Egg Hunts

The kids got to attend 3 egg hunts this year. Jenna is a pro at them now...

The first one was at the armory. They hid about 600 eggs and there were about 12 kids there so they all got tons of eggs and candy! We ate after the egg hunt and decorate cupcakes. It was such a fun way to start off Spring!

The second egg hunt was the DZT egg hunt at Lee. I forgot my camera!! But someone e-mailed us this picture of Carson. The Easter bunny was there. Jenna isn't fond of those kind of things but Lindsey convinced her to give him a high five. That's a big step for us. :)

The last one was an egg hunt at the church property. Jenna got lots of eggs and prizes. We all rode on a hay ride and Jenna jumped in the jump twice. After that we went to my Grandmother's house for Easter Supper. We were so happy to be able to eat on the back porch. It is so nice out there! We look lots of pics but the only one I got on my camera was everyone torturing my sweet boy with "Annie".

Happy Spring!

Spring Break!

Lindsey, the kids and I went down to Orange Beach for Spring Break. We stayed at my aunt's condo with my cuz all week long. We had a blast. This was Carson's first time at the beach and he really loved it. The water was freezing but luckily we had an indoor pool to go to.

We also went on a dolphin cruise and we really enjoyed it. I don't have the pictures on this computer so I will have to update later.

Diamonds are forever

Matt got me a new ring!!!!!! I LOVE IT! Thanks babe. :)

So I'm late again....oh well! Here they are. :)

Home Sweet Home

Matt completely surprised me and came home!!! He showed up at our hotel in Jacksonville to walk the Breast Cancer Half Marathon with us. I was shocked that he was there. You won't believe what happened...I got a stomach virus and was throwing up all night long the first night he was home. Yep, that's right...I haven't been sick since he left in July and the night he comes home it hits me. (EVERYONE in our family got it within the 2 weeks he was home, except Carson and Pam.) But I was able to walk the marathon and we made the exact time that I wanted. 3 hours 15 minutes. I was so happy he was there with me. He pushed me to make my time goal and I did it!! (That's us in the blue Team Taylor shirts.)

After we got home, I got bronchitis and Carson got the flu. It wasn't what we had planned for Matt's time home at all but we all got to spend lots of time together at home, even if we were all sickly.

We did take Jenna to the Creative Discovery Museum one day. She loves that place!

And it snowed while he was home so Matt and Jenna played in the snow.

Matt also took me to get my first tattoo. It says Love in Arabic. :)

The night before he had to report in Atlanta to go back to Iraq, Matt and I went down to Atlanta to stay the night. We went to the Coke Museum and the GA Aquarium. (I forgot my camera!!!) I was so sad to see him go back but we are getting closer to this deployment being over and I can't wait!!!!
