Fun times in the back yard

GG and Pop gave Lucas this play castle for Christmas and it was finally warm enough in April for us to put it together and play outside. He loved climbing up the ladder and then sliding down the slide.

Hadn't quite grasped the concept of the slide at this point...

"I'm good!"

Yucky dirt!

I need a break!

Langdy-bug turns TWO!!

Langdon turned 2 years old in February!! We had a great time in Georgia celebrating with all their family. Let's see the guests included: Of course Keith, Melissa, Jackson and Langdon; Mamaw and Papaw; Nana and Poppa; Mimi (Keith's mom, Lindy); Keith's sister, Lauren, her husband, Jeff, and their 3 boys - Cameron, Charlie, and Parker; Eric, me, and Lucas. We had a blast!

Let me brag a little on my sister-in-law and mother-in-law. They made the cakes themselves!!! Seriously they need to go into business!!

The flowers are made out of marshmallows!

Have you ever tried to get 6 kids under the age of 6 to all look at a camera and smile? If you have succeeded can you please pass on the tip?! Charlie, Parker, Lucas, Cameron, Langdon, and Jackson

We love you SO MUCH Langdon!!

Merecedes 1/2 Marathon

Eric and his sister, Melissa, participated in the Mercedes 1/2 Marathon on Valentine's Day this year. This was Melissa's first time to run a 1/2 marathon. Several years ago we were walking buddies for the Music City 1/2 Marathon in Nashville, but I am so proud of her for running in this one. I really wish that I liked to run, but really the only time you are going to see me run is if something large and scary is chasing me.

Here's Lucas waiting at mile 4 cheering on all the runners

Eric and Melissa stopped to give a quick hello and then off they went again

Mile 6

Go ERIC AND MO!!

So proud of you guys! Love the medals!

Auburn National Championship Game

Eric had the pleasure of going to the National Championship game! To say that he had a good time would definitely be an understatement! He flew into Las Vegas and spent a couple days there with his sister, Melissa, and her husband, Keith. Keith was the one who was able to get the tickets (thanks Keith!) I had just started my new job at the time so I did not have the time off to go (boo!). Eric had a blast though as you can see from the pictures!

The flight attendant played "All I Do Is Win" for the passengers. Eric said it was 90% Auburn fans on the plane.

Eric and Jay - If you would like these amazing orange sunglasses (that Eric found at a restaurant) name your price...I will actually pay YOU to take them!

Keith, Melissa, and Eric

They had a great time and Eric promises me that he will take me to Vegas. I am sure that I will really have to twist his arm!
