Easter basket time

Nana Karen and Poppa Bill gave Will his Easter basket on Saturday. He got a kite, pinwheel, paddle ball set, cookies, bubbles, The Ugly Duckling book and a wind up chicken. So Saturday afternoon after the festivities at the club it became a perfect afternoon to try the kite out.

Trying to fly a kite

Will decided to check out his pin wheel again

Daddy finally got the kite in the air and Will was so amazed by it

Then we spotted a bunny and gave it some lovings

On Sunday after church we headed over to Nana Lou and Papaw's house to see their Easter present to Will. He got a Mickey Mouse potty from them. Oh dear Lord, I think they are sending us a message :) 

Giving Nana and Papaw loving and thanking them for the potty 

Later that day we gave Will his Easter basket filled with two sound books and some new summer clothes

Easter Festivities at the Club

On Saturday we went to the Country Club with cousins Anna Grace, Anessa and Peyton to have a little Easter fun. They had an egg hunt, carnival games, and a magic show. Will had a great time playing games and enjoying the beautiful weather.

First off we found the Easter bunny and Will was not thrilled for a picture at all.

Then we found something to jump on but he wasn't so sure about it 

Then he spotted the fire truck and it was all down hill from there. 

We took a break from the fire truck and got a bunny painted on our face

Then Alecia, mom and I decided to snap a quick picture

Then Anna Grace got to play in the fire truck

And then Will escaped again to the fire truck and found something fun to play with

Then it was time for Easter egg hunting

He was proud of his 1 of 4 eggs he found. 

Then we stopped back by to have a picture made with the Easter Bunny and Will was smitten again! 

Grove Bowl Weekend

This past weekend was Grove Bowl weekend aka Red-Blue game weekend at Ole Miss and it was a little chilly. Will braved the cooler weather and we had a blast. 

Friday night we made it in town late so we opted for dinner at Oby's and late bed time. 

On Saturday at noon was the Grove Bowl  football scrimmage game. It was interesting this year because they changed up how the team scrimmaged and we got to see a lot of new football players shine. Needless to say we are looking forward to a great 2014 Ole Miss football year with a great team!!

Then we took a few pictures in front of the Lyceum where the tulips are blooming. In fact they are blooming all over campus and it is one of my favorite seasons in Oxford besides fall. 

Then we headed over to the baseball game where the Rebels were taking on Auburn in a double header due to the expected rain on Sunday. We did our very best to stay as long as we could but the weather got a little chilly so we opted for an early dinner at Old Venice and started to call it a day during the 7th inning of the first game. 

Baseball weekend in Oxford

The Ole Miss Rebels opened up SEC play against Missouri last weekend in Oxford. We decided to head over for the weekend. 

Friday night we made it to the game. Will again loved it. 

Popcorn and fruit loops were the foods of choice again. 

On Saturday we got to watch the football team scrimmage and we had fun. 

While we were eating lunch at Boure, Will didn't feel good so we checked his temperature and it was 101. He literally fell asleep on my shoulder while I ate lunch. We didn't make it to the baseball game but headed back to the condo for Tylenol and a nap for Will. After his nap he still wasn't 100% so we decided to head back home. 

On Sunday he felt a little better but later that afternoon his temp spiked to 103 and we immediately went to a walk in clinic where he was diagnosed with another ear infection and a bad cough. 

All in all he is much better. 

Spring Break '14

Will enjoyed a week of being spoiled by the grandparents during his Spring Break. The sweet lady who keeps Will doesn't keep kids during Spring Break because she follows the school calendar so we had to find another place for Will to stay because both of us had to work. 

My mom kept him Monday, Tuesday and Friday and of course they were reunited again since she used to keep him for me while I worked part time. They had a great time playing outside, going to Walmart, and sleeping. On Tuesday they had a play date with the Wilson twins, Jack and Emily. 

Then Papaw Penny took over on Wednesday and Thursday since he didn't have to drive the school bus. When you get these two together you never know what's going to happen. On Wednesday, all they did was slept, ate and played because it was rainy and a little cold. 

On Thursday they went "loafing." Will had a blast. He went to see the John Deere tractors at Scruggs, ate lunch with Nana Lou at Peppers, and went to visit friends at the Nicu! Plus there is no telling what else they did that I don't know of or didn't get a text about. All in all they had fun and that's all that matters!!

We are so thankful for fun grandparents that can take care of Will when times like this happen. He loves his grandparents a lot and they definitely do a good bit of spoiling and Will has got them both wrapped around his fingers. 

Thank you to our parents for taking care of Will and having so much fun with him during Spring Break!

Fun weekend in Oxford

The weather was pretty this past weekend so we decided to take a short weekend getaway to Oxford and take Will to an Ole Miss basketball and baseball game. We spent Friday night at the condo and had a great time. 

Saturday morning we got up early and went to eat at Big Bad Breakfast and met Doug's parents there. 

After breakfast we headed over to the Tad Pad since the Rebels were playing basketball against Florida at 11am. We all had tickets and Will enjoyed his first Ole Miss basketball game. Our seats were all the way at the top which gave us plenty of room with Will. He enjoyed watching the cheerleaders and the black bear. When Henderson hit a 3 pointer the crowd went wild and it was so funny because Will yelled and clapped too. He had a great time. 

Will intently kept his eyes on the game while he ate his vanilla wafers and a hot dog. Unfortunately the Rebels lost 75-71 to Florida. 

After the basketball game we walked over to Swayze field to watch a baseball game. We got season tickets this year so we are looking forward to many more baseball games. Our seats are right by the 3rd base side and Will had a blast!!! He met Rebel the Black bear, ate a tub of popcorn and had an overall great time. I see lots more baseball games in our future. 

We ended a wonderful day in Oxford with a great dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, South Depot Taco Shop, before we headed back home.
