So just like last year, the beginning of May brought several things: lots of rain, a cold snap, Mother's Day, and Brooke's birthday. We took a trip over to Lexington to celebrate the last two things, and luckily the first two didn't follow us. We had some gorgeous weather to enjoy there. And Brooke was showered with presents and adoration, so she had a fantastic time!
That is a pretty awesome view, huh?
Some of the storm damage. They had several big trees get knocked down. Can you say free firewood?
The craters were bigger than Brooke! I'd say those winds were fairly strong.
Sneak picture of Brooke!
We couldn't fit 31 candles on the cake and still have icing.
Gotta always get this shot! The happy birthday girl!
She got her wish! Wonder what it was for? Hmmm...
Brooke's favorite part: presents!
Katie came over to see what all the fuss was about and why all the fuss wasn't centered on her.
Twins.
I thought this was waist up, ignore the leg sticking out.
This tradition still weirds me out - Mother's Day is spent in graveyards looking at flowers. Here we enjoy the flowers for Brooke's maternal grandparents.
Sandra, her brother Jimmy, and his wife Sue.
This guy lived over 80 years in the 1800's - that's pretty good for back then!
Brooke's great-grandma? I think? I lose track after the third cemetery.
This dude was born before 1800! Crazy!!
Should I be concerned that my wife enjoys graveyards so much?
I don't remember why this was interesting.
Aww, brother and sister playing nice. And they match!! I think they planned their wardrobes for Mother's Day!

There is a really cool graveyard in Atlanta. We went there for a Ghost tour for my birthday. They even use it for events. I just heard they are having live music there.
