Yesterday Jeff took advantage of the beautiful spring weather and got some work done out in our woods.  I even went out and worked with him for a few minutes!  Other than that got some cleaning done, and then when they got out of school, met Addie and the kids in town.  She took Mason to get a haircut, and June and I went to the auditorium, so she could show me her artwork that was included in the district wide art show.  Here she is with her tiger – wearing glasses 🙂

Then last night we headed to the BMX track to watch Charlie race. Between basketball season and the cold weather we didn’t really want to brave, it was the first time we’d been to watch him in several months. That’s him in second place in the second moto, and that’s how he finished that race. He did a good job.

Last night we headed out to Bethany Elementary to see Clara and the rest of the school choir perform in The Lion King.  They were so cute, and just did a great job.  Clara is the elephant pretty much in the middle of this picture 🙂

Jackson took this picture of us afterwards. We were proud!

At least we’re hoping.  I took this Wednesday morning when I headed out to go to Gran’s house.  The deck was covered with about this much snow, and I did go through a couple of patches where it was coming down between here and there, but it didn’t last long.  And we were out working in the woods in our t-shirts today.  Ready for spring weather to be here to stay!

Tuesday morning I met Charlotte for breakfast, and then as soon as I got home Jeff and I headed to Rock Hill to meet Maxie and Diane to do some bowling.  The first ball I rolled was a strike – after that, about half of them were gutter balls.  Ha.  Great time, though.

Then that afternoon Clara helped me cut up fruit to take to my circle meeting that night – it was my turn to provide refreshments. She did a great job.

We celebrated A’s big day with lunch here Sunday after church.  All were here except Jackson, who was off on a golf weekend, and Jenny, who was working.  Meg and Mike joined us – it was a good time celebrating our baby girl 🙂

Started off the morning in King, where I helped out at the 9th annual Feed Stokes 5K/Half Marathon.  It was great having my nephew Nathan there running for the first time!

Then home in time for a nap before heading to Clara’s Biblical Studies Release Time pancake supper fund raiser, and watching her sing with her Bible buddies at Bethany Elementary. They did such a good job, and I am so, so thankful for this program.

We saw this little beauty sitting out on our blackberry vines first thing in the morning.

Clara and I tried some new cookies that day. Here she is chopping up gummies to use as decorations. She can’t eat them, because of her braces, but she had fun making the decorations, anyway.

Getting caught up on pictures from our busy week last week.  June and Mason came to the house after lunch and were so excited to find that Kimbrell had sent cupcakes home from her birthday party on Sunday for them to snack on.  Yum!

Then that night at church I got this picture during BIG, while Olivia was telling the story of David and Goliath. The kids just almost could not get any closer to her and the Bible both. It was such a good evening.

Last night was the annual Clover Middle School Chorus fundraiser.  I got there just as the kids were performing for the first time, and got this picture of Mallory when they finished up and she came to eat hotdogs with me.  They had just gotten their shirts yesterday, & I thought they were so cute!

And during their final performance. They did such a good job.
