9 months!


Our little sailor is 9 months!!! Where is time going!!  He's not allowed to grow up this fast!!  He is on the move for sure...his belly isn't officially off the ground but you can be certain that he will get wherever he wants to go! With a little scoot and a roll, he is off!  Thankfully, he's only gotten stuck under the bed twice! Hahaha!!! I looked over and saw little toes poking out....with a little squeal!  He can pull himself up to his knees and likes to stand on his little feet if we help him! He loves splashing in the tub and loves eating!!  I haven't found a food that he doesn't enjoy!  And oh my!  This boy has an appetite!  He may be a little fella but he eats like aman! :)  he has established quite the reputation for himself as being "the best baby ever"....seriously...he is!  Every time I pick him up from childcare...or from a babysitter...they go I and on about how sweet and easy he is..precious child!!  He recognizes his nAme and calls everything "dadda."  He loves his big brother and sister and giggles at their funny doings!  He's a continual joy to our family and his smile and tender disposition is a blessing to all!

A Fire Truck Party


Jackson had the toughest time deciding on his theme for his party this year....he was set on a "choo-choo" party until a few weeks before his party!  He quickly decided that he would much rather have a "Fire truck" party!! SO...a fire truck party is what we did for our little man...
















We met friends at our local fire station that is just 1/2 mile from our house!  They graciously gave us an hour tour....which the kiddos and adults thoroughly enjoyed!


Everyone had the opportunity to sit on the fire truck!



We learned all about fire safety as well as lots about the different engines!


We even got to meet a real fireman!


Tucker loved the festivities...


Such a fun group of friends...


After our tour, we headed back home to enjoy cupcakes and presents!



It was such a fun day of celebrating!! I'm pretty certain it far exceeded Jack's expectations. ;)
















A Frozen Party

For the past year, Bella has been planning her "Frozen" party!!  We alternate years for friend parties....balancing them with more low key celebrations.  But, this was her long awaited friend party!!  I have to admit, I had so much fun planning it and we pulled off a pretty fun party after all! :)






Our table of festive snacks...




A sweet friend of mine taught me how to bake a party cake!









We built snowmen...


Played "pin the nose on Olaf"...


My beautiful Bella sure looked like a real princess...


Cousins :)




Zoe came as "Anna"...





We found a fun recipe for "snow" using lotion and powdered sugar!...of course we added glitter to make it Elsa appropriate ;)


Bella invited all of her very special friends....I felt like I was throwing the party for each of them.  Bella has been blessed with such precious girlfriends....I love them each so much!  It was such a fun day of celebrating with all her sweet friends!

Augusta National!

Our dear friends Sandy & Hugh Fones came up to spend a few days with us last weekend and took us to the Masters!  It was absolutely gorgeous!  The landscaping was breathtaking!  It was so much fun seeing all of the golfers I've only ever seen on tv!  We had a blast...AND we even made it on the local news! :)

He is Risen!!

We had such a wonderful Easter celebrating our risen Savior!!
