spring break

I always look forward to spring break because that is when we get to see 

some of our Jacksonville family!

The first half of the week we got to spend time with 

Josh's sister and her kids in Asheboro. 

Lynlee loves getting to see her cousins Braden and Laney. 

Lynlee loves taking her wagon 

over to Gran and  Grandaddy's house 

so she can ride around the neighborhood.

All three kids wanted to ride

 so Laney and Lynlee got in on one side. 

They weren't too happy to be so close at first :) 

They finally got comfortable!

Soon to be Best Buds!

The second part of the week we spent time 

with my parents and my sister Katy. 

Can't believe this was Aunt Katy's last high school spring break!!

Lynlee and I love when Papa and Granma come to NC.

We don't have to share them with 4 other cousins :)

We get them all to ourselves !!

10th Annual Walk-A-Thon

Union Grove Christian School had their annual Walk-a-thon on April 5th to raise money for the school and this was Lynlee's first time going. She absolutely loved it! She got to play on the playground and even got her face painted like a kittycat.

Lynlee's first Easter egg hunt party

Our Homebuilder's 

Sunday School Class

 had their annual Easter Egg Hunt Party this past Saturday!

Lynlee was still too small to participate in hunting for the eggs so Josh pulled Lynlee and her friends Peyon Tilley and Levi Clonch around in her wagon so they could watch the kids play and hunt for the eggs. 

They LOVED it and so did us parents!!

Happy 9 months

Lynlee turned 9 months this past Monday . I haven't done a video since Christmas so I thought I would do one that documented her last few months . I am especially excited to share this video cause you get a chance to witness some new milestones for Lynlee. She learned how to crawl, pull up, and feed herself this past month. Oh how she is getting sooo big!!!Hope you enjoy!

Lynlee Crawling for 1st Time!

Duke/ Carolina Night at the Grove

Every year at the Grove we have a Duke vs Carolina Night and this year Lynlee wanted to get involved (ok, she had no choice). I was so excited to dress her up and I do believe she was GOOD LUCK for DUKE cause they WON 85-84!

The Tutu was given to Lynlee by Kacey Byrd (she made it for her daughter Kori). 

I needed some accessories to go with it so I made the necklace from an idea I found off of Pinterest (of course) and tweaked it a little bit. Then I made the hair bow out of tulle and a button Granddaddy had gotten Lynlee before she was born.

Lynlee's First Valentines

I know having a valentine means something different to each person. It as even meant something different to me throughout the years. 

 The one thing I remember about EVERY Valentine's Day growing up is the card that my dad gave each of us every year. He would hand pick them for each of us kids and my mom. It wasn't extravagant or expensive but it meant the world to me. That is how I want Lynlee to remember this day. 

We started the celebration a little early this year thanks to Josh. Monday evening Lynlee and I came home from FL to find a little scavenger hunt in the house with two recorded Valentines from our Valentine! It was so sweet!!! 

Lynlee's favorite toys right now are her stuffed animals. 

So daddy knew the way to Lynlee's heart!

Unfortunately Lynlee spent her first Valentine's day at the doctor 

getting a flew shot :( 

Since she did so good we rewarded her with a trip to 

Krispy Kreme! 

We then went to lunch at 

Firehouse subs (mommy and daddy's favorite). 

We then had to drop daddy back at the office where he was getting our surprise for him!!! 

Took these pics wile we were in FL and 

I put them in a collage frame for daddy. 

Lynlee is wearing the outfit Josh got for her last Valentines day! 

He loved it!
