Family Date Night

Cooper was scheduled to have his first soccer practice of the spring session tonight, but the weather had other plans.  So, we made other plans too ~ we went out to dinner...on a Thursday!

Cooper loves corn on the cob!

Family Fun Night 2015

Tonight was Family Fun Night at Reagan's school.  Greg was in Pittsburgh, PA, and Cooper didn't think he'd have too much fun, so it was just the girls tonight!  Reagan played games and did crafts for a few hours.

The Show Must Go On!

After another snow/ice fall overnight, we finally made it out of the house...to go to the circus!  Kim & Byrd gave the kids circus tickets for Christmas and they were super-excited to go today!  We were lucky, the shows yesterday and the 1st show this morning were cancelled due to the weather.

on our way!

Family Fun Day and Night

This was our last Saturday without anything scheduled, so we decided to make the most of it!  We ate a late breakfast at a local restaurant, Tupelo Honey, and then hit up the farmer's market downtown.  

the kids had fun playing with some of the goods for sale

 Next, we enjoyed a movie - the boys saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, while the girls watched Island of Lemurs in 3D

 We then went shopping for Greg some new clothes for his new job!! Then, we met Kim and Byrd for dinner at our favorite mexican restaurant (no pictures~it was waay too dark in there!).  As if our bellies weren't full enough, we tested out a new (to us) ice cream shop in town.  Kim, Byrd and I had Krispy Kreme Doughnut ice cream~and it tastes as amazing as it sounds!!

Sadly, our time with Kim & Byrd ended too soon...but, we promised to get together again soon!

Family Day

We're trying to get the most out of summer and out of our season passes to Splash Country!  Since the park only has 3 more weekends left in the season, we decided to go one more time!  The kids had a great time and we rode almost every ride in the park!

someone had too much fun!

 Cooper asked me to take a picture of his cross-eyed face!
