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!

Weekend in Hot Springs and Little Rock

Last weekend Henry, Lucy, and I met Mom in Little Rock for the day to shop---then went to Hot Springs for the weekend. The weather was PERFECT----nice and hot and sunny! We got some good boat time in! Saturday afternoon we went to Disney on Ice at Alltel.

It was a really fun weekend!

We went to CUPCAKES in the Heights for a little treat!

What a FUN place!!!

Henry got to drive the boat all weekend. He got really good at it!

LUCY
Henry got lots of fishing in!
We had fun with Bud on Friday night! Peg was at Meredith's to do Race for the Cure!

Bailey, Ellie, and Henry

Bailey and Lindsey met us at El Porton for lunch before Disney on Ice on Saturday.

Henry and Ellie had lots of fun playing with Bailey.

Lindsey is having Bailey's little sister in one week--on May 11th!!!

Disney on Ice---this was the best pic I got!

Lucy and Hunt

Hunt came over to play last Wednesday while Courtney took Ellie and Henry to Tiny Tims.

They played so good together---they were pretty funny!!

Lucy would watch Hunt and do everything he did.

Hunt liked Lucy's purse!

M&M Man

Mr. John (aka M&M man) and Miss Kathy always bring M&M's to the kids when we are in Hope. They always look forward to their visits! Now that Lucy is 1 she can get M&M's too!

She LOVED them.......I think she will always be looking for the Akin's in Hope!!
