Mary Olivia, the birthday girl!

Ruby got her face painted too!
The kids all painted tiles and put their hand print on it that will be made into a prince or a princess. I will post pictures when I get them back.
Bennett painting his tile.
Parker painting her tile.

Bennett got his face painted too! He sat so still, I was in shock!

I don't have the picture but Mary Lesa got a great shot of Bennett looking cross-eyed when she was painting the horns below. I will post as soon as I can! Isn't he adorable!?
Not sure what he is really????

Saturday, we went to a Mary Olivia's 3rd birthday at Artrageous in Greenwood. It is a great little place where you can paint your own pottery. We hadn't been there before and we had a wonderful time. The owner is a fabulous face painter and of course Parker picked the cat face. You've never seen her sit so still!







Some more pictures from our great day in Starkville! Bennett and his daddy on their way to the stadium for the Maroon & White game.

Mom and Michael enjoying the day.
Parker and Bennett helping Taylor open his gifts...not so sure how much help they were.
Clif & Uncle Michael
Bennett loved the tailgate golf game....it kept him busy for quite a while!
Yes, Langely went with us and she was a complete angel. She played and sat in the stroller and entertained everyone. No napping took place but you would have never known it. She was a doll!

This past Saturday we headed to Starkville to celebrate Taylor's 3rd birthday and enjoy MSU Super Bulldog weekend. It was beautiful weather and we had a wonderful time. Below Clif and Bennett were headed off to the Maroon & White football game. Parker went along to the game too and had a great time!

Bennett and the birthday boy.
Parker loved the cake icing.
This was a cute picture of the children getting ready to go to MSU!
Just a cute picture of Lulu sleeping. I realized that I had lots of other pictures of the other children sleeping so I needed at least one of her.

We were all home on Good Friday and the weather was nice so we decided to go for a walk. Parker didn't understand at first that I only had room for two and that she was going to have to walk with me. She kept telling me that I had to hold Lulu and she would ride with Bennett. She finally decided that she would walk with me and take turns riding with Bennett. Thank you Parker!

Around lunch time, we decided to surprise Coco and head down to Natchez as soon as Clif could make it home. So we got on the road around 3 and happily surprised Coco and Poppa at dinner time! The weather was perfect for our Easter weekend in Natchez. This is only the 2nd time I haven't had to wear a sweater at Easter since I've lived in Mississippi. It was so warm that Parker decided she needed to swim. She not only swam in this little pool but the big pool as well (I just don't have any pictures). She has become quite the poser, hasn't she?
Happy Easter everyone! Before we all headed to mass, we made sure to look for the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid. Since the backyard is entirely concrete the Easter Bunny had to be quite clever to outwit these smart children! What was so cute is that they first went to the fridge to see if the Easter Bunny got the eggs that they had dyed the day before....and they were gone!
I tried many times to get a cute picture like last year but this is the best that I could get! Bennett wouldn't keep his ears on and all they wanted to do was devour the jelly beans in their eggs.
And Lulu just entertained herself chewing on her toys. She is a joy to be around and look at that adorable crease in her leg!!!
