Easter 2012

April 9, 2012 | family, fitness, running, Uncategorized

happy Better Monday! (Get it, Good Friday…better Monday?) Ok, so so not so funny. I tried. Either way, I hope your Easter weekend was a great one. Mine is still going, as Bobby is off work today instead of being off last Friday. Fine by me, three day weekend either way! Having the third day off makes a huge difference, don’t you think?

Here is a look at what our Easter weekend looked like…(and you can check out last year’s Easter Weekend, too.)

Saturday, we got up and went for a six mile run on the very steep bridge and back, and along the beach. it was windy, but a beautiful day, and we had a really good run. On the way home we stopped by a little farmer’s market.

Bobby bought some tomato plants to add to our garden, and we bought the most amazing garlic and olive oil flatbread. We put cheese on it and put it in the oven…oh so good!

That evening, we decided to go blackberry picking. It’s still a little early, but we were able to get some. We found a ton of them in both the empty lots next to us, so I know where I am going in about another week! (We got more than this, I just took the picture right when we started.)

We also visited with the Easter bunny. He couldn’t talk long, he said he had a very busy night ahead of him.

We planted the new tomato plants in the garden, and picked some flowers to put in vases in the house. I thought this one was really pretty.

We also did the traditional dying of the Easter eggs. If you know me at all you know I am all about traditions.

All done!

Yesterday morning, we went to church…and I was glad to be able to wear white shoes again.

HAPPY EASTER!

    That’s so cool that you guys dyed eggs! I haven’t dyed them in a long time. Looks like you had a fantastic Easter weekend, too!

    Looks like you guys had a great time! Our weekend was long with Friday off, and we went and saw The Hunger Games. Then Saturday I had a race (PR’d and got 3rd in my division!) and yesterday I spent the day at my aunt’s house stuffing my face. That, of course, led to a horrible night’s sleep and now I’m super tired at work!

    We don’t really celebrate Easter, plus we live pretty far from our families so we didn’t do anything. But I love your Easter outfit – it’s so perfect for spring!

    Looks like a fun Easter! I think I need to bring back the tradition of dyeing eggs! (Although, my family only stopped a few years ago!)

    I made Easter lunch for us and the neighborbors and then we hid eggs for the kids to find. It was such a beautiful day and I sat in the sun and soaked up the vitamin d.

🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atl 🏈🍊 Calling all Tennessee fans! Headed to Atlanta for the big game Aug. 30? Make Signia by Hilton Atlanta your home base (or your pregame headquarters). It’s the closest hotel to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Atlanta’s newest luxury hotel is packed with everything you need to kick off football season in style— a sports bar next to the stadium, a beautiful Lobby Bar for post-game drinks as you wait out traffic, a serene boutique spa and unbeatable game-day energy.

From rooftop pool vibes + @spasigniaatlanta treatments to cold brews + stadium views at @nestonfour sports bar — and  @capolineaatlanta (one of the best places to eat in downtown Atlanta) — you’ll be right in the heart of the action.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek

Summer photo dump ☀️ Emma Kate starts school Summer photo dump ☀️ 

Emma Kate starts school tomorrow, so I guess summer is officially over. 😭 It’s bittersweet. I’m excited to be back into a routine and fall is my favorite, but I will miss lazy mornings and traveling on a whim and not having to help with homework. 😵‍💫

Here is a carousel of some of my favorite moments. From basketball tournaments to travels down to south Florida and back, Atlanta, Asheville, Tuscaloosa, Pigeon Forge, and all the way to Disneyland, and my 40th birthday plus 4th of July, tiny house camping and Opryland for Bobby’s birthday, we packed a lot into the past 2.5 months. 

I never want to forget these special moments with my little family. Memories to last a lifetime that I thank God for. 🩷

Have your kids started school yet?
