My Little QB!

DOWN, SET, HUT...

TOUCHDOWN!!!!  I love this kid and his passion to play football!  Every day... all day if he could!  We have quiet the collection of helmets if anyone wants to come play... These pictures make me want to freeze time... don't want him to grow up!  I see a future football star... Anderson, just remember, football players are SUPER sweet to their mamas!

Welcome 2013...1st Competition!

 2013 started with a BANG... or a CHEER...

Karoline had her 1st competition January 5th and I cannot even begin to tell you how PROUD of her I am!  Karoline did her absolute BEST!  She stayed clean and tight, remembered her spots, smiled and didn't skip a beat!!  The squad did an amazing job and got 4th place.  It was so fun to see my little girl compete.  I don't know if she will want to do cheer again next year but either way I am excited for all that she will learn this year being part of Myrtle Beach All Stars!  GO KAROLINE!!!

New Years.... PARTY!

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  So excited so dance the night away with my husband to close 2012... it's been an amazing year, yet very different than I had ever imagined...  I started school, sold our house, trying to build another one, moved in with my parents... among many other little changes.  Changes are a part of life and sometimes they are welcomed and sometimes they are a struggle.  But no matter what the change we know God NEVER changes... HE IS FAITHFUL and HE LOVES US more than we can imagine.

I'm thankful for every change, big or small, that occurred in 2012 and pray that the Lord be with us and bless us in 2013 as we continue to strive to know Him more, serve Him more and hope that we see many more people in Myrtle Beach come to know Him as well...

HAPPY NEW YEAR... WELCOME 2013!

 TJ and I did get to attend an "adult" party with friends and it was a very fun date night.  The kids did stay up and watch the ball drop with mom and dad... I was so impressed they made it to midnight!

Christmas Break FUN!

It was fun to have the kids home from school and no morning rush to get out the door.  After Christmas Mom and Dad went to visit Brent, Leigh, Jackson, and Pressley so we had the house to ourselves.  The kids got a gift in the mail from Aunt Loretta and Uncle Bill and they were so excited.  After we opened their gifts we went to eat at Nacho Hippo which is AMAZING!  Karoline dressed up and accessorized!

The kids to make a beach and swim in the ocean (the pillows)...

Karoline LOVED having her own room (she stayed in my parents room) and spent her nights with her head in a book... She loves to read but it is hard with Anderson because he won't stay quiet :)

Mom and Dad got to see my Aunt Betty Jo and Uncle Steve while they 

were gone so I wanted to include this picture!

We could not pass up going to Broadway before our season passes expired.  The kids loved riding the rides and we were SO PROUD of ANDERSON!  He was so brave and finally rode the swings with Karoline!!  That is a BIG deal... he is not much for adventure like Karoline is... He loved them!

We headed home and stopped to get a few New Years decorations and Karoline wanted to have this truck full of balloons to come home with us... So thankful for some fun times with my beautiful kids!

Francis Stay...

It was time for Francis to come visit for a few weeks... The first night he came he also brought pillow cases for the kids which they loved... they were in their bed when they woke up...  They were excited Francis was back...

...Francis likes to play with Lego's....

...toilet paper on the tree...

Francis even got Santa to send videos to the kids...

Made toothpaste messes...

Delivered new ornaments...

... and new plates and cups...

Ate a few kisses and made a mess...

He followed us to our hotel when Darren and Alexander came...

Francis had to go back to the North Pole... 

A few of Karoline's letters to Santa about Francis...

Bye Bye Francis... Until next year...
