April 8

The girls all had matching pink tutu skirts. 

Grandma got them cute hats.

Great Grandma got them white purses.

 I guess in nursery, Lucy was glued to her hat.  She loves her accessories.

 Mr. B had a matching pink tie.

 One of these days or years I will get a decent picture of all of them looking at me.

 A little too much sibling love for Jo.

Part 2 of Spring Break

Like I mentioned in the previous post, we played in the water A LOT.  The kids loved it, so I mainly have pictures of us playing in the water.

 Lots of boulders were climbed on, tons of rocks were picked up and thrown and the occasional hmm I wonder what this would taste like. Not sure what she ate in the picture.

 Still disgusted by whatever it was.

 Matt and I saw a momma bear and her 3 cubs.  The kids were sleeping when we saw them.

 She had fun laying her rocks on top of the big rock.

 We got quite dirty everyday, but no big deal, we were having fun.

Thanks to John and Jackie for a great Spring Break!

Spring Break March 31-April 6

We went to the Smoky Mountains.

We stayed in a cabin with Matt's parents, his sister, her husband and their cute little guy.

We had a fun trip.  I am going to dump a bunch of pictures on here, but it won't let me put all of them in 1 post, so this is 1 of 2 from our trip. 

We had fun driving around Cades Cove.  We let the kids ride up front with us since we are driving so slow. 

We did LOTS of playing in the water and throwing rocks in.

Ben LOVED this part, as did Lucy.

Ally said her favorite part was going on a short hike with grandma.

Look at those thighs!!!  Josey's thighs, not grandmas.

Ally worked hard to become a Jr. Ranger. 

There were things she had to do and she worked hard with grandma.

Cranking...

Sooo Mr. Ben is KINDA in the midst of potty training, so this comes with the territory!

We went to Cataloochee.

I was glad I had swim suits with me.  Ally didn't want to wear hers.  They had lots of fun.

Lucy, Pete and Ally.

Matt showed him how to pee on a tree.

He Is Risen

Happy Easter!  I always feel joy on Easter, remembering the Savior and what He has done for me.  Enjoy this new Easter video.
