A few photos from my phone

I downloaded the most recent batch of pictures from my phone. Here are a few highlights from the past couple of weeks. . .

Lucy and Alex hanging out at Grammy's house

Alex the Easter Bunny

Charlie didn't like being the bunny!

Matching flannel outfits - it was a cold day!!

Naptime - Charlie was snuggled up next to me, holding my arm. So sweet!

And here's what Alex was doing during naptime! ;)

We had some more snow last week - hopefully spring will be here to stay soon!

Charlie kept reaching and grabbing for the hamper the other day while I was folding clothes . . .so I sat him in it! He had fun sitting there playing with his toys and didn't want to get out!

Alex wanted to join the fun too. . . he like grabbing all the holes on the side.

Gramma's neighbor made Lucy a dress for Easter. She was so excited to wear it to school last Thursday.

Happy Easter!

Whew! What a day!! Sundays are always crazy and today was no exception! But it was a great day celebrating with friends as we rejoice that He is Risen!

Everyone seemed to wake up at the same time this morning, so I missed a picture of Lucy with her Easter basket. The boys just didn't seem to care that there were gifts for them in the living room - they wanted to eat and they wanted to eat NOW! ;) I did get pictures of them afterwards with their stuffed animals from the Easter Bunny. On Lucy's first Easter, she got her stuffed pig that she loves so dearly. I wonder if the boys will like these just as much . . .

Alex and his lamb

Charlie and his bunny

The kids sang and played bells at church today. Lucy did a good job watching and played her color every time she was supposed to.




They also sang Grace Flows Down and Lord I Lift Your Name on High. Lucy sang out and had lots of fun doing the motions. (Check out her friend Brody next to her in his super cool hat! He didn't know all the words but he loves to dance while they are up there!)


We went after church to have Easter dinner with Mrs. Brenda and Mrs. Jean's families. There was so much food and it was so delicious. . .I ate WAY too much!! We did get one quick picture of our family as well.


After dinner, they hid eggs for the kids to find. Lucy had a good time and was pretty well behaved, especially considering that she didn't get a nap. The boys also were well behaved - which was amazing because they had only had one 30 minute nap before church this morning. They wouldn't close their eyes because they were so afraid they would miss something! But to my surprise, they remained happy the whole time we were there!



And since Sundays are so crazy, I didn't have time to get any pictures of all the kids together. However, we had gone earlier this month to get pictures made of them in their sweet Easter outfits. .. ignore the quality of the photos since I just took a picture of the picture itself - just focus on the cuteness of these three!

Easter Egg Hunt

We had the Easter Egg hunt at Salem church today. The weather turned out to be really nice. Lucy had so much fun finding eggs and the boys even joined in the fun too. Charlie walked around with Mrs. Brenda watching everyone run around looking for eggs and Alex hung out with Mr. Lenny. :)


 There were eggs hidden everywhere!

Hunting for eggs with Carly

There were even eggs in our yard!

Finding eggs is fun!

When she described how many eggs she had found while hunting, she said, "I found 100 eggs!" She paused and thought for a minute and then said, "Well, maybe just 60!" :) Such a funny kid!!

 And it looks like the Easter Bunny has already stopped by! Baskets are ready for everyone in the morning! :)

Happy Birthday, Latimer!!

We went home to celebrate Uncle Lattie's Birthday this weekend!!!

First we stopped off in Statesville on Thursday to visit Great-Mommy and Great-Daddy. (Charlie was ready for nap as you can tell in these pictures!)




Thursday night, Daddy, Day-Day, Lattie, and Poppa went to the ACC evening ball games. On Friday afternoon, we headed over and had dinner with Gramma and Pappy, Uncle Joe, Aunt Lauren, and Harper. :) Then on Saturday, it was time for Uncle Lattie's party!

 Lucy helped decorate!

 Lucy was excited to wear a party hat

Birthday Boy!

Silly Daddy

Yummy meal

Lucy wanted to wear her hat like a unicorn. This a picture of her "bowing" like the unicorns do on My Little Pony!

Alex and Charlie didn't want to miss out on the fun!



Lucy helped Uncle Lattie open his presents

Party Dogs!


Lucy reading to Uncle Lattie and Jenni

We are in trouble when this little boy gets moving on his own! :)

Funny Uncle Lattie!

Silly Uncle Day Day

It's been a long time since we've all been together and with David getting ready to move out west, it may be a long time until we're all together again. So. . . family picture time!!






Then it got a little crazy . . .
