Enjoying our new pool!

Is there anything better than skinny dipping at dusk?? I think their sweet smiles capture it all just perfectly...

Easter weekend Part 4:

We all woke up Sunday morning to another Easter egg hunt, a breakfast cooked by Pop's and his boys and finding our hidden Easter baskets!






After a quick trip to the docks for a little more time fishin', we re-loaded up the car and headed back home, to gear up for yet another Easter get together at Colonel Gates' house...




We trekked and hunted and ate and slept and giggled and hugged and THOUROUGHLY enjoyed our Easter weekend...thank you to all who helped make it memorable. Just thinking about the craziness of the non-stop weekend makes me want to crawl into bed and hibernate...The things we do to ensure our kiddos happiness. Get out and enjoy your family and kids...we sure do!!

Easter weekend Part 3:

We arrived in PCB right around nap time. There was no way that B and W were going to settle down for nap..are you kidding me?? So instead of dealing with the possibility of cranky boys, we decided to jam pack their afternoon and evening, so they would not have time to get grumpy!

We went fishing...




Played in the sprinkler and new outdoor gym that Grammie and Pop's created...(Caden and Wade ran smack into each other, at full speed. Caden busted his lip...almost landed in the ER, but after ice and some TLC, he toughed it out and continued on...tough little Harrell boys!)


Rolled down the hill by the water...(Daddy, Pop's and Uncle Scotty thought this would be a good idea to let Wade, our child with super sensitive skin, roll all in and over the grass with out a t-shirt on...the rash that immediately spread over his body was quickly relieved by the sprinkler...again, tough little Harrell boys!)


After eating a delicious dinner of shish-ka-bobs and singing Happy Birthday to Aunt Allie over birthday cake, all of the kiddos crashed hard and dreamed sweetly...

Easter weekend Part 2:

Woke up Saturday morning, got the car all loaded up...dogs and all...and headed to PCB to celebrate Easter with the Harrell side. But first, we made a stop at Cailey's 1st birthday party in Destin. Sweet baby girl is growing up so fast...
Happy 1st Birthday Cailey Bug!!

Sweet Aunt Lowie

We are INCREDIBLY blessed to have an Aunt Lowie...everybody should go out and get themselves an Aunt Lowie...she is the best! Ever since I found out I was pregnant with Jack, she has been sending packages, at least once, sometimes twice a week, filled with little goodies and treasures for B and W and Baby J! This package contained a few Polo shirts and shorts, for all 3 boys and glow sticks...





She wraps each and every little treat in tissue paper, then wrapping paper, then in a beautiful ribbon...and a personalized name tag. Every single time. I cannot tell you how much these packages mean to us Aunt Low...you are incredibly gracious and we have had so much fun!

Easter weekend Part 1:

Our Easter weekend started off with a P. A. R. T. Y. at the school. This consisted of 2 Easter egg hunts...one for B's class and 1 for W's class...and then the whole school came together for drinks, snacks and tons of sugar!!! I really think the boys obtained more candy this Easter than they did at Halloween! B-man held his Daddy's hand, carefully inspected each and every egg and immediately consumed the goods. Wade ran around like a chicken with his head cut off, grabbing every egg in sight...even swiping from others baskets. And he is the one who does not even like candy!!




After the school party, we headed over to Laird's house to give a huge 'Welcome Home' to Rich...we were saddened to learn that he had to fly right back out the very next night!!! Spent time jumping on the trampoline, making huge bubbles with all of the kids, grilling out with friends and devouring a can of squeeze cheese!! hehe

Last Saturday with Nana and Gator

Todd left for 5 days on plane to Omaha for the annual HISC convention...My Mom offered to keep the boys' all day Saturday, as this 9 month pregnant Mama needed it!!Nothing beats caulking the driveway, eating breakfast on the back porch, diggin' in to yummy pizza and breaking in the pool that the Easter bunny left at Nana and Gator's house! Thank you guys for the break...I needed it!
