We spent Memorial Day at Lake Lotela with friends!  It was a great day filled with lots of fun!  We are so thankful to all the servicemen who have and still are serving our country!  God Bless America!

Weekend Getaway for Mommy and Daddy and Weekend Sleepover with Mammy for the Girls

This weekend, Mommy and Daddy went on a getaway with Matt and Summer to Orlando while the girls spent the weekend with Mammy!  The girls were so excited they were going to get to spend the night two nights with Mammy!  Mommy and Daddy had fun staying at The Omni, going to The Great Escape Room, having dinner at Bull & Bear, and lounging by the pool and the girls had fun playing with Aunt Bonny and Mary Kate at the pool, cheering for Brooker at his football game, and just hanging out with Mammy!  A fun weekend away for everyone but it was so good to be home with our girls after two days away!  Mommy and Daddy missed them tons! :)

headed to the pool with Aunt Bonny and MK

Summer and I were ready to tackle The Great Escape Room!

We were put in the Game Room and it was just us 4...usually there are 10 people in there...they gave us a few extra minutes at the end to try and escape since we were so close and it was just 4 of us and we escaped in 1 hour and 2 min!

Dinner at Bull & Bear....YUMMY!!!!

BullShark and Bear...our men :)

Girls were cheering their hearts out for Bubba!

So proud of this awesome football player!

The girls loved being at Mammy's and having a pool to swim in and play around all the time!

Preschool Car Party

Every year at FBP, the end of the year big event for the graduating class is to have a "car" party where they are to build with the help of their family, their dream car/method of transportation to take to a drive in movie.  The big key to this being that it needs to made mostly out of cardboard!  When we asked Marlee what her dream car would be, of course she said A HORSE!!!  Bear and I were stumped on how we were going to make this and make it to where she could sit on it to watch a movie!  After MANY hours of researching and LOTS of time brainstorming with some help from the Laye Family, Barben Family, and GiGi, we came up with two horses and a carriage for our sweet girl to take to her car party!  Marlee couldn't have been more excited about her horses and carriage and it was all made out of cardboard except for the seat and legs on the carriage!  It took many hours to make but our sweet girl was worth it and the smile and excitement on her face was priceless!  She had so much fun at her car party and it was a great end to a great year!

Practicing using her reins at home before the big day tomorrow!

All set up in the gym :)

all the cool creative cars set up :)

Karsyn was excited to sit in Margaret's carriage with her.

Marlee was so excited to take Mary Kate on a ride :)

Marlee's Preschool Graduation

I can't believe this day has come...Marlee is Graduating from Preschool!  Time truly does fly by...it seems like I was just taking her to her first day of preschool!  Marlee, along with her class has been working very hard over the past couple of weeks to prepare for Graduation!  She wanted everything to be a surprise about the program so she didn't tell me anything that they were doing but I would catch her practicing and singing in her room a time or two! :)  The Graduation was truly spectacular!  It was filled with lots of beautiful songs about God, memories/pictures from the past and present and sweet touches for Mom and Dad!  Mrs. Kristin worked so hard to make this night so special and it truly showed!  Marlee had lots of family and friends at her Graduation watching her and she did her best and shined on stage!  We were all so proud of her!  She is now officially a Preschool Graduate...Kindergarten here she comes!!!

Her Official Graduation Picture :)

These shirts are so cute!  The kids got to draw themselves and how they think they look and write their name and then each child's drawings were then printed onto shirts for the kids.  I love this idea and Marlee loves her shirt!  I love Marlee's drawing...her cute bow is so adorable to me!  Southern girls know they like to wear their bows at all times!

Our most precious blessings :)
