SomeBUNNY is 3!

I knew from the moment I was pregnant with SK that this child's 3rd birthday would be an egg hunt.  I knew before I knew she was a girl!  Some say I am crazy...I say I am a planner!

We planned her birthday the week before Easter because Neil, the brothers, and Granddad were going to be out of town on her actual birthday.  We planned her birthday around the church Pig Roast and Egg Hunt!  This girl had a great birthday!

She is such a hostess!  She helped me stuff the eggs and made sure people had fun.  I love it!

It was so much fun decorating and planning out her party details. She loved every bit of it.  The boys never seemed to notice any of the party details, but she noticed everything!

I made the egg garland while getting my hair done one day.  Gotta multitask.

Bunny ears were The Festive Favor.

Mom helped me cut out the fruit into chicks and bunnies

I loved the cake!  And it tasted good, too!

The Face painter was a hit!

So excited!  She still talks about it!

Cutie!

BIG 3 with Nana and Granddad

She got an Easter bunny painted on her face. It looked a little deranged, but she didn't care!

Saints all day, erryday.

Little Batman

She was a tad startled when she looked in the mirror!

ahhhh!

Her favorite person arrived!  Daniel!

Rebecca and Daniel asked her to be their flower girl and she said YES!

Yippee!  We are thrilled!

Daddy is such a good sport!

The Harpers are so dang cute!

The boys were so sweet to her.  Henry got his scissors immediately to help with the ribbons.

She was overwhelmed by this Elsa doll from Nana!  hugged it and closed her eyes... you know she liked it!

BBQ Cook-Off and Bulldog Barn Bash

April is one busy month!  We have multiple things every weekend, birthday, parties, and little trips!  I love all the fun activities!!

This weekend had 2 big things on one day.  Neil, Andre, and Marc did the BBQ cook-off for the 3rd year and came 6th in pork! We were shocked that they didn't win in ribs...shocked!  Neil literally makes better ribs than anyone and they got 16th!  I just can't believe it.  We will take 6th in pork, though!

Andre, Thomas (Andre's dad), Bennett, and Neil

Looking good!

Best ribs ever!

Proud to win a plaque!

all of the kids wanted to ride the mechanical bull

We were lucky enough to get to bring Maddie with us.

SK is the best babysitter! She loves Luke!

Andre came in 3rd in the rib eating contest!

Daddy was so good!

Neil had to stay at the BBQ event so we went to the school Bulldog Barn Bash without him.  We took Gammy which is always fun.  Our fundraiser was so much fun!  It is really something when you can get 500 people to attend a family event on a Saturday afternoon.

The kids had so much fun playing in the dirt, on the toys, and the photo ops!  How fun!

SK and Charlie

Henry and William...hoping they will be Kindergartners together at FEM!

Henry and Kindergarten!

We were thrilled to learn that Henry got into Bennett's school.  Henry has been asking for months when he is getting to go to Bennett's school. We just never knew how to answer since we hadn't gotten his test results back.  We finally got them over Spring Break!  We are super impressed with our smart boy!

I wanted to take him to his new school and we did it as it was open after Spring Break!  He was so excited!

What a big boy!

Bennett happened to be outside for recess so he came and got in!  Bulldog Brothers!

The 3!

We took pics by all the photo ops.

Here's his letter from the principal, coordinator, counselor, and all the Kindergarten teachers.

Contract signing!  We are thrilled!

 We've been working on our PTA slate for a couple months and I agreed to be PTA president for 2017-2018 only if Henry got it.  So, I guess you can call me Madame Pres.  I am a little nervous about these big shoes to fill!

Shreveport Captains are back!

Bennett's first baseball game of the season was a good one!  We've been practicing since December, so we were ready for the games to start!  He was a little worried about playing against his school friends, but it turned out fine.  

I said "What happens if you can get you friend out?"  

He said "then I get him out, no mercy!"  

Alrighty then.

So, Bennett has friends from school on every other team in the league except for his.  After the All-stars mishap last summer, we decided to go ahead play with our all-stars buddies since we played with them all summer.  We have 4 really great coaches who love the kids and really invest their time into the boys.  It is a great group!

The cute cheering section.  Thank God for Gammy!

Andrew, Jude, Graham, Bennett, Dominic, Wesley, and Skyler

BLOOM Festival

Mom and I took Sarah Kathryn to the Bloom Festival at Norton Art Gallery while the boys went to the camp.  It was such a pretty morning at the gardens of Norton!  I got SK all dressed up for the event!

How is she so big?

So fun!
