Thomas Family Pictures

We finally got family pictures with my side of the family. Lance's family was visiting from Nashville, so we took the opportunity to get a picture of our growing family. There was a lot of grumbling along the way, but we made everyone suck it up and smile. The end result is pretty great!

The whole Thomas family. There's a total of 22 of us now. 

 And these two love birds are the ones who started it all! :)

 The original 6.

 And just the kids.

 Grandma and Grandma with all 12 of their grandkids.

 Lance, Heather, Brooke, and Cicely

 Ryan, Sarah, Preston, Gage, and Brayden

 Darren, Meg, Cole, Hannah, Madison, and Sadie

 And our cute little family.

 Yep, we're all a little bit crazy, but we have the best family around!

Easter Part 1

We are one spoiled family and got to have TWO Easter celebrations this year. Lance and Heather were visiting from Nashville, so we had an early Easter with the Thomas family. We started out at dinner then went back to Grandma and Grandpa's house for our Easter Egg hunt. 

All of the kids were ready run around the yard!

 Brynn is so proud of her eggs.

 So are these two!

 If there is one thing the Easter egg hunt proves: The kids know how to find things and do it quickly if they want to. It took the kids less than 10 minutes to find about 200 eggs.

Then everyone went inside to see how much money and candy they got. Caden was hilarious because every time he would open one of his eggs, he would yell, "I got more money!"

 Lucky for Brynn! She found the golden egg and got $10 from Grandma and Grandpa!

 I think it's safe to say everyone had a blast this year!

 Thanks to my mom and dad for such a great Easter!

Caden's First Soccer Season is in the Books

Caden played in his last soccer game of the season. We had so much fun watching him play over the last few weeks. Caden LOVES soccer! He would get so excited every Saturday morning and rush to put on his soccer outfit. We were so proud to see how he improved in his first season. Caden started out running just a step behind every one else, but by the end of the season he was trying to get right up there to steal the ball. He even scored a few goals along the way. Here are a few pictures from his last game: 

 At the end of the game Caden got a medal. He was so proud of it, and we were so proud of him!

 This little girl might be a soccer player too! After the game was over, Brynn would run out on the turf and kick the ball around... she was pretty good!

 Both sets of grandparents attended every game of Caden's. We are so lucky to have such a supportive family!

 This particular game Caden's cousins, Brooke and Cicely, came to watch him play.

 We love our little soccer man and can't wait for Spring soccer!

Top Of The Mornin' To Ya!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Lucky the Leprechaun stopped by again this year to help us celebrate. 

 He left us a note that said:
Lucky, Lucky, Lucky me.
Today's St. Patty's and I like green.
Look around to see green treats.
I'm glad my pee didn't get on the seats.
Have fun at your party during preschool.
I got you a shirt so you'll look cool.
Hope you don't get pinched on this nice March day.
"Top of the Mornin' to ya" like I always say.

As soon as the kids got up they ran around the house to see what tricks Lucky played on us.

 He peed in the kids' toilet and forgot to flush... again.

 Everyone was excited for their green drinks and treats.

 Lucky turned our milk green again. The kids thought it was hilarious.

 I mustache you a question...

 Not yet ladies... this handsome, lucky dude is only 3.

 All of my cuties wore their green outfits for the day.

 Caden had preschool and got to make his own leprechaun hat. Plus they had a magician show at preschool.

What a fun day!

Frozen on Ice

Last year I got our family tickets to Frozen on Ice... that's right I bought our tickets A YEAR ago. But guess what? We had the best seats... 4th row baby!! Makayla dressed up as Anna and Caden wore his Olaf shirt. We were all so excited for the show to start. 

 Especially this little girl. She had no idea what was going on, but she was cheezing it up!

 The show was fantastic and so magical!

 Our favorite part was when Elsa sang "Let it Go"

 Intermission we took the opportunity to take a lot of pictures

 And eat our second bucket of popcorn (Caden spilled our first bucket as soon as we sat down).

 The second half was just as magical as the first. Olaf was so great.

 This little girl loved every minute of it. Well who am I kidding, we all loved it!
