Noelle set up all of Anna Kate’s toys for her to play with when she got up from her morning nap on Saturday.  It was so cute!

We love our Aunt Polly!!!

We all had to corral piggy balloons into their corrals with fly swatters.  Super fun, Rara!

Next was the stick horse barrel racing for the adults!

Cousin Regan and Anna Kate join in the excitement!

Good times.

I clocked in at 14.4 seconds, winning the event!  (who knew?)

I wish I had taken a picture of Cousin Linda’s prize table; she had prizes for every age group; all of us went home with something special! 

IMG_7838IMG_7839

Noelle’s first piñata – she had so much fun, especially cheering for the other little children saying, "You can do it!  You can do it!"  Super cute!

Nothin’ like a cowgirl in a barn sitting on an oven with a fly swatter singin’ her little heart out – now that’s country, y’all!

Church Carnival!

 IMG_7646IMG_7656

Saturday morning Mike and I took Noelle to a church carnival in J’ville.  She had a ball!

Noelle’s favorite part was the bounce house!

IMG_7660

The highlights of the carnival were a fire truck with its ladder fully extended, and a helicopter that landed in the middle of the field of eggs for all the kids to see.

Noelley gets cozy in J’ville!

Noelle, Cash, and Brother Man were spending some quality time together watching…

Barbie in a Mermaid Tale!  (insert excited girl squeal here!)

IMG_7626

Here’s a picture of the delicious and festive bunny cake Noelle made with Aunt Sharon.  Sharon kept BOTH girls over night last week, so Mommy and Daddy could go out on a date.  It was a FIRST, and we had such a blast (although a Hobby Lobby run goes without saying to start all dates these day)…lol… THANKS PRINCE FAMILY for loving on our babies and making them feel super special!!!

*Tons of Easter pics to come.  We just got home tonight, so it’s going to take me here and there all week to get them up, but the blog really helps me keep the photos edited and organized, so I’ll get it done at some point.

Grandparent time with Anna Kate!
