We spent the weekend back and forth between Enterprise and Dothan. Heather, Wes's cousin, is expecting a baby in July and we helped give her a shower at Ms. Linda's on Saturday morning. You'll remember her from a previous post here. Heather is the most GENEROUS person I've ever met. She got some really cute stuff and it was nice to do for her although she still managed to bring us gifts, provide the napkins, plates, punch and serving trays for HER OWN shower. I mailed the invitations, but instead of her sending me a list of people to invite she sent the addressed labels so all I had to do was peel and stick. PLUS she brought Caleb a new swimsuit. She's unbelievable! We can't wait to meet little Harris! He will be a very well taken care of and loved little boy!

We were back and forth because precious Eli was dedicated on Sunday morning. Ashley cooked a BIG meal for Walker's family, Mama and Daddy and us, and we were able to celebrate Mother's Day together! The food and fellowship were wonderful!! It was a really great weekend! I didn't get a picture of Eli this weekend, but I thought this one was cute. I love that little dollface!! He is a HAPPY kid and smiles all the time!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my mama!! She's about to retire after many, many years of teaching school. (My dad has been retired since we were sophomores at Auburn, but mama took 10 years to stay at home with us. Now she gets up and goes to work everyday while he takes it easy. She's going to be able to take it easy VERY soon - I think it's about 12 days or so. Maybe she'll choose to take it easy at the beach.) We sure do appreciate you!! I love you so much!

(The picture below is the most recent I could find. Ashley was about to POP and I was pretty far along myself. We obviously need to take more pictures if this is the best I can come up with)

For Our Families

Don't let me bore you! We took Caleb swimming on Sunday afternoon, and you've ALREADY SEEN pictures of him swimming this week, but I knew our families would want to see more so this is for them...

All that swimming will wear you out!

Vacation

We've been on vacation this weekend. It's the first time we've been somewhere besides our parents' houses since Caleb was born. He requires a LOT of stuff and planning, but it was so worth it - we had a WONDERUFL time! We really only traveled about 30 minutes from Panama City to Mexico Beach. Wes's company was having a golf tournament, but I really feel like I've been somewhere. We stayed in this cute little Victorian beach house decorated with antiques, and the weather was perfect.

I didn't mind coming back from vacation because my good friend, Ashley (Bourland) Collins, and her family are staying at a house in Destin this week, and I knew I was going to get to see her, Abby and meet Hudson. It was SO good to catch up with her! Plus, Caleb has been practicing his swimming in the bathtub for months now, and he got to show his skills for the first time today. HE LOVED IT! The pool was heated and felt like bathwater. He SMILED so big and laughed. Bourland - Thanks so much for having us!! Here we are with our boys below. Don't they look like they will get along great??

Sweet Surprise

Ashley, our boys and I have been in Hartselle because we hosted a SURPRISE baby shower for Katie to celebrate baby Caroline (coming in June). It was a REALLY fun trip and Katie was VERY surprised! Katie wrote about the shower on her blog. Click HERE to read it. Below is her reaction on video and some pictures from our trip.

Easter Weekend

HE HAS RISEN! "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9:15

We had a great weekend in Dothan celebrating Easter weekend with family. Caleb is going to be so bored tomorrow when it is just me to entertain him again. He LOVED all the attention! It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend and we stayed outside in Nana and Poppy's incredible yard yesterday with Jenny, Hannah Brooke and Carson. Caleb met Pedro (the donkey) for the first time. Nana and Poppy treated us to dinner at the Old Mill last night with The Bagwell and Tice families.

We went to church this morning - LOTS of family was there and then over to lunch at Wes's Granny's. We got to celebrate Easter and were there for Hannah Brooke's birthday! She's 9!! Happy Birthday H.B.!!

Wes's Granny gave a speech about how Jesus lives and she knows He lives because he lives in her. I am SO THANKFUL that Jesus died to take away all of our sins and that He lives in me!! His love is AMAZING!! HAPPY EASTER!!

Skate Party!

We went to Hartselle this weekend to celebrate Grace's 6th birthday with her. She had her party at the skate castle (Ashley and I had our b'day party there one year, too) and I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all! Grace was so excited! Caleb loved the lights and the music and Grandaddy (who couldn't skate b/c he has a bum knee) and Katie (who couldn't skate b/c she is pregnant) held him so Wes and I could both skate. Here are some pictures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
