Busy, Busy, Busy!

We have had a busy day, week, oh I should just say month. I need to catch up on blogging but it seems like time is thin these days. I have to back up so I think I will start back toward the beginning of the month. April 8.
Peyton turned 13...This completely does not seem possible that I am an aunt to a teenager. I officially feel old. I can only imagine how Heather feels. Sorry Heather. Anyway. Colton had a baseball game on his actual birthday so afterwards everyone came over to our house for a little surprise party.

Sailor is looking a little frightened, I am not sure why?

We continued the celebration the next evening at Cracker Barrel, which is always good.
Last week Sailor made her first Out of State Trip! Mommy had to attend a class in Atlanta and Daddy was able to take a few days off work and so we all went down together. Sailor was such a trooper as always. I feel like I am always saying that but she truly is. She and daddy got to spend some quality bonding time together in the Hotel for 2 days. We did have a really good time.

If you can't read her shirt it says "My 1st Braves Tee"
Colton has been the Yankees in little league every year except this year and now he is the Braves. Sailor doesn't have to wear her Yankees jersey to the game anymore while cheering for the braves. She also got a Braves bat down in Atlanta to go with her pink glove and pink baseballs.

Sailor continues to love going out in the boat. Joe, Sailor and I went out Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. I did not take anymore pictures but she loves to ride. Daddy got his motor fixed so we could go a little faster than just trolling! I have to take a pic and post of her in her life jacket before and after from last summer. It is just amazing how much she has grown and changed.

Saturday was Mom's birthday and we all went out to celebrate again, this time at Wasabi. We had a great time.

Sorry for the long post, just had some catching up to do!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA!

Sailor has so many special people in her life, especially her Nana. Today is a very special day. It is Nana's Birthday. We truly would not know what to do without her. She and Sailor have already formed an amazing bond. I have always known what a great person she is but I don't think anything tells it like when I see her with her grand kids! She has unconditional love, that is for sure. We don't tell her often enough how much we appreciate her and love her so here is a little note with some pictures attached. WE LOVE YOU NANA, HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Sailor's 1st fishing trip.

Sunday was such a beautiful day we decided to go fishing with daddy. Daddy's motor is in the shop so we knew he could not go too fast with just a trolling motor! Sailor had such a great time. She is just the best thing ever. I was unsure of how she would do being confined to such a small space but she was a trooper. We played, napped, and watched daddy catch a few big ones! Sailor was all decked out in her "Bass Pro Shops" "Reel Girls Fish" shirt. She even took along her own fishing rod. I have to say she caught one quicker than daddy did.

Yummy, I haven't tried fish yet!

Spashin in the Tub!

Sailor loves the water so far! I have to say this little ducky tub is great. Thanks Tara. It is so nice to get advice and gifts from experienced moms. We have so much fun at bath time. We have so much fun all the time! This tub is just the right size to contain my little wild child while she is splashing around.

We are so blessed!

We had a wonderful Easter. It was great to see the enormous turn out at Church, nearly standing room only. It was a wonderful message. Joe and I just look at Sailor and wonder how anyone could not believe. It is sometimes hard to understand God's love and how much he loves each and every one of us and how wonderful and huge his sacrifice was. We took a few quick pictures so Sailor could remember her 1st Easter Dress. It was actually one of mine when I was little. Mom saved a closet full!

The Easter Bunny came to see Sailor!

Sailor got a surprise from the Easter Bunny before getting ready for church. Joe and I are just happy that we don't have to force the sports issue. It seems the Easter Bunny has got it covered with pink baseballs and a pink basketball in her basket along with a "Jesus loves me" bib, some bunny eggs and a beautiful flower.

Look mom and dad, I can already dribble!

Sailor met the Easter Bunny!

Joe, Sailor and I ventured off Saturday night to meet the Easter Bunny. Nothing like waiting till the last minute. We got to the mall at 7:45p.m. They closed at 8:00p.m. After waiting in line it was 8:05 and they ran out of photo paper with the kid right in front of us. They said sorry we can't sell anymore packages. I said well can I just sit her in his lap really quick and snap a few with my camera? They actually had to go ask their supervisor but eventually said o.k. I am sure the bunny was none to happy considering his shift ended about 10 minutes previously but at least you could not tell if he was smiling or not unlike our experience with Santa! Anyway I was just as happy because those package "deals" are expensive and I think my camera did just fine. I even got several poses.

O.K. mom enough already lets get outta here!
