Back to the Future

Our TV went out in the bedroom....

We had to move the TV from the kids' playroom downstairs to our bedroom...

I have gone back to 1985!!!!!

A Different Kind of Sunday

We started Sunday off the way it should start--in church. However, Caitlin and I went to a different church. That's because one of my babies I taught last year was being baptized at her church in Ardmore. Brooke, who is also one of Caitlin's good friends, had asked me to come to her baptism, and there was no way that I was not going to be there! It was a beautiful service with very friendly people who welcomed Caitlin and me the moment we walked in the door.

Caitlin came to school with me on Alabama/Auburn Day and had to have her picture made with her rival, Brooke!
After we made it home and had lunch with our boys, Ma-Ma and Pa-Pa surprised us with a little visit. They had been to see my Aunt Pat in Florida last week and picked up a few surprises for us!

Harrison couldn't wait to put on his St. Augustine t-shirt! It's a little big, but he'll definitely grow into it.

Happy Birthday Taylor!

On Saturday, we celebrated our good friend Taylor's 8th birthday with a party at Jump Zone. Taylor is a VERY special friend to us. You see, I was in the delivery room when she was born 8 years ago!! She and Caitlin have since become best friends, and she has a little brother, Alex, who is Harrison's best friend. We are very, very close to their family. Anyway...we had a lot of fun celebrating her birthday yesterday. Here are a few pictures showing just how much fun we had!

"Oh boy! A Target gift card!!"

"Wheeeeeeee!!!!!"

Banned from Tuscaloosa!!

Randy is banned from going to Tuscaloosa without me...EVER!!!! And this is why....last year I had major surgery. As I was on the tail-end of the recovery part, Randy took Caitlin to the Alabama A-Day game in Tuscaloosa. Just for the day. Well, Harrison got a fever that day and of, course, we didn't have any Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Motrin, etc. in the house. So I had to beg one of my friends to bring me some. Long story short--that little fever landed Harrison in the hospital for 2 nights with a bad case of pneumonia!! Fast forward to today...Randy has left for a coaching clinic in WHERE?!? Tuscaloosa. And I get a phone call at 2:45 from Ms. Rita, Harrison's most loved babsitter, that he's got a fever of 101!! All I can think is, "Lord, please don't let us be reliving last year's episode!" So anyway...that is in a nutshell why you will not see Randy Hollingsworth on the beautiful campus of T-town without his wife anymore!!!!!

Sunday Lunch

We just ate one of the most delicious meals EVER!!! On the way home from church today, Randy decided to fry some chicken for lunch because "that's what my Ma-Maw did every Sunday." I am not kidding when I say that was the best fried chicken I have ever put in my mouth. My Granny would be so proud!!!!
As we were finishing up lunch, we were thanking Randy for making lunch for us, and I asked them what makes Daddy so special. These were their answers:
Harrison: "He fixes things for me. He plays Guitar Hero with me, and he cooks for me." Sweet, huh?
Caitlin: "He doesn't steal things and go to jail." Now where on earth would she ever get that?! We are still laughing over here at our house.

McWane Center

Thanks to the recommendation from our friends, Heather and Jason, we visited the McWane Center on our BIG road trip to Birmingham on Thursday of Spring Break. It was absolutely fabulous! Caitlin and Harrison already want to go back! There is so much to do there that none of us was bored for a second--tired by the end of the day, but definitely not bored. In fact Harrison fell asleep within 5 minutes of leaving the museum. We ended up spending all afternoon there exploring the many, many exhibits. It was a fun day trip that we will most likely repeat this summer!

The dinosaur exhibit was a highlight with Harrison. They have a dinosaur dig area also.

Our future weather forecasters--just be sure not to wear a green shirt like Harrison or you will blend in with the green screen!

Harrison loved playing the BIG piano!

Getting blown away in the wind machine--it goes up to 80 mph!

Caitlin got to ride the replica of Leonardo da Vinci's high cycle. It was really cool!

Mellow Mushroom

On Thursday of Spring Break, we took a little road trip (Yea--now this is my kinda Spring Break!) to Birmingham. We stopped and ate at our favorite pizza place, Mellow Mushroom. It was such a nice day that we even got to eat outside. Nothing makes your food taste better than eating it outside on a pretty day!
