Bear's First Word

We have a "talker" on our hands!  Of course, most of it we cannot understand, but one word is very clear...... "Da -Da"!  There is no shock to this since he loves to watch every move his Daddy makes!  

 Jack just goes on and on now.  He is telling us some very important stuff!  I cannot wait to make out what else he is telling us!  

Jack's 1st Word - January 19, 2013 - "Da-da"  

* By the way, this blog is Jack's official "baby book".  My goal is to go back and make a photo book this upcoming summer by using the pics and info I post on the blog.  :) 

Random Pics

I love i-Cloud technology, texting, and other ways to share great photos and videos.  I do have a tendency to get a little "adhd" with it all.  Here are some random pics that were captured with my phone or with someone else's phone!  :) 

This is what happens when Maylee talks to Bama fan teachers!

Show night at gymnastics.  

Waiting to get mani/pedis  :) 

What a great surprise!  I had no idea I would get to spend time with these awesome friends!  

Bear hug!

Happy Birthday, Emma!

Emma turns 7 years old today!  We celebrated this past Sunday at the bowling alley with games, pizza, Justin Bieber cake and of course bowling!

Happy Birthday, Emma!  We love you!

Football Chat

We love college football time around our house.  Usually we are cheering for Tennessee, but since they did not have a great season.....we are shouting RoLL TiDe tonight for the Championship Game!  I even wore my hounds tooth pants today! It is all about supporting the SEC.  Tonight we had a long chat with Bear about where he should play ball one day!  I think he agrees with us at this point!

LOVE this picture of football chat!!!

Holiday Pic Catch Up!

We had such a wonderful Christmas and holiday break.  The way the holidays fell, Dan had a lot of days at home.  We enjoyed all being together and celebrating the Christmas season and New Year.  

We spent New Year's Eve night with great friends.  Dustin, Sabrina, Noah, and Nicholas came over to celebrate the ending of a fabulous year and the beginning of 2013!  Although we could not shoot fireworks due to the rain, we still had a great time!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!  

Here is my photo "catch up'!  

Christmas Morning - The children woke up to lots of goodies from Santa.  We opened all of our presents and enjoyed some time just taking it all in before we started moving around the house.  Santa brought Jack a walker, and he LOVES having wheels.  He is all over the place.  Emma, Maylee, and Becca received lots of goodies for their American girl dolls!  Also, they got Just Dance Disney party.... let the dancing begin!  We had a lot of visitors Christmas Day!  We loved having our family come and visit with us!  We are so blessed and the day just was a wonderful reminder of this!
