Grandparents & Celebrations

This Thursday Kylee got another visit from special grandparents!!! Grandma & Grandpa Goins came to visit us on Thursday! We had a great visit from Thursday - Saturday evening with them! Kylee enjoyed spending time getting another set of grandparents wrapped around her finger. Kylee enjoyed showing them all her new tricks and words. Kylee also showed Grandma & Grandpa her and Mommy's FAVORITE song! This song can just begin to start playing and Kylee starts dancing and going CRAZY jamming over it. I guess because Mommy plays it so much she has no choice but to like it!!!

Saturday morning we went to Eli's 2nd birthday party! For the ones of you who don't know who Eli is...Kylee spends every weekday with Eli. Eli is Ms. Stephanie's little boy!! Eli and Kylee are best buds and are always into mischief together! His party was at the local Kids Clubhouse with inflatables. Kylee enjoyed it for the most part long as she could keep her feet on the floor without being bounced around by the bigger kids. She also enjoyed the slide. Here is a video of her sliding and then came down Eli!!

Her and the birthday boy!
I then left to go have lunch with some special friends from college (left to right: me, Vicki, Anna & Crystal) to celebrate an upcoming baby! Vicki is having a baby boy in July so we met to have lunch, shower her with gifts and just to have some girl catch up time! Anna made one awesome pound cake with blue icing...it sure was SOOOO GOOD!!!
Also want to wish a SPECIAL HUSBAND and DADDY HAPPY HAPPY 29th BIRTHDAY on Monday!!!!! You are one AMAZING man, husband, and father!!!! We love you sooooooooooo VERY MUCH and wouldn't have it any other way!!! Thank you for all you do for us!

BIG WEEKEND

This weekend was a BIG weekend! We haven't been to visit our hometown since October so this was a much needed and BUSY trip! Friday we had dinner with Will's Brother, Brian, Amy and our precious nephew Keith who is 3 1/2. Kylee and Keith did so well together. We went and had dinner then went to the park until dark! They were so cute together playing and walking around. Kylee had fun learning to slide, laughing and holding hands walking around the pond with Keith.



We spent Saturday and Sunday with Paw Paw & GiGi. We also had visits from other family members too so there are lots of pics. Kylee had lots of time with Paw Paw, going to see the cows, playing with the dogs, playing with the rocks, sitting on a bucket drawing outside, going to get the newspaper, etc etc. We were very sad to leave today and brought tears to all of our eyes, but it was a great and much needed weekend at home! We will be back SOON!
When we got home Sunday evening I was a little flustered because Kylee just didn't travel well home and I think much of it was to blame on being tired so I was just ready to get her to stuff unloaded and get her a bath & bed. Well, while unpacking Kylee knew how to brighten my evening and make me laugh! She decided to help Mommy unpack and dive in her bag. It was soo cute and wish she would done it on video but only managed to get a pic. Also, just wanted to ask for a special prayer request. Please uplift Renee Cook & Megan Austin in your prayers. They were in a very severe car accident last Sunday evening returning home from a family Easter dinner. Whitney Austin Smith (Renee's daughter & Megan's Sister) was a college sorority sister who I have remained in contact with. Renee & Megan are both still in ICU at CMC in Charlotte. These two ladies need lots of prayers for healing, strength and comfort as well as their family members who are staying at the hospital around the clock to be with them! Also the doctors and nurses wisdom who are also caring for them around the clock and deciding/performing many surgeries. God has already shown and continues to show His face in many ways, but they continue to need constant prayer to get them through this battle they are facing.

P.S. I have more videos to upload from this weekend, but I have sat here since 10:00 trying to upload them, but have only gotten one to finish so I will work on getting them done this week. It is almost midnight now and about to fall over.

Pool Parties & Easter

Thursday evening we took Kylee to see the Easter Bunny. Needless to say Kylee did not like Mr. Bunny! Short and snappy visit on Bunny's lap! The second picture Kylee was waving Bye Bye to Bunny. She was ready to GO!

Friday it was so warm I decided to get out Kylee's pool. I put some warm water in it as well as hose water. Didn't want to make it freezing cold. Thomas came over to play with Kylee in the pool and Tara and I got some sun. I definitely got some sun on my feet and right shoulder!! Still a little red!! Took a little while for Kylee to get adjusted and get into the pool, but she slowly but surely made her way in for short periods of time. Here is a video of Kylee on our way to Rockingham yesterday. Dancing to the Zac Brown Band..



We think the Easter Bunny thought it was Christmas or got a little jelous of Santa's gifts...I think Mr. Bunny liked Target and Dollar Tree!

We spent Easter with Grandmother Smith (Kylee's Great Grandmother), Maw Maw and Papa.
