Number 5 in your program, Number 1 in your heart...

Clayton had his first t-ball game. Well, we will call it an exhibition. They had pictures made and then played a one inning game so each player could get a turn at bat. After Clayton's team had a chance to bat they went in the field. His coach put him on the pitcher's mound, along with Clayton's friend Austin. I think he had a really good time. Someone asked us where he got his athletic ability and Fred and I just chuckled and shrugged our shoulders.

Shannon's Birthday Party

Shannon's birthday party was today. Thankfully it was not raining! Clayton and Jack had a really good time!

As you can see, Jack really enjoyed looking at the cake!

Did I say enjoyed looking at the cake? You can see from this picture below that he did a little more than look...notice the "a" in Shannon. Jack and Katelyn mysteriously appeared with icing on their fingers and mouths! The last three parties I have taken Jack to I have found him digging into the cake before the birthday boy or girl cuts into it!! What a mess!!

Best buddies! Clayton was so excited today about the party! Around 9:00 this morning he was running around the house telling us we needed to hurry up and get ready. We were going to be late! I assured him that we had plenty of time. The party wasn't until noon.

Easter 2008

Jack wanted to celebrate Easter this morning with the women that went to the tomb before it was light. He woke up around 5:30. He did go back to sleep until 6:30 and then Clayton got up shortly after. We all sat down for breakfast and Fred read the Easter story. After church Melody and her family, including Aunt Michelle, came over for Easter lunch. What a day! How blessed we are to know we serve a risen Savior! (And how blessed we are to have the freedom to celebrate!)

Springhill Easter Egg Pick Up-2008!

So, we have an Easter Egg "hunt" at church each year after Easter. I will use the word "hunt" loosely since we just have candy in the gym floor. They do section off the gym so that it is fair for all the children. When we entered the gym Clayton was ready. He immediately went to his spot and waited for the go. Jack however, does not remember last year. When he entered the gym he thought he had hit the mother-load! Clayton racked up some eggs. Jack got candy before the thing started as you will see in the video. Hope you enjoy!

Mowing with daddy

Fred had to mow the yard today and Jack went into the backyard to get his mower to help. He did everything Fred did. It was priceless. Maybe by next summer he can start mowing the yard so I won't have to do it again! I'll just have to buy him the right clothes...right dad!?! FYI-The bag was on the mower so Jack was not in danger of flying debris.

Sweet Boys!

I came in from the grocery today and found my little boys sitting in the living room together. It was too sweet. Sorry about Clayton's comment toward the end...boys!!

Beautiful Spring Day!

It started off a little chilly in Paris today, but by 10:00 a.m. it was beautiful!! Clayton and Jack really enjoyed playing outside. I snapped a couple of cute pictures of Jack. Sorry I don't have any of Clayton. He was in the back yard when I was taking these.
