The big move

We have moved WEST!  All went well even with a massive down pour while the movers were loading the van.  It would appear my hubby has died and gone to heaven!  We are on almost 2 acres and he is LOVING every single minute of it.  The girls love being little explorers!  Our Baby A has already caught 3 toads and tried to tickle them.  She is our little tomboy.  We were welcomed on moving day by one neighbor that brought brownies and introduced us to her husband and 2 little girls and another neighbor that is a retired Teacher.  I am so excited!  It looks like we are going to love it here, we do so far!  The weather is a wonderful change too.  It gets hot during the day, and by 4:00 it starts to cool down.  At night I need a sweatshirt.  It is also an hour behind where we used to live, so that is an adjustment as well!  I will try to post pictures as often as I can.  We are outside most of the day so the girls are really getting excercise and some fresh air.  We even had 2 different friends visit within the first 2 weeks of being here.  That was added excitement!  Looks like the Summer is going to be a lot of fun for us!  Hope this finds ya'll well!

The busy Month of May

Bubba graduated from Preschool exactly 20 years after I graduated from High School.

     The month of May has been keeping us pretty busy.   Our oldest had a musical at school.  It was very fitting for her since she LOVES to sing.  She was bee bopping with the best of them!  Then, we had Bubba's Preschool Graduation and a field trip with our oldest to a local farm.  This week is the last week of school with Kindergarten graduation for E.  Next week the movers come to pack us up and head us out West.  We have lived here for 2 years and 7 months.  I dreaded moving here and fell in love with it.  I am hoping for the same if not even more so with this move.  I think as long as you can make your house a home and have the right attitude, anything is possible.  I hope to be posting more pictures soon from E's graduation.  It may be a while, depending on when we can get internet set up at the new place.  We are excited to be out in the country and our oldest is already begging us for a horse.  THAT will have to wait!!!!!  I can't imagine taking care of a HORSE!  Hoping you all have a wonderful week and that what lies ahead is pure bliss.  God bless!

Happy 5th Birthday to our Bubba!

Finishing the cake we started at Grandma's house.

Yesterday we celebrated our Bub's 5th Birthday.  She had a great day even though her Daddy was working out of town.  We had a celebration with Grandma F. on Monday w/ a Strawberry Shortcake cake.  And today she took jello cupcakes to school to share.  I can't believe it's been 5 years since she graced us with her presence.  She is such a delight to have around.  There are times she can be a bit of a Drama Queen.  Unfortunately, that is a trait she inherited from her Momma.  She is loving the Strawberry shortcake toys from her Grandma in Louisiana and her Tinkerbell doll and coloring book from Grandma F.  Now, we have packing to do and moving to look forward to.  I can't believe our oldest childs first year in school is about to end.  And next year, we'll have 2 kiddos in school.  Time flies and the kids are growing so fast.  It makes me sad.  I am so used to having 3 little ones.  This gradeschool stuff is bittersweet.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  God bless!

Happy Easter!!!

The girls had a fun time coloring Easter eggs last night.  It was a first for Baby A and she made the moment memorable!  I turned for a minute and the next thing I knew she had her entire hand in the purple dye!!!!!  The big girls were so helpful trying to show A how to color the egg w/ a crayon and dip it gently.  E was adorable being a little "mother" and Bub was enjoying it too.  We are looking forward to seeing my folks as we haven't seen them in a while.  I hope everyone has a blessed weekend and a very Happy Easter!!!!

Remembering precious Mimi

Words can't touch the emotion my dear sweet hubby is feeling at the loss of his precious Grandmother.  We spent the past few days remembering her and spending time with his Grandad.  What a special time it was and what precious memories were made.  It meant so very much for my husband to spend time in the house he visited so much as a little boy.  His Grandparents have a very special place in his heart and always will.
