March Madness & More

Yes, we had more than our fair share of bracketology and March Madness in our household, and so glad it's come and gone. (although sad to see the Lady Vols go down the way they did, and we just won't talk about the Men)
We did enjoy a fabulous Spring Break in Gatlinburg at the Westgate Resorts. We celebrated with my parents in going to the Dixie Stampede, Zip-lining, MagiQuest, Go-Karts, and more.....It was a fun-filled week with lots of things to do...Oh, including the water park onsite.

Part of our room at the Westgate Resorts- it was so high up and overlooked downtown Gatlinburg, so pretty at night. We played lots of games of Hearts and other card games at that table.

The girls with one of the Southern Belles of the Dixie Stampede. It was a little windy...

Ready to go to the Zip Lines. The kids did great and Anna was the only one that had to tandem. I was so proud of them and it will be a repeat activity next time.

Sweet Sisters!!!

We had a night full of laughs at Dick's Last Resort...they try to make it kid friendly.

Zachary was also playing JV baseball at his middle school. (Although he didn't get to play many games because of rain, rain, & more rain) Maybe next year it will be drier :) He played outfield & got a hit his first at bat. I was just glad he swung and that the first game jitters didn't overcome him.

Fun Filled February

For the past 2 months, we have had jam packed Saturdays of basketball. We have the routine down by now. Olivia's game(s), Zacharys game, RAFAELS for pizza, and then Jared's game(s). For eight weeks I have been doing this with the help of my parents and friends while Mickey is running the elementary basketball league at church. I know, I signed up for it~ call me crazy! But I want the kids to stay active and involved. Anna is along for the ride cheering, playing her DSi, or dancing..whatever she prefers. We have had 2 Saturdays with 5 games. Exhausting!

Olivia playing some "D"fense! She rocked it against the big girl.

Anna rocking it out to some Miley Cyrus.

And then Valentines. Anna had a great time filling out her Valentines for her class at school and at church. She did very good for the first time, we were proud. When the kids got home from school on Valentines day, I had made some heart shaped pizzas, cherry almond mousse cups for dessert and some red party punch. The table was decorated in red and pink, and they were really excited.
