Twins and a Tot

    Well, even though I do try to blog daily now, I felt like I needed to do a big update here on the main site.

    Well, it's official, Aiden is a ball player! He got his t-ball uniform at yesterday's practice and he's ready for the season! His first game is Thursday night at 6pm! I'm so excited! He has been a little dramatic at practice, getting pretty upset when he hits the ball and runs the wrong way. Yesterday was pretty classic. He barely hit the ball so he picked it up on his way to first base. I was just excited that he went to first base! Last time he ran to the pitcher's mound. Anyway, he's gonna have fun. It'll be fine. They allow the parents to be on the field to help man the troops, so to speak, so I'm sure I'll be doing that some, too. Anthony is also playing softball on a couple of teams so he will miss a few of Aiden's games. In other Aiden news, he will start at Park Place Christian Academy this summer. I'm nervous and excited about it. Nervous because he's so little, still, but excited because I think it will be a good influence on him. And if we hate it, he'll go back to Kid's Stop. We love it there! The girls will be staying there until they turn 2 and then we'll probably move them to Sunshine. I am dreading it, but it's gonna be easier to do that than to send him to one side of town and them to anther side of town. Anthony will be taking all three to school! I'm a little excited about this! And I will be picking them up in the afternoons. I think this is a good mix for the kids. They'll get time to bond with us both. And it really is a bonding experience when you take a child to school, so I'm excited about the change.

    The girls are just hilarious now days. Prissy Miss Camden is such a girly girl and into anything and everything that has to do with jewelry or bows. Carsen likes jewelry, too, but mostly just because her sister does! They both are very territorial now. They fight over Mama, Daddy and Bubba if the other is getting too much attention. It's pretty cute. And they are (cue the fanfare) now in their big girl beds!!! I know some of you already noticed those pictures. It has actually gone pretty good so far and only a few nights have I heard the padding of little feed down the hallway coming to our room, and that was when Carsen was sick. 9/10 it will be Carsen who wants to get in the bed with me. The other one time it's Aiden, but he's pretty independent now. Camden really never wants to get in the bed with me unless she's sick.

    So we should start actually building our house within the month of April. I just don't know what to think! It's been so long since we've had a place of our own, so I'm just elated! I am already thinking of what colors I want to use and what syle I want to decorate. It's so fun! I'll try and update on our blog as stuff starts to happen. Now, we're waiting on the bank...literally. As soon as the construction loan is approved, we're good to go! WOOHOO!

    Our next fun thing (other than my house being built!) will be Camden and Carsen's b'day party. They will have a DORA party at Mom and Dad's on Saturday, May 24th from 2-4pm. We're renting a blow up water slide because the girls LOVE to slide! I can't wait! SO fun! I hope we see you there!!

    Oh, and congrats goes out to my cousin Zachary Bridges who is a senior at Pearl this year. He signed with Hinds CC last week to play baseball with them next year!! For those who don't know, Hinds has a great team and it's not easy to get on with them so this is quite an honor. The Bridges family has a history of being great baseball players, so Zach is just following suite. Can't wait to give you a big congrats hug, Zach! We're proud of you!!

    Oh, and for those who have followed Sarah Kate Gillette's journey, she is now home and thriving! Her mommy and daddy and big sis Ali are loving having her there with them. We're excited for them!
    Also, congrats to a few of our friends who are expecting:
    Lauren and Jason Morrow, who just announced they're expecting in September! Ashlynn Joy is their daughter and she is C&C's age.
    Heather and Jereme King who are also expecting and due in September. The daughter, Stella Rose, was one in February. Something was obviously in the water! I'm just glad I didn't drink it!!

    Love,
    Mandye
