Happy Valentine's Day

We had a LOVEly Valentine's Day! The kids started the day off with a piece of candy...so lovely! :)

 

 

Then Sam and I went to school for the kids' Valentine's parties. I did miss my teaching days but was so happy to be a part of the kids' fun day.

 

This is Addie's class.

They "mustache" you a question...Will you be their Valentine??

 

Logan is a 4th grader and apparently it just isn't too cool to walk around taking pictures at the party. So, I will leave you with this picture taken BEFORE he headed off for a LOVEly day at school.

 

I would like to mention that a sweet girl in Logan's class asked if I would take her picture with him. He refused but I would like to take note.

Daddy/Daughter Dance



2012---Lipscomb Elementary School, Daddy/Daughter Dance

(Addie was a Kindergartner)

 

2013---Bethesda Elementary School, A Night with a Princess

(Addie is in 1st Grade)

I just love these sweet memories and Addie Rae just loves the reason to get dressed up and sparkle. She did come home and inform me (this year) that Daddy cannot do the Gangnam Style. I was just thrilled to hear he tried. :)

2012 Birthdays

Days and nights can seem so very long sometimes but THE YEARS ARE FLYING BY!

It has been a while...

Well, it has been more than one year since my last post. Why did I stop blogging? No specific reason but it all boils down to being a busy mom. Once I was a little behind, I gave up because I saw no hope in catching up. Now, I have had a change of heart!

I just spent some time looking through the many pictures and memories. It just makes me so happy to see the past 5 years of our life. Click on our very first post...First Timer...to see where this all began. I can't believe how little Logan and Addie were. It is just hard to imagine that we did not even have Sam when I started this blog. Now, as happy as it makes me to look through the blog, it makes me so sad to think I let the last year go by with nothing on our blog. It is unacceptable and I AM BACK TO BLOGGING! I want to remember it all. I see now just how great the blog is at letting me remember it all! So, readers who probably do not exist anymore, please visit often for your reading enjoyment...

2012 posts will be coming soon as I play catch up. They might be all out of order and mixed in with current posts. This drives me crazy and it is part of the reason I just quit. I like order. However, I am allowing myself to blog out of order...like it or not. Ready, set, go...

Christmas Eve 2011

This is definitely my favorite night of the year!

We went to church then came home to open one gift...

Sam got Lightning McQueen jammies...

Logan doesn't really sleep in jammies so he got a robe. He is pointing to his favorite snow village in this picture, the sport shop...

Addie has a great cousin who hands down great clothes and LOTS of jammies so she got a robe to wear with her favorite pair of jammies...

Twas the night before Christmas...

A Happy Birthday for Jesus

Christmas Day was such a fun, fun, fun day! Of course, the kids LOVE it because of the big guy who comes down the chimney but it's such a special day because it's the birth of our Savior!

Here is our day in pictures...

Santa came...

Addie was the first one up. Don't think Logan was quite awake yet...

Happy...

Happy...

He must have been good...

Santa was a success...

Paw Daddy got us a trampoline...(see Thank You Paw Daddy below)

Grammy and Papa Skip came over to visit...

Then Nana, Pop, Jon, Tonya, and kids all came over...FUN TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashton made frames for Nana and Addie...

Pop got a million dollar bill...

Nana got a snowman...

And we had a birthday party for Jesus...

And this is how we all felt by the end of the day...but I think I could have slept standing up!

What a fantastic Christmas Day we had! The kids are already making their lists for next year...

Thank You Paw-Daddy!

Paw Daddy,
We love the trampoline you got us for Christmas! We don't love it as much as we love and miss you though! These are the only pictures we have so far and there is a little video for you too! We beg to jump on it every day. So far, we have been able to. Not today though because it is cold...brrrrr!

Watch the video below first.

This is the 2nd part...

First part...opening the present from under the tree...

Thank you so much Paw Daddy! We are praying for you this week! Happy New Year!

Love,

Logan, Addie, and Sam
