Let's go fly a kite!

Although it seems for the last month someone in our home has been sick with something or other, we were able to get outside at least once recently to fly kites. The kids and Chris flew the kites and, naturally, Mom (aka your's truly) was the photographer. That's okay, though, I had a really good time laughing at them having so much fun!

Poor Baby

Not only did Sarah get alot of nice presents for her birthday; she also got a nice case of haemophilus influenza! Yay. My baby girl is feeling pretty rough, and it just breaks my heart to see her so miserable. No matter how old my kids get; when they get sick, my world stops. I know it's not just us, though, just about everyone you talk to has been sick or is currently sick with something equally yucky. Bring on the warm weather, please! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm dreaming of a beach vacation...

Paintin' the town...pink!

Sarah chose the Paintin' Place for her party this year. You can see from the pictures she had a blast! Mommy didn't mind going there either ;-)

Our little girl is 6 years old!

Everyone told us, when Sarah was born, to enjoy every moment, because time flies. Well, truer words have never been spoken! It seems like only yesterday I heard her first little cry and held her for the first time. The very first words I spoke to my baby girl was, "It's okay sweet baby, Mommy's here. Mommy's gotcha."


I loved my kids before I ever laid eyes on them. Now Sarah is bigger, but she'll always be my baby (and I remind her of that often). Today when she gets an ouchie I still hug her up and tell her," Mommy's here. Mommy's gotcha." My love just grows for my family everyday!

Snow Day!

I know it has been kind of pretty to look at, and the kids have enjoyed playing in it, but I'm house burnt and ready for the snow (and ice) to be gone! Fortunately, we haven't lost electricity through all of this. In fact, we've been the pitstop for many of my family who've been without heat, water, etc. So, here's hoping all of my blogging buddies have warm toasty homes to sit in tonight and blog! (Hope you enjoy the pictures I took to capture the craziness of this weather too.)

Just monkeying around

I was thrilled to get sock monkey houseshoes for Christmas from Granny & Papaw!

Better Late Than Never (Christmas recap)

Fearing that I was about to be kicked out of the "Bloggers Club," I decided it was time I got my act together, and posted our Christmas pictures...finally. Yes, it was a crazy, hectic time for us, but it was a lot of fun too. Here are a few of my favorite pictures and moments from our Christmas. Hope you enjoy, and I promise it won't be as long in between posts next time. Well, maybe!

Two words. Poor Santa!






No, Sarah. We don't take pictures of people getting out of the shower or before morning coffee.



I'll just help get you through this one part...




Someone gave you a what!!? Machete?!
