Spring Break fun: a look back on our week

Lily, now & then....

Over Spring Break, we took a trip to Birmingham to visit the McWane Center. There is one exhibit that the kids absolutely love. It is the bed of nails. It looks intimidating, but my kiddos are so brave that they will try anything. Lily hopped right up to try it and I snapped her picture. I remembered that we had taken the kids back in 2007 so I searched for a picture of Lily to compare how she has grown in 3 years.

I will be updating the blog all week with pictures of some of the fun things we did on our Spring Break "staycation" 2010 so please come back and visit!

mommy & daddy date night

We love spending extra special alone time with each of the kids and they love it too. We switch it up. Sometimes I take Lily out for some girl time. We get pedicures or something. Sean's favorite thing to do with daddy is to go to Academy sports. This particular night, Sean took me out on a "date". We went to Chili's and shared a dessert - Sean's favorite molton lava cake. Buddy took Lily out to the father/daughter sweetheart dinner at Chick-fil-a.

Lily was a duck in her school play "Animal Crackers"

New PINK dresses

Lily LOVES anything pink! I think she would make that her middle name if she could. Recently, my sister and I found matching pink dresses for the girls. They were more than happy to humor us by posing for these adorable photos.

where has my baby boy gone???

I can't believe this little fella will be SEVEN years old in about 8 weeks!!!

It seems like just yesterday he was getting his first tooth.

Now he is loosing all of his baby teeth!

He is still my little cuddle bug. Although,

he may have wanted that to be our little secret.

Tenderhearted and funny -

This kid has brought me so much joy!!!

Snow Day

That would be ME!!! The crazy lady in the above pictures, sliding down the hill making a fool of herself.....

The "Big blizzard" of 2010 (haha) was crazy and amazing. Our day pretty much consisted of getting soaked, making a snowman, having snowball fights, coming in to warm up and change and then repeating those steps all over again about five more times.

Up close and personal with Lily
