Owen's First Game

Last weekend Owen had his first soccer game! It was so much fun! I am not sure how much he liked it but we all had a blast watching them :)

I think he got a little overwhelmed by all the running and kicking! 

Check out this cuteness! 

Owen and his favorite friend Riley

Birthday Party for Tristian!

Two weekends ago (I am still behind a couple weeks!) Owen, Savannah, and I went up to Cincinnati to celebrate Tristian's 8th birthday with the Evans family!

I took a TON of pics because the kids were so stinkin cute doing all the karate, but I will restrain myself to just a handful :)

Taking it all very seriously!! 

Breaking the boards! 

Gift Time! 

Cutest picture EVER! 

After the party Sara was sweet to us and invited us to come back to her house for dinner. And man were my kids excited when they got there! They have birds!!!!

Thanks so much for having us! We had a great time! :)

Mom Time

For those of you who don't know ( I don't mention it here much), I run a two day a week childcare program at our church called Mom Time. And we are starting up again so I have been busy busy! I LOVE my job and I am super excited about it this year because we have doubled in size! Double the children and double the staff! Over the year last year, I became friends with the ladies I worked with and this year I got to hire 8 more! And they are all wonderful ladies!


Check them out!

Don't you just love our new staff shirts?

I have a feeling this is going to be a great year at Mom Time! :)

Savannah's First Pedicure!

The other day I took Savannah to get her first real pedicure at the nail salon. And she loved every second of it!

She was thrilled about getting to soak her feet in warm water! 

And she talked our guy into putting a hot towel on her legs :) 

She got purple polish with white polka dots on her hands

and her feet! So stinking cute! 

Savannah's Gymnastics Class!

Savannah recently started taking gymnastics classes again and absolutely LOVES it!!! :)

Pretty girl! 

She is such a natural! 

Trampoline Time! 

Bars :) 

The gymnastics center that I am taking her to really works these kids! Nothing like the old one is Eustis! But it's really good! She is so excited about it and I think she's going to get really good really fast!!! :)

More Indiana Fun :)

While we were in Indiana for the weekend celebrating my grandparents anniversary, we also took a little time to have some fun!

Friday night we went over to Grant and Jessica's house for dinner and the kiddos got to catch up! I love this picture! The the sun setting over the field and his sweet face it is just perfect! 

All the kids + Grandpa John on the trampoline = trouble!! Thankfully no one was injured! :) 

Hotel!! My kids love hotels! And they were so tired after the car trip and fun evening they slept in until about 9 am! Sweet!!! 

Carrie, who flew in for the event solo, and I took the kids to Dairy Queen in Shelbyville. We grew up eating ice cream here and playing on this cow. Somehow it seemed bigger when I was a kid!!! 

Sunday before we had to head home, we got a real treat. My dad's best friend growing up had a son about my age. He and I became good friends in high school and Sunday we introduced our sons to each other. They are the same age! So 3 generations of friends! Very cool. 

Then it was all over and we had to head home :( But we had a great time and just love the fact that we are close enough to visit fairly frequently!

60 Years!

This past weekend (I am so behind with life right now!) my grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary! The kids and I were so excited to get to go and celebrate with them in Indiana! Mike ended up having a work event and was bummed he couldn't make it but the kids and I had fun for him :)

My grandparents had a renewal ceremony at the very same church they were married at 60 years ago! 

The ceremony was beautiful

Wedding photo! Love this!!! 

Savannah holding hands with Mamaw and Pappy. She more than anyone really misses living in Eustis and spent a lot of time snuggling with them! 

All the little touches were so nice! 

They had an original invitation, wedding gifts displayed, their wedding album, and lots of pictures! 

Cake time! 

Love these two! 

The next generation of cousins playing together at the reception

Who gave her that enormous piece of cake????

This lady!!! Savannah adores Aunt Susan and even told her teacher before we left that she may not be back the following week because she was going to stay with Aunt Susan for a week! :) 

The day was so nice and it was wonderful catching up with family and getting to spend some time with Mamaw and Pappy! We really miss them being so close. They are such an amazing example of commitment and we "marriage newbies" cannot even imagine the kind of love, patience, selflessness, understanding, and grace it takes to be together happily for 60 years!! Thank you!!!
