Buggin' Birthday

Drew Bug had a ladybug birthday! It turned out really great considering all of the nasty weather we had for most of the weekend! We had family and a couple of friends over for some backyard fun. We grilled out, jumped on Drew's new trampoline, played ladybug beanbag toss and painted faces. Here are lots of pictures from the "buggin" birthday!

Just for fun... Drew as a ladybug on her first Halloween

Oh sweet Drew... we blinked and you turned three years old! It seems like yesterday you were coming into this world. You are a beautiful and smart little girl. Daddy and I are so lucky to be your parents. We knew we would love you, but we never could have imagined just how much. You are a wonderful big sister and Bennett loves you so much (you know just how to make him smile)! It has been an action packed first 3 years and we can't wait to see what all the others have in store. Happy Birthday Drew Elizabeth.

Dinner with the Boyz

Brandan was giving Drew a few tips on her dance moves Sunday evening after dinner. The beat is courtesy of a little Boyz II Men.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Rach brought her new camera lens over and we had a little photo shoot. I thought the pictures turned out so good! Looking at these, I feel blessed beyond words to have two beautiful and healthy children. These are a few of my favorites...

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14

Friday Night Skatin'

Friday night we went roller and ice skating with friends from church at the Skatium in Little Rock. We had so much fun! I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time! Thanks to Rachel I have some wonderful pictures of the night. Sorry there are so many pictures, but it was hard to choose... I was cracking up looking at each picture! Hope ya'll get a laugh out of them too!

Look close, yes there is Brandan and Drew!

This was Bennett's expression most of the night. Yes, I took Bennett to the roller rink... inappropriate on so many levels... I know. Reminiscent of Reese Witherspoon's line in Sweet Home Alabama-"You have a baby... in a bar!" Except ours was "You have a baby... in a ghetto roller rink!"

Drew- a.k.a Gumby (sp?)

FAVORITE picture of the night!! Holding on for dear life!!

Brandan picking Drew up... mind you he is also in skates... not the best idea

Peek

-a-Boo

Evie's skates rubbed a blister on her foot, but it was so worth it!

Roller Rink Regulars

Bottoms Up

Yes, Drew did stop and break it down in the middle of the rink! I'm pretty sure the song playing was...apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur

She was proud...I was a little embarassed

Before we left we walked over to the ice skating side (no we DID NOT ice skate). Drew was freezing so Brandan zipped her up in his jacket... so cute.

Drew at the Zoo

Over Spring break, Drew made a trip to the zoo with her Nana. Apparently they weren't the only ones who decided to get out and enjoy the weather and animals.

This is the line they had to stand in to get in the zoo.

This is how Drew felt about waiting in the line.

Lunch break

Drew has to be completely exhausted to fall asleep in the car (the girl DOES NOT sleep in her car seat). So as you can see she was pooped and had a great time!

Pre-game Warm Up

Getting in a little "egg hunt boot camp" before the main event. Next practice will be sprints and tackling! Goin' for the gold this year! Obviously I am kidding, but what a beautiful day to enjoy a little easter egg hunting.

Hmmm, now where did Drew and Evie hide those eggs??

Annnd game over!
