Long time

It has been a while since my last post. I find what free time I have is spent on facebook. I really need to cut it out of my life but it is so addictive plus I love playing the mindless games while watching TV.

What is new? Lots of things. The kids finished up the school year. Ethan will be going into third grade next year and his class and teacher decided to loop this year so no surprises for him next year. Addison will be going to preschool 4 days a week next year. Sydney will be going into sixth grade and she will also be in three advanced classes.

We began out summer with a awesome block party. After memorial day we began summer swim team practice in the morning. We usually go every morning. Sydney is from 8-9am and Ethan is 9-10am. It is a lot of work but it really is fun. We have enjoyed a couple of trips to Allatoona dam, spent many days at the pool, and a fun lake day with lots of friends.

I am going to really try to post more often.

Snow, snow and more snow..

The kids got out of school early because the forecast was calling for snow in the afternoon. I picked the kids up from the bus and we went to lunch with Jay. Afterwards we did a little shopping before heading home. Once we got close to home the snow was really coming down. We could hardly wait to pull in the driveway, get our coats on and head outside. Once outside the neighbors appeared and we had a great afternoon.






The next day there was even more snow.

The kids were out of school so we decided to go sledding. We had such a blast sledding. Unfortunately by the afternoon the sun had melted the snow and ice on the street and we couldn't sled anymore.

New Years

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from our party but we had a great time. We welcomed the New Year with many friends.

I have chosen not to made resolutions this year that way I don't have to be disappointed when I don't achieve them. I am just going to enjoy the ride this year.

Christmas Break

We have really enjoyed our Christmas break. We have enjoyed sleeping late, staying up late, and playing. Of course the kids had a wonderful Christmas. Santa brough lots of really cool toys and we had a wonderful day together as a family. We spend Christmas Eve going to church. This was also the first year the kids bought and exchanged gifts with one another. Not only did they enjoy opening the presents they received from each other but they enjoyed giving them especially since the used there own money to purchase the gifts. I think this is a traditon we will continue.

Christmas Day we spent the day playing with out new toys and watching movies. We had lunch/dinner catered from Bar-B-Cutie and it was so good. Turkey, Dressing, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Pistachio Pudding, and Pecan Pie.
