More Aquarium pics....

Ripley's Aquarium

Monday morning after breakfast me, Cecilia, & the girls went to the Aquarium then walked around in Gatlinburg. Gabi wasn't very fond of the sharks so she skipped those exhibits.

Gatlinburg Bound....

We left Jenn's right after the Easter egg hunt Sunday. When we got to our destination we checked in, refreshed, & headed out for dinner. Jenn had suggested the Old Mill Restaurant so that's where we ate. It was delicious.

HAPPY EASTER

We went to Jenn's this year for Easter brunch & an egg hunt. We had a good time & the food was really good. Last year Kayla & I were in Europe during Easter, although those were great memories it was nice to share this holiday with family. We missed Apryl & her family though. :-(

Addie had a rough morning but while we were there she was a trooper. All smiles! And of course, her "MaMa" had her dressed just so from head to toe, PRECIOUS.

As soon as the events were over five of us headed to Gatlinburg for a few days, the girls are on Spring Break this week.

Update....

I'm sorry I didn't post an update on Addie. She is still having a hard time, we're hoping she's feeling well enough to enjoy brunch & an Easter egg hunt Sunday. We're having the events at her house this year so she'll be "HOME" if a problem arises. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for our Sweet Girl.


The girls & I went to see the Hannah Montana movie this afternoon, too cute!

WICKED

AWESOME! Me, Kayla, & Toni went to see WICKED tonight. LOVED IT!!!! Thanks again TJJ!!!

Permit

The first time I took Kayla to get her permit we were rejected because of the time. This go round we gave ourselves plenty of time. She passed it on the FIRST try! She had some friends & a few family members who didn't think it would happen but she proved us all wrong. Now, if anyone wants to volunteer to take her driving you know where we live. :-) The pic is blurry, sorry. CONGRATULATIONS Kayla!!!

ADDIE

I went straight to Children's this morning when I got off work at 6:30. They didn't take Addie into surgery until 8:30 but we did a good job of entertaining her until then. Her surgery went well; they replaced both tubes, removed her tonsils & "conservatively" removed her adenoids.

When I left she was in her MaMa's lap asking ANYONE to take that IV out of her tiny little hand. :-( She has to spend the night & will get to go "HOME" around lunch time.

Please continue to pray for Addie. Her parents have stocked up on lots of popsicles, etc. but the next two weeks will be rough & the doctor said the greatest risk of bleeding is 10-14 days after surgery.

Love you Baby Girl. Get well soon.

XOXOXO

LVES Beauty Walk

Gabi's Elementary School had their beauty walk today. Gabi was nervous but she did well. She didn't place but as we told her it's not about winning, she had fun & she looked precious doing it. Of course DaDa was there; as well as Aunt Sue, Uncle Chris, Aunt Jenn, Julien, Addie, me, Kayla and Cecilia. Afterwards we went to Habanero's for dinner then Uncle Howard took Julien & Gabi to see Monsters vs Aliens.

Mary's back....

Gabi had an agreement with Santa, that if she was a good girl Mary could come back on special occasions. Mary was at our house last night when Gabi got back from Friday night dinner. Gabi had a beauty walk today & Mary got to be part of it. Thanks Santa for letting Mary share this special day with Gabi.
