May 14-17: Cleveland!

On Saturday, Sara and I headed to Cleveland to visit the Page family! I was so excited to go, but I was a little sad to leave my guys!

Sara was SO excited- she kept telling me it was her first time on a plane (which it is not!!) She watched out the window the whole time!

From May 2011


In Atlanta, Sara spent the whole time watching planes landing and taking off!

May 8: Happy Mother's Day!

We had a laid back Mother's Day. On Saturday afternoon, we went to Lafayette so that Mike could help Uncle and Aunt Kristin move and so I could visit with Kendra and Kyla (yay!) On Sunday, Mike and Sara helped Nathan and Kristin some more (Sara was so excited to help!) and I brought the boys home.

Sara was SO excited for Mother's Day and really wanted to get me a present from Sears (she saw some commercial- ha ha!) Anyway, she had made me some great art work at school and she also picked out my bracelet (which I now have to wear 24/7) I am so blessed to have my kiddos:

From May 2011


Too bad Peter was already in bed!

I hope all you mamas had a wonderful Mother's Day!!!!

May 7: Downtown

On Saturday we took Mick and Sara to Toy Story on Ice (a special thanks to Hanna for watching Peter :) ) Sara was SO excited but Mick wasn't quite sure what to think! I think that he enjoyed it though.
From May 2011


Afterwards, we walked down to the river for a little while. Here are Mike and Mick with the USS Kidd (there was a train passing by and Mick was much more interested in that!

Sara wanted me to take this picture:
