Easter/Beach April 09

I'm sorry I haven't posted these pictures earlier. They are from Easter Sunday, my spring break, and our trip to Gulf Shores. We are staying busy and I'm counting down the days until my summer break. I hope you enjoy the slide show!!

Our 1st boat/fishing trip

This past weekend we went camping at Michael's Uncle Lee's pond. The weather was absolutely gorgeous! We had a very busy weekend too. After we set up things Friday afternoon, we took a ride on Grandma & Grandpa's Mule. Saturday morning Michael went turkey hunting but had no luck. After he got back from hunting, the boys went on their first boat ride. Then Michael, Grandpa, & I rode horses while Grandma, Whit, Brady, & Amber rode the Mule, and Chris, Ridge, Alex, & Avery rode 4-wheelers (sorry, no pictures of that because I was riding a horse - the 1st time in 2 years!). We had a lot of fun doing that, but we didn't stop there. After a short rest, we headed down to the pond for the boys first fishing trip.

In case you didn't know it takes at least 4 adults to take 15 month old twin boys fishing for the first time. Mama & Daddy holding the boys while catching fish, Grandpa baiting the hook and/or taking off the fish, & Grandma taking pictures. There were a few other adults there too and I'm sure they pitched in with some help.

Needless to say, we were worn out by dark. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

My Official Letter!!!

Today, I received my official letter stating that I PASSED my Comps!!! Thank you, Lord!

Of course, I can't complete a post without pictures of the boys. These were taken one day last week after a long day of rain.

Update

Just to let you all know ... I have been studying for my master's degree comps that I will take Wed., March 18. I will have four hours to complete four essays. If I pass these, then I will finally have my master's degree from Troy Montgomery!!! Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Don't forget to check out the new post below about the little stinkers and their new tricks!

Our New Tricks!

Last Saturday morning (3/7/09), when Michael went in to get the boys, this is what he found, Whit in the bed with Brady!

So Michael asked me if I had been in the boys' room yet. I said no and got the camera. Whit decided that he wanted to be in his brother's bed, not his. As we were standing there taking pictures, Whit decided to show us how he got in Brady's bed.

Here he is climbing over from Brady's bed to his.

And never lost his paci in the process!!!

Now back over to Brady's bed!

Look Mom and Dad what I can do!!

Needless to say, Whit's bed is now lowered to the lowest setting, and Momma has a very hard time putting him to bed with out dropping him.

Then, Sunday afternoon Michael calls me to the living room and this is what I find.

Yes, those are my twin boys on the coffee table, who were born 10 weeks early and spent 45 days in the NICU, but look what a difference one year makes!

Whit and Brady, "What we're not doing anything!"

Below is Whit playing with one of his favorite birthday gifts that was given to him and Brady. It sticks on the refrigerator and plays music. He and Brady have really enjoyed this - thanks Jason, Jana, & Joseph.

It was such a beautiful weekend and we spent most of Saturday & Sunday outside. They also love their John Deere tractors that were a Christmas gift from Great Uncle Lee & Great Aunt Brenda - thanks so much!

Playing in the Snow!

The boys spent the night with Grandma & Grandpa last night. So when Michael woke up at 5:45 and it was snowing, needless to say, we headed to get the boys ASAP. Here are a few pictures.

I hate to admit it ...

but I'm ADDICTED to Facebook!
