Brooks' birthday party

Our nephew, Brooks, turned 3-years-old on March 22, and celebrated with a WALL-E party at an inflatable "fun zone" on Saturday, 3-27. A super-fun time was had by all!!!

Here's the birthday boy with his Daddy. Brooks loves to jump, but on this night, he couldn't get enough of playing ball!

Maddox & Wesley had a great time at the party. Wesley really enjoyed sliding!

Callie Jewel made the party, too :)

Wheee! Go Hudson & Cade!

Jesse had a good time at big brother's party

Anybody want to play basketball?

Andi Cate is wearing down...

Check out the presents! Brooks got a lot of nice things & enjoyed playing with his family and friends. He really did have a wonderful party. :)

HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, BROOKS!!!

We love you!

Funny from Hudson

While we were getting ready for the Tennessee basketball game to start Sunday afternoon, Howie was flipping back & forth to a golf channel. During a show about golf equipment, for some reason there were "hula girls" shown with a featured product. They had on the "traditional" hula outfits - you know, coconut tops & grass skirts - and

Hudson said, "Momma, you need to get some brats (bras) like that!"

Yea, right! Ha, ha!

Smart boy

Cade is spending the night with Cacki & Papa tonight, so we just got back from meeting Papa to pick him up. He's been totally wired all morning! He has been so excited about going!

While Howie was getting his seat ready for him in Papa's truck, Cade was bouncing from here to there and everywhere, so Papa came around and was playing with him. All of a sudden, Cade said to Papa, "Hey! Wanna count in Spanish with me?" (Ok, he's been really "into" DIEGO lately, but this was new.) He holds out his five fingers, & points to each as he says, "Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco." WOW! I didn't know he could do that! And he does it again. AWESOME!

Howie & I have talked about how smart Cade is, but often his intelligence is overshadowed by his behavior. We couldn't be more proud of him, though :). Cade really is a bright boy.

Solo Sitter

Callie has been working on sitting for a while, but she's just gotten to the point where I feel comfortable walking away from her while she's sitting without her being surrounded by pillows!

Not surprised that this little man caught the bug. He's scheduled for a tonsillectomy in a few weeks. Hopefully then we'll have no more of this!

Hudson's 1st case of strep...

Boy, he sure looks sick, doesn't he? ha!

He did run fever for 3 days, but he's back to school now!

A few sunny days...

We've had a couple of really nice days this week... sunny & warm! Spring will be here soon! These were a few good "preview" days. :)

Cade has been waiting & wishing for an outdoor picnic
