Katherine's New Sweater

Aunt Kathy sent Katherine this sweater in the mail and we love it!!

Eating and bathtime

Katherine went to a Princess b-day party and had a great time dressing up. SHe now has quite a few dress up clothes and loves to wear them grocery shopping.





As the kids are growing I love to take pictures of just everyday occurences. Evan is eating Avocado.

A whole month!!

All of you out there who look at our blogs and hope to see new pics I am sorry. We have been extremely busy through the holidays. I will be posting lots of pics soon and updating you on our family. For now we are doing well healthy (finally) and ready to get back into a good routine now that the crazy holiday season is over. Hope you all are well and enjoying the new year. We believe many great things are coming this year. We are watching and praying to see the Lord's hands move greatly in our lives.

Christmas time is here!!

Reading with Katherine

Katherine loves to go to the Library and get books. She has been sitting with us and reading since she was a baby. She actually used to eat the books but she is much better now. I have taken quite a few pictures of different people who have read to her over the last couple of months.

Peek-a-Boo

Evan is playing Peek-a-boo alot lately and here he is playing peek-a-boo with the shower curtain.




He also got his first pair of shoes, isn't he getting so big?

Getting a Christmas Tree

On Thanksgiving we talked with Aunt Kathy and the family up in NC and we took pictures of Katherine talking to her. She was singing and she decided to start with her ABS'c and it ended up being a run-on song about Abc's, 123's and Twinkle Twinkle. She is a hoot!!



We went on Friday to get our Christmas tree with my family. We went to the Thompson Tree Farm in Lawrenceville thinking that we would cut down our tree but we love frazier firs and it doesn't get cold enough here in GA for them to grow. We ended up just picking one out at the tree lot they had on their property. We will definitely do it again. Hot cocoa(kids coffee) and wagon rides with Papa were also memories to be treasured.






Evan squishes up his nose and gets so excited about toys, his sister and accomplishing pulling up. Here are some pics of this particular face.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a great time with friends and family yesterday. We were completely entertained by Katherine and her little friend Maran all evening. They are only four months apart and were full of energy. Our favorite was when they were striking a pose on the fireplace at my Mom's. HILARIOUS!! We of course have it on video but not camera...Sorry.

Katherine and I were playing dress up and doing hair the other day and I was able to give her her first french braid. Of course I had to document the event. I am having a lot of fun with her doing girly things. Playing house, dressing up, painting toes etc...





Evan is eating soo much food and is very good at letting me know when he doesn't want something. Here are the pics of him squeezing his mouth shut so that we cannot get anything else inside.




Hope you all are having a great weekend. We are going to get our Christmas tree today and enjoy the great weather. It is supposed to be 60 degrees today.

Evan and his Papa!

New things every day

My children are amazing me!! Every day it seems like they are doing new things.


Katherine loves to use her imagination and the other day her frog was sat on, stepped on, and fed all day. She has a great memory and tells me when we are going the wrong way if she thinks it looks like we are on the way somewhere other then where I told her we were going. Did you follow? Haha~ She knows quite few of her letters and she can draw a "P". The Alphabet song is sung all day and she wants me to sing louder every time. If you have been around any two year old you know they love to sing but they don't quite know all the words so it is pretty cute when she comes up with the words she thinks they are saying.


Evan is eight months old and into EVERYTHING!! I have found him in many places(on top of the VCR) with many different things in his mouth(leaves being his personal favorite). Pulling up is his greatest achievment so far and he squishes up his nose and laughs every time. He is so pleased with himself. If I am on the floor he always starts crawling toward me breathing heavy, he then opens his mouth and covers me with slobber and laughs. This action is very similar to what his dad does to his big sister!!




We are having a great time!!

Katherine and her Aunt Carol

We had a great time with Carol and Roo Roo(Rudy) on Sunday! Aunt Carol loves to play silly games with the kids and this one was a hoot. Simon Sais smell your feet. Katherine then proceeeded to smell everybody's feet. Great times!!

Our handsome boy

Couldn't help but send these pictures out. He got this hat from a friend the other day and I have had him in it every day since.

Camping at Fort Mountain

Saturday, Oct. 28, we drove with the kids to Fort Mountain, GA to go camping with Larry's side of the family. Larry's mom recently bought the family an RV and this was our first trip. There were 8 of us all together and we had a GREAT time. We definitely had to learn how to dance around each other inside the RV but it was full of laughter and good memories. We went hiking, built a fire, ate leaves(Evan did), made s'mores, saw BEAUTIFUL colors on all of the trees, and enjoyed being with one another. I am so greatful to have the opportunity to go and explore the outdoors. I can see how so many artists get their inspiration. The amazing sights we saw while we were hiking caused even me, the stick figure queen, to want to go and paint. Hope you enjoy the pictures!!
