On Friday, Brad's parents came through on their way to San Antonio, and picked up Mallory. Morgan was supposed to go too, but she has been sick since Tuesday with a virus/fever/cough. So, BMom and Pop took Mallory to San Antonio with them. They went to Aunt LaShay's church to watch their Easter performance, played HARD with Julia and Johnathan, ate at Chick-Fil-A, played with dogs and then conked out in the car on the way home yesterday. Apparently, it was a super fun and jam-packed 24 hours.
I didn't know what to do with only one child in tow! I didn't really get anything done, but it was nice to have a break from potty training!!
Saturday morning was Brad's alumni game. We missed the game (it was cool and overcast, so we stayed home since Morgan has been sick), but met everyone for lunch afterwards. The returners beat the alumni and Brad had about 5 recruits come in to watch also. It was a fun day! Mallory came home around 5 and got "readjusted" to life with Mommy and Daddy:)
This morning, our church had the Easter service at our Expo center. It was slightly odd sitting in a coliseum with cigarette butts under the seats and dust all over everything. But, it was neat to see the place packed out. This is the first year that Mallory has understood what happened on Easter. We went to an Easter pageant at Brad's work last week. Ever since then, she's been telling us, "Jesus died on the cross and got boo boos. Then, he came out of the tomb, and said, I'm alive! I'm alive!" Pretty accurate!
Oscar and Laura invited us to Laura's parent's house for lunch after church. The girls had fun playing with Maddie and the lunch was super yummy! It was topped off with red velvet cupcakes...mmmm!!! We really enjoyed being with Laura's family. Here's some pictures from after church today.
Outside of Laura's parent's home. My super talented friend, Sarah, made the girl's dresses!! I'm not sure if she wants the publicity, but she did a fantastic job on them! She hand smocked each dress. They may not be the most Easter-y, but I love them!!!
The girls with Maddie. It is entirely impossible to get 3 kids to look at the camera at once. Check out Maddie's triple decker bow!! She is the most adorable bow head I've ever seen!!! 
This is what I get every time I try to take Morgan's picture lately. Turkey!
Maddie in her pretty Easter dress. So sweet!

Cute! Those dresses look adorable...great job Sarah!
But now I'm completely confused as to who your children look like. In that family picture, Mallory looks just like Brad.
Sounds like a fun Easter day.
That was actually from Kelly. Although I'm sure he thinks the dresses are adorable as well. :)
The picture of yall 4 as a family is great. So glad yall came to lunch, it was fun!

those are sweet pics. I LOVE their dresses. After we left yesterday I realized I forgot to ask what they were wearing.
We loved the weekend. It was so much fun and the kids played so well together! Next we have to add Morgan to the mix. Thanks for letting us take Mallory!
Soooo much fun! Julia LOVED playing with her cousin. LOVES her......
They had a ton of fun.
Love the girls' dresses, so Shannon Bankhead style.
Can't wait to have ALL the kids together soon.
