Spring Break

This year for spring break we stayed around the house and enjoyed a local park, Stone Mountain, movies and playing in the sprinklers. Here are a few pictures of our day at the park.

Nothing like the monkey bars with a fractured foot!!

At the old Mill!

In front of the old mill house...

Fractured foot

Last month we were at my sister-in-laws house celebrating a birthday when Brooks decided he wanted to try and see just how many steps he could jump down. For those of you who know Brooks good know that he has always been our little dare devil. Well as you can see from the picture and the title the jump down the stairs ended in a fractured foot... Here is a picture of his boot he wore for a few weeks:-( I am not sure it slowed him down any...

Easter

Here are a few pictures of the boys on Easter. This year we went to our church for Easter and then to Brett's grandfathers for lunch and an Easter egg hunt. Then we headed over to my parents house and hunted eggs again!

Brett and the boys after church..

I just love this picture of the boys..

Ski trip 2010

I am a little late on this one sorry... In January we went with a few other couples and their kiddos (10 adults and and 8 kids) We or at least me, Brett and the boys had a blast and we all can't wait to go back. The boys were natural skiers!! Here are a few pictures of the day. I don't have many because most of my time was spent trying to catch up with one of the boys.

Mason getting the feel of it on the bunny slopes- which we only did maybe 2 times before hitting the big slopes.

Here is Brett and Brooks getting off the lift for the 1st time of many down the top of the mountain..

Mason ready to go! Sorry I have no idea how to rotate the pictures.

Freeman's mill park

This past Sunday- I took the boys and Bailey to the new park down the road from our house. It was a beautiful day. The boys rode bikes, went on a walk to the waterfall, and played on the playground. Here are some pictures of our afternoon.

Brooks and Mason at the waterfall....

The great playground!!

Just before the bike ride... gotta love Brooks bike helmet!!

Mason's 8th birthday

Here are a few pictures from Mason's 8th birthday party with a few of his friends. He had a blast playing flag football and the 4 girls started out playing football and ended with some cheers and stunts.

I think this is all of the crew:-)
Some flag football rules... before the game!

Before the party I can never get a good picture of the two of them!!

Thanks Becky for another great cake!

Snow days!

This year Mason decided he wanted to have a few friends over to spend the night for his birthday... Well after the list was about 10-15 kids... I decided that we had to find a place for the party so we decided to do flag football at Creekside in loganville the kids had a blast and I will post pictures later. We also decided to let him have a sleep over so we told him he could pick 4 friends. The plan was pick them all up from school play for a while at our house- then head to Grayson for Mason's basketball game and out to dinner..... well plans changed just a little.....I think the plans changed for the better you tell me??

Who would have guessed that it would snow 4 inches in Georgia.. What a great birthday memory Mason will have for years!

Mason and Brooks before Brooks went to spend the night with a friend!
Mason sledding!!

Happy 8th Birthday

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY MASON!!

Love,

Daddy, Mommy, Brooks, and Bailey

We have had a lot going on at our house the last 2 weeks. Brett and I decided to tackle a few home improvement projects it is crazy what you have to do to TRY and sell a house(we have not relisted but hope to again when the market gets better).... and no Brett did not do the work we hired someone! Here are a few pictures of the work.
