Happy 29th Daddy!

This year for Brian's birthday we decided to take our families out to HeyDay.  We thought it would be fun to play golf and eat pizza.  We weren't prepared for the 50 miles/hour wind gusts....so we just played in the arcade.  The kids loved playing games and the daddy's didn't mind much either.  The guys got to play laser tag at the end of the night as well.  I made yellow cupcakes with chocolate icing and ordered Brian's favorite cookies from Ruth's.  Thanks for coming to celebrate Brian!

Gingerbread Easter Egg Hunt



Port had an Easter Egg hunt last week.  I got to go help with the party, which is always so much fun.  We got to hide the eggs at the park and set up snack.  The teachers brought the kids over and let them hunt for 4 eggs each.  It was fun spending the morning with Port, his friends, and his teachers.  We sure do love Gingerbread!!!

Happy Birthday Crew!

The Musketeers

We all got together to celebrate Crew's 1st birthday.  All the cousins had a great time playing together.  It is always a fun thing getting our families together.  Kevin and Bailey brought Blakely down too, so Ella had a little buddy.  We are so blessed by such a great family!  Happy Birthday sweet Crew!  Your sweet smile brings joy to all you meet!

WE SCORED A GOAL!

Our sweet friends, the Billingsley's, came out to support our friends and family at the soccer game.  Port and Laynie are great friends and Haynes and Beau couldn't be more alike!  This week Port scored his first goal, he was SO excited.  We took him to get an icy to celebrate and Haynes got one for cheering him on.  

Haynes Haircut

This isn't a great picture, but we finally cut Haynes hair.  Brian kept saying he wanted to cut it shorter, so I finally went for it.  He looks so cute!  As it was being cut he just kept holding up pieces of hair as they fell off and looking at it.  After we were all done he kept looking at himself in the mirror.  Port's response was "he looks funny, are you going to do that to me?"  His hair totally fits his fun personality, we love our HAYNES!

Basketball and the Dudes

Our family enjoyed watching some of March Madness together with some of our college students.  Each night OU played we had a group come over to watch the game, which the boys LOVED!  After OU finally lost some of the "Dudes" stayed and played with the kids.  We are so blessed by the way they love our kids.

Campus Walks with the Grigors

Last week we went to dinner with the Grigor's.  We met for dinner on campus and then walked through the rest of campus, enjoying the beautiful weather.  Gerod carried Port back and we couldn't help snapping this funny picture!  We are so thankful for our sweet friends and how they love on our kiddos!  We will be loving on sweet Gracie Grigor soon!
