little bunny foo foo & fabulous 50.

i had every intention to take my kids easter pictures, but that hasn't happened. instead i took a picture of emily's dirty chucks... i will get them done before easter. maybe. we have been very busy this past week.

 we drove to dawsonville for a visit with the 'padad' friday night. dawsonville has a set of premium outlets. since we literally drive right by them, we had to stop. we made a quick visit to coach, kirklands, the play area, the children's place, and pottery barn. nothing purchased is conversation material . but the drive home, it's worth talking about. it was raining so. hard.  it was pretty scary. emily sang "the itsy bitsy spider" all the way to help comfort me, i assume. she is such a helper. 

saturday was way different than i planned. that happens a lot around here. steven was stranded in virginia. apparently that too happens. anyway i am more than thankful for katie.[check her out] she met us in town so our kids could enjoy some eggstravgansa parade action together. she also brought buckets for the candy. :)

the wind was horrible.

sorry for the poor picture quality. i forgot my camera at home so the iphone had to do.

after the parade we:

 ate at the kingdom [burger king] with our buddies, the pruitts.

we hit a yard sale.

aunt caroline cut my hair.

we visited the local antique mall. [can i just say i wanted 80% of their inventory?]

then we headed home to get ready for a birthday party to honor one of our favorite family members.

little did i know that the decals i had ordered to finish emily & coleman's easter buckets would be waiting for me [in the mail] when i arrived home. so i quickly assembled those...

and after a quick wash and clothes changing we headed to tammy's 50th birthday!

the party was awesome. the food. the cake. the presents. the company. everything. awesome. heather did a wonderful job.

 you couldn't tell by the way she acts but "tam" is actually emily and coleman's great aunt. she treats them more like grand kids. she loves them with her whole heart. and my kids love her with their whole heart. if i could be as:

faithful

loyal

beautiful

tasteful

loving

caring

kind

accepting &

obedient to god

as tam  is i would be on the right track. [and that's just to name a few qualities i love about this woman]

to say the least she has lead a beautiful 50 years and we look forward to spending another 50 with her!

okay maybe i'll see you soon with some easter pictures. maybe not. who knows.
