Spring Break Fun
Whew! Life has been SUPER busy since Spring Break a couple of weeks ago! We had a wonderful week...we started off by taking Elizabeth for her first hair cut with Mrs. Claire. She just needed a little shaping up in places, and she did SO good-she is definitely a girly girl, and loves having her hair done!
A sucker makes everything better!
Sweet Mrs. Claire, who is always SO patient with John and Elizabeth (and who is fabulous, too!)
On Tuesday of Spring Break week, we headed to Memphis to visit family, do a little shopping and our first family trip to the zoo! We had the best time!
John's requests were to see the zebras, monkeys and polar bears, which he loved! 
Elizabeth loved the big cats-lions were her favorite!
What WAY too much fun looks like...
Happy girl!
Pure sweetness on the way home.
We had fun wearing our green on St. Patrick's Day!
Lately we have just been busy winding down the school year, working on projects around the house and yard, and getting ready to celebrate Easter soon! John and Elizabeth have had so much fun hiding eggs, hiding things in eggs, and rolling them down the hallway!
We are also just resting up for a busy and fun summer!

Birthday Fun!!!
Last Saturday John had three birthday parties-a new record for us! Elizabeth joined in on the last one as well. Happy Birthday to three sweet girls-Francis, Elle and Meg!
John LOVED the "big teeth" at Healthworks! He is still talking about them!
All John wanted to do at Elle's party was play basketball...her sweet dad definitely got his workout picking John up over and over.
John was like a machine in this bouncy castle-he wouldn't even stop to eat a cupcake!
Miss E. loved "riding" a tricycle at Meg's party-such a big girl! She liked jumping in the little bouncer some, too. 
On a different note...John has definitely been adventuresome lately! I looked at him on the monitor the other night and saw this:
Sweet boy!
Then tonight, I found this after I put Elizabeth to bed:
At least his hands were clean!
We are ready for a fun Spring Break...hope you have a great week too! Check back for photos soon!

Happy Valentine's Day!
We started Valentine's Day off with a fun breakfast and opening a few gifts from us, Boss and Bo and Big Daddy. After that, it was off to school! Boss and I had fun helping with John's Valentine party (Elizabeth even had a mini cupcake in the nursery,too!) We left preschool to pick up pizza and head to my school, where Boss stayed to eat lunch with my class. Tonight we went to eat at a new Mexican restaurant...we had a happy Valentine's Day and hope you did, too!

Big Boy Bed, Good Tunes and Charity Ball
Yesterday morning I woke up to the sound of little footsteps in the hallway...I got up and found John standing there not sure what to do with his new found freedom! I asked him if he had climbed out, and he so happily said "Yea Mom!" We knew this day was coming...he had figured out some way to get the side down on his crib, which had happened a few times last week. He had no trouble swinging his legs over and hopping out-he showed me after nap time yesterday just how he did it!
So, we headed out yesterday morning for breakfast at Cracker Barrel and to purchase a toddler bed. Our brother in law, Matt Baker, played at the Blue Canoe last night, so we waited until today to put John's new bed up. That way Lauren and Jim (better known as La La and Jim Jim) our sweet neighbors who babysat last night, wouldn't have to try to put him down in his new bed.
This was John on his last night in his crib. We couldn't believe this morning was the last time we would get him out of it. As Jason put his new bed together today, he kept saying "Cool Dad, cool!" 
He and Elizabeth played on it for a while, then nap time rolled around. It took him about 45 minutes to wind down and get settled...but he ended up sleeping two hours! He's had a little trouble going to sleep tonight, but nothing bad. He is so excited to have a big boy bed...and something tells me Miss Elizabeth won't be too far behind! 
Jason and I enjoyed a couple of nights out this weekend, too...Friday night was Charity Ball, with the same great 80s cover band as last year (does it get any better?!)
And last night we were so excited to be at the Blue Canoe to see Matt open for the band Congress. Matt is an amazingly gifted musician-he has written around 30 songs, and sings and plays guitar. He performed 5 of his originals last night, and the crowd loved him! We were so proud, and can't wait to see what may lie ahead for him.
A busy but great weekend! Hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
