April Phone Dump

The boys started playing soccer this Spring. Overall, I would say it was a big success!

Picnic dinner before practice.



Why does he look like a small teenager here?!?

Carver's first game! He tried so hard in every game. 

Carson refused to participate in his first game...


Spring project. Also known as the worst craft ever. It took HOURS and more hot glue than I care to admit.


Carver's list of food likes and dislikes.

Hanging in the car line!


Painting flower pots.

A little Spring planting.

Evening at the Overlook.

Fairy Tale Party Day at Montreat Morning School!

This boy. So challenging. So sweet.

I made a wreath! Two actually :)

Lunch date with my littlest love. Pizza Hut of course.

Carver chose something out of the school treasure box for me. (So sweet!). It's a head massager. (So odd!)

Field trip with Carver's class to the Western North Carolina Nature Center.

Gross.

A little homework from Carver. Love that sweet boy.

Lunch in the car line. Every single day.

Bedtime playtime.

Coffee and visiting with Dr. Szabo at WCU. I owe her all of my academic and professional success.

Lunch date at Zoe's Kitchen.

Hanging out at Ridgecrest Conference Center with Daddy. Dinner, checkers and a little shopping in their retail store.

Spring Break Trip: Chattanooga!


For Spring Break this year, Daniel, the boys, and I headed to Tennessee. First stop-- picking Julia up from school so she could spend the weekend in Chattanooga with us.

When we got to Chattanooga we went straight to the aquarium. (It's a great aquarium!)




A lunch stop at the Blue Plate diner before heading to the second part of the aquarium.

Delicious salad :)


Butterfly Garden!




We rented a small house for the weekend-- two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It worked out well.


At the zoo!



They ADORE characters. 






Easter crafts at the zoo.

Champy's Chicken. Probably the best fried chicken I have ever had. Carver loved drawing on a $1 bill to hang on the wall.

Carver lost his first tooth!

Playing at the park.












Getting ready for Easter morning!



Oh these two...

Children's Museum!









Easter egg hunt!


Glow-in-the-dark egg hunt.



Donuts on our way out of town...


It was such a fun week. Chattanooga is a great city-- there is so much to do, and so much good food! I loved having Jules with us for the weekend :)
