The Past Couple of Weeks in Pictures
I'm sure that most of you all have moved at least once in your life.. For me, the first time wasn't as hard as this... After a minor set back over the weekend with our new home, we are back on track with the same ol' plan!! Now, again, I can't wait!!!!!!Okay, let's start back from last week... On Thursday my friend Betsy and I took our kids to see Dora.. Her kids loved it.. They never moved the entire time, my child, however... Hates to watch television.... So he layed out in the aisle and said he was going to take a nap!! If we'd taken him to the tractor pulls, he would have been more interested... Here are a few pictures from our trip!!
Here is Brice, Carson, and Dawson just before the show.. They were so excited!! Dawson was cheesing!!!!!!!
When we got to the line to pick up our tickets, we ran into Andee, Percy and Landry... So we got to eat lunch together and catch up a little bit!! The kids had a blast playing at Johnny's... It was almost like just the women went out for lunch... Nice!!!! 
This is right before the show, I finally got them all to get in a line for ONE picture with the five of them.. From L-R Brice, Landry, Percy, Carson & Dawson.. We could see Percy during the show dancing away!! I think they all really enjoyed the show...
Okay, this is something that Betsy and I talked about.... Did Dora look manly to anyone else???
It was kind of hard to get a picture with our kids and something not be wrong... But we tried... Here is me and Dawson!! Of course his eyes were closed in every picture.. 
And here is Betsy Carson and Brice!! All of the pictures of them were blurry...
When we left, we had to find Easter outfits... So first we stopped by the mall and got trapped... By the train!! 
Then we went to Target... After both of our husband's called to let us know that we were under a tornado warning... Betsy and I decided that we'd rather be in Target rather than on the road... So off we went... I got the kids popcorn and cokes to keep them quiet.. But poor little Carson couldn't stand it another minute!! 
That night the weather got pretty rough... So we went and stayed at Granny's... In the hall... But before the tornados were close Dawson had to play on the drums for awhile!! Strangely enough, he keeps a pretty good beat!! 
The next day brought along the prom!! Like the other two girls have done for their proms, Tiffany asked me to put on her make-up... "SURE"!! I love to do make-up!!! And so we did!! 
Hehe, I should post the before and after.... naaaa she'd probably choke me!!! She's just as pretty plain jane!!
Tiffany is my baby, she was only eight when David and I started dating... She has always been my girl and I can't even believe that she is old enough to be going to the prom... I remember when Amanda went, I was sad, but I was prepared... I knew that Victoria would be going soon after Manda, I was sad, but still in shock of having a baby... With Tiffany, it kind of snuck up on me... Tiffany is so sweet and she looked beautiful!!! 
Last week was crazy, I've been packing and moving... Ugh, I'm so tired of looking at boxes, I could scream!!!! Thank God for Betsy... She's been coming out and bringing her kids and that has kept Dawson so busy... She's really helped me a lot!!
Friday came and it was BUNCO time!!!! We had it at my daddy's and we all got in the hot tub after playing for awhile... Well, not all of us, but half of us... I can't believe that I left my damn camera at home!!! I never leave my camera at home!!! But we did have a blast!! Julie, you gotta send me some pictures!!
Saturday morning we had a huge Easter egg hunt to go to at our neighbor's house.. It was so much fun!!
Mr. Harry told the real reason for Easter with jelly beans for all of the kids... And then it was off to the hunt!! 
There were over 1,000 hidden... Dawson found 30... He was more interested in what was inside the egg rather than how many he got!!! But he had a wonderful time!!
Saturday night the Easter Bunny hopped into our house and made a wreck of the whole place!! (well actually he/she made a wreck of the place last week..) So Sunday morning Dawson was anticipating what kind of surprises he would have in his basket.... I assure you that he WAS a lot more excited than he looked!!;)
He was most excited about the SpongeBob camera that he threw a fit for at Target last week... But didn't get... Thanks to the Easter Bunny, now he has it and all of the film was used up in about 30 minutes... But he loved it!! 
Sunday morning he looked like such a big boy!! Off to church for another Easter egg hunt!! The kids had a blast!!
Amanda has the kids spoiled rotton, she is Dawson's cousin and Sunday School teacher.. A couple of weeks ago, she showed them how to trace each other with sidewalk chalk... Of course Dawson wanted to trace her... Amanda has never said "no" to him, why start now!!??!! hehe!! (she'll be ready to kill me for this picture!!)
Yep, down she goes!!! In her new Easter dress and all!!! She is a nut!! 
After Church we went to David's cousin Cynthia's house for yet another Easter egg hunt!!! Cynthia took our family picture for us.. (I look like a fat hog squatted down like that.) Note to self: Always stand in pictures!!
Dawson loved hunting all of the "rooster eggs"!! That's what he calls it... It's not Easter, it's rooster!! hehe!!
It was so funny watching him at this egg hunt... He wouldn't look for the "rooster" eggs... He would watch Julia... When he saw her running for an egg, he'd start running with her and look for the same egg... Then get mad when he got there and she took the egg... We laughed so hard!!!!
Dawson was so tired after this, but he wanted to go to Conk's and hunt one more time with aunt Punky!! So he stayed awake all the way home!!! He knew if he fell asleep, I would've brought him home and put him in his bed for a good nap..
He and Tristan had a good time... She isn't the best Easter egg hunter... She wants you to hide them, and then tell her where you put them... Dawson showed her where most of them were.. He found them better than she did!! hehe!! 
Here he is taking a picture of Tristan... CHEESE!!! 
Before we went to mom's I let him open his camera... He took a picture of me and mom with his camera, and this is one that he took with mine.... He's gonna be a photographer... Pretty good for a 3 yr. Old eye!?! Remember note to self!! 
This was also David's 31st birthday!!! Which sucked for him... But that's just something that happens when you have to share your birthday with Easter!!! He had an upset tummy, and had been up all night... So after dinner at Cynthia's, he crashed on the couch until we returned from Conk's...
Happy belated birthday sweetheart!! I love you!!! Your never too old in my eyes!!
So this was our week... And packing in between... I really, really want a nap!!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!
