Spring and into Summer...

Lots to update since February! We took a trip down to Atlanta for Easter in March - had a great 1st day there and then we all got sick (our fam and Kel's)! Was really brutal - definitely not the Easter or trip we had hoped for. In April Sam started flag football - he really liked it. In his last game he made an interception and scored a touchdown (thankfully Nana and Pappaw saw it!!). I had Ben at a bounce house and Joe was gone for training. Sam is also really into Taekwondo now! Started sometime in Jan or Feb. Got his yellow belt and now just got his green belt. Really loves it and is very good at it. We're trying to convince Ben to try, but he is definitely not into it! =-) End of April and early May was birthday celebration(s). Celebrations definitely plural. Can't believe our boys are 4 and 6! Sam had a great birthday at school and then we went to Donatos for dinner and the Web. We had planned to go to KI for Ben's day, but it unfortunately was freezing cold and rainy. Still had a fun day and went to Jumpin Jacks! We had 3 other parties - one with Robertson side, one with Smith side and then one with their cousins and friends at Pump It Up! Wow - was party central around here for a solid 2-3 weeks =-). Dad got his new job and was unfortunately gone for his birthday but we celebrated before he left. End of May was end of school - Ben graduated from his 3's Zebra class and Sam graduated from all-day kindergarten. I think both of them were a little sad (and so was I at their end-of-year parties). Ben's "best buddy" as he likes to call him his Greyson. Sam's best buddies are Austin and Kaleb. We just got back from the Outer Banks - had an awesome vacation! Sam said his favorite parts were getting to drive a go-cart, the ocean and pool. Ben said his favorite part was the pool, ocean and playing in the sand. Awesome having GiGi there for the first time! Week went too fast!
