Alright, here comes a HUGE blog update!  I didn't realize I had 336 pictures on my camera to download, so here's my best attempt to gleam some of the highlights of March!

Home Depo Monster Truck Project.

They both enjoy Saturday morning building projects.

William brought home lots of bandages for the kids to play with in their doctor kit......and Connor LOVES wrapping up his ENTIRE body with them.

Totally makes me laugh!

Logan's creative building.

I opened a bag of marshmallows and a box of toothpicks one afternoon.....

.....and we built stuff....and ate lots of marshmallows!  Logan said his was a car wash.

My Mom, Dad, sister, niece and nephews came for a visit the week before William and Logan's birthday.....it was a full house and LOTS of fun.

Jackson, chillin' with grandpa!

It was rainy, but we took the kids to the park anyway!

Waiting their turn.

Mom, flyin' the Tennessee flag in Louisiana!

Connor and Elias found deep puddles to splash in.

The big 'ol slide!

This was so funny to me.....Isaac was doing all he could to stay out of my pictures, so I ambushed him, held him tight, and took the shot!  That little giggle box!

Cutie pie!

Grandpa and the youngin's

Grandma and the youngin's


Olivia LOVED the boys' electric jeep.....and I think she enjoyed some time away from all the boys - she was definitely outnumbered for the week!

Ohhh the rice table.  
I thought I was making a super cool textile exploration bucket for the kids to play in.....but I think I should have waited until all the rain was gone.  Wet rice on the patio is ridiculously hard to clean up.....and we caught two mice the next day!!!!  

We celebrated Logan's birthday all week! 

I can't believe my big man is FIVE!!!

It was great to celebrate with cousins and Grandparents!

....do you think Connor liked the cup cakes?!

And my hubby is 42.....and HOT as ever!

We took the kids to a petting zoo.

They fed the donkeys and horses some grass.

Mom fell and severely sprained her ankle.....she sure was a trooper the rest of the week!

We took the boat out on the one afternoon it didn't rain while they were all here. 
William instructed Dad and I to hold the rope so the boat didn't float away.....CHECK! hee hee!


Boys.

I don't think Connor learned his lesson last year when he fell out of Grandpa's boat on the pond - he still leans WAY over the side to drag his hand in the water. 

Logan chillin' in the front chair.

They all took turns driving.



Isaac and Logan LOVE playing Monopoly.

The kids brought Grandma dinner in bed one evening so she could rest her ankle.

We visited the Barksdale Air Force Base Museum.





Checking out the landing gear.


While on base, we swung by to see William....my boys had to show their cousins the super cool lift Daddy gets to use.

Birthday breakfast doughnuts!

I'm still just blown away that he's FIVE!  
I am so thankful God gave Logan to us - he is a daily blessing!

Selfies with my sister! 
I love my sister......I'm sooo sooo glad she was able to come on spring break this year!

Here's Logan opening presents EARLY on his birthday.....Grandma had the box hidden in her room, but he had found it three days before and asked every day when he could open it.

BATMAN DUPLO LEGOS! YES!


Tami made William a SUPER CREATIVE birthday card!

GUM!  
Logan had to wait until he was five to chew gum, so for his birthday, I got him 5 packs!!!

And he tried them ALL immediately!  
A few were swallowed......

More Legos!


He was SOO excited about his remote control truck!

Papa Bill and Grandma Patti came for a visit on William and Logan's birthday too!!
We saved the big cakes for the evening of William and Logan's actual birthday.
(William's cake says 42, it's just backwards for this picture.) 

  Papa Bill and Grandma Patti helped put legos together!

We went to the Bass Pro Shop!

And we went out to eat at the River City Grill for some crawfish!



William got crawfish twice for his birthday week!  (And we found out Connor loves them too!)  When we had gone with my family all the kids got to play with LIVE crawfish....and they played with them again after they had been boiled! hee hee! (I just didn't have my camera that day)

This old house is on the property that Adam and Andy (William's brothers) hunt on.  Grandma Patti and Papa Bill wanted to go see it since we're only 45 minutes away.

The plaque on the outside. 


My big five year old picking wild onions.

I just had to get a few shots of him with the pretty scenery!

And a few family ones too!

We're so glad ya'll came up for a visit!!!


Such a pretty tree!

Spring is here!

Here are some pictures of the inside of the historic house.






Grandma Patti can remember coming here and reading these old books.

The front porch.



I had SOOO many sweet pictures of the kids here, it was hard to narrow it down for the blog!


Grandma Patti said that rock Connor is standing on had been there for ever!

...pretty fence.

Takin' a walk down the lane.

Soccer!
We started a new season - Team Impact!

William is coaching Logan's team with Upward Sports at the church.  They get to pray with the kids before every game, and at practices they have a little devotion.  After the first practice, Logan said, "MOM!  Dad got to pray with all the kids on my team!"  Precious.

Here's Connor and I freezing our tails off at the first game last Saturday.

Logan is number 8.

What a GREAT coach!

Action shot!

The kids decorated Easter bags at the Library for an egg hunt.

The completed bags!


The hunt is on!


While at the library, they got to ice and decorate cookies.

YUMMY!
