7th Wedding Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to us! We ate at Downtown Thai & Sushi then we saw "Water For Elephants". I finished the book a couple of months ago...One of my faves. Would totally recommend it. The movie was good, but not half as good as the book. That's to be expected. It was a nice evening spending some alone time with the hubby. It will probably be the last date night Jon & I will have for quite some time.

I'm officially on bed rest for the remainder of this week when I will be 34 wks pregnant. I was so proud of Jon for taking Madelyn, Ansley, & Nolan to the Greek Festival on Sunday morning all by himself! His original plan was to go to Tanglewood Park, but it was too muddy. The girls were so excited to show me their new hair color & face paint when they got home. My in-laws, Barbara & Ordie are graciously here this week doing everything for us. They gave up their trip to FL to help keep their new grand-twins baking a little bit longer. We are so appreciative of them!

Busy Few Weeks

The kids had a good Easter. Got lots candy. The Easter Bunny hid cheetah print eggs for Madelyn, sparkle eggs for Ansley, & football shaped eggs for Nolan:)

My 3 & cousin Travis had fun playing with Grandpa outside at Uncle Brian's house during our trip to Lousiville.

We caught one of Travis' t-ball games while we were in town. Here's the Pate family looking so cute in blue:)

My 2 college friends Suzanne & Carin are also pregnant. Suzanne is expecting twin girls like me...what are the chances?

Jon & I headed to the wedding we came in town for. Not the best photo of me with my eyes half shut but Jon looks nice!

Jon flew in Fri night, just in time to celebrate his birthday. Madelyn got him a Human Body pop up book, something they can read together. Ansley got him a Ken doll so they can play Barbies together!

Ansley's ballet recital is coming up in June. She got to wear her costume to ballet class for pictures. Isn't she graceful?

I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Saturday evening, we took the kids out to dinner & to the Dash baseball game. Sunday morning was cool & rainy. We ran some errands & got lunch at Jason's Deli, one of our usual stops. The kids can be kinda loud & they get free ice cream. It cleared up for the rest of the day. Jon & the kids made me a birdhouse from a Do it yourself kid kit Madelyn got for Christmas. Madelyn & Ansley put their personal touch on it with some paint. I love it!
