Easter with the other Rees'

 

 

 

For the past couple of years we have spent Easter with Dave's brother, Scott's family.  It has worked out perfect.  We go to Atlanta one year and they switch off by coming out to Memphis.  It's always so much fun.  Scott and Kim are super laid back like Dave and I so it makes entertaining so easy.  We spent a day in Oxford which has become my new favorite getaway spot.  The kids had a blast together as they always do. Blake loves being around Carson and Sara around the girls and of course visa versa.  We were so glad we got to spend the holiday with our Atlanta peeps!!!

Guess who's 18months and ready for nursery????

Evan is really a good baby until we walk through those church doors every Sunday....for our sanity this was perfect timing. So far so good and of course treats are always a bonus!!!

SURPRISE!!!!!!

We are some lucky dogs around here....For Valentine's my Mom decided to fly us out to Montana and we decided to hide it from the kids until we got there. So I picked them up from school and told them we were headed out to the airport for a surprise vacation. They made a few guesses as to where we were going like...the beach, Utah, Madagascar & Australia haha!!! Well the girls obviously can read so when we got to Minneapolis for our layover they noticed the word BILLINGS on the board at the gate and they FREAKED out!!!! They put it all together and they were so excited...we were on our way to Billings to be with their cousins, uncles, aunts & grandparents for the week. Not just the Warnick's but Grandma surprised everyone!!!

This was our first time meeting Miss Emma...she is such a doll. We got to attend her blessing and Carter's baptism. So glad we were there to celebrate with the Warnick's for their special weekend. We don't get to do that too often anymore.

THE REEF

So Montana is just a wee bit chilly so they have the coolest waterpark there that is all indoors. The kids loved it!!!

Grubbing!!! Gotta love the free continental breakfasts.

Saying goodbye to the SnoShack with Alyson & a little mall action. Not much else to do in Billings haha!!

Surprise #2--Grandma MaryAnn picked us up from out layover in Salt Lake and we decided it would be fun to surprise Grandma Jim at his office---I'm pretty sure he was surprised!! It was fun to get to see them even if it was only for a few hours.

We had a great little Valentine's getaway. Dave and Carson didn't make it out with us but they enjoyed their "man" time together. Thank you to Grandma Shauna for the awesome surprise. The girls will never forget it!!!

Does not take after his Grandma MaryAnn.......

So ever since this little guy has been alive he has been afraid of the vacuum. It's the funniest thing. No other noises, machines, objects scare him but when I turn the vacuum on he goes running. It cracks me up each time. His little legs can't run and hide fast enough. So needless to say HE DOES NOT TAKE AFTER HIS GRANDMA MARYANN IN THE VACUUMING DEPARTMENT HAHA!!!

CHS DRAGON CHEERLEADING CAMP

We decided to finally "give in" and sign the girls up for the high school cheerleading camp. They had so much fun and were super excited when they found out that Morgan Bailey from our ward was going to be their teacher. They did so good and I was so shocked that the crowd at the basketball game didn't scare them one bit. They were so excited to be cheerleaders for a few days.....Daddy better upgrade to Captain soon if we have cheerleaders in our future haha!!!

Tara Oaks Elementary SOCK HOP

Say Hello to the Tara Oaks Hula Hoop Champ...Yep that's right!!! Miss Ryleigh won her schools hula hooping contest. We were so proud and honestly so shocked....didn't even know she was a hula hooper haha.

Ryleigh leading some of the older girls in our Ward in the "bunny hop". She thought she was so BIG!!

Here's the girls with some of their friends. We've been very fortunate to be involved with such a good group of friends and such a wonderful school.
