First Gymnastics Class

Lauren started gymnastics and absolutely loves it. She can't wait for her next class.


During her first class, she partially listened to the teacher and would move ahead instead of waiting on the little girls.






















She may be ready for the Olympics before to long.











She was walking across the balance beam trying to get her teacher's attention to 'LOOK'!

Easter

FOUR DAYS OF FUN!

Thursday:
Mamaw has had Easter tea parties with her grandkids for about 14 years. This year it was Lauren's turn. Mamaw set the table and we all had to wear bunny ears and glasses.

The things we do for our kids.

Lauren loves chocolate chip cookies. I have no idea what that is on her shirt though!

Life with Mamaw is always a surprise!

Friday:

Lauren didn't have school on Good Friday, so we went to Mamaw's house to dye Easter Eggs for the weekend. Uncle Buck was there and he helped Lauren dye 5 dozen eggs. It's a good thing Mom and Dad changed their floors to hard wood - look at all that colored water in the cups.

Saturday:

Another great day. Lauren and I cleaned house (well I actually cleaned up the house and after her, but she was helping) and got ready to go to Nana and Papa's house to play with Tate, Cullen and Cade. Lauren loves playing with her cousins.

Will load the pictures soon.

Spending the Night at Uncle Bucks

Lauren has been wanted to spend the night at Uncle Buck and Aunt Satcey's house so she can play with all the animals. We drove up to Dayton on Saturday and Lauren got to play with all the animals and have a bonfire - she loves smores! She also had to track down each animal and hold it as long as it would sit there.

This chicken is like a dog, it stays near us and doesn't care how long Lauren wants to hold it.

This is Boots, she is the cutest little pygmie goat.

Lauren and Allen were digging for worms to feed the chicken. This chicken was driving Joker, the dog, crazy. Joker wanted the chicken to be with all the other chickens. He stalked that poor chicken.

Sunday:

We got up on Sunday to a huge breakfast, Newton and Stacey made eggs (of course), biscuits, gravy and pork loin. YUMMY!

Poor Lauren was not feeling good and just layed around. We sat outside in the warm sun and just watched the funny little animals.

Gizmo and Cry Baby taking a nap!

Joker - doing his job!

No Comment!

Cute little Boots!

Now this is cool, these chickens are supposed to lay pastel eggs! Can't wait to see that.

Camping at Fall Creek Falls

Thursday:
What a great weekend, Lauren and I went camping with Papaw and Mamaw. We left on Thursday and took the campers up to Fall Creek Falls for four days of playing, fishing and eating. I think we wore more dirt than was on the ground - Lauren seemed to blend in with ground.
Lauren helped Papaw work to get the camp ground ready, and of course that means, playing in the old fire ashes.




Friday:

Lauren loves her Mamaw and you can see why, they both love to act goofy! The guys played golf on Firday so the ladies got to view the sites at the park. Fall Creek Falls is such a beautiful place. We have camping there for the past 15 years and there is always something new to see or even going to see the same sites is always a treat.

Saturday:

Lauren was so excited, in the mornings she would wake up at 6:30 (yeah for me) and want to make sure everyone else was awake too. She would put her boots on, walk over to Mamaw and Papaws camper and growl like a bear - thinking she would scare them. Of course, she gets that from her Papaw who scraches on our camper and growls like a bear. Monkey see, Monkey do!

After breakfast and a quick play on the playground, Papaw took us fishing. Lauren was more interested in digging for worms that waiting on a fishing line to sink, but she loved it when she got to real a fish in. I don't know where whe gets it, but loves to play with bugs and fish - YUK!
