Time to Dye Easter Eggs

Cake is finished!

Yes, I am the terrible mother who allows her children to lick the beaters. I figure it didn't kill me so why not let them be kids.

Relay for Life in honor of Mrs. Shelton

We had a Relay for Life on Friday. This was to honor Mrs. Shelton (McKenna's teacher). Everything turned out wonderful. The Shelton Stars raised over $1100.00. We were so excited. The entire community, school, friends, and family helped to raise $20,000 for the Amercian Cancer Society. We were over the moon about this. We never dreamed it would be that big. Thank you to my friends and family that helped McKenna raise money. I pray that this money help find a cure for this awful disease. Here are some snapshots of Mrs. Shelton, her family, McKenna's classmates, Leon (my father-in-law/cancer survivor, Carrington and McKenna, and some of the Shelton Stars.

Egg Drop Day

We had to create a package that would hold a raw egg and survive being dropped from the air. We made this bunny. McKenna came in and said "Mom I didn't win the egg drop." I said "Why? I tested that thing and the egg didn't crack." She said, "I know, mine did not break so I didn't win." I had to tell the silly girl that this was a good thing. We were trying to keep her egg from cracking. We wanted it to survive. HA!

Our First Softball Game

McKenna up to bat at her first real ball game.
She hits a HOMERUN!!!! Of course, we went crazy. I think we might have a ball player here.

Palm Sunday Pics

This little stinker...I must tell this story. I try to wait until the very last minute on Sunday to get both girls dressed. I don't want them to be all wrinkled or get dirty. If you do it to early, Little Miss Carrington will have her shoes, bow, and socks off before you turn around. This Sunday I had waited, but had Scott dress her because I needed to go and do my hair. When I returned she was still dressed so we loaded up and headed to church. When I picked her up from nursery, Mrs. Norma said I want you to see something. She lifted her dress and Carrington had on her pajama bottoms. I said, "Did she not have on her pink bloomers?" She said yes and she had both legs in one hole of her pajama bottoms and they were around her waist. How we missed feeling this as we buckled her in the car seat and carried her in to church, I do not know. They tried taking them off of her, but she would have it no other way than to leave them on and take off the bloomers. She is a mess. There is never a dull moment.
Pretty Smile
I have a secret!

Outstanding Student

McKenna received Outstanding Student of the month. She was awarded a medal and certificate. We were able to eat lunch with her on the stage. She was so excited. She said she is rich now. Here we are, two proud parents. We love this girl so much. She makes us proud every day. She tries so hard at everything she does.

Spring Break

When we returned from Atlanta, we went camping at Tannehill with my parents. We enjoy this as a family. This is Carrington trying out McKenna's skates. Everything she sees McKenna do, she must try.

This is what they looked like on Sunday. They had a great spring break, but were worn out.

Atlanta Zoo

We went to Atlanta thinking we would enjoy the aquarium the most. We had heard rave reviews, however, the zoo was the best. We loved the layout and the animals were actually active. They had animals that Birmingham does not have. The girls had so much fun. Both of them love animals. We spent the whole day enjoying everything they had to offer (playgrounds, train rides, merry go round, great picture places, etc).
