We tried to soak in every bit of the good weather this weekend! Here we are in Jackson playing with Powers's family. Here are Ashley, Andrea, and Brooke, our nieces. They are the cutest things ever! Poor Mr. and Mrs. Lane- it is a total mad house with all of us there! We love them so much and thank them for taking us in!
Power's is really into buying land and having a farm one day. REALLY into it. He is also the bearded wonder again. Check out the avatar he made... hilarious!
What an awesome weekend! Serenity was on Spring Break last week so we were able to sneak away for an extra day and get some great family time in! We spent a few days with booper and chuck then headed to jackson for Powers's nieces birthday weekend. So great! Such a nice break!
We took Renny horseback riding for the first time... Ok, so the horses havent been ridden in....oh say... a good 5 years, so they weren't at all excited about this whole process. One of our horses, Hanky, doesn't like men one bit. He had been relatively mild with powers, until powers decided to sit on him! It was so funny! Hanky was throwing his head around like crazy and every 5 feet or so, he'd pull an about face and head straight back to the barn! Of course mom jumped on him and he did great! Mom's got him wrapped! Here are a bunch of pictures from our day out! Wasn't it beautiful outside? (ps. sorry i look like ive been hit by a truck. I promise i dont always look so bad!)
Mom was so glad to spend time with her horses! She had missed being with them! They love her and are seriously affectionate with her!
We were finally able to meet Clyde Hollis Fenstermacher this past weekend! He is the funniest thing! He is the spitting image of his daddy! We had such a good time visiting with the F's! They are the best story tellers ever! We giggled the whole time we were there! Unfortunately, Hollis fell asleep in his pimped out crib (or whatever that new word is for really cool sleeper/funhouse combo thing!) shortly after we got there. We did, however, check out his totally cool designer bedroom! It is ADORABLE! (no surprise there! Everything Katie puts together is adorable!!)
This might be the funniest thing ive ever seen. At this moment, tootie is playing with kitchen toys, totally doing her own thing, but the girls got rhythm that she cant deny! She has learned how to toe tap from somewhere and I've caught her doing it a bunch of times! Just imagine. No arms, no facials, just having a toe tappin good time...
It's SPRING BREAK! Woo Hoo! We have Renny for the week! Its been awesome, she's been having a blasty but poppa and I have been working so we have missed out on all the awesome photog ops! She's is currently roller skating for the first time in her life!! Can you believe that? 8 years of life and never strapped up a roller skate. Blows my mind! Powers called with an update.... she is walking with wheels. Baby steps, sweet renny! One day you'll be tearing up the skating rink with all your circus tricks, just like your dad!
Monday she played with friends and made the worlds largest paper picnic basket. Its enormous! Tuesday she worked in our pastors yard (!!) then went to the zoo. Today's skate day, and tomorrow were headed to Booper and Andaddy's for some good ole outdoor fun! Pretty good spring break, huh?
We babysat the babes last night- here are a few mugshots from the evening...
Caden's a little harder to video because he REALLY wants to see his picture on the back... he's always fussing before I can video him! This was precious tho!
You only have to watch the first few seconds of this one.... Im not sure what this is, but the kids have this big green frog that ribbits and whenever we press its ribbit, liz does this silent mouth drop thing! We dont know where she got that from!
Im not sure how Elizabeth turns on her 'most photogenic' button, but the girls got it down! Here are the pics and the video's will follow. How precious are these?
I dont know how to enable comments on our blog! I thought i had it fixed, but apparently not... anyone wish to clue me in? Email me if you know how to fix my mess up! Thanks guys!

Powers and I went to the Rhea's for some good QT last night. Its always awesome! Here are some pics and video's..
Nice family pic...
But that's all I could get out of Charley. Teenagers! She looked totally cute tho! Adorable outfit!
Tootie had pockets in her outfit and she kept walking around with her hands all stuffed in! It was so funny! She looks so grown up! Im cute as pie. Caden working outHere's Lizzy eating ice cream! She is so funny! I totally missed the funny moment of the night tho... apparently Caden hates cold stuff... I gave him a bite of ice cream and the look of horror on his face was hilariously pitiful! He walked around saying 'cold, cold' for the next 10 minutes! Poor guy!
music to my ears... lizzy has learned how to say I love you, pronounced "lub oooo". I've officially melted! We went to visit last night and played until everyone was plum tuckered out! Lizzy warmed her vocal chords on up and let loose! She clearly said 'nite nite' in the middle of her come apart, so mom and dad followed orders! I went in to tell them goodnight before we left and she looked up from her crib, runny nose and all, and croaked out "lub ooo." Ohh my. Break my heart in half...
From precious to hilarious, here's her hairdo this morning...
