Snow Days in Feb.

We had another snow day on Feb. 9 (got out early) and Feb. 10th. We didn't stay out near as much...guess the new/fun wore off. We didn't even make snowcream. It was still super pretty thought. Below are a few picutures.

Trying to catch a snowflake :)

Ella Kate's birthday party!

Ella Kate had her birthday party at the gym. Thanks to Mae Mae it turned out really cute. She had a horse theme. The kids played basketball....lots of fun, and they loved breaking the pinata.


This is a picture that I found from when KK and JC were visitng last. They were all playing the Headbandz Game. !!!! Ha!!

Now on to birthday pictures.....

Standing in line for the pinata!!

So until next time............I hope you find much JOY!

Where Do I Begin?

We have been doing great....staying well....staying busy.  This post will be choppy and going in all different directions.

Ella Kate played Upward this year for the first time and loved it!!!!! I never did get any great pictures. (I have got to get a new camera!!!!) She listened and learned all she could. She did whatever anyone asked of her.

Emma Klaire got her first hair cut in Jan. Allison cut it.  Once Emma Klaire realized it wouldn't hurt...and she was promised ice cream with m&m's all was well. Ha!

What a sweet "mess" !

Elizabeth Grace came and played one Saturday. Ella Kate and Elizabeth played Cupcake Wars! Yummy!

On Ella Kate's 9th birthday she opened her presents from us and then headed to school.

After school we went to Nana's for supper, gifts, and cake. Elizabeth Grace got to help us celebrate because we then had to go to cheer/tumble.....very busy birthday!!

Ok...I still have more...but got to do mama things....which I would never trade for anything. Hopefully I will get to finish tonight. 

So until next time.............I hope you find much JOY!!!

A Quote from Emma Klaire :)

I asked Emma Klaire to help clean up .................and she said, "I'm gonna sweat!" Ha!!! 

sickness, baby showers, a late Christmas, and birthdays

This past week Ella Kate has been sick. She missed three days of school and KK's baby shower! It was so sad. She had been looking forward to it soooo much! Kk is doing great as is baby girl Covey! (of course JC is awesome also)   Friday Emma Klaire and I got to see them for a short time. Saturday we went to Aunt Bobbie's for KK's baby shower. Emma Klaire wanted to know if Aunt Bobby had a shower and if we were going to get into it. HA!!! So cute. The shower was a success...pictures below.

After the shower we went to Nana's for Christmas. A late Christmas, but Christmas nevertheless. (IS that a word?) We also celebrated Ella Kate's and Kk's birthday. Pictures below.

I still haven't put pictures up of Pepaw's and Memaw's Christmas...one day soon I hope.

So until next time..............I hope you find JOY!!
