Dog Tags for Adam

Adam received 3 dog tags at a special ceremony at school. Each dog tag represents 100 books that he has read! Way to go Adam! Some of his favorite books to read are: It's Not Fair, Green Eggs and Ham, and Go Dog Go! Adam has made significant strides with his reading abilities over the last couple of months. We are very proud of him. We love our little Rooty Toot Tooty!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Pretty purple flowers, pretty cake with purple flowers and a wonderful family. What more could a Mommy ask for?

Birthday slumber party

Alex had 8 of his friends over for his birthday party. They all had a great time playing Star Wars and being goofy.

Alex wanted chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and star sprinkles.

Bedtime started at 10:15. Everyone was FINALLY asleep by 12:15.

Shooting some hoops

Alex got a new basketball hoop for his birthday. He was out shooting some hoops before school on his birthday.

Happy Birthday Alex!

Alex is 8 years old! My how time flies.

Happy New Year!

We had to postpone our New Year's Eve tradition by a couple of days. Our good friends Aurelia and Bella and their parents came over to our house for game night. We enjoy their company so much and wish we could see them more. Let that be a resolution for the new year!

Gracie and her clippies

Gracie loves to have clippies in her hair. One morning, she had Mommy help her put at least 6 or 7 in her hair.

Christmas visitors

Grandma Kitty and Grandpa Art came to spend Christmas Day with us again this year. It was a very special day. Grandma Kitty made lots of Christmas treats for us to enjoy and brought lots of presents too! Here are Gracie and Grandma getting ready for a "tea" party with one of Gracie's new favorite toys from Grandma, her baby Elmo.

Merry Christmas!!!

Everyone slept until about 6:30 so it wasn't too early of a morning at our house.

Christmas with our cousins

We went to our Gramma Esther and Grampa Jeff's house for Christmas Eve with our cousins this year. Our uncles and Tasha and Jamie were there too. We love you all!

This is grampa Jeff's favorite present: A trailer hitch cover that says "Bubba." He can thank his oldest son for that one!

Gingerbread house

Last year, Mommy bought 3 gingerbread houses so we could each have one. This year, she learned her lesson and bought only one. We had a wonderful time decorating it and eating the candy as we decorated. Gracie is a great candy thief! We were very proud of our concoction.
