Senior Flag Design

I was sent a sketch of what the seniors want their class flag to look like this year and this is what I designed and sent back today. They think it looks perfect... now I just have to find the time to sew it! (I'm glad I have until May to get it done!)

Cute Little Team

I took this picture during the team meeting after their game today. I love watching these little guys play basketball. They are so stinkin cute! Especially the one on the left. ;)

Swinging

Olivia hasn't used the swing in a while, but we still haven't taken it out of the house. She pulled up on it today so I put her in. She was asleep in no time. :)

11 months old!!!

I honestly don't know how Olivia is already 11 months old. Time is going way too fast!!! She is such a joy to have in our lives and keeps all of us on our toes because she gets into everything! She's as sweet as can be but still wakes up 2-3 times a night!!

Popular Baby

Since Jeremy and I both help with the Youth group on Wednesday night, Olivia is there with us. All the teenage girls love to take care of her while we are both busy. Caleb took this picture of her with one of the girls tonight.

Solis House

We are in the planning stages of building this house for a couple named Lee and Suzanne Solis. They came to us years ago and then decided to hold off on building. They are ready now and we are excited to be working with them again.

BWW

Jeremy took all the kids to Buffalo Wild Wing's for dinner tonight while I was at Bunko. A lot of dad don't want to take their kids out by themselves if they have 1 or 2... Jeremy does it with all 5!

My babies

I love spending time with my babies in my bed in the morning. It's usually just Olivia since Ethan is in school now, so him joining us today was an awesome treat.

Standing on her own

Olivia has figured out how to stand in the middle of the room on her own. She doesn't last long, but she has been practicing a lot. I have a feeling she will be taking off soon. :(

More Snow!

We have had snow on the ground for days and more keeps falling! Today the boys attached the sled to the golf cart so they could pull each other around.

Backpack Time

Olivia was being extra clingy today and wouldn't let me put her down. I decided to put her in the backpack so I could get some work done. She liked it for a while, but my back couldn't hold her for too long.

Snow Day!!

We couldn't live in a better neighborhood!! Ethan's 2 best friends both live here!! These 3 play outside together for hours, no matter how cold it is. :)

Little Pirates

Anderson Brooks came over to play today, they disappeared into the playroom for a while, then came out dressed as pirates. We've gotten a lot of mile out of these costumes... the twins wore them for Halloween when they were 3!

Merry-Go-Round

Ethan went to Opry Mills with the Winn's today. Raeann sent me this picture of him and DeLyla on the Merry-Go-Round. These 2 love doing stuff together!

Matilda Jane!!

I have loved Matilda Jane Clothing for several years and I'm so excited to finally have a girl to put it on!! I bought her several things before she was born and she is just now able to fit in most of it. Time to buy more! lol

Visit from Punk

My dad came up to visit for a couple of days. His wife, Tamara, is on a girls trip. Matthew decided to fix his hair tonight. lol

Brown Couch

Yoshi knows that he is not allowed on our white couches but always gets on them when we are gone. He left evidence today because it was raining outside. Ugh!!!

Messy Eater

While we were eating dinner tonight, Caleb hit his plate and most of his peas fell in his lap. He just sat there for a minute trying out what he should do to clean them up. It was pretty funny.

Princess Leia

I took Olivia's pigtails out and her hair stayed... she looked like Princess Leia.

Jumping Monkey

It was time for Ethan to take a shower and I swear he was bouncing off the walls and not wanting to get in. He's such a goofball (gets it from his granddad).

Prayers for Bro Tim

Our Children's Pastor, Bro Tim had surgery back in November and has had a lot of trouble since. It has gotten pretty serious so our church had a special prayer meeting for him last night. 

Update: Bro Tim is back to his old self and doing great!

Big Girl!

We went to Wendy's with Fred and Janet today and Olivia sat in a restaurant high chair for the first time. I guess she could have sooner, but we don't eat out much. lol

Japanese

The twins when to Hananoki with Matt after their hasketball game last night, Beth sent me this photo to rub it in.

Character Kid!!

Ethan came home with this note in his folder today... he got the Character Kid of the month for his class for Citizenship.With over 20 kids in his class and only 9 months in a school year, this is a huge honor. So proud of him!!

PSAT

Caleb texted me his PSAT scores today. His score was in the 98th percentile. This kid is so smart!

Blue-eyed Babies

Matthew asked me to take this picture of the two of them. He says they are my blue-eyed babies.

Helping with the Dishes

Olivia would not stay away from the dishwasher tonight while Matthew was loading. She was making him mad because she kept pulling stuff out. It was pretty funny.

Tutu Shirt

I made this tutu shirt for someone today. I think it turned out really cute, I love that the applique is 3-D.

Playing in her room

Olivia had a ball pulling toys out of the bins in her room while I put her laundry away today.

Elephant Ride!

Santa brought Olivia this ride-on toy for Christmas. She loves for the boys to push her around the house.

Minute to Win it!

We played "Minute to Win it" as a family tonight. Some of the challenges sounded much easier on paper! Jeremy and Matthew are racing to see who can flip all of their cards onto the table first in this challenge.
