April Happenings

Another month of fun in the books!  Dance parties with friends...
Movies with friends...
More kite flying...
Lots and lots of rain!  Our golf course flooded as did parts of the town...

Loving play dough...
Loving Mommy's hair ;)  But this was taken before a BBQ at our neighbor's house.  Which ended up being super fun.  He used to drive Dodge Vipers professionally so he had a bunch of crazy car people over.  Lots and lots of stories!
Piggyback rides for his friend Harper...
Painting at the Amazeum...
Couch people...
Library time...
Ear infection for Trevor....
Warm weather and swings....
Buddy hugs....
Dairy Queen with friends...

Toby's favorite person, Ashley...
Dance recital costumes came in.  Ashley must have had a growth spurt since the time they measured. Hers is a bit short...
New ATA karate belts for both kids!


Daddy and Trevor attended a Rogers HS soccer game.  Love the South, where they pray before the game..
Face timing with Sara's great Aunt Alice!
Ashley is very into coloring!
#1 fan right here...
Exploring the town square on a nice day.  Dab...
Shopping with the cutest little Walmart carts...
Practicing tennis in the driveway...
Another ear ache....probably time for another set of tubes.  Make that the third set...
But it did get him a day home with Momma to work on his 'robot' - he wanted it to match the little troll doll!
Eating at our new favorite restaurant - Buttered Biscuit - $5 all you can eat pancakes on the patio.  Pretty sure they don't make money on us...
Spring party at Ashley's school...
Loving tennis...
Family bowling fun...

Easter Weekend/Mommy has a Staph Infection :(

Mommy had been dealing with a localized infection all week and by Friday it got so bad that she ended up at Urgent Care where they had to do a super painful lancing and draining of the infected area.  Worst pain of her life and she's obviously had 2 kids with 2 c-sections.  Owie!!!!!  They ran lab work on it and found out that Mommy had a staph infection with strep-A (flesh eating bacteria) and was super close to being septic so they loaded her up with antibiotic shots and oral antibiotics and told her to do nothing but rest until she came back on Sunday to have the wound unpacked.  Easter Sunday.  So Mommy missed all the fun Easter festivities but the kids were in excellent hands with Fun Daddy!  On Friday night they sent Mommy a selfie as they were going to bed:
On Saturday they went to our club for the Easter Egg Hunt:




On Sunday they got dressed up and found their Easter baskets and some Easter eggs hidden around the house.  


Then they went to church and came back to enjoy a wonderful brunch that Daddy made!


Definitely an Easter we will remember for a long, long time.  Thankful for our Heavenly Father for watching over Sara.  Praying she heals quickly.  She has to go to Wound Care to finish her care but she should be ok!  Whew!

Kids Start Tennis in AR!

Considering we live in a country club with tennis courts a quick golf cart ride down the road, it was time to enroll the kids in tennis!  Trevor took it in Arizona but Ashley was beyond excited to get started.   Especially when she picked out a pink and purple racket at the clubhouse!
She certainly looked the part on her first day!
She did pretty well for her first time!  Coach Jonathan has a lot of patience!
It came right back to Trevor, Coach JT was impressed!
