Spring Break Part 2

Pete LOVES his Uncle Brent!!

Part two of our Spring Break came last Tuesday when the Townsend's stopped by for a visit and some basketball.  To say that Jack is slightly obsessed with basketball might be the understatement of the year!  :)  So Matt thought he might need a "fix" during their vacation and asked if he wanted to come play with the old men.  Ummmm yes!  Talk about doing something to make yourself feel better!!  Oh, I'm just messin' with ya' there lover!
Anywho after some pizza (great food to chow on right before you run yourself ragged!), the boys headed off for a few basketball games and Aunt "Wala" (Laura) stayed with the girls and I for a little playtime.  We hadn't seen them since their BIG announcement and I couldn't wait to discuss all things "baby" with her!!  She also found herself caught in the same room with a SAHM (stay-at-home-mommy) who was in desperate need of some adult conversation and didn't stop running her mouth the entire time!  Sorry about that again!  Apparently, I need to get out more!  HAHA!!
The boys came home looking like they had just run two, full marathons, completely covered in sweat and completely exhausted!  HYSTERICAL!!  Let's just say that I'm pretty certain the three of them slept just fine that night!  

The girls and I met up with them again on Wednesday at the same go cart fun center (for a lack of better term) that we went to last year during their Spring Break.  The weather forecast didn't look promising for the day and my fingers were crossed that we wouldn't get caught in the thunderstorm while Grace was riding the ferris wheel!
Grace couldn't wait and started screaming as soon as she saw the merry-go-round! She and Jack spent the day running from one ride to the next AND Jack even discovered a new love for the go carts this year!!  Anna was so patient and sat in the stroller most of the time while the big kids got to ride the rides.  Bless her little heart!  She just goes with the flow while I drag her from place to place often skipping her naptime and adjusting her feeding schedule to accommodate whatever we are doing that day.  Poor baby!  It's no wonder second babies are usually laid back.  They don't have any other choice!
We had a quick lunch and went back for round 2 with the rides.  The weather held off and we were able to enjoy a fun day in Pigeon Forge!  It was great seeing the Townsend's and we're already looking forward to their next visit!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Wednesday was also Matt's 33rd birthday!  OLD MAN!!!  It's a good thing I'm around to keep him young!  We had a little family party that evening and this is one gift that he opened (proudly taken by KG Photography).  We're into photography these days and we don't have any of our pictures on canvas.  He was pretty excited AND I got a GREAT deal on it thanks to   www.groupon.com!!!

HAPPY 

BIRTHDAY

DADDY!!
