Beginning of Summer

I have been the most terrible blogger lately and I hate squeezing the first third of the summer into one post but, oh well here it goes. We paid a visit to the Huntsville Botanical Gardens for their tree house exhibit in May. We met friends there and explored the whole place.

We also went to Gulf Shores for one more good visit before the oil hit with Mammy, Granny, Birdie, Ginny and the girls and basically took no pictures... We had a great time and Mammy treated us to our first trip to Build-a-Bear where Caroline picked out "Panda" and decked her out in a Bama cheerleading outfit, tennis shoes, pom poms, megaphone, and cell phone. Dan, Caroline and I also spent a week in Destin with the Coulter's. It was heavenly, the grandparents were on baby sitting duty and I got play time with Caroline and relaxation time by myself.
(While there, Caroline ate shrimp for the first time of the summer and liked it!!)

During the Destin trip, we spent a suprisingly really fun day at Big Kahuna's water park.


And finally we had a great Memorial Day weekend hanging out at home and at Point Mallard!

Another Caroline Quote

Caroline and I had to run to Sonic to get some ice for a party. As soon as we pulled in, she told me that she wanted a slushy and some croutons. (She meant tater tots) I asked her if she wanted cheese on her tots like how Mommy get them. She replied, "No, I only like sweater cheese." I asked her to repeat herself and it finally dawned on me that she meant "cheddar". Love it!

Granddaddy

Caroline,

We lost your great-grandfather, John Charles Eyster, this week. It has been such a sad week for us because we lost such a great man that meant so much to so many people. He loved you so much baby girl. You loved to dance for him when he played the guitar and you loved to give him kisses. Noone that knew him has any doubt that he is now in heaven with Jesus, laughing and dancing and cracking everyone up. It breaks my heart that you wont remember him but I am going to strive to teach you about him and try to live more like he did especially in the regards of helping others and loving Jesus. Granddaddy, we love you and miss you so much...........

Gone Fishing!!!

Mom and Dad took all three girls fishing this past weekend. They were sooooo excited..here is a shot from the car ride there.

All three girls were able to reel in one fish each and that was all we caught!

Easter 2010

What a happy Easter!! It was the best one that I could ever remember! Caroline is at such a fun age and we had the most beautiful weather and so much fun with family and friends. The day before Easter was CRAZY but we managed to leave out our basket for the bunny to fill....
A shot snapped before church:

We went to my mom's house after church for a family lunch (around forty people!) and we hunted eggs and continued on with our family tradition of hitting the hard-boiled ones with a baseball bat after the hunt. Everyone takes a turn by age and Caroline was VERY VERY into it, as you can tell from the pictures!

We then napped and headed to Dan's parents house for more festivities. We hunted eggs again and ate and Caroline was so impressed by MeMe's homemade bunny cake.

An incredible Easter week was topped off by getting to see this little peanut again. He or she is growing away! Heart rate was 162 at 9 weeks, five days.

Egg Hunt Extravaganza!

The day before Easter, some of our good friends hosted one heck of an egg hunt. There were over 60 kids invited and I think around 650 hidden that were hidden. It was a blast! Caroline loved hanging out with all of her buddies and she really got into hunting this year. We can's wait for next year!
