This would be grand!

I would LOVE to have one of these! Check out the details!

Cousins

These are the Spriggs cousins. My inlaws acquired two daughters-in-law and 5 grandchildren in a matter of 2.5 years! We are keeping them busy! :) Carston - 6.5, Camden -27 months, Brayden - 22 months, Caroline - 12 months and Brylee - 8 months! So, Grandma and Grandpa...when can you babysit?

Pink Party!

Caroline's party was Pink, Pink, Pink - with tutu's, tiara's and did I mention pink? It turned out well - despite my stressing over it for weeks!


Caroline got a kick out of the kids standing around her singing to her. She just grinned at them!

After several minutes of her daintily picking up small pieces of cake, she decided to just go for it! Not so lady like - but sooo funny!

Here is a shot of the cake/cupcake display! I am really happy with how it all turned out. I had never done a cake of that sort, so I was nervous about doing them, but I learned a lot and already have some ideas for the boys' parties!

And little Miss Caroline with her two big brothers. All in all, things turned out just fine! Thankfully, our next birthday celebration isn't until November!

Peanuts and Cracker Jacks

Another season of baseball is upon us. Carston is having a blast. He really loves baseball!



Here is Carston (#6) getting ready to field a ball! The little one behind him, is such a little cutie...but this is his first year playing!

Carston, examining his ribbon. This was from the pre-season tournament.

This year I have two toddlers to keep track of. Thankfully, Camden thinks he is part of the team. He wears his uniform, sits the bench, yells "Good Job!" periodically, and shakes hands after the game!

Here is Camden checking out his pre-season ribbon! Good thing he is satisfied with sitting the bench - I am sure this will be the last year that this position is suitable to him!

Here and There

With school days winding down and the weather getting nicer, we have been on the go. Carston had his Kindergarten program. It was so cute (I am partial, I know)! All of the classes (6 in all) worked all year to prepare many songs! Carston is the third one from the left in the front row - so handsome!

They sang, they danced, and they had a great time!

Then, we went to the zoo. We had some super warm weather (80's) for a few days and we took advantage and spent a day at the zoo.

We got to see the new baby elephant, too. He was really sweet! I have always taken a picture of Carston with this little elephant statue each year, from the time he could stand independently near it. He sure is getting so big!

Here is Camden's elephant picture for this year as well. I didn't try to get Caroline out of the stroller and propped up...maybe next time!

Happy Birthday Princess!

Caroline, You are one today (5/2). I can hardly believe it! It doesn't quite seem possible that we have had the privilege of having you as our daughter/sister for a year now. You are such a sweet baby and it is exciting to see more of your little personality each day. You are such a happy baby and you love to be loved on. You love your brothers so much - you grin from ear to ear when one of them walks into the room. So many things about you are so girly - from the way you tip your head to the side and smile, scrunch up your nose, squeal, and twirl your earrings. It is so fun to have a little girl in this house. We love you so much and look forward to many more special memories with you. Happy Birthday to my Sweetest Caroline.
