Springtime is here!!

Well, life is happening right before our very eyes!! We have been busy!  Last time I updated...Justin had won tickets to the rodeo in Ward. So, we debated all Friday if we were going or not because it was supposed to rain that night. We finally decided to go and it worked out good. Meg, Aaron, and Warren went with us. It drizzled rain the majority of the time but we never got wet. It was crazy!! Evan loved the bulls. Since we were on the front row, Bryan called out Emma & Evan. So the other clown came over to talk to them and that was it for Emma. She stayed with Janice at the gate the rest of the night. I'm not a fan of dressed up people either, so I didn't blame her.  Abbey took Evan back to see the bulls and he came back just in time to see Warren ride the mechanical bull.  We tried to get Evan to ride because all he has talked about was riding a horse...but he wouldn't even attempt it. I also tried to convince Justin to ride but no such luck. Here are a few pictures from our night!

This picture makes my sweeties look so grown!!

No one would look at the camera at the same time!

These two boys watching the bulls!

My sweet girl before the clown scared her!!

Saturday, Evan's ball game was cancelled due to rain. So, Emma and I met Kayla and Lillianna at Chick-Fil-A for a princess party.  She loved the princesses and getting dressed up but she HATED the cow.  I almost wished I hadn't ever told her the cow was behind her but I think it would have been worse for her to see it on her own! Again...she doesn't like anything dressed up. We had a fun time getting the girls together though.

All dressed up ready to go!

Emma & me with two of the princesses.  She wouldn't stand with them by herself!

And of course...we had ice cream!!

While we were there...Justin took Evan out for lunch and to Connie Maxwell to see the animals.  He loved it!!  On to this past weekend. We planned to go to the zoo during spring break and that didn't happen. We planned to go the following Friday and Justin's grandmas funeral was that day...so we finally got to go this past Friday. The weather was perfect and although there were a lot of school kids there...it was a great day! Here are a couple pictures of our trip!

Packed and ready for the Zoo!!

Alison, Reid, & momma went with us!!  It was Reid's first trip and he was a perfect little angel the whole time!!

All the picnic tables were full with school kids...we we just had a picnic in the trunk!  Reid even sat back there with the big kids and thought he was something big!!  They are going to be so close with Reid & Laney!!

My sweet girl!!  I have to include what she told my mom while we were at the zoo.  We were looking at the tigers and she informed my mom that the tiger was a cheetah.  My mom told her no that was a tiger.  She again insisted it was a cheetah.  And my mom told her no it was a tiger.  She replied MaMa...it may look like a tiger but it is really a cheetah!  There is no point to argue with her little hard head!! It did make us smile though.  

Reid wasn't sure about this gorilla!!  

And my big boy!!  He loved it all!!

And we rode the carousel there before we left.  Reid even loved it.  He grinned the whole time!!

And then...this Saturday, Evan's game was cancelled again due to rain! So, we met Lauren & Colby for lunch at Chick-Fil-A and headed to the movies! We had to ride the carousel first though! Lauren took a picture because Evan & Colby were on the same horse but she forgot to send it to me.  Emily, Lauren's niece, was at the mall with her brother while we were there and she wanted to ride too.  So, since there are only three horses on the carousel...we had to make do and Colby wanted to ride with Evan instead of with Emily.  So, if she ever sends it...I will have to post it!  We saw the movie "Home". It was good! Emma did great for her first trip to the movies.  They all had a good time I think. Saturday night we kept Laney for Katie & Matt while they were went to the Dancing with the Stars function in Greenwood.  We had so much fun with her!!  She loves Emma and Emma loves her!!  I can't believe that sweet baby will be one soon!!  That makes aunt Marcie a little sad!! These last two pictures don't have anything to do with anything but I had to share them.  One afternoon this week Justin cut our grass.  While he was cutting E&E went and got on their cars.  After Justin was finished they all raced around the yard.  Don't worry...Justin had the blades off.

And this picture of Emma makes me smile.  She can in our room like this one afternoon pretending to write a prescription on her pad from her doctor's kit.  This is where the glasses came from too.

She may just be a doctor one day!! :)  Oh the fun we have with these two!!
