We drove to Leroy late Wednesday night after church to spend Easter weekend with the Cartee’s.
Thursday we went to see cousin
Cooper’s Baseball game.
Gue and Nixon watching the game!
Nixon said she will never play ball b/c ball is for boys!
I try to tell her that isn’t true but she insists she is a ballerina.
Pop, Roman, and Isla
Cooper talking to Nixon during the game.
It was Roman’s 1st time at the ball field but I have
a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there in the future!
Friday morning Gue and Pop had a birthday surprise for Isla!
Gue gave her Dora pajamas,
Dora snacks,
and she made her a Dora Birthday shirt for her party!
Nixon enjoyed Gue reading with her!
After we got dressed Isla and Roman enjoyed Easter lollipops!
Roman really liked his lollipop!
30 minutes later Roman still enjoying his lollipop!
We had to stick him in the tub after this!
The kids hung out with Gue outside while Jared and
Pop played golf and I worked.
Cousin Reid and Ellis came!
Reid and Nixon loved playing with Jared’s old toys!
