5K Run (Walk!)

We had a great walk for Anna's Angel Fund from our church, Hamilton Mill UMC through the park and back around! All for children's cancer -- Anna is a member of the church and a survivor -- she was there to greet the hundred's who crossed the finish line! Learn more http://annasangels.org/index.html

Mother's Day

Game Ball!

Game Ball for our Madie. Madison here with her coach and the coach's daughter Madie.

Spring Fling!

Go Braves -- we had a blast at the Spring Fling carnival. We (we?) jumped on jumpy things and won tickets to trade for "treasures" (a'la Chuck E Cheese!) and got our hair painted too!

Fast!

Madie and Chase did great at Field Day this year -- they brought home 2-3 blue ribbons each -- both winning the 50 yard dash among other events. And both of their classes won 2nd in the tug-o-war -- a very competitive (mostly for the teachers and parents!) event! (Click on an image to see full size -- check out Madie's stride in the first picture )

Azaleas!

We got our first bloom of azaleas out front this year -- last year they didn't produce but are everywhere. Not sure if it's the rain or maybe b/c they were still new in '08.

Crazy Hat Day!

I said no all year -- until the last crazy hat day. You pay a $1 and wear a hat in school -- it's for charity but a dollar here, a dollar there....

Taste of Trilogy!

We had a great time at the first (annual?) Taste of Trilogy -- I made a fancy dip (some of you know "Dip for the Stars") but couldn't pull off the most votes. The best part was buying 10 tastes for a buck or two and getting filled up on yummy food! Beer, wine, good friends, good food...need I say more!

Brownie Camp!

Overnight?! Madie had a great time at Camp Tiber Ridge, earning several patches cookie on an open fire and canoeing in the lake! How do you spell canoeing?! :o) Chase really wanted to go along but in the end settled for a hug.

Lookin' Good on Easter

Dungeon of Fun!

The kids love to get together and play dress up in the basement! It's usually half a broadway show and half a horror movie being created...guess who the director is? Madie of course -- but everyone usually chips in with their own take and I only break it up when I can't hear my soaps or to toss snacks down to them! :o)

Snowy Mountain Fun!

We spent a few days in just before Easter Clayton and had a great time in the snow!
