Easter

Easter morning is always a little busy for us with the "curling" and fixing of all the girls hair, I usually run out of time to take pictures but I had a little window to capture the girls all dressed up!





Can't believe how big they are all getting. Kylie was wearing 3 1/2 inch heels, I wore flats, she was as tall as me! Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Decorating Easter Eggs

The girls had a fun time decorating eggs this year! We never got around to it last year, so they were eager to do it this year!  Gramma sent us some "dying Q-tips" that the girls could draw with on the eggs. Then the box I bought had sponge shapes with dye where you could "stamp" the eggs or make a speckled look on the eggs. 






 Next time I may need to put gloves on this little one!

Opening Day for Softball

Opening day for the Softball season started this past weekend. We arrived at 8:30 in the morning and left at 6:30 that night! It was a long day, but so beautiful and so fun!!!

We actually didn't plan the numbers on their jersey's! 

Each team makes a banner and they choose the winner in each age group and give the winning team a party. No winners this year, but cute banners!


Walking in the parade to introduce each team!

Ally's team, the Grizzlies,  passing out candy and wearing cute mustaches!


Emme's team the Sand Gnats!

Quick shot of Kylie, there was a back up in the parade, so I missed her banner, oops! 

Kylie was first in the batting order for the day!

Tailgating, Ally sporting the mustache! :)

Love that her little sisters are watching and cheering for Kylie!

Pre-Season Tournament

Well, Emme and Ally had a Pre-Season Tournament this past weekend. We arrived at 9am and didn't leave until 8:30 that night.  They each played two games, which their teams both won. Then went into a single elimination bracket. Each of their teams won that next game, then went into the last game before the championship game, and both of their teams lost. It was a fun and exciting day, their teams did great!!! We are excited for the season to start this weekend! :) Yay!

Weekend Getaway

 I took Todd up to Chattanooga for Valentine's weekend for a surprise getaway. I had won tickets to a Brantley Gilbert concert a couple months ago, so that started the planning of the getaway. We stayed in downtown Chattanooga and ate a yummy restaurant called Urban Stacks for dinner, so good! One of those restaurants that buys local, so everything was really fresh. We went to Rock City and Ruby falls the next day, so beautiful!! 

At the concert, it was really fun!
It was pretty cool that you could see seven states from the top. 
                                      


There were quite a few tight spaces to fit through!

Up at the top of Lookout Mountain. 

Another tight squeeze

Lovers Leap in the background. 

Entering into the cave to see Ruby Falls

A lot of the rock formations they gave names to, kinda funny!



This one is my favorite, ha ha!
The man who discovered the falls named it Ruby Falls after his wife.
