We are so thankful for the many men in our family who have served or are currently serving in the military. Both sides of our family are full of service in the army, navy, and air force. We were also thankful for a day off together to relax with family! My parents invited us overContinue reading “Veteran’s Day”

I noticed a few weeks ago that JT had reached the ends of his toddler bed. He has never asked for a new bed and when I’ve brought it up, he’s always responded that he likes his bed just fine. But this time when I asked, he said “I think I grew. My toes goContinue reading “A New Bed”

Since Alabama has a big game tomorrow against LSU, we did our grocery shopping in appropriate attire today. I took a few photos on our way out the door. Roll Tide! I can’t decide between this one or the next one…  

This past few months we have been thinking about November 5th, Election Day, and how the vote would go for our school district. We all have the bumper stickers and “like” the Facebook page and all that. It’s pretty much an all-consuming topic of conversation. JT even got involved and copied the bumper sticker toContinue reading “Passed!”

Leah’s Legacy is about raising awareness about GBS. They had their first Run for Their Lives 5K this past weekend. We really wanted to participate, butContinue reading “Run for Their Lives”

We had our annual summer photos done by Carlie Curlee Photo in August. It is fun to use the same person every year! She doesn’t really have a business so her prices are also very reasonable. 🙂 I am so happy to have them and refresh the frames in our house with some current photosContinue reading “Summer Photos”

You know the weather must have changed because, suddenly,  my children are tumbling all over each other in an effort to burn off some energy. It started off with Haley wanting to do a headstand, and JT said he would help. Then she wanted to try by herself, and of course she just topples overContinue reading “Indoor Gym”
