Spring Break 2~ Beaufort

We went to Beaufort to visit Nana and Gran dad over spring break. We did our usual things in town. Favorite candy store, restaurants, parks and the beach. The weather was amazing and it was so good to see Nana. It had been a while!

Spring Break Part 1~ Blood Mountain

During Spring Break we took the boys overnight to a little cabin in Blood Mountain. We have stayed there before and we really like that the cabins sit on a small creek. The boys like to walk in the creek and build "make believe houses".

The following day Mason took the boys 4 Wheeling and you can imagine how much fun they had!

Easter

We celebrated Easter at home this year. We went to church then headed over to the Pangle's house for Sunday lunch and an Easter egg hunt.  The boys love hanging out with their cousins and taking care of Foster. Thanks for hosting Sunday lunch Ellen!

John Lawrence~March 27th~9 years old

John Lawrence turned 9 years old on March 27th. We started the day with waffles with candles and then school (I brought cupcakes for the class). After school he went to his friend Dyan's house and then Mason picked him up and they went and had dinner. He said he had a good day and birthday!


Here are 9 things we don't want to forget about John Lawrence at this age.

1. He loves his friends like a teenager does.

2. He loves lacrosse this season and scored his first goal!

3. He loves Beef Jerky, Plain noodles and Japanese shrimp and rice.

4. His best friend is Dylan and they spend the night together almost every weekend.

5. He has come so far this year in reading and his confidence has soared! 

6. He loves to play Minecraft.

7. He loves to watch Minecraft videos on the ipad.

8. He and his dad are like two peas in a pod. They love to watch the same tv shows and he always prefers Mason to toss the ball with him.

9. He is still the sweetest boy his dad and I know. He has the sweetest heart and is always willing to help out and take care of others.

We love you so much John Lawrence! Thanks for making your Daddy and I~ parents.

JL's 9th Birthday Party~Skate Country

JL decided to have his 9th birthday this year at Skate Country. He and his friends love to go to Skate Country for school skate night, so it seemed like a great place for a birthday party. The kids loved it and it was very easy for Mason and I as well. JL invited his cousins, a few friends and some class mates.
