The Tyre Family Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Pictures This one turned out the best!

All the Tyre Grands

This technique wasn't really working like we had hoped!

Every year we get together the Saturday before Easter and have the Tyre family Easter Egg Hunt!

The kids had a great time but I think they were more excited about getting to go swimming. We had only a couple dozen eggs for these kiddos and they didn't really care.

As soon, as the hunt was over they were jumping into their swim suits! But thats okay! We got our pictures and they were having fun.....thats all that matters.


God is so good.....ALL the time,

Happy Birthday Cory!

Easter weekend brought lots of fun and excitement around our house. None more exciting though than Daddy's bday!!! That night we had a pool party at his parents house. The water was perfect, the food was delicious, and the fellowship was great!

I am so thankful for my sweet, loving, and good-lookin' husband! I am truly blessed to have him as a husband and best friend!

Hope you had a great birthday babe!

God is so good to give me another wonderful year with Cory,

The Pre-school group along with ACA's Honor Society stopping for a pic

It was the last day of school before spring break and what a way to go. Easter egg hunt and lunch at B-King! The Honor Society at ACA helps every year hide the eggs and then helps the kids find them. I remember when we did this with CJ and now we're doing it with VK!

Whit even got to participate!

We are so blessed to have ACA. And I am so blessed to be able to attend my girl's functions.

Girls Trip to Charleston

I have these three BFFs from college, Mandy, Erin, and Jennifer. We were all roommates at ABAC and have been the best of friends since then.....goin' on 12 years now! WOW!
So every year we manage to get together, but since we've had kids its always with them. The last time we ALL got together without children was right after Lila Rae died and we took off to Nashville. So three and half years has gone by and we decided it was time for another girl trip before someone has another baby...haha! So Charleston it was!
I had never been and oh what fun we had! We got a FREE suite, downtown Charleston, thanks to Jenn! It was beautiful! The city is just gorgeous with all its beautiful homes and gardens! I just love the southern history with it all. I think I could live there!
We had some trials getting us all there and then Erin and I had to come back early (youngin's ;>) Nevertheless, we managed to have a FANTASTIC time together, as always!
Here are some pics from our trip. Mostly we planned everything around what restaurant we were eating at, or what tour we were going on. There wasn't much shopping on this trip except for the market. I just loved Charleston and I can't wait to take Cory back there...he will love it! And I just love my girls and I can't wait for ALL the memories we're going to make in the future!

Mandy and Erin at the Crabhouse...yum. yum!!

Jenn, me, and Erin at the Battery


I just LOVE this pic...we had a professional take it...seriously!

This house is waterfront and is the most photographed house in Charleston.

We toured this house (I can't remember the name) but it was AWESOME!!
Most of the house hadn't been changed since the 1800's. This was the best tour..by far!!

Overall, we had a great trip! Learned ALOT of stuff, made wonderful memories, and got to see a beautiful new city! Ok, girls were is our next trip too? And remember we're all about planning around babies so it might be a couple more years!!





God is so good to give beautiful friendships that bless my life everyday,

We're Back! Sorry its been awhile!

So the last post I made was over a month ago and what a month it was!!! March was a crazy month filled with lots of emotional and spiritual tests. We haven't made a complete decision about our future home but God continues to show us His way everyday! I have stopped asking for an escape in our future situation and started letting Him just lead me. This is a very difficult task for me, as I am VERY much independent.
LOTS and LOTS has happened in our family this past month. All kinds of activities, including Cory's birthday and Easter. We are on spring break right now and so I am going to try and get us caught up with posts. This is the longest I've been without posting and I hope it doesn't happen again. This is tough trying to get back going.
So here we go...........................................

St. Jude's Trike-a-Thon...ACA Style

On March 26th, Vera Kate's class at ACA participated in St. Jude's Children's Hospital's Trike-a-thon ( i think i might have put too many 's ;>). They had a blast! Whitman and I got the opportunity to go and take pics and cheer our Vbug and friends on!

Vera Kate did an awesome job! She definitely had her game face on! She won her race both times. She was so excited!!

Waiting for the Trike-a-thon story to finish

Jesse Durant was ready to go too!
