Fun...Fun...Fun...

Wow...it has been a week or so since my last post and much has been going on with the Calvert's. We have celebrated birthdays, Easter, and even got to enjoy the beautiful weather and go for a boat ride. With that being said, this is a "catch up" blog...here are some pictures to document what we have been doing with our time the past few days.

Today (Sunday), we went for a boat ride with Billy, Katie, and Adam. Anna Lauren went on the boat once last summer, but she is old enough now to enjoy herself. She played and played on the boat and was such a good little girl along with Adam.

Adam and Anna Lauren just getting in the boat...wondering what we are going to do next...

Going down the slide at Jake's birthday party...she loved the tunnel slide and crawled up and down it with her daddy.

Thursday was Jake's 9th birthday. On Friday, we had a cookout at Brookhill in Brookhaven and celebrated his birthday. Happy Birthday Jake! Also, we celebrated another birthday on Thursday...Annie, our cousin, turned 2...she is in Spring Hill, TN so we didn't get to see her, but we thought about her on her special day. Happy Birthday, Annie!

Trying to get the kids to pose for a picture after their Easter egg hunt...these are our neighbors that we spend a good bit of time with and always have a great time together. Holt (bottom left), Adam (standing), John David and Anna Lauren (sitting on top).

Anna Lauren hunting Easter eggs...she seemed to know exactly what to do...

Dressed and ready for church...needless to say, we didn't get many pictures Easter morning because as always, we were just trying to get out the door and to church. For some reason, we have no trouble during the week, but on Sundays, we just cannot seem to get it together and get gone on time. Then after church, Anna Lauren is too tired to take pictures. O'well...at least we got a couple pictures...maybe we will try to get a family picture next year!

Checking out what the Easter bunny brought...

Dying Easter eggs...it was a family project and provided fun for everyone! Matt's grandmother was in town for Anna Lauren's birthday party, and she had a great time dying eggs with us. And MeMe was the artist...she painted on all the eggs.

Thanks to our sweet friends, we have fabulous pictures of Anna Lauren's 1st birthday party. Jennifer and Lisa (Two Sisters Photography) just happen to be good friends of ours and were willing to come to Anna Lauren's party and take pictures so that Matt and I could enjoy the party and not worry about taking pictures. Of course, as they always do, they went above and beyond and took wonderful pictures...we will always cherish these pictures and remember Anna Lauren's special day! It was so hard for me to pick some to post because they were all so good but here a few for you to enjoy...

Anna Lauren opening her presents...she was very interested...and especially in the paper!

A few of Anna Lauren's friends / cousins...she did not have one girl at the party to play with her...she has 9 boy cousins and most of our friends have little boys.

Proud Daddy and Mommy with the Birthday Girl...

Ok...I must admit...there were two more pictures from the birthday party, but I accidentally deleted them, and I am too tired to try to get them back into this posting. So...these three will just have to do.
