Pre-K Circus!

Anniston's preschool puts on a circus each spring.  She was assigned "Ringmaster".  It was a very big role in that she had 11 lines she had to memorize !  We began practicing in January, and she knew all of her lines by mid-February (she must get that from her Dadoo).

Here we are waiting on the show to start.  Had to get there early to get the front row !  PaPa and Treyson are paying games on Dadoo's iPhone here.

 Anniston's star in the lower left corner:

 The stage is set !

 Sweet little Ringmaster !

 Introducing the opening of the circus !

 Introducing the "tumblers"

 Here's her bestie, Nila, who was a tightrope walker !  So cute !

 She and Brady, the other Ringmaster, are closing the show

 And here is the entire cast of the circus !

 Here is Brady's (the other Ringmaster) understudy.  Treyson knew all of Brady's lines.  He memorized them to help Anniston work on her part !  How sweet is that !  The introduction is "Welcome to _____Pre-kindergarten Circus.  My name is Brady, and my name is Anniston, and we will be your Ringmasters for this evening".  So Treyson would say the intro with Anniston, then introduce himself as Brady, then continue on with the ending.  Seriously, what a great baby brother !

 Anniston and Nila

 Nanny and PawPaw R came up to see their little Ringmaster !

 So did MaMa and PaPa.  They were so excited to see their little Ringmaster !

 Family pic :)

 Anniston with Brady.  Yes, Anniston is tall ; however, Brady is on the more petite side :)

Anniston, we are so proud of you!  You were so great about memorizing your lines.  All of your hard work paid off !  I know that you and Dadoo are excited to talk about other things besides working on the circus on your way to preschool in the mornings :)  Way to go, Ringmaster!  You rocked the circus !  We love you !

Silver Dollar City

We headed to Silver Dollar City a couple of weeks ago with Uncle Todd,Aunt Melissa, MT, and CJ.  The boys had never been, so we were so excited to see what they thought.  

 I can't decide if CJ likes this one.  Hmmmmmm

 LOVING the little kid roller coaster.  Everybody except for CJ did Thunderation several times before we left the park !

 Little bit moist after the water log ride ! HA!

 Dadoo and Anniston on the big Barn Swing ! (notice it's mostly older people who are crazy enough to do this---not our Anniston !)

 Loving the Hoppy Frogs !

We love heading up to Silver Dollar City and making such fun memories with our kids.  We are so thankful for Nanny and PawPaw R giving us season passes each Christmas so that we can do this !

Easter (after church)

We went to MaMa and PaPa's house for hunting eggs/lunch after a great church service.

 ......and they're off!

 What a beautiful day for an egg hunt :)

 MT filling up his basket . . . . and notice Scott and Courtney behind Michael getting their boys to smile while sitting with MeMaMa in the rocking chair ---love it !

 Sweet little CJ. . . we told the kids to get 10 eggs.  The big kids were counting and CJ was walking around and picking up eggs saying "4" (then move to the next) "9"........just spouting out random numbers ---so funny !

 MeMaMa with her two littlest grandsons !

 Look who stole Anniston's basket !  Never a dull moment with our silly Dadoo !

 Not gonna lie . . . . have no clue which one this is !  We'll go with Scott's default "Buddy" !

 . . . . and the other "Buddy" ????

 CJ decided to go swimming at MaMa's

 Can you imagine what the people behind my camera were doing to cause EVERY SINGLE PERSON to be laughing and NOT looking at the camera? ? ?

 MeMaMa, MaMa, and PaPa with all of their grandkids ---I LOVE this picture :)

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and were able to sit back and celebrate our Lord who rose up again for our salvation!  What an amazing sacrifice He made for you and me !
