A Classic

Somebody Lost a Tooth!

On December 11, 2016, Carson lost his first tooth!  We were in worship, and he said, "MY TOOTH IS WIGGLY!"  Then, two seconds later, he pulled his first loose tooth.  No tears! No screams!  To our surprise, he then leaned over and announced that the tooth beside it is loose!  A week later it is still there!

Visit to Chicago 2016

My sweet friends, Kelly and Craig, introduced their baby girl Emerson into the world 4 weeks ago today!  I had the pleasure to go meet this sweetheart this past weekend.  Huge thanks to Brandon and Mimi for taking such good care of my little ones!  It is such a blessing to have amazing friends that you can pick up a conversation like you just saw each other yesterday!  So blessed!

My little buddy for the weekend

Carson and Lilli were able to enjoy a fun musical while mommy was away!

Lilli calling mommy!

Heritage Christmas Program

Lilli cried at the beginning of the show!  No, she wasn't afraid to go on the stage.  She was upset because she thought it was her turn, and it turned out to be the older kid's songs.  Poor girl!

Carson and Lilli did fabulous!  Carson remembered and said his lines so well!

Watch Dog Day at OC Taylor

Twice this year, Brandon will get to go and be a "watch dog" at Carson's school for the entire day!  What a blessing it is to have such a loving daddy and husband!  They had such a great day together!

More Birthday Celebrations!

Birthday lunch at OC Taylor

Carson requested that his party be at our house this year, and it was such a blessing!  It was rainy and cold outside so friends gathered at our house for the celebration!

How Could This Boy Be SIX?

Many celebrations happened for this sweet boy of ours this year.  First, it was Build-A-Bear with Mimi to create Branch.  Next, it was presents from Grandy and Granna.  Then, it was his first baseball glove from Dad and Mom.  Last, it was friend's party at our house!  I would have to say this boy is very special to sooooo many people!

Grapevine Christmas Tree Lighting

It has become our yearly tradition to ring in the Christmas season at our town's Christmas tree lighting.  We typically join in with the Weatherall's for a fun evening together.  This year, it was exceptionally crowded so seats were hard to come by even an hour before the event.
