excited! The only girl on our cul-de-sac and she is just perfect for Brooklynn!

Heath got his boat in the water last week and has taken a few rides and thrown a few casts since. We are in the slow process of looking for a used family boat that won't capsize in the busy part of the lake and has a bit more cushion for your bum! His fishing boat does well for him but not so much for me!

We have designated May a month of working. Slowly but surely our house is becoming more settled. The trees in our back yard have come in and it has taken on a new look. Each day we are more and more excited about our choice of house. God blessed us so much during our move and purchase of our home! We go to the specialist on Thursday and will hopefully find out if we are having a girl or boy so the nursery will be next on our list!
