Spring Break

Watching the Sound of Music.
Cole and EJ watching Mr. Chance play baseball.
Pops with his girls.
The baby elephant. Just for my friend Mandy! :)
I couldn't believe this monkey. He was very social and came right up to the window to see the kids.
Cole and Ella Joy. They love each other have so much fun together. Ella Joy spent the night with Cole one night. I still haven't asked how that went. :)
Sweet MK chose to sleep while everyone else enjoyed the Zoo. I love this little girl.

We had Spring Break last week and the girls and I headed down to Troy to visit with my parents and sisters. We made a stop in Montgomery at the Zoo and let me tell you, it was well worth it. It was a little rainy and cool, but the animals were up and roaming. The kids had a great time and were so glad to visit with each other. We met Nana, Aunt Holly, Cole and Owen at the Zoo. Here are some pictures from the Zoo and from our time in Troy.

Conversations with EJB

I have to write some of these conversations down or I will forget them. This little girl is precious and cracks me up sometimes.

Saying her prayers the other night:
EJ: Who do I pray for?
Me: Who would you like to pray for?
EJ: Mimi, Papa, Nana, Pops, etc
Me: Ok, Let's pray
EJ: God, please help my heart to trust you and change me (Oh, that He will DO this)

Checking on her before we went to bed:

Me: It is 9:30, time to go to sleep.
EJ: Gracie (her baby doll) won't quit talking.
Me: Maybe we should quit talking.
EJ: Gracie won't be quite, mommy, tell her to be quite so I can go to sleep.
Me: Gracie, be quite so EJ can go to sleep.
EJ: If she don't be quite, then she gets a spanking.

At the Sound of Music Play Trey & I were wispering:

EJ: Mommy, shhhhh, Be Quite.

Better late than never, right? Things have just

been busy since her birthday. We had a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family. Thanks to all those who made the long drive. The day couldn't have more perfect. The weather was incredible and the kids loved being outside and able to run and play. We rented a bouncer and let them jump till they dropped. I heard that many kids took great naps that day. Glad that we could wear your kids out, so they would sleep good :). Here are pictures from the day! We are very blessed to have this precious little girl in our lives. She challenges us and pushes us to our knees as we seek to raise her according to God's Word. We love you EJB!
