B'ham zoo

Tammy and I took the kids to the zoo last week. They had a lot of fun, but we asked ourselves many times, "Why did we do this?"

Sydney at the petting zoo.

It was pretty cool that day and luckily I had packed Sydney's bathing suit cover up because she was freezing in her sundress.

Sydney's favorite animal was the giraffe.

Okay-so my pictures are all out of order-sorry!
Sydney had her gymnastics recital on Saturday. She was so cute and did a great job. It was like a real meet. They rotated events and everything. The pictures are bad because we had to sit up on the balcony.
Here she is doing her floor routine
She is trying to do a forward roll in the beam
When I asked her what her favorite part was she said "Getting my gold medal"
When she was getting her medal they were supposed to say their name into the mocrophone, but she didn't want to say her name so she just threw up her arms and said "TaDa" It was so cute!

KIDZ KUTZ is a new kids only hair salon. It is really cute. They have little cars they can sit in and they can watch TV or play video games. They also have a train table and a play kitchen in the waiting area. Sydney had been begging me to take her.

After picture. YOu can't tell here, but her hair looks so much better and so much thicker!

A- day game

Just wanted to share some pictures of us at the A-Day game. We had a lot of fun! The crowd was amazing! There were over 92,000 fans there-they actually had to close the gates because the stadium was full.



We ran into Sydney's little friends Kate and Emma
We enjoyed spending some "daughter" time with Sydney. Thanks Valoree for keeping John Evan.
ROLL TIDE!

Why do mormons like to go on Dr. Phil and look like idiots? Okay-does anybody remember the couple that was on it from Tuscaloosa talking about their "sex menu"? It was pretty awful. Well, yesterday there was a mormon family on there about family "drama queens". It was so stupid! They were blaming all their family problems on one of the daughters and they kept referring to the son's mission. At the end Dr. Phil mentioned that they were mormon and that the "drama queen" did not agree with the mormon faith. You can go to www.drphil.com and click on Monday for the whole story. Let me know what you think!

HAPPY EASTER

Well, we had a crazy Easter weekend because it was the weekend we moved into our new house. I promise to post pictures as soon as we get it ready! My family at Easter
All the grandkids-they don't look very happy!

OKay, so this is not an Easter picture-but isn't he precious? Check out the great bruise! He is beginning to walk and is always falling!

I was able to snap this picture before John Evan starting screaming. Sydney did great but did not understand why he didn't talk back to her.

Dying Easter eggs-thanks so much Valoree!

We spent the day at church and at my mom's. It was a great day and the kids looked so precious!

My first race

Chris and I ran our first 5K race on Saturday and had a blast. It was the GVI Spring Fling and Barbecue Thing. My goal was to run the whole time and I did! So, okay my time was 33:44, but I finished. It was really hard! About 3/4 through the race I saw Chris' cousin and her 2 year old daughter and then a sign that said "Sydney's Place" so those two things definately helped me get through it. Did I mention I had Chris as my chearleader? He was great. Him and his brother, Chad, decided to run kinda as a competition. Well, Chris ended up staying back with me and I'm so glad he did!

Here's me and Meghan before the race. She is definately my inspiration. She talked me into doing it. She also helped me train. She pushed me when I was ready to quit. Thanks girl for everything! You are great!
Meghan, me, and JesseAnn -she kicked our tails at 24:38! Yes-my face it still bright red!
Chad, Ben, and the kids (Ben was there for moral support)
They had a really good band and Sydney and Anna had a blast dancing!
Also, Collin and Joshua had fun playing in the rocks!

Me attempting to get the kids to cooperate.

Thanks to Beverly for watching the kids while we ran. It was great to have them at the finish line!

I look forward to the next race!

Quick visit from the Simpson's

One of my best friend's, Heidi, moved to Montgomery last summer. I have missed her terribly! Her family came in town on Saturday. I had a basketball tournament to help with for the youth. So, we only had about an hour together, but it was a good visit! WE LOVE Y'ALL!


Reagan was so tired. He just layed on the bed surrounded by toys.
So, can you guess which one of us is pregnant? Well, it is definately not me. Heidi says she has decided that she is not a "big" pregnant person. Well, isn't that special? We can't wait to meet Scarlett Grace!

Chris snapped a lovely picture of us trying to get Heidi's earring out of my hair!
