My oh my May!

*Pictures will come later, having trouble uploading.

This time ten years ago I would have been planning out summer with my friends. Sleep, sleep, pool, six flags, sleep. Nowadays it goes a little something like this. Bachelorette party, late nights at work, t-ball games, birthdays, graduations,  weddings, going away parties, Memorial Day.
Don't get me wrong, it has been fun and we have enjoyed every bit of it but whew i'm exhausted! Lets see where do I begin....


  • Cohen's last game of t-ball was a couple of weeks ago. He got to pitch!! yay!!! It has been fun watching him and we're excited to see if he wants to continue with it in the spring.


  • Chad & Erica got Married!! It was beautiful, elegant, homey, & just an all around good time!! Justin caught the garder..yeah I know what that means but unless you would like to chip in on our wedding jar fund, don't say it! haha


  • The dogs are finding and eating all the chicken eggs


  • MY BABY GRADUATED PRE-K!!!! I didn't think I was going to be emotional but it was surreal. It seems just yesterday he was saying his first words and crawling around, now he's reading, free hand coloring pictures that I honestly do not think I could color! Now my big boy is off to Kindergarten in the fall!


  • Took another trip over to our favorite farm, Southern Belle Farms to pick some delicious black berries and of course while still in season and available we picked the mouth watering strawberries. 



And last but not least...Memorial weekend! Friday started off with putting the boat at the dock and out to eat with Josh & Amberly at the oh so amazing Amici's (there hot honey wings are to die for!!!) Saturday was fun, we took a picnic to the beach at the lake with Justin's parents and Mam-Maw. Grilled burgers, soaked up some rays, Cohen made a few friends, as he always does anywhere he goes, and just RELAXED!!! Sunday we hung around the house and soaked up the a.c. and caught up on our d.v.r shows. That night Josh & Amberly let us tag along with their friends to tailgate the Braves game. After having what was an amazing meal we went into the game where general admission tickets got us the nose bleed seats. I'm talking no cup holders, a mile hike to your seat and the fence behind your back! Aside from Justin losing his now 5th phone it was a great day! The last day was Monday, the day that we thank those who serve and have served! We headed to the lake to eat with Amberly's sweet family and spent all day on the water!

I'm pretty sure I need a vacation, and by vacation I mean at least 3 days of nothing. No alarm waking me up, no plans to do anything at a certain time, no phone calls and no cooking! Maybe one day but till then i'll just keep on with my calming chaotic ways I call my life!

A Bunny broke into our house!

That's right folks, a Bunny broke into our house. He luckily only managed to leave chocolate, clothes and toys! Easter is up there on my list of favorite holidays aside from Halloween!
We started the weekend off with dying Easter Eggs and boy was that fun!!
    

 After dying eggs we decided to visit one of our favorite farms, Southern Belle Farms to pick strawberries to take along with us on Easter day. 


Normally we go for Mothers Day but we thought since we actually had a free Saturday that we would fill the time by picking strawberries and visiting with animals.



                  

Churning the Homemade Strawberry ice cream that was DELICIOUS!!!!!
And now for the big day, Easter! Cohen awoke to a trail of eggs the Bunny had left him leading him to his basket full of goodies. He was thrilled about his one truck and the minimal candy (the Easter bunny took one look at how many toys he had and opted for clothes instead.) 
After getting ready we headed off to Church with Chassidy, Brad & the boys where we also met Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Gay. The service was great and it was our first time attending their Chruch. I'd say we'll be back again!
Finally, we headed over to the Easter Hunt with the rest of the family. This year was especially fun, all the boys were bigger, faster and all the babies are now old enough to hunt on their own.
Daddy wake up the Easter Bunny Came!
