Grilling/Jumping/Flying/Hunting

Wow, what a great week we have had. The weather has been incredible. I was able to get on my tractor and mow, which is one of my favorite things to do. The Bradford trees were in full bloom earlier in the week and are now quickly turning green. It is so refreshing to see springtime. Other than Buddy's allergies (pretty rough on him right now)
Last night was Nolen & Trevor's first time on the trampoline. It is so funny to watch Trevor's hair fly when he is jumping. Mitchell wasn't feeling real good, so he didn't do much jumping. John performed a few tricks for them. They then went to the front of the house and flew the kite, blew some bubbles and got their easter baskets, while me & mom hid the eggs in the backyard. Didn't take them long to find them. Nolen racked up with the most eggs. I don't put candy in them, just money, & they didn't all have the same amount, so not sure who came out the best on that. Then they had a water balloon fight. I think they all got Papaw pretty good. We then went up to the bonus room & Nolen & Grandmother played Connect 4. Kristin, John & Nolen played Twister. Mitchell didn't do much at all, (he just wasn't himself) Trevor & Papaw wrestled and Shelby just sat in the floor and blew bubbles out of her mouth. Her new trick .
We got the kids a trampoline for Christmas, but waited on the weather to warm up before we put it together. John & Kristin came a couple of weeks ago and put it together for us (with a little help of Mitchell) Helping mommy & daddy put the trampoline together.
First jumper High flying Our first almost major injury. John was turning flips and came right down on his head. Popped the neck pretty good. Mitchell loves his sister

Sunny Thursday

Nolen wasn't feeling well this week so him and Jamie stayed home. This week we had veggie stir-fry with choice of steak or chicken (or both), fried rice, teriyaki rice, ramon noodles, egg rolls, pot stickers & Krispy Kreme donuts for dessert. This is one of Craig's favorite meals. It was great seeing a beautiful sunny day finally. The grass is really greening up and it will soon be time to start mowing & planting the garden. The trees are budding out so yes, spring is right around the corner.
Loving the new time. The boys at least get to play outside awhile before dinner.
SWEET FACES


SILLY FACES
The boys love their cars. I bought them all a new one a piece this week, and they hardly put them down.

Shelby's Dedication

Shelby was dedicated Sunday. Pastor Andrew has dedicated all of our grandkids. He also married both of my kids. The Wharton family has been a big part of our family for many years. The dedication was very sweet and also Mitchell provided entertainment. Thanks to everyone that came to watch this beautiful baby get dedicated. What a precious gift from God. Thanks to the Gronda's for taking the pics for us.
Our sweet happy baby Shelby
Mitchell started out being very good. Pops, Grams, Pappy, Papaw, Grandma, PawPaw, Grandmother, Daddy, Mommy, Pastor Andrew, Shelby. Mitchell was in front of John (can't see him)




Trying very hard to be still. I think he has his (Jeremy) military face on here. During the prayer at the end, Mitchell couldn't stand it any longer. He turned into a Ninja warrior. I'm sure not a single person in the building heard the beautiful prayer Pastor Andrew was praying over Shelby.

Roses for Kristin and Shelby getting her first Bible. Shadow box that a gal at our church made for Shelby's dedication.
