One of the many highlights of our trip back home this past October/November was being able to visit family. We were so happy to be able to stay with family as well, too! While home, we stayed with my sister and her husband and their brood and also with my mama. I loved being able [...]

While we were home on a visit this past October, we went out to my dad and step-mom’s place. The kids LOVED being out on the farm and visiting Papa Cow and Nana! It’s so peaceful at their place. In the morning, we went out to the horses and the kids got to feed them [...]

We just had a birthday party for our oldest daughter. I told her she could invite about a handful or so of friends over and that’s all she knew until the party. It was a great time! I loved having the moms stay and hang out and Bailey LOVED having some of her friends over. [...]

We recently had Piper’s birthday party at the pool. The weather was perfect and we were so blessed to have a bunch of her friends, new and old, come to celebrate! Happy birthday, Piper Sue!!

I can’t believe how quickly this school year flew by! It feels like just a couple months ago that I was dropping the kids off for school and being worried that Justice may not remember how to get to his classroom. Of course he wasn’t worried and he was certain he didn’t want his big [...]

I haven’t blogged in a while for a legitimate reason. About two-ish weeks ago I found a little bump on my leg. I thought it was an ingrown hair, so naturally I picked at it. I also thought it was healing just fine…I was wrong! I called Brandon on a Thursday and asked him to [...]

Last night it took Bay and Just FOREVER to actually get to sleep. They both wanted to sleep in their school clothes so they would be ready as soon as they woke up in the morning. After about 5 whole minutes of explaining why they couldn’t do that, they settled with laying the clothes out [...]

Sometimes the best thing to do is just stop what you’re doing and dance. Take it from my kids. They know! I’m pretty sure this was the beginning of jazz hands. After dinner they immediately went to their room and put on a lame cd…I mean a lovely cd that they adore and are entertained [...]

The kids were SO excited yesterday when our doorbell rang. They knew it HAD to be the package that Grammi Becca had sent. They’ve been waiting for it everyday since she told us she sent it and it finally arrived. You should have seen them. It was like Christmas in June! It was awesome. Thank [...]

We had some friends over for dinner last weekend. The kids were SUPER excited because this meant they definitely got to have ice cream! I was excited to see friends and enjoy some killer wine. Anyway, Piper especially LOVED the ice cream. Bay apparently couldn’t get enough either. ; ) Then, on Monday morning I [...]

It’s spring break this week and all three kids are home. It’s been a super relaxing week. We don’t usually watch a lot of TV, but this week has been filled with cartoons and XBox. Brandon took out the old XBox and taught Justice how to play Halo and a few more games. It’s a [...]

So, Bailey lost one of her big front teeth on Christmas Eve. Her papa pulled it for her and the other front one has been super loose FORVER, but she won’t let any of us pull it. She INSISTED that she wanted to pull it. Finally, on Monday night it was so loose that she [...]

Bailey lost her front tooth on this Christmas Eve. She’s been wiggling it all week and hoping it would come out on Christmas day. She got her wish one day earlier!

Over the past week and a half or so, our son has been not liking his preschool. He started the year off doing well. He liked his class, his teacher, and most of all “the park”. Well, he recently has been saying that he doesn’t want to go to school and that he wants to [...]

Halloween 2009 Here are a few pic’s I snapped … well all except the first one Kate took. Nothing like inflatable slides, bouncy houses, tons of sugar, and some beautiful sunset light to make a great night. Bay got brave and decided to try the rock wall. Kate and I were dumbfounded by this deviation [...]

This past Saturday, Bailey and I were in the Red Wagon Parade downtown Jacksonville. Bailey was Pippi Longstocking and I was supposed to be a pirate, even though I don’t look like it. It was a part of the Jax Kid’s Day which was benefitting Wolfson Children’s Hospital and it was a blast. Lot’s of [...]

So, last Thursday Bailey came home from school and had some goldfish crackers for a snack. After she finished she said, “Mom, I think my tooth is loose”! I felt it and, sure enough, it was quite loose. Ever since she was born, I always said that pulling teeth out would be Daddy’s job. I [...]
