 Dear friend, Lindsay! We are exactly 5 weeks apart!

silly faces ;) (photo by Jane Kimmel)

These photos were taken at 28 and 29 weeks, but this is week 30! Yay! I truly can not believe how fast this pregnancy has gone by. Baby update is my next post! She is as cute as a button (according to me of course) and looks just like her big sister! Only 10 more weeks to go! (and we have nothing done...Yikes)

Mom is 50 and FABULOUS!

Friday, April 13th, we all loaded the car and headed to South Carolina to surprise Mom for her 50th birthday! GG, Sis, Jane Kimmel, and I were so excited and eager to see her! All her wonderful friends started planning this 50th birthday bash months ago and the "cover up" for her party was us coming to see her. She had NO idea. Our plan was to take her out to lunch and go shopping on Saturday, then come back to "pick up" Bill who was taking us out to dinner that night. Little did she know, when we pulled in the driveway, everyone was there with decorations, food, music, and wine! Although it was a short trip, we had so much fun :) We love you Granna, and no doubt honey... you are 50 and FABULOUS!

 Waiting on Granna :)

 SURPRISE!!!!!

 We scared her so bad, she started to cry...

 And so did Jane Kimmel... not exactly how we planned it.

 We went to dinner that night!

 So excited to be with Granna!

 And to see Aunt Sarah! (her shadow)

 GG "stylin" in her shades on the way to shop!

 Great friends :)

 brothers and sisters, minus Luke.

 Beautiful Mom :)

 And beautiful Sis :) Love you.

 The princess dressed for the party

 Her scrapbook with pages made from family and friends!

These were HILARIOUS! I could not post anymore pics of them, but her friend got them for her. They were little signs that said all kinds of things :) Funny stuff!

If you can't tell, fun was had by ALL! Happy Birthday Mom, we sure do love you!

Our First Easter in Conway

We were so thankful for our family that came and visited over Easter. We were in need of some friendly faces :) 

 KK came and we went to the library's egg hunt!

 We enjoyed balloon animals and face painting as well.

 Aunt Margaret came to save the day! She helped this prego mommy unpack boxes and organize our 

house. I love you Sis!

 We had so much fun spending time with KK

 Uncle Luke came to visit, and Jane Kimmel LOVES when Uncle Luke visits :)

 The boys were troopers as we went to an Easter Carnival (that I had no idea how big it was)

 We enjoyed face painting, cake walks, eggs races, sack races, blow ups, and of course... hunting eggs

 We loved flying the kites!

 haha... she is such a little diva...

 Dada "coached" her on getting the eggs

 Papaw came to have Easter lunch!

 Jane Kimmel dyed and hunted double yolk eggs that Papaw brought!

And this was a sweet ending to a beautiful Easter weekend... she was exhausted. 

What a blessing it is to know God's love for me, and others. To know I was bought with such a high price and the sacrifice that was made, is overwhelming and beyond comprehension. He is ALIVE, and we will rejoice!
