Girls night out! (+ one boy)

Ben and I had a fun date with Laci and Marlee last week! We did some shopping at Eagle Ridge and had dinner at Chili's. We love our sweet friends!Ben and Marlee loved their lollipops. It looks like Marlee is saying "Yay!"

Marlee loves ranch dressing like her mama :)Ben with a mouth-full! He loves pizza and corn on the cob from Chili's.

sweet baby boys

I got to snuggle with TWO precious bundles of joy this evening. Reese and Brayden Irvin were born Friday, March 9th, and I have been dying to hold them. Their mama and daddy are doing such a good job with them. They look like pros already. Enjoy the pictures!

Sweet boys! Reese is on the left and Brayden on the right. Their mama and daddy say they have such different personalities already. Reese is going to be their little pistol, while Brayden is more easy-going.Cuddling with Brayden

FHS Alumni Game

FHS baseball hosted the third-annual alumni game yesterday. Jeremy and the team did such a great job putting it together. The BBQ pulled-pork dinners were so good! The alumni had so much fun reliving their glory days and competing with each other. It's so much fun to watch these guys come out and play again.

Ben really enjoyed himself at the ball field. He got to catch up with Payton and Hannah Ogburn. Hannah is having a good time in Kindergarten this year. Ben really misses her at Aunt Joyce's though.

Enjoy the pictures!

Yay! Jeremy made it to 3rd base!

Can you tell how much fun my husband was having playing ball again?! :)

Never Grow Up

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Ben loves trains so I knew he would love this train engineer costume to play in. He was so excited when I gave it to him. He did not want to take it off. He wanted us to call him "Conductor Ben." I love this boy's imagination. I wish he could stay this little forever.

Date with Michelle

I got to hang out with my BFF, Michelle, last Saturday. We met up in Lakeland and went to the movies. We had so much fun catching up. She lives in Germany now with her husband, so I don't get to see her very much. I can't wait until her next visit.

Just Like Dad

Ben loves pretending to shave like Daddy. I love this picture of him.

The things I'm looking forward to this month...

that are keeping me from going insane!

1. Baseball Alumni game/BBQ dinner (praying Mrs. Dyer makes strawberry shortcake again)
2. Playdate at the children's museum with Laci, Marlee and Easton
3. SPRING BREAK
4. Two nights at the Gaylord Palms with my boys for the low price of $99 per night
5. Getting my 45 minute formal observation over with

I can't put this on my list yet because it's not definite, but I think I figured out a way to get back into my running routine. Jeremy has had so many baseball games lately. Four this week to be exact if you count the alumni game. I think I'm going to leave Ben with Grandma and Grandpa Byrd during the home games (if they don't mind) and run the track with a flashlight! That's right folks! If you pass the high school and see a weird light going round and round, that will probably be me, ha ha!

I promise I will post pictures soon! They take so much time to upload and every minute is so precious to me right now! I got to see my BFF Michelle last week. She is in Polk County from Germany for a few weeks. I was so happy to get my Michelle fix!
