Spring

Last Saturday Gracie and Heather came to watch Allie play ball . Allie was so excited that Gracie was there.

Here is a picture of Allie and Gracie

This Saturday my parents came to see the game. Grandma was there also. I took a few pictures. I know your probably tired of t-ball pictures. Only two more games left. It has been fun, but this week it was so hot.

I love spring. We have been spending a lot of time outside. Here are a few pictures of the girls outside. Allie is really into riding her bike. Avery loves to play in the Barbie jeep, but she didn't know how to make it go. Last week Allie showed her how to press the pedal. I was hoping she wouldn't learn this yet, because she doesn't know how to drive it. She just kept driving into things. Then I had the great idea to turn the wheel, so when she pushes the pedal it just goes in circles. She loved it. It was pretty funny. She just rode around and around in a circle.

Memphis

We finally made it to Memphis. You may have seen pictures on Mandy's blog. If you didn't you should look at them. They are much better than mine. It seemed like I never had my camera when I wanted it. We were supposed to leave Monday, but Allie started running a fever on Sunday! I took her to the doctor and he said it was a sinus infection. We left Tuesday to go to Memphis. Avery had a runny nose when we left, but ended up on antibiotics before we got home. So, if Ethan and Nina get sick, it will be all our fault. We had a great time. The kids loved playing together. We went to see the ducks at The Peabody. Chris went to graduate school in Memphis and he loves Corky's BBQ, so we had to eat there. I am so glad we made it this time. It was fun spending time with the Nobles.

We left Memphis on Thursday afternoon and headed to my parents house. We pass though the town where my brother lives, so we stopped and saw them. Then we went to mom and dads. We were going to head home on Friday, but we decided to stay one more day. It was good to see them. The kids did well on the trip, except that Avery didn't sleep much in the car. On the way home from mom and dads (4 hour drive) she fell asleep when we were 10 minutes from home.
