Snow, glorious snow!

Finally we got enough snow to really play in it.  I have been wanting it so badly for my children. I have such great memories from childhood of playing in the snow and I have wanted it for my own children. Kingston never gets snow and if we do it is only a small amount where you can still see the grass.  We have had the best week going sledding with friends and just hanging out together.

Christmas 2010

We had a great Christmas. My mom came and spent about a week with us.  The kids got everything they asked for and more. We are so blessed and thankful for all that we have and especially for friends and family.  We are blessed to have such a wonderful church family as well.

Wilderness Lodge

We went to the Wilderness of the Smokies with Josh's family.  The kids had an absolute blast riding the water rides and bodysurfing.  It was great fun for our whole family.

Halloween

I had a little criminal and a grandma trick or treating with me this year.  They were so cute.  Morgan thought up the idea herself and went with it!  She called a friend of ours to borrow their walker. We put baby powder in her hair to make it look white.  She did the lipstick herself!  It was a fun night.

Fall Break!

Two days before Fall Break started we decided to go somewhere for a getaway...the kids have been dying to go back to the beach for over a year.  We didn't take a summer vacation so they really deserved it.  We were able to work out a condo in Destin for a few days.  We left Friday night and Josh drove all night.  We had 3 absolutely perfect days of sun, sand, ocean, go-carts, putt-putt, video games, and food...Fun, Fun, Fun!!  It was a short trip but we did everything we wanted to.  The kids had an absolute blast!  Can't wait to go back next year.

Happy Birthday Morgan!

My little girl turned 10 years old on September 20!  I cannot believe she is 10. She is such a joy and I have always called her "my angel" and she truly is.  I cannot imagine my life without her.

Her birthday was on a school day so we decided to go out to eat the night before.  She chose Gondolier because it was close to home and they serve fettucine alfredo!  She knew they would sing to her and she was excited about that.  She got a huge piece of "millionaire cake" and we all helped her eat it.

Take me out to the ballgame!

Jackson played Kingston AA All-Stars this summer(he played A last summer). he played a few different positions: shortstop, right field, catcher. He is also playing on a Kingston travel team and has played in various tournaments throughout the summer. I love watching him play but I'm always a nervous wreck when he plays a new position. I thought I would be sick watching him play catcher for the first time...I was so nervous for him. I called him "Bumblebee" when he was in his catcher's gear. He looked just like a Transformer and his equipment rattled when he would run to his position.
