Claire graduates from preschool!

 Always super excited to sing or get in front of a crowd...

 My girl is finished with preschool and off to kindergarten next year, hard to believe.

 Painfully hugging her teacher after receiving her diploma..Claire spent three years at Sea Island Presbyterian Day School, her teachers were wonderful and we will miss them so much.

 I let Jack and Caroline go late to school so they could come and watch, Claire finally gives me an excited face!

brotherly love..

Mall Scavenger Hunt

Caroline and her friend Merritt finally had their birthday celebration. They had a blast running around the mall during the scavenger hunt taking pictures and doing silly things. After lunch in the food court, they demolished the cake. They are just so adorable and fun to watch at this age, got to love tweens!

Easter fun!

 Preschool egg hunt!

 I love this picture of Claire's excited little face at our church egg hunt.

 All Brady wanted to do was eat the eggs..

This may be Jack's last year hunting eggs, he was almost too cool for it this year but jumped in there at the last minute.  Of course both of my older ones don't have a problem hunting eggs at home on Easter and would be devasted if the "easter bunny" did not visit!

Spring Break!

 SeaWorld Aquatica! We drove down to Orlando to enjoy a few days in the sun..

 Waterpark heaven..

 Shamu's show at SeaWorld!

Medieval Times dinner show.  The older three and their dad had a blast, not so much for me and the Brady...I looked assaulted when we left, food all over my clothes, hair messed up, shirt stretched from little hands constantly pulling at me. I can laugh about it, this stage will pass...and he is so adorable it is not even funny!

Caroline turns 12!

 First mani/pedi for our Claire Bear! The girls and I treated ourselves on Caroline's day. She turned 12 on April 3rd.

 Love how they provided the paper towel package to help. Claire was a little suspicious of the whole pedicure thing, she came around however.

 The Hyams' boys were with us to celebrate!

 She has officially outgrown her mother by 1/2 inch(so far), can't wait to see how much further she will go!

Happy Birthday my beautiful girl!

Hyams' boys visit!

 Keith and his boys came to Beaufort for 3 days over spring break.
