Easter 2012

We had a very busy Easter this year.  The girls dyed eggs the night before.  On Easter morning they hunted their eggs and baskets then we went to Nana and Papa's where they dyed more eggs and hunted eggs.  Easter afternoon we went to Marshall's parents where they had an outside egg hunt.  Tierney loves to hunt eggs!

Hailey's Birthday Party

 Tierney, Grandpa Bud, Tay, Hailey

 Shane, Ethin, Tay, Tierney, Hailey

We had a surprise birthday party for Hailey's 6th birthday at the Super 8.  It was so cute when she got there and the kids were in their swimsuits she asked if she could swim!

This and That...

I have so many pictures to post from the past couple weeks and will hopefully have time to do that tomorrow. This month has been crazy. Marshall has been busy with the wrestling club. Tay has been busy with scouts, dance, AAU volleyball, and AAU basketball. Tierney has been busy with basketball, dance, scouts, and a minipom clinic. For me I am just trying to make sure everyone is where they need to be and help coach Tay's volleyball and still both girls' scout troops. Tierney danced at half time of a basketball game for her minipom. She did a great job and if we can squeeze it in between volleyball tournaments she will perform next month as well. Needless to say when we had a snow day last Friday and this Monday they were very welcome in our house!

Tierney was sick a couple of days this past week. It looks like she is going to have sinus problems just like her mom. I feel so bad that it is starting so young. It was hard for her to stay home two days and miss all of her activities and school. She is so funny... she insisted I eat lunch with her yesterday well when I got to her room her entire class sang happy birthday to me it. It was pretty nice.

I need to get ready for Tay's games today but have to end by sharing some funnies that Tierney said this week... that girl makes me laugh everyday.

On Sunday Marshall had wrestling and the girls and I were going to church. Tierney says "why does dad get to have all the fun and we have to go to church". And yesterday when she got up she says to Marshall "you didn't even get your wife a present on her birthday dude". Oh boy I think he felt bad and said that he was going to go the day before but she was home sick and couldn't leave her by herself. Tierney's come back "I wouldn't be by myself Roscoe is here". Poor guy... I did have beautiful flowers on the table when I got home from school.:)

Christmas at Grandma Thea's and Grandpa Lewie's

We had Christmas with Marshall's parents the Monday after Christmas. The kids love to play all day with their new stuff.

Christmas morning we spent at home. We had told Tierney she couldn't get out of her bed until seven. At exactly seven she was in waking us up. I love how excited she is during the Christmas season.

We spent Christmas Eve at my parents' house... here are some pictures from the day.

Christmas 2011

I don't have time to post all of our pictures from the past couple of days but will do so this week. We started our Christmas festivities with the girls' school parties on Thursday. Thursday night Marshall and I took Tierney to see Santa. She ended up getting sick in the night Thursday so Friday my mom got Tay so she wouldn't get sick and I got to make cookies myself. Not quite the same but better than everyone being sick. On Saturday morning (Christmas Eve) Tierney was much better and was able to help frost the sugar cookies. We then went to Nana and Papa's to celebrate Christmas with them. Above are the pictures my parents gave me. Mom took Tierney and Hailey a weekend in November and had them taken. They are so pretty and I love all of them! The girls had so much fun yesterday. We made homemade Christmas ornaments, went to candle light church service, and of course had to open presents. Papa is trying to convince Tierney and Hailey that he is Santa and I'm pretty sure Hailey is believing it! Santa did come last night and we opened those gifts and celebrated Christmas just the four of us oh and Roscoe this morning. This afternoon we are going to Marshall's grandma's to celebrate with his family and cousins. Tomorrow we head to Grandma Thea and Grandpa Lewie's and Tuesday we celebrate with Grandpa Bud! The girls are loving all of the Christmas'. I will get pictures posted of all of the fun this week. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!
