This time of year I seem to get even worse about blogging because of spring projects I think. At Noah's request we are growing a garden and I have to say it is doing much better than I thought it would! We bought about 30 packets of seeds the last week in March including peppers, basil, thyme, squash, okra, broccoli and corn. Yes, you read that correctly-CORN! I'm still laughing my head off picturing nice rows of corn growing in my backyard. Our green beans were doing so awesome we had to thin the plants out. The okra and sugar snap peas are also looking great. We learned that we should not have planted cabbage and lettuce this time of year but it is coming up anyway. We will see how that goes. My basil and other favorite herbs are also coming up nicely.

Currently, I am posting pictures of Alex's 9th birthday party with friends and family. I can't believe she will be 10 next year! Also, I am posting pictures of our trip to Alabama to visit Aaron's sister and her family. We have been very fourtunate to have this time with them as this is the closest they have lived to us. We will be sad to see them go to New Mexico in June but we will have one last hoora at Disney World before they leave!!:) Aaron's mom and dad were able to meet us at their house for Easter and we had a great time celebrating the Resurrection of our Savior with family!

Also included are pictures of Piper's first dance recital. She attends Dreamworks Dance, a christian dance company. Her teaches trains the girls to dance for Jesus. I love this dance company because they are growing little girls and boys from the inside out. My little girl was so beautiful and did such a great job doing ballet to her favorite song "Here I am to Worship". She received three bouqets of flowers from us, Nana and Papa and Amma. She looked like a little princess and we are so proud of her and that she has a heart for the Lord. Enjoy the pictures!

No, really, it did SNOW!






Yes, you heard it right it SNOWED again! The kids were so excited. It started on a Friday afternoon as we were waiting for Noah to come out of his OT session. He walked out and announced to everyone in the waiting room "ITS SNOWING!". We played in it for a few minutes with his therapist and then headed home to find Aaron's truck in the driveway. Noah ran in the house and said "Daddy, it's a MIRACLE!". We played for an hour or so and then came in and had a nice dinner. Alex, Noah and Piper all piled into Piper's bed so they could watch the snow fall as they drifted off to sleep. The next morning they woke up and Noah came running into our room and said "Wake Up! It really happened!" So of course, we ended up playing in the snow all day long. It was the most powdery snow this southern girl has ever seen! We were able to build a snowman later in the day when it started to melt off a little and stick together better. Sorry, we didn't get any pics of the snowman but lots of the kids.
Also, included in this post are pics of Noah after he lost his first tooth. He was so excited but disappointed to find that the Tooth Fairy only brings money and not candy! We told him he could buy candy with his dollar!:) Enjoy the pictures!
