Baby James in here!

James Strom arrived on Tuesday, May 1st. Since we've taught with Amy her entire pregnancy we all feel like it's our child, too! I guessed the date, so I was excited about that. We spent the entire day getting updates and were able to see James on Tuesday evening. He is so cute! He weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces. We were so excited to finally see him!

Little Man Shower

The third grade teachers threw Amy and baby James a shower 2 weeks ago. I searched Pinterest for an inspiration and discovered the little man theme. I knew this theme would be perfect for Amy. I love the mustaches and ties! We had a wonderful shower and baby James got lots of great gifts. Here's a look at baby James' Little Man Shower!

Chandler's Wedding Shower

Chandler is getting married in June, so we wanted to throw her a little wedding shower. We all went to downtown to eat at Trio. It was so yummy! We celebrated with a cute cake and lots of gifts! We're going to miss her so much when she goes to Texas!

Birthday Weekend-26!

Last weekend I celebrated my 26th birthday. It was a pretty low key birthday since I have so much going on at school and finishing up with graduate school. I always love my birthday and try to make a week out of all the festivities. It was really nice to relax and get some rest. My kids spoiled me with some gifts and goodies on Friday. Friday night, my mom and I went shopping. It's been a while since I've been shopping for myself. On Saturday, I spent the day at home and then went shopping with Brent. We went to Clemson and Greenville for the day. On Saturday night, we celebrated with my family at Trio. I had a delicious chocolate cake and some great gifts. I ate dinner at my grandparents and with the Jacksons later on in the week. Brent and I also went to Sullivan's this weekend for a late birthday dinner. I enjoyed spending time with my family and was so grateful for all my gifts. I got lots of great dresses for the summer! I'm looking forward to a great year!

Happy Anniversary!

Happy 30 Year Anniversary to my parents! I'm so thankful for my wonderful parents! They are wonderful role models and I'm so thankful for their marriage and all they do for us. I hope they have many, many more years together! We love you!

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful and busy Easter celebrating with family! It was a beautiful day to celebrate our Risen Lord! After church, I came home and finished a few treats. I made some Bunny Mix on Saturday and a lot of it was eaten by two little boys in my house. :) It was really good and looked cute with the pastel M&Ms. I'll definitely be making more of it, because Brent really liked it. I also made strawberry cupcakes from a recipe I found on Pinterest. I love making cupcakes and these turned out so cute! I'm pretty sure everyone liked them because I only came home with 3 last night.

We started the day eating at my Rosie's and then headed to Greenville with Brent's family. We ate dinner with my family at my Nana and Papa's. It was a busy day full of lots of eating and spending time together!

Spring Break Fun

We had a great end of Spring Break this week! I was so glad to have Monday off today, too! It's so sad that it's going to be over tomorrow, but I'm excited to see my kids again. It won't be long until summer gets here!

On Thursday and Friday, I spent a lot of time doing my school work. Only 2 more weeks of these 2 classes! I went to see Candice's new house and did some shopping with my Mom and Nana. Lindsay came to stay for the weekend, so it was great catching up with her. It was a nice relaxing Thursday and Friday!

On Saturday, the kids came over and we had a little Easter egg hunt. They had so much fun hiding the eggs. We also hid the eggs for Brent, Lindsay, and Josh. It was lots of fun! I always loved finding Easter eggs when I was young at my grandparents' house. On Saturday night, we went to Greenville with Lindsay and Josh. We ate at Liberty and went to the Drive game. It was a beautiful night for a baseball game. We left a little early and let the boys get an ice cream at Marble Slab.

We watched the Master' all weekend and cheered on Bubba! We had a wonderful Spring Break!
