spring break 2017

We stayed home this year for spring break, but it was probably one of our best spring breaks, ever. We started the first weekend off by going to Rebounderz with some friends. The boys LOVED it, and cant wait to go back.
 
We celebrated Wesleigh's birthday at the hotel with some dinner and swimming and Evelyn finally got to get her hands on her new buddy Crew. She was just too excited!
The kids had a fun day Monday climbing Mt. Pisgah with Auntie Sarah and friends, before they headed up north with Nana and Papa.
Brandon and i enjoyed a couple kidless days and nights together, before I headed up Wednesday. What a refreshing time with my husband, but man I sure missed my babies.
Our days up north were spent riding on quads, in the ranger and working with Papa at the campground...and clearly not getting to bed early enough. ;)
 
Evie has to ride the "big" quads, too, but the rides are even better with her best Papa.
Ready to head to the track! (dont worry, Evie rode with Dad)
Heading home after a fun day of riding...time to pack up and head back to reality.
We found our time together to be so refreshing, for all of us and we can't wait to get back up north again soon! On Monday on the way to school, Harrison prayed "Dear God, please help me skip school soon so I can go back up north because everything up north is way better than here!"
Hard to dispute that one, Bud!

march recap

March seemed to go pretty fast for us, but we stayed busy! The boys helped Noah celebrate another birthday with some bowling and arcade games!
I was able to spend an afternoon celebrating my dear friend Haleigh and her babe! I just love these women so much and thank God we get to do life together!!
We entered the "mine do it" stage, if you cant tell by her outfit!
Shortly after returning home from our trip, all 3 kids came down with influenza. High fevers, body aches...the whole bit. The boys were out of school for a whole week, but we sure enjoyed snuggling together, especially since I had just been gone.
Towards the end of starting to feel better, we took advantage of a nice sunny day and hit the park. The fresh air felt so good!
 
We spent a saturday with Casey doing wedding stuff, and had our first Chick-Fil-A experience. The food and service was amazing and we got to meet the Cow...what you cant see here is evelyn so terrified she is shaking!
We spent most of the rest of our week nights and weekends like this - just relaxing! 
The end of the month brought the start of spring break, so the boys got their toys ready for our big trip up north!
