Golf Lessons

Grandpa Jerry suggested golf lessons for Kyan last weekend and gave us the information on where and when to sign him up - he even paid for his first lesson today! Kyan loves being on the golf course, so I figured he would love it as soon as they started! Lola was running up and down the hills and having just as much fun as her brother! It was a fun family afternoon.

She wouldn't let go of her golf ball!

All of the kids taking lessons today!

When not holding the golf ball, her snack bowl was in her hand!

Working on their putting stance.

Watching the teacher.

Lola chasing birds! She LOVES birdies and says "brrrrdies" whenever she sees them (or chases them)!

Big Swing!

Hanging out watching brother!

This was comical! She pushes her stroller all over the place and was so entertained by it! She loves to push everything!

Swimming at the Pointe

This afternoon, after Lola woke up from her nap, we went to swim at my parent's condo at the Pointe! It was a blast! Both of the kids had a great time splashing around with their grandparents! When we got inside, Kyan layed down and crashed out! Lola fell asleep in the car!

Easter Sunday Morning

Our attempt at a family photo today - NOT working, everyone was staring into the sun.

My parents with Kyan and Lola

We went to church this morning with my parents and then went to Breakfast at Mimi's Cafe - so yummy!

Easter Saturday at Auntie Rae's

Because it was raining-the kids had to hunt for Easter eggs in Auntie Rae Lynn's house! Inside, outside, they didn't care where they were at, they just cared that there was candy inside!!! Even Lola found the goods!

Kyan's reaction to a whoopie cushion that he "snuck" under Grandpa Michael's chair after he sat on it (and broke it - HA!)

Lola happy as can be above and mad as ever at the group photo's below! Oh well, can't win them all!

The joy of M&M's...gross!

Order Up

There is a blog that I check called perch that always has the cutest things, happened to be on it today and saw these:


I had to have them for Lola! I want to order all of the shoes that this lady makes, but wasn't sure how they would fit her since she has Fred Flinstone feet! So I ordered just one pair for now and if they fit, I will be ordering every pair that they have! If they don't fit - I have lots of friends with girls and they will make a great gift!

Spending all our time with Grandpa B

We haven't disappeared, just been spending all of our free time with Chad's dad. Many of you know he has had cancer for several years now, what many of you don't know is that is it getting the best of him. I haven't really blogged about it because Brion used to check this blog faithfully, however, it takes all of his energy to get through the pain these days. Chad has recently become Brion's primary caregiver and has spent every single hour with him since Thursday. Kyan is with him and refuses to leave his dad and Grandpa B's side, even if it is to just run to the store to grab something quick. Lola and I have been commuting back and forth after school and spent the weekend with all three of our boys. It is very hard to leave each night, last night I ran home to drop off a few things, then turned right back around and we were able to spend the night. Back again tomorrow to do the same thing.

I captured a few family moments this weekend that I thought were very sweet.

Grandpa B's bedroom turned into the perfect spot for a movie. On the big screen: Bolt. Lola was right in the mix of it all and couldn't take her eyes off the TV. She would laugh whenever she heard Kyan or her daddy do the same.

Kyan has been amazing through these tough times and when I went to Target earlier that day I brought home a few surprises. A movie, some Reeses Peices, Popcorn, and his favorite cookies! Grandpa B's room turned into a makeshift movie theature. He was great about sharing his candy at first, but as you can see, Lola was after his food even when he wasn't looking!

Crashed out last night. My little angels. They were cuddled right up to one another. Lola ended up sleeping in her playpen for only a few hours, she woke up screaming at about 4am and Kyan woke up and tried to calm her down. Did the trick eventually, because she fell back asleep right by him. He was not phased for a second by her screaming, another way that he amazes me every day.

Flowers and Bows

I talked about selling hair bows and flowers for a little while now, maybe in Camille's shop (wasn't sure that I would really do it or not). I like making these for my daughter and my girlfriends' daughters, but Camille and many friends have spread the word, so I guess here goes nothing! BLOG to come in a week or so (after AIMS and Career Ladder! - life is crazy busy right now!!!)
