Late Spring Catch-Up

This Spring sprinted right past me... and we had such a JOYOUS one!  Here are some of our late Spring pictures.
Alexander had a great time at his school Easter Egg hunt.  Each kiddo in his class had a specific number eggs they had to find.  His favorite teacher, Mrs. Fisher, is helping him find some of his tricky eggs.
Of course, Little Brother is always there to help.
The Preschool Crew
Steven and I had a blast in Texas at a dear friend's wedding in April.  The grandparents were gracious enough to split babysitting duties, so we had a FABULOUS time hanging out with some of our favorite peeps.
The Super Cool Bride and Groom
The Madison Locys came down for a super fun weekend in April.  Uncle Ian made Alexander a VERY cool Batman card...
...and of course there were several dance parties involved.
Everyone had a TON of fun at Legoland in Atlanta...
...and the older boys got to see the Lion King at the Fox Theater.  They LOVED it (despite our nosebleed seats).  Alexander told me a few weeks later that he was really glad we were so far away because the actors looked like they were the real animals since he couldn't see their faces (haha).
And then our sweet little bundle of joy (well it seems like it was just yesterday he was a sweet bundle of joy) turned FIVE... WHAT?!? How could five years have possibly gone by already?!?
Supervising cake commencement
The finished product
Grandpa and Grandma definitely made his day with this Millennium Falcon toy.  Our little guy has gone through a few obsessions in his short five years... Curious George, Batman, and now... STAR WARS!  The boy will talk your ear off if you get him started on his favorite galactic characters from a galaxy far, far away.
Good times celebrating five years with his friends at the bowling alley.
Some post-birthday Gladden fun... what a great shot of the whole Gladden crew!

Snowpocalypse and Other Winter Fun

Happy 30-something Steven!

Silly straw glasses
The snow started to fall on the way home from picking up Alexander at school... he was HOPING for some snow!  We weathered Atlanta's snowpocalypse fine and escaped to Auburn for the ice storm that followed a few weeks later.  It has been a crazy cold winter, and we were thankful for some pretty/fun snow to go with our cold temps.






We used the boogie board (for riding waves at the beach) to ride the snow in the front yard...AO is getting brave in his "old age."

Celebrating the New Year

CG and Padre hosted a SUPER FUN New Year's Eve party for all their friends that we crashed.  Fun music and dancing...great way to ring in the New Year!
