Over the last few years we have brought back the famous Liddell Easter Egg hunt. It's so fun to spend the day with family and friends. We had absolutely amazing weather and the best day! David, one of our students, dressed as the Easter bunny and did a great job. Our kids have gotten bigger so we really just caught up with them after they hunted the eggs!

First Soccer Game

Port scored 3 goals!

Haynes once again desperately wanting to play soccer....

We had our first game in the 5-6 league on Saturday. Braxton, Sutton, and Port are on the same team this season. We weren't sure what that was going to look like since Port is still 4, but he did a great job! Haynes is still dying to be able to play. When Brian got Haynes dressed that morning, he put an old jersey on him. Haynes gasped and said, "Thanks Dad! I LOVE it!" and then dove onto Brian with the biggest hug! Soon Haynes...you will get to play.

TWINS!!!

The Noles Ladies!
Nate and JJ are having TWINS!!!

Once we got to Crew's birthday party on Friday night, Jamie announced that they were pregnant! We all SCREAMED, JUMPED, CRIED, etc. and then she says, "I'm sorry for lying to some of you, but we're actually having TWINS!' (Their family knew they were pregnant, but didn't know about their were two!) So we ALL did it all again!!!
We have been praying and believing for this day! We cannot wait to watch Jamie walk through this pregnancy, meet these sweet babies, and watch Jamie and Nate step into the role of amazing parents. We love you guys and are beyond excited for you!
God is SO Good!!!

Birthday Parties!

Happy 3rd Birthday Tripp!
These boys loved playing basketball together at Tripp's party. I can only imagine the fun that these three will have in the next few years! (Haynes, Jade, Tripp)

Happy 1st Birthday Alex!
Sweet Alex is probably the most beautiful baby I've ever seen! We can't wait for you and Ella to become best friends!
Happy 2nd Birthday Crew!
Crew is one of the sweetest little boys I've ever known! He and Ella LOVE going to BSF together and Haynes LOVES playing with "Crewser"! We love you sweet boy!

Friday night was a night of BiRtHdAyS! We had two parties (3 kids) in one night! We love each of them so much we couldn't imagine choosing! Our kids had a great time playing at each of the parties. We love you kiddos and can't wait to see the amazing things God has planned for each of you!

Day with Cousins

Kooper and Braxton lead the crowd in creating a habitat for a frog they found

Port got to spend the morning with his cousins while I was at prayer. When I got to JuJu's the first thing Port wanted to show me was the armadillo. He was so excited to show me that Uncle Blake had shot the armadillo that was eating all of JuJu's flowers...we might have a hunter on our hands:-)

Blake, Marci, Anna, Jade, and Elizabeth came in for Easter late on Thursday night. Friday morning I surprised Port by letting him play with Anna while Haynes was at school. We spent the rest of the afternoon playing outside together, we love family time! (JuJu bought everyone matching swimsuits...they couldn't resist putting them on!)

Family Game Night

Salad Bowl
Come on Sha Sha!
Haynes playing with the girls!

We had a Family Game Night tonight for our House Church. We played "Salad Bowl" and had so much fun! The boys decided to start their own game too! The Bauer's did a great job planning a fun night, can't wait for the next one!

First Soccer Practice

Tonight was our first indoor soccer practice for the season! I had to take a picture of my cute boys, they were so excited. Haynes still doesn't get to play, but since we know a coach in the 3-4 division might make some exceptions (thanks Uncle Jade!). Port is playing up this year so he can play with Braxton and Sutton in the 5-6 Division. When I woke the boys up from their naps this afternoon, I opened the door and said, "Anyone ready for soccer practice?" I've never seen those boys move so fast! Ella wanted to join in their picture, but that's about how life looks right now. She's always just a few steps behind those "BOYZ" as she refers to them!
