New Neighbors

We were so excited to have a beautiful February Day to play with our new neighbors, Jackson and Eliza.  Yes, that is Coalson and Blake teaching Jackson to "Dab"!  Then, they are all playing a good old game of Duck, Duck, Goose.  The Classics are the best!

Pizza and movie night!

Kevin was gone to Memphis so the kids and I made some memories!

Wells Fargo Tournament

Delaney got her first trip to see a golf tournament with the boys.  They all enjoyed it and had a beautiful day!

Memories...

Just a few fun April memories around the house.

Birthday Bath

The last bath for all 3 of them together!  

Monster Truck Show

Blake and Kevin went with David, Pam, Coalson, and Peyton to the Monster Truck Show in Charlotte today.  They got to celebrate Coalson's 7th birthday while they were there too.  Blake had a great time and wasn't scared of the noise too much.

Fun in the fall!

Underwater summer

We spent most of our summer underwater it seemed. Today it was with cousin Kaitlyn and friends Bailey and Carter Odom at their brand new pool.

 

Ariel

We had another session with Shelby on Ariel today! I think Delaney has found her calling! Kaitlyn got to experience too and loved it!

 

Steve Weeks concert

We had the honor of having Steve Weeks perform at OBC for the preschoolers this summer. He was so much fun for the kids, and adults!

 

Sunday School Slide

Each year our Sunday School class gets together and has a great time on a blow up water slide, this year was no exception, we enjoyed time together with friends listening to the kids squeal together on the slide. I took Lilli Jane down for her first, and second, time. She hated both times!

 

Table hammocks

This sheet is the favorite toy in the house right now. It's a table hammock, a blanket, a parachute, a tent, a mushroom cover, and many more things. They love to be pulled around on it and hide. An easy, cheap toy!

 

Sweet kids!

Thank you God for these three miracles! I promise to love them and cherish them and teach them about You! Thank you for blessing us with them!

Games

We have been playing a lot of games lately. This one the kids played by themselves today, it's possible now, I can't believe they are grown up enough to be able to do that. I was nursing Lilli Jane while they played and guiding them, but not much.

 

Later, Kevin and I brought out Yahtzee, a game we loved to play before kids. I believe the last time I remember playing was in Las Vegas, or on our way, to get Blake. I miss our games nights together. Having them with the kids is wonderful, but I love to date my husband, even a home date.

 

A full Saturday!

We had a full day today! It started at 6:15 when everyone woke bright and early. I took the girls to th lock in by 7am and Kevin got Blake to his basketball game at 7:30 for pictures before his 8:30 game. He played great, he used wonderful teamwork, passing and dribbling, shooting when open, but not just throwing it up. I was so proud of him!

Lilli Jane made it longer than I expected, but we ducked out early and she was asleep before we left the parking lot.

Kevin took the kids for a treat after the game while I got laundry started and ate a little breakfast.

Then Blake and I left the house again, in the pouring rain, to head to watch Peyton's game, then run an errand to Target. We came home, wrapped presents, showered, and were out the door to the 2 birthday partisa t the bowling alley...Coaslon and Sophia. Blake went back and forth between the two.

He bowled with Coalson and ate lunch with Sophia's group. He sang at both parties and ate a cupcake at Sophia's. I enjoyed his at Coalsons.

 

I believe Sophia and Blake are very similar in their personalities. They both love to be fun. Blake likes to make people laugh and Sophia loves to smile and laugh, she is so full of joy!

We grabbed a ride with David over to the Winthrop games since Kevin left with my keys when he took Lilli Jane home for a nap...it's still raining at this point. We popped by to say hello to Allen Ullrich who was having a birthday party at th game. Delaney hung out with her boys from church for a little while.

We went to visit Big Stuff.

Delaney was excited to find some girls behind her not interested in the game either. She helped make bracelets with them. They were so nice to her.

Kevin came to pick us up about 4:10pm and we went to get my car and head home for the evening. He found some stuff in th fridge to throw together a yummy, healthy shrimp pasta meal with cabbage! It was excellent, I couldn't get enough cabbage. I planned the dinner menu for the week, opened mail, we all cleaned up, played a game of Shoots and Ladders, did a little more laundry, cashed out our piggy banks ( getting a check from me to put in the bank), all before bath and bed at 7:30.

We had some tired kids tonight for sure! I am one tired mama! Kevin got nap times with Lilli Jane today, so he's using his energy to watch some football with Chris Fisher...I am finishing this blog, so I don't forget the day, then closing my eyes. Goodnight!
