The Shrine Circus

   We decided to go to the Circus last Thursday at Jim Miller Fair Grounds.  Grayson enjoyed the animal acts the best especially the elephants.  Me personally is not in love with the idea of the animals being used in the circus, but I would do anything for little G.  Caden somehow managed to sleep through the majority of it.  It is such a blessing that he can sleep during loud noises. 

The Elephant "sitting"

Grayson had such a great time! He enjoyed his hotdog, chips and icecream sandwhich!

One of the coolest parts of the show.  The horses or "unicorns" are very well trained to run in a circle, bow and pose.

All of the boys :)

Caden finally rolled over!

  
So Caden absolutely hates tummy time so we never thought he would start rolling over.... April 21st he finally had enough of tummy time and there he went.  Poor little guy is all head so it was quite the accomplishment! Now he is on his tummy a maximum of a minute before he rolls right over!

Loving Life

   We are loving every second of Spring!  Many dinners have already been eaten outside!  Now if summer will hurry up so I am back at home with the boys and the pools are open!  Caden sneezes a lot but hopefully he will outgrow the allergies because we live outside! 

  We enjoyed the Big Shanty Festival last weekend in downtown Kennesaw. We spent the day with friends and family enjoying the food and sunshine. Grayson bought a really cool bow and arrow from a local vender with the money he had earned! 

Grayson had so much fun!

He slept through most of it

Spring is here!!

    We absolutely love spring!!  We have been locked inside for way too long and now we can't stand being indoors.  We try and walk every night, Caden can ride in the baby carrier facing out.  He loves looking around and feeling the wind on his little cheeks.  Grayson enjoys our walks because he practices riding his bike so one day soon we can take the dirt bike's training wheels off (he has to be really good at riding his bike for this to happen). 
     We also are enjoying the grill again!  We had first "party" of the season.  It was so much fun with all of the babies and kids running around the yard.  JR and I kept laughing because the house was empty around 9... oh how our parties/get togethers have changed :)  
    We have loved having JR home for Spring Break this year as he gears up to start a new/old job Monday.  He is going to be the shop manager at Fortec where he formally worked. 

Easter Weekend

  We enjoyed a very fun and relaxing Easter weekend with family and friends.  The weather has been just perfect so we enjoyed being outside.  Grayson went to an Easter Egg Hunt Saturday at Maple First Methodist and had so much fun.  He collected 67 eggs and was very proud!  Allie and Elijah joined us later at the festival and were able to spend a lot of time together.  Later that evening we grilled out with Dana and Justin which was much needed!  Sunday we went to Small Group and Church at Noonday Baptist.  We had a great service with the boys!  After church we went to my parents for a low key lunch of hotdogs and such.  It was nice to eat outside and enjoy time with my family.  After that were went to Whitlock's Grille with JR's family.  It was a busy weekend but we enjoyed every second!

Motor Home Travels

  This past weekend I took off with my parents in their motor home for the weekend.  We went to Savannah for the WERA motorcycle race.  My dad races motorcycles and they also run a Children's Ministry at the race track.  The children of the racers come on Saturday and Sunday to hear about Jesus adn complete a craft.  I decided that it would fun to take Grayson (7), Caden(2 months) and my nephew Elijah (3).  We had a lot fun but was very tired after a fun filled weekend.   At times my mom and I questioned our decision :) but it was worth it!  The boys had a lot fun watching the races and finding my dad among the other racers.

Grayson singing at church

Grayson sang with his friends from Sunday School. It was so sweet to hear the little kids sing about Jesus!! It always melts my heart!

After they sang they were all asked what they can do to help. Here is Grayson's answer:
