I know I haven't posted in a couple of days but I am trying to catch up. I was blessed to help put on a tremendous event last Saturday called Lillie's Friends Birthday Blast. It was the kickoff of Lillie's Friends Foundation. Check out the website if you get a chance. http://www.lilliesfriends.org/

We really thank those of you who came out to have fun with us - Delane & Amy, Mike and Gwyn, Mom & Frank, Tim & Cathy, Damion & Kara. The kids had a blast with all of the fun and Delane took this picture that I think is so cute. Landon was on cloud 9 getting to hang out with Ben and Jackson so much. Ella and Eli had Nannie and Pops wrapped up and enjoyed getting spoiled with cupcakes, ice cream, pizza and one on one time. Eli was more interested in the pine needles than the eggs during the egg hunt. Ella was more interested in making sure the eggs had something in them. After the big event we got to hang out at home with everyone mentioned above.

Sorry if I was too worn out to be any fun but it was certainly great to take it all in. The day was gorgeous and such a blessing!

Outside of Saturday, Landon earned his orange belt at taekwando and he and Ella started swimming lessons. Landon is graduating up so fast I am trying to relearn my colors. Ella is psyched about swimming lessons this year which is great. Last year she was terrified after we made some mistakes in getting her in the right class. This year she skips all the way there and can't wait to jump right in. Her teacher is very complimentary about her progress. Luckily we have the same teacher as last year and Ella loves her. Landon is doing great in swim lessons as well and is excited that he has 2 friends in his class. I think this year he is going to be totally self sufficient in the water. That means me in the water nearby with Ella and Eli but not with all 3 hanging on for dear life.

Hope to post again soon with some more pictures.
