Spring Break 2017

Last week was spring break for our kids.  They spent a couple of days with Grandmama and Granddaddy and went back to Stone Mountain.  They got to go up to the top of the mountain this time and loved it!  

Waving hi to daddy in downtown Atlanta!

They also got to see the dinosaur exhibit.

Some hot and sweaty kids, huh?

And ready for their first laser show that night.  They really enjoyed their day!

Thursday, Rachel went to a friend's house and I took Jackson to a new adventure place close by.  They have trampolines, jousting areas, and most important - a ninja warrior style course that he could do.  He tried it all but wasn't tall enough to do some of the obstacles - but he gave it his best shot!  

Doing flips into the foam pit.

He loved the jousting!

We went and saw our friend's new house and hung with them for a little bit... Rachel and Jackson love playing with Evie!

And to end our week, we took a quick trip up to Charlotte to help celebrate Tori's 30th birthday.  We painted ostriches together.  Cute!

 

Playing cornhole.

It was a beautiful day to be outside.

Cousins (that we rarely get to see and that are getting way too old!!).

And on the way home, we passed the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile!  

March...So Far

Both kids are playing soccer through our school league this year.  Rachel played last year and this is Jackson's first time in this league.  He didn't like playing 2 years ago and didn't want to do it last year with school...but I'm so glad he tried it this time.    Jackson is on a K-1 team and Rachel is on the 4th/5th grade team - much more competitive this year!  Makes for busy Saturdays right now but it's fun!

Ready for their first game!

With some of our neighborhood friends after their games.

Our church has a service once a year where they give a new Bible to the First Graders.  Here is Jackson before the service and getting his Bible.

Rachel's friend, Haley, came with us to hang with her.

Afterwards during the reception...

And Jackson with Pastor Johnny.

Ready for St. Patrick's Day...

And this was Rachel's cereal box project that she worked really hard on...Fourth grade has been a lot of work so far... 

February Break

The kids were out of school last week for their February/Winter Break.  They spent a few days with Barbara and Dawson and even got to to the circus with them!  This was the last time to ever see the circus and they really enjoyed it.  

Honk!

Breakfast at their favorite spot.

Our little climber.

Thursday we went up to Charlotte for a couple of days.  We met Grandpa for dinner on our way in.

Out for a walk with Nana and Jim.

The weather was gorgeous the whole time we were there - temps in the mid 70's.  You'd never know it was February!

Went to visit my Grandma Perkins - she turns 90 next week!  

Saturday we hung out with Grandpa - saw the water at Latta Plantation.  It was so windy out there!

Grandma and Grandpa Davidson came with us and we got some pictures with them too.

Four generations here.

This is our last week of basketball for Jackson.  And both of them have their first soccer game this Saturday.  We're making the transition from basketball to soccer.  Soccer pictures to come soon, I'm sure.
