1/2 Marathon

My brother Jason and his girlfriend Cortney came down for a few days. Jason and I had signed up to run the Nashville half-marathon. The kids were more than excited and were basically attached to Jason and Cortney for their entire visit =)

The marathon was April 30th. It was the first half marathon for both of us:

They gave everyone who completed the race a medal

They also had a post race concert that was free for the runners. Montgomery Gentry was the headliner. So Jason, Cort and I went for dinner, a few drinks and the concert

We had a great visit! And I can't wait to do another 1/2 marathon!

Easter

We colored eggs the day before Easter:

The Easter bunny was very generous this year =) and the kids were really excited:

Then we got all dressed up in our Easter outfits for church:

Don't I have a good looking family? =)

Hope everyone had a very Happy Easter!

Grand Ole Opry

Jeremy and I decided that after living here for 4 years we had to make sure we made it to the Grand Ole Opry before we leave. We had a great time!

Riders In The Sky

Pam Tillis

Craig Campbell "Family Man"

Diamond Rio

There were a few other singers there that night to, but we didnt really know who they were. And we ended up with a good picture of the two of us:

On another note, Autumn had a project due for school this week. She had to make a bug, so this is her take on a lady bug =)

And... Jeremy built Dominic a new dresser:

He did an awesome job! And Dominic loves it!

Oy!

Time just seems to be flying by! I can not believe that March is almost over! We haven't been up to much this past month but Dominic has had a few exciting events. He had a school concert:

He also had to make a Leprechaun trap as a project for school:

No leprechauns yet, which unfortunately is still the first question he asks every morning. And he moves the trap to a new part of the house every night. Also.... My Daffodils finally opened!!! So excited that they came back this year and I haven't managed to kill them yet.

I will leave you with a little video of Dominic singing and dancing at his concert =)

Happy Birthday Autumn!

Autumn and I made cupcakes for her to take into school the day before her birthday, but school ended up being canceled due to snow. So she spent part of the day with daddy at work and took the cupcakes to them =)

She wanted a Lemon Merigne (Strawberry Shortcake's friend) cake:

She also wanted to have a costume party! I said numerous times how I needed to get a picture with all the kids together in costume, but unfortunately I forgot. We played a balloon game and pin the lemon on Lemon Merigne:

Opened presents:

Ate some cake!

And after all that fun, Autumn managed to play with ALL her new toys at once =)

Thanks to everyone who came to Autumn's Birthday! She had so much fun! And I can not believe my baby is 4 years old!!

A blizzard!

Well, for Tennesse it was ! We got 5 inches of snow yesterday! We all had so much fun playing in it too =) We went sledding for awhile and then Dominic wanted to make a snowman when we got back to the house.

New Years

We had a very uneventful New Years Eve. We were going to let the kids attempt to stay up and watch the ball drop, but neither of them made it. But we did eat some snacks and play board games until they went to bed. We got a few pictures in!
