Easter at Gi Gi and Poppa's

On Saturday we went to Gi Gi and Poppa's to celebrate Easter. Gi Gi cooked a pork ham, spiderman mac-n-cheese, grean bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and yeast rolls. Scott said her meal was "MSG" MMMM Soooo Gooood!! It was wonderful and we enjoyed hanging out with them.

Obviously all boys need a gun, right?

Bella enjoyed feeding Poppa M&Ms.

I am not sure who enjoyed the gun more, Lane or Bella!

Thank you Gi Gi and Poppa for such a wonderful day! We enjoyed the food and the kids enjoyed all of their gifts!!

MOM-

I hope you have a magnificent birthday and that we celebrate many more birthdays for years to come. I couldn't ask for a better Mom. I will cherish all of the memories we have made together: from chasing down the school bus to give me my earrings I forgot, making me homemade birthday cakes every year, coming to all of my school programs, watching me dance at all those football games, helping me plan my wedding, being there for the birth of my children and the loss of Emma. You are truly amazing and I think you are such a perfect example of a christian. Do you ever sin? Just kidding!! I love you bunches and wish you the best on your birthday!

Love, Blondie

Happy Birthday PeePaw!

It seems like yesterday we were celebrating our birthdays together and eating MeMaw's yummy chocolate cake with sugar candy on it! I sure do miss those days and miss you.

The Top Ten Things I miss the most about you are:

1. You coming to pick me up from school when I was sick (well sometimes sick other times I just wanted you to come pick me up and take me to McDonalds).

2. Playing Cards with you.

3. Eating your delicious hamburgers.

4. Staying up late at night and you popping me popcorn.

5. You taking Amber and I to Long John Silver's and Baskin and Robbins on Sunday afternoons.

6. Letting us drive your car.

7. Kissing your sweet smelling cheeks.

8. Playing with your wedding ring on your finger.

9. Listening to you tell those long stories.

10. Rubbing your bald lil' head.

I love you bunches and wish you were still here to celebrate!
