Race for Amanda

It has been just over two years since my best friend, Amanda, lost her very short battle to ovarian cancer. It was just heart breaking watching her slip away so quickly. She fought so hard and was SOOOOOO positive the whole time. This type of cancer is so dangerous because it is silent and goes undetected so much. Please take the time to read about it for the sake of all the women in your lives who you love so much.

The weather couldn't have been more perfect today to celebrate the lives of all the women who have fought to beat this horrid disease. We all ran (and walked) in honor of them. But for me especially, Amanda, was on the forefront of my mind the whole time. I had a teal butterfly, ovarian cancer T-shirt on to represent Amanda who loved butterflies so much and the little ones each wore teal shirts for the cause.
We think of you each day Amanda and wish you were still here with us, love you

Soccer in the Spring


Blake took to the field again this spring for another season of soccer. Watching the little kids run around and having almost no idea what they're doing but having fun anyway, is just priceless!

Can't get it by me!

Georgia Aquarium

Their silhouettes are so sweet
We had a very unexpected trip to Atlanta to visit Grammie and Grampie last weekend. They were absolutely in shock when we pulled in the driveway but of course, welcomed us with open arms. We played lots of basketball and had yummy meals, and also visited the famous Georgia Aquarium-the largest in the world. It was fun, but don't think it was worth practically having to donate a kidney for the price of admission! Nonetheless, we saw lots of pretty fish, the kids had fun and we can check it off our list!

Some April Fun

April was yet another busy month...after coming home from Vero and having a wonderful Easter day, we also visited Baltimore, went to the Botanical Gardens-a great, fun place for the little ones to run around, visited the new elephants at the zoo with friends, Daddy took Blake to a local baseball game, and we survived one of the most horrific days of tornadoes in US history-we thank God that we were unharmed and our hearts go out to all of those so close by that were affected.

We bring the fun inside when there's bad weather outside-tutus and all!
