Jack's First Easter

Okay, so somehow this is the only picture that I managed to get of us on Easter.  What kind of mother doesn't even make a picture of her only child is his first Easter outfit?  It's the kind that runs around like a chicken without a head on Sunday mornings just trying to get to church on time.  This picture was made after church.  I am angry with myself as I'm typing this because it's such a blah picture.  Jack and I had already been through wrestlemania during church and it shows. But, I'm sure that years from now I won't care and I'll just be saying, "Look how young we look!" :) 

Thankfully, I made a bazillion pictures the day before at the Oliver family Easter egg hunt/Grandmother's 80th birthday party.  What a great day to visit with family and celebrate Grandmother's birthday!  The pictures say it best.  Remember, I made a bazillion. So even though I'm posting a million, it's still only a small fraction!

My favorite ladies...

I love this picture because it looks like he's really hunting!!

Why do you keep making sooo many pictures???

Who cares about the eggs!  I'll take the bucket!

All the "greats", we tried several times!

I LOVE this picture of Brannon showing Grandmother his cool face!

All of the grandkids (except for Lance) with Pop and Grandmother.

Happy Birthday Grandmother!!!

M&M Time

Last Thursday, as soon as I got out of school, we headed to the Magic City with Granna and Grandpa.  The purpose of this trip was for some M&M time.  I don't mean the chocolate kind, I'm talking about Mackey & Maggee.  Mackey is my cousin's beautiful baby girl born on March 31.  She weighed 9 lbs. 3 oz. and she has a head full of beautiful black hair.  Mackey is Jack's third cousin and we can't wait until they can play together.  Mackey made a very dramatic entrance into this world and gave her family a huge scare.  She stopped breathing during birth, but thankfully everything turned out okay!

Me, trying to fight off the baby fever!

She was born at St. Vincent's, the same hospital where Jack was born.  Memories came rushing back to that precious time and I suddenly became aware of how much time has passed.  It's been almost a year!  I can't believe that MY newborn is almost a year old! What a blessing this past year has been.  I hope that Andrew and Coby enjoy this next year because IT WILL FLY BY!

The second part of our trip was to visit Jack's favorite Aunt Maggee (formerly known as my sister.)  Aunt Maggee is in pharmacy school at Samford and we miss her so much!  We went to watch Aunt Maggee get inducted into an honor society.  She works so hard and we were very proud to see her honored!  We had a great time and finished the evening with a delicious meal at Cocina Supreme (not on the weight watchers plan :) ).
