We have had a very eventful Spring! We go to a new church called SlowBurn. They have an excellent children's program and the kids love it so much. They love to tell us all about their time in class and the things they learned. For the Palm Sunday lesson (We actually meet on Thursday nights), their teacher, Mr. Steve (Cherrico) apparently got on a stick horse or donkey and walked along the palm branches that the kids laid out for him. They were so excited telling me and Jason all about it. They screamed "Hosannah! God save us!!" in the car the WHOLE way home. We had to reenact it for a couple of weeks until the palm branches had enough.
Easter was wonderful. We spent the whole day at Poppy and Mimi's house. We had a wonderful lunch and the kids spent alot of the afternoon flying kites with Poppy and having easter egg hunts!
Bella is kind of competetive...
We also went to the Franklin Rodeo! They have a big parade when they come to town and the kids loved it. The cowboys throw candy out of their trucks and the marching bands from the different high schools make it really fun.
On the way out, we met Ms. Teen Rodeo Tennessee and Bella was just SO excited. She signed a picture for Bella (and the boys) and as soon as we got home, I had to tape on the wall in Bella's closet. When we were driving home from the rodeo, Bella said it was the best night of her life :)
Memorial Day was fun- we woke up early and took the kids fishing at Centennial Park. Of course they just catch sucker fish and we throw them back but its still very exciting for them. Bella is so good at casting her line now. The kids think daddy is just the greatest when he takes them fishing!
There is a new duck family and they kept coming up to us so I took alot of pictures of them. Arent they just the cutest things?
After that, we took the kids to get pizza and parked to watch the airplanes take off and land. The boys especially love when we do this..
The kids are so easy to entertain right now, obviously. We are very close and really enjoy being together! The neighborhood pool is finally open and this year the boys are actually getting in the kid's pool instead of crying about the water!
I am looking forward to long days at the pool. Bella starts Kindergarten in the fall so I need to make every moment count. See you soon!!
