Kelley Easter

April 20, 2014

Kelley Easter was a hit again this year.  It was warm enough (kind of) to let the kids swim at Grandma and Pawpaw's pool.  Then they raced around the yard collecting eggs filled with goodies.  All eight of them were happy to find goodies and money inside the eggs.





Sawyer's Birthday

April 19, 2014

Disney's Frozen was the theme of Sawyer's 4th Birthday  Party.  Amanda did a great job on all the decorations .  She worked really hard to get everything to coincide with the movie.  The biggest part of the party was the appearance of the sisters, Elsa and Anna.  The kids loved interacting and playing with them.  Elsa and Anna did a great job reading, painting faces, dancing, and talking to the kids.  Sawyer was adorable with her excitement about her party.  She has waited for months for them to come to her house.  I think they lived up to all her expectations.  Little girls are so much FUN!









K&T's Birthday

April 19. 2014

Our niece Kayla and nephew Tristan chose to have a day at the zoo for their birthdays.  It's hard to believe they are 9 and 11 this year.  



Parsons Easter

April 19, 2014

Parsons Easter this year consisted of two days of family fun.  We spent the day at Dragonfly Farm with all the Big Parsons Bunch.  It was a day of running around of the farm.  Mary Kate and Charlotte loved riding the power wheel.  Max took his friend Baylor and they spend the day shooting guns with Jay and all the guys.  Big Daddy and Uncle Tony oversaw all the activities from the gator as they rode around the farm.  




Our second day of festivities was at Bebe and Big Daddy's house for lunch and an egg hunt.  The kids were thrilled to run around the yard collecting the eggs filled with money.  Of course, Uncle Jon won with collecting the most money in his allotted twelve eggs.








House Disaster

April 7, 2014

We came back from the beach on Sunday and I had taken Monday off work to get everything unpacked and straightened.  My day turned out very differently.  As I walked down the hall that morning I stepped in water.  I took another step and hit water.  I first reflex was to yell at Molly our dog.  Next I looked at my feet and saw the wet stream coming from the living room.  As I rounded the corner I was the culprit.  Our 150 gallon fish tank had popped a line off the filter and emptied into our floor.  I immediately grapped the phone and told Jay to come quick and bring lots of equipment.  I so glad he works at Servpro because we were facing a water damage of our very own.  The next several weeks turned out to be a mess.  We had to rip up all our carpet, tear out the bottom half of the wall that the aquarium was against, remove and replace insulation, and various other things.  It was not fun to live through, but the result was the upgrades that we have been planning to do. I love the outcome of the disaster, but it was a real pain and stressor to live through for three weeks as we prepared for our first Disney trip.
