And Another Game

Pop and I once again loaded up and traveled east to watch a soccer game that lasted an hour.  We then loaded up and headed back home.  I had a field trip the next day, so there was no rest for the weary.  I must say that their entire team has really improved.  The won this game 4-0, which I have been told is a pretty big margin.  Maddie loves playing, and we love anything she loves!!

Part of the cheering section!

The running never, ever stops!!!!

She played a really good game!!

Nana and Pop won the prize after this game!!!  We got to load these two cuties up and bring them home with us!  Mom, Dad and Maddie are coming for the weekend.

I promised this one that she'd get to come by herself one day soon.

Easter Egg Fun

I know this post is way, way behind!! I simply forgot to post it!  

Last spring, Pop got Papa chickens to raise.  It has been quite an adventure finding a way to use 9 eggs a day!  I had never dyed brown eggs before, so I wasn't sure what to expect!  Reed was not in anyway interested in dying eggs, but the girls, Pop and I enjoyed it!  Reed played with Beau while this adventure was occurring.

Pop and this little stinker also entertained themselves by putting stickers all over their face!  They decided they didn't want me to take their picture though!

Lillian believes in really getting involved in the job! Nails by Aunt Tay!

Isn't that beautiful!!  

Dying eggs is serious business!!

(Excuse the broom in the background!)

I just couldn't leave this one out!!

I love the dark colors!  We did learn that mixing colors leads to brownish grey eggs! I predict more egg dying in the future!

We  managed to squeeze in a few more egg hunts on this trip.  We seem to come up a couple short each time they search for them.  Cutting grass should be interesting. The girls also hid the eggs for Pop and me to find.

More to come!

Catch Up

Sometimes I go back through my pictures and realize I forgot to blog about certain events.  So, even though it may have happened a while back, I still like to include the memories.  When Lindsey and Caleb were little, I scrapbooked.  Blogging is so much easier!!! It helps me to somewhat organize our life into easy to find short stories! 


Spring pictures for the little ones.  They are growing up so fast!

We took Lindsey and Caleb to the Ralph Morgan Rodeo in Lauderdale for many, many years. (We actually began going when we were dating, which was a really, really long time ago.) The grandbabies had never been to a rodeo, so we loaded up and headed to Mississippi.  I am happy to say that the rodeo did not disappoint.  We did miss Taylor.  She was attending the shower of a friend.

The first pictures are of Maddie trying to catch the calf and take the ribbon off.  Sadly, she didn't get it, but she'll know what to do next time!

One of the things we always enjoyed  the most was Lecile the clown.  Before we got there, we jokingly said we bet Lecile wouldn't still be around.  He was there in all of his 81 year old glory!!  I enjoyed him as much this time, as I did over thirty years ago!

 I love my sweet family!

We will be back next year!

Another Fun Game

First of all, I'm still learning my way around the world of soccer.  I will say this though-I can tell they are really improving.  And there's lots and lots of running-I mean lots!!  It wears me out just watching!  It's also easy to take a pretty hard lick to the head or face!!  Mostly, it's just lots of fun to watch!  I have to say, soccer is growing on me.  I traveled 3 hours there and three hours back to watch an hour long soccer game!  It was worth every mile traveled!


Keeping up with where the ball is can be quite a challenge!!

Two of Maddie's biggest fans!

Friends

 Headed down the field!

Always running!!

Love those blue eyes!!  Mr. Tony, we are heading your way as soon as possible!!

Sweetest smile around!

Even the smallest of sand or dirt piles can occupy them for a very long time!

Good game!

We are heading back for the weekend.  More to come!
