7-5-4

 
We just wrapped up Birthday Season around here.  Layla is 7, Anna Lea is 5, and Wyatt is 4!!!  Crazy!!  I really didn't think we would ever get to this stage, but suddenly here we are.  I decided not to do individual friend parties this year, and instead do a family membership to the Tennessee Aquarium. 
 
 


Easter Sunday
 
 
 
Gram and Layla
 

 
Anna Lea's birthday at Pre-school.  We brought ice cream cones for everyone:)

 
 
We celebrated as a family that evening with cupcakes, and presents.
 

 
We also had a special treat, Grandpa was able to be there!
 

 
 
Bundles of energy, determined, curious, tender-hearted, animal-lover, loves to be kissed, Anna Lea
 

 
 
Family Trip to the Aquarium was lots of fun!
 



 
Wyatt's little buddy Aleksio was able to come as well.
 

 
 
Next up, Layla's big day!
 

 
 
loves people, loves food, thinks things through, great reader, big helper, Layla

We had a few extra friends who happened to be here to celebrate with us, Clif, Sally, Violet, Caroline, and Laurel!!
 


 
 
All the kiddos:)

And finally, Wyatt's big day.
 
Construction Cake that I was very proud of myself for making:)

Spring Break With Friends

This year, for the first time, my friend Adrienne and I set out on our own with ALL of our children for Spring Break!  We found a neat place in Perdido Key, Florida, and we really enjoyed it!  The kids especially had a great time getting to hang out with their buddies for a few days.
 
 
 
Anna Lea, Wyatt, and Layla

I can't believe these are the only pictures I got, but at least we made it home with all 5 kids!
