Jebs Graduation

Well - HE DID IT. On May 5th Jeb graduated ! We went down to AUBURN on saturday night for a party lacy had for him which turned out GREAT and then back down on monday to spend the night and get ready for graduation on tuesday morning. After graduation and TONS of pictures we went to eat lunch and had a great time. We could not be any prouder of Jeb (and Lacy). They are proof that hard work does pay off.

This was Anna Kates first trip to AU although she didnt make it to toomers or j&m with me and ava.... she stayed with mimi and pop and watched movies.. she did however enjoy her first glass of toomers lemonade and she LOVED it.

Ava got to see where her daddy went to school and the library and samford hall, she said she was gonna go to that library one day and I didnt argue. we went to toomers got her some lemonade and got her a shirt. she cant wait to go back this fall for her first football game.....

Easter 2009

We had a great day despite the stormy cold weather.... the easter bunny came to see the girls Ava thought it was GREAT they he brought her some green flip flops and anna Kate loved her bubbles... then it was off to church for the 8 am service and over to Grammy and Papoos house for lunch with them and Stevie and Leslie. Overall it was a good day... except now that Ava is running a 103 temp..... Hope everyone had a good day celebrating the fact that Jesus is Alive.

*** please excuse ava's hair in the picture with her and her goodies... keep in mind it was 6:15 am and she had just pulled out her pony tail.. it was just the only picture i got of her and her basket ****

Thank you mimi and pop for the baskets full of easter candy... we LOVE it... love Ava and Anna Kate

Our 2nd Annual Bunny Cake Bake

Last year, Ava and I made a cute little bunny cake for easter from a recipe my aunt deborah sent us.... she LOVED it. So this year we had to make another one. She helped me mix and pour and do the icing.... she also dedicated this cake to POP since his birthday is tomorrow. She told me that I would have to be very careful and would need to hold this cake all the way to Alabama and daddy could drive us... so we could sneak in and put this cake in mimi and pops fridge... "he's gonna be so 'cited" she said. So POP - here is your birthday cake 700 miles away.. i am sure Ava will let you know how it tastes - if she lets us try it... she has already told brannon that its pops cake and he cant have any....

We love you POP - Happy Birthday Tomorrow.....

Random Pictures of the Girls

The girls after their brownie last night...




Anna Kate in the washing machine this morning... ava thought this was so funny

We are still here .....mom.....

Everyone has reminded me that I havent updated the blog in a while. Hopefully for some (you know who you are) this will make for a good start on Monday, since you have something to read to make you look busy :)

We havent really been up to much lately... we did take the girls to Disney on Ice.. they loved it.






Then today, our neighborhood had an easter egg hunt... with tons of candy filled eggs, games and a petting zoo.... neither of the girls were too wild about that... but they did love the eggs... If you ask Ava she got 25 9 eggs yes thats right, twenty five nine... whatever that means... i think its just ALOT






I will try to update more often....I promise. This week I am sure we will have lots of pictures, easter party at school, dyeing eggs, the easter bunny and numerous egg hunts around the house... Hope eveyone has a good week -
