Our Spring Break trip back home to Louisiana was extremely busy, as usual. Of course, we had birthday parties for Levi (see this post); but we also had other exciting plans in the midst of them.
The guys took off in the woods with Pepaw’s Jeep, a four-wheeler, and a dirt bike; and somehow managed to get the Jeep stuck in a big mudhole.
Even Levi took his first ride on a four-wheeler with his Daddy.
Dana, Ma, Aunt Cathy, Mammaw, and I joined some other ladies for an afternoon of Pokino-playing. Lots of food, prizes, and laughs!
One night, Jeff and I left the boys with Nana & Pepaw (thanks!) and met Dana and her date for the evening, Ma, Mammaw, and my cousins Jessica and Katie, for a night of karaoke at a local restaurant. Good food, but even better entertainment!

Levi didn’t let a bad case of strep throat ruin his fun during Spring Break in Louisiana. With his birthday just a week before, we celebrated with more parties at Mama Nance and Daddy Wayne’s house and at the park. He unwrapped even more presents and ate a lot more cake. By the time that last party rolled around, Levi knew the drill and tore into his cake! For the other boys, Aunt Dana planned a fun game of Hot Potato and a really exciting relay race that ended with a Diet Coke explosion. Here are the last pictures of Levi’s first birthday. This boy knows how to party.

The Thursday before Easter, Jeff and I spontaneously decided to head back home for the holidays to surprise our family. So Friday night at 9:00 we pulled into my unsuspecting parents’ driveway, and boy were they happy!!
We spent Saturday with Jeff’s brothers and sisters cooking out, and all the grandkids hunted Easter eggs. I forgot the camera, but Jeff’s mom captured the fun. I’ll post pictures as soon as I get them.
After dying eggs, we had Easter dinner at Mama Nance and Daddy Wayne’s, where we also flew kites and hunted eggs again.
While in town, we also visited Jeff’s Mammaw and Roy, my Mammaw and Papa Don, Aunt Cathy and Jordan, and even Becky. Everyone was excited to see us, but even more excited to hold little Levi!
