SPRING BREAK

Spring break was awesome!   As always, we are ready for spring break to get here.  Well, it was here and is already gone....too fast.   However, we were able to enjoy lots of different things.  We went to a baseball game, the McWayne Center, The Birmingham Botanical Gardens, played outside a lot, went on walks and were able to enjoy great company.  I probably posted too many pictures as usual but I still could have put more.  Enjoy!

A very adventurous walk with everyone in the fam.  
It is official:  JOSHUA IS NOW IN A BIG BOY BED.  It is hard to believe but we have moved to a new stage.  He is doing very well in it.  Grandma and Grandpa enjoying the evening.
Farmer Joshua with his bucket of dirt.

We dug for worms and any other creatures we could find.  He loves doing this and did it for hours.

Mom, seriously put the camera up, would ya?
Teething just a little bit.  How about those cute hands holding on.

We got to see E at his tournament.  He is so sweet with the little ones!
PR and Joshua jumping on the bean bag chair after playing for a while outside.
We got to spend some quality time with Ashley and Nathan..what a cutie!  He is such a happy little guy and Joshua and Millie loved to play with him too!
Told you...super cute.

SUPE.R HAPPY.  She would be perfectly happy if she never had to wear clothes
Joshua peeking in the bird house to see if any were home.
Just along for the ride. Millie Jane loves the wagon.
Bath time is awesome now that I am in the big girl tub.  Joshy and I have lots of fun.

The Tulips are beautiful in our backyard..just kidding at the gardens.  Joshua liked to smell them.
Millie enjoying the gardens.
Pit stop with dad.
Smelling a fallen flower.

Time for a little secret plotting against mommy I am sure.
Little miss sunshine!
Grandmommy pulling Joshua on this pulley system at McWayne.
There was a car you can work on like you are a mechanic.  It was really neat.Excavating dino fossils.
There are Leonardo Da Vinci displays at McWayne this is a tank he designed it was all very amazing.
Grandmommy and Joshua trying to catch a halibut....it was too heavy.

There is this huge fish and Joshua would look in his mouth like this and say,  "hello in there!"

Growing up so fast.

Apples are yummy to the tummy.
Even though Millie smiles all the time....she can throw out some serious looks, especially when studying tags.

A fun trip to the zoo. Always a great time.
On our way to see the otters and beaver.  
This is what they used to transport the rhinos to the zoo.  There is a hole in the top where one of them bucked his horn into the top of it.
Millie's take on the zoo so far.
The sheep were very sweet.
The pygmy goats were too!

Busted!
The three amigos coloring.
Jack's favorite toy of the week.....a box.

Joshua giving Millie and extreme close up nose rub and Mill returning it with a big slobbery kiss.

We managed to get them all in.
Early morning snuggles.

Big girl bath, Birthday Party and Snow day!

Had a few minutes before the wind gusts picked up to bang some sticks around.
Snow on the hands...a little cold and not really sure what to think.  He did love playing in it though.
Oscar had to knock all the snow off the dog bowls...not sure why but it was funny.
Mommy and the babies!  Millie always checking on Joshua.
Just a quick pic with dad and the babies!  They may not see snow again for a while. 
As you can imagine Lola was not thrilled with the cold or snow.
Snow day, let us in!
Patrick and Joshua wrestling.
Mandy and Millie got to have some time too!
Kris and Millie have their time of course!
Peekaboo!  Kevin is so big now.

Happy Birthday to you!  Blowing out the candles.
Wish I would have let him put his hand in it for fun...would have loved to see his face.  Joshua hates stuff on his hands.
Table talk for the ladies.
Parachute time...of course Joy being the PE teacher she is has them all movin' and groovin'.
The famous Jungle birthday cake.  too cute
Jack loving the wall....he is getting around really well now.
Ashley and Nicholle trying to get some conversation in while the little ones play.
Georgie, Lindsey, Sassy and Natan or ton as Joshua calls him, were able to make the party.
Getting tickled I am sure.

AnnaLynn saying "cheese" for the camera!
The birthday bunch.  Of course the birthday boy wanted nothing to do with this picture but hilarious anyway.

Joshua, Sophia, Jack, Trey, Ty, AnnaLynn, Ella Joy, Millie and Penny Rose (and Georgia)

Ella practicing her skills.

Ty under the parachute...they all have fun with the parachute!

Setting up the next play in the basketball game.  
Sophia in the "hollywood" shades.

Of course Millie is now at the point where she wants what Joshua has.  It is going to get interesting.
So fun.  It was so cute to have them both in the tub together.  
Pre-bath time.  Just being silly as always.  
I just love this picture.  She is getting so big in so many ways.

Just checking out my lunchbox...check out those guns!
