Collin & Becka move to Los Angeles!

Collin and Becka moved to LA a couple weeks ago!!
The got a cute place in Hermosa Beach. They are about a block from the beach!
We miss them----but CAN'T wait to go visit!
Mom, Courtney, and I are going in June! We hope we see some STARS!
Jimmy Kimmel actually has a home right across the street from them---they saw him and Sarah Silverman getting in their car the other day!!
We are also planning on going back and taking the kids to Disney Land!

Collin and Becka stayed with us after the movers took all their stuff. Becka flew out one day and Collin flew out the next. We had fun their last nights in Fayetteville!

This is when we were "helping" them pack up!
Henry and Ellie playing on their scooter....I bet they are having fun on it in CA!
On his last night in Fayetteville, Collin wanted to eat at Herman's. Russ was working late--and Courtney was on her way home from Harrison for work so it was just me, Collin, Henry, & Lucy.
We sat on the deck and Henry and Lucy danced to the lady playing the guitar and singing!

Later---Courtney, Mark, Ellie, and Hunt came over to tell Collin Good-Bye!

Russ and Collin played ping pong LATE NIGHT.....despite his 6AM flight!
Courtney came and picked Collin up at 5AM and off he went on his CA adventure!
WE MISS YALL!!

Henry's Last Day at Fayetteville Early Education

Today was Henry's last day at Fayetteville Early Education. He started here right after he turned 2. He knows just about every teacher and kid at the school so it was a little sad for him today---and A LOT sad for me and his teacher Miss Natalie! We both kept crying!


They had a FUN "last day of school party"for Henry!


Miss Natalie had all his stuff packed up, a present from the class, and all the kids had made him cards. They all were hugging him and asking if he could come back on Monday to play and visit. They were so cute that I just cried and cried and made a complete fool of myself at the school!!


I was thinking how I used to think that Moms were rediculous when they cried when their child started Kindergarden and then look at me! Who knows what I will do on THAT day---scary!!

He got to be the LINE LEADER all day today!

Happy Mother's Day!

Henry brought me the sweetest Mother's Day gifts from school!
This is in his words why I am "so special"!!
It is hard to read----it says....
She is so special----because she cleans my clothes.
My Mom is as pretty----as a MOM.
My Mom is smart. She even knows----how to write her own name.
I'd like to tell my Mom----I Love You.
This was a flower pot he painted and had his hand prints as the flowers!
I LOVED my gifts!! I had a great Mother's Day!!

THE CIRCUS----the SHRINER Circus!!!

Saturday we went to the Shriner Circus---I had no idea how it was going to be but thought it might be something fun to get out and do. We got there and Henry got to ride the ponies and look at an elephant. He didn't want to get too close to the elephant! Then Russ and I left to go run errands and Nana and Granddaddy took Henry and Lucy to see the show. It wasn't much of a circus but Henry and Lucy still had fun!

Henry, Lucy, and Nana
Lucy liked petting the ponies---but didn't want to ride them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILA!!!


Happy Birthday Lila!!
We LOVE you!!

Fuller's Birthday Party

Last Saturday we went to Fuller's 4th Birthday Party! It was a skating party---Henry has never skated before so I didn't know how it was going to go. Russ was at work so I had both kids by myself. They let me push Lucy in her stroller around the skating rink---while trying to keep Henry and I standing! It was quite comical!
They had BLUE ice cream!
