Battle of the Books County Winners!

Grandma and Grandpa Smith sent the girls flowers from Russia! They had their regional BOB competition. Their team easily won the county competition, against 20 some other teams! They have worked hard to get ready - if reading awesome books is hard work! The regional comp. they got 2nd and were pretty disappointed. They felt like they could have done better - but I am so happy they were a part of the team. Man I love these girls!

Spring Break Beach

Gram and Papa came for Spring Break and we went to Emerald Isle. Our cute coral colored rental is in the background of the picture. We had so much fun! The weather was cool and sometimes cold. Luke and Grace still got in the water, crazy kids. The beach was beautiful and mostly empty of people. I love the Outer Banks for that. 

 
Jason, Papa and the boys went on a fishing charter. They had a blast and caught a ton of fish. We had yummy fish dinner when they got home.

This is Grace. The water was freezing, but she had to get in. I was in my down coat on the beach and she was playing in the waves. Luke got wet but didn't last anywhere near as long.

 

Good times! I am sad I didn't get a picture of everyone, especially the kids with Papa.
