The Last Roll

We took the girls to the A Day game this year. They did excellent for about the first hour and a half and then Harper knew it was supposed to be nap time and started getting tired. Not to mention that at A Day they don't have a half time show, the eagle flying, etc. to keep them entertained. We sat in the Beckwith Club so the popcorn and ice cream helped tie us over for a while. :) After the game was the last roll of Toomer's Corner. There were a ton of people there and it was near impossible to get a stroller close to the trees.


As you can tell, we had two exhausted little girls at this point.


Until Pop started a roller coaster ride in the stroller.

We went back on Sunday to get a closer look and let the girls experience everything. Of course it's not quite the same without their Auburn attire on!




The girls weren't too sure what to think when we first got there.

Harper kept wanting to blow her nose. 

We found some toilet paper and a little tree for them to throw the paper on. Payton was so funny because she wouldn't throw the roll. She would only take off pieces at a time, only to be sure not to lose her roll.



It was definitely fun and I'm so sad that our kids won't grow up with the same memories that I have of the infamous Toomer's Corner rolling.

Chase turns 5!

We celebrated Chase turning 5 playing at Monkey Park! The weather was absolutely gorgeous and fun was had by all!









Brandon and Cheryl

The following weekend (April 6) we headed to Atlanta to celebrate Brandon and Cheryl get married! The weather was absolutely beautiful for an outdoor event and the venue and decorations were just perfect!


Reception time! The little girls were in awe of watching the bride and groom dance their first dance. They were anxiously awaiting their turn on the dance floor.

Harper ate lots of fruit and took it all in.

I don't think Payton sat down the entire three hours of the reception. She had such a great time!

Even Great Bamama made an appearance on the dance floor.



Later in the night, several of the bridesmaids dancing were holding their kids because everyone was getting so tired. Cheryl said she needed a baby to hold so we gave her Harper. She wasn't so sure!


We wish Brandon and Cheryl the best in the future as Mr. and Mrs. Reed!

Easter

We started Easter activities on Saturday night dying eggs at Nana and Pops house. Both girls took it very seriously.

We got up the next morning and made it to early church. Payton spied what the Easter bunny left just before we got out the door. Harper wasn't interested at all because she wasn't quite ready to get up and going. Instead, Payton told Harper all about the fun things she got. They both got new swimsuits. Payton got a t-ball set and Harper got a bubble gun like Payton's so now they can each have one.


After church I attempted pictures in the front yard. It was really sun at that time and the girls of course weren't wanting to cooperate.






I was trying to get Harper to look at me so I told her to play peek-a-boo. This is what I got from Payton.


After naps we went to Nana and Pop's house for an egg hunt and Easter dinner. Harper was a pro at egg hunting at this point and took it just as seriously as the big kids.
