The Rest of March

Okay so since March has pretty much been non-existent, I'll finish up this post with the remainder of March for us. Above is a picture of me and my sister-in-laws. I am usually the tallest girl in the bunch (see below), but these good lookin' gals have me by a good inch or two.

Me and some of the finest people I know at the church annual Easter Egg Hunt.

KARSON

We finally wiggled Karson's tooth out (3 days post dentist assignment). I promised to take her to Build A Bear in Nashville if we got it out (which was obviously a one-time offer). SO, I had to make good on my deal and took her on Sunday afternoon in a monsoon of a rainstorm. Opry Mills is the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. We did some shopping, ate some Marble Slab and rode in a synagogue. Yeah, you heard it right or at least according to Karson. We actually rode in a simulator--Mars Attack roller coaster. When we got off, Karson said, "Mom, I bet Elizabeth would love to ride in that synagogue."

Karson attended a softball clinic at Total Fitness connection to help her improve her skillz. I imagine with a team name like The Diva's, they will need plenty of help =). Cousin Elizabeth also attended. She will be playing this spring.

The kids enjoyed dying Easter eggs last week. Picking out a Paas box is no easy task. There are at least a billion options these days. We decided on Monsters and Glitter eggs this round. I gave each of the kids FOUR eggs to dye and decorate.

Here is Karson and her finished product.

Here is Isaac and his finished product.

Here is Miles and where his finished product ended up. He's not the gentlest with hard boiled eggs.

ISAAC

Isaac had his 5 year physical from Dr. Chris and is now ready to be enrolled in Kindergarten at Plano. It's amazing all the things that have to be done prior to registering. Isaac's always been a character. Here lately, every time I turn around I am finding clues in my drawers. Isaac got an iCarly toy from McDonald's complete with post it notes (heaven for him).

MILES

I feel like I have a newborn in my house these days. I'm not sure if it's the time change, allergy season or WHAT, but Miles is getting up in the wee hours of the morning nightly. It's short lived but enough to keep me and Matt from going back to sleep. His cry is just piercing and he usually requires assistance such as his blanket is missing, his water is empty, he can't find Isaac, he needs medicine, he has to pee, etc. I'm about to lose my mind. I've completely forgotten what sleep deprivation is like. Aside from the early morning interruptions, Miles is enjoying this springy time weather. He's an outdoors man. And, lately, he's learned how to ride his bike. I bet he clocked 4 hours today.

We got to spend some quality (pre-baby) time with our friends Josh and Sarah Owens eating out at El Mazatlan and then heading over to GiGi's cupcakes for a sweet treat. The Owens's welcomed their new addition Riley Jane to their family of 3 on March 23rd.

Karson and friends at the Pogue annual Easter egg hunt. I will post more about our Easter festivities in April.

My dad and I celebrated birthdays this month.

Paul, Shannon and Mom threw us a party complete with homeade pizza and a cake from Riley's bakery. It was a wonderful evening until UK blew it and made everyone BLUE. I could seriously careless about college basketball (is that okay to say since I live in Wildcat country?). I prefer to watch high school basketball. It's much more exciting in my opinion.

Colvin and Debbie threw me a party also complete with Domino's pizza and a homeade strawberry cake. Pizza and cake two days in a row--does life get any better than that???
