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!

I DO like money!

Chase wasn't sure what he wanted for his birthday from Aunt Wendy..."Do you want me to send you money?" Chase replied "No, I don't really like money." hmmmm

Here we are at Toys R Us -- "I DO like money!" A basketball and Bakugans and a book and...

What a blast!

Magnolia Jane

Magnolia Jane bloomed in a big way this spring -- she sits just off our front porch. One foggy morning her colors just seem to stand out from all the grays. Beautiful!

Blog Updates

Hey ya'll! Check out the blog -- I've added lots of new pics since our snow day.

Birthday Boy!

Chase turns 6!

Chase is a smart kindergartener, handsome, rambunctious (did I spell that right?), energetic, athletic...a dare-devil with a penchant for running and jumping and tossing something up just to catch it! A straight "E" student in academia, Chase enjoys a good laugh with his classmates...even when he should be concentrating on 'the calendar.' "All boy" belongs to Chase! He is a verb.

Ouch!

7:30pm...Friday night game about to start and the coach is walking briskly toward me with Chase in his arms. "I need Lynne Keener right now." I'm glad you aren't seeing a picture from that night! One little boy on his team was warming up his bat swing. Ouch! We headed to the Children's clinic who sent us further to Atlanta for a CTScan -- No breaks, just a really bad bruise. Chase was super brave and when asked if it hurt (by nurses, etc.) he said no. He kept asking "Can't we just go to Taco Bell, I'm hungry!" Tough Guy!

The next day, Chase's 6th birthday, the coach came over with the game ball that all the other players had signed. Cool. Aw Shucks, Coach!
