Coming Back...

 I'm coming back to the blog world!! How long has it been??? Way too long!!!!! Now, I have the blogger app- so hopefully I'll be better about updating post and pics!

Let's see.... 

I'll just update you on my life right now. Soon I'll try and go in reverse for a recap, but that could take some serious time!

 

Anna is seven! Anna is like the 75 year old version of me!! She is our sensitive, fun-loving, motherly, old-soul! She loves all things crafts; all things school; all things American Girl; sushi, hot tea, gymnastics, swimming, soccer, riding her bike, playing friends and taking care of her new kitty, Little Fella!!! 

She will be in second grade this fall. She'll continue Soccer and Gymnastics and start Drama, Piano and MAYBE basketball (she says, "not a chance", but I plan on winning that war)!

 

Caroline is five!!! She is my mini-me in every way; Looks and attitude!! Makes me very nervous for those teenage years! She loves everything!! All things adventure; all things crafts; all things sports; all things outdoors and in! And mostly, all things Anna loves! She wants to do everything she can- and try everything she can't!! (---hence the broken arm pictured above; She fell off the TOP of the swing set) 😳

She is out of the cast now and I'm certain she'll be back in another one all too soon!!!She is tall and toothless. Right now her favorite thing in the world is her kitty, Bruce! 

 Case Boy is three!!! I know 😳- he grew up so fast!! He is huge and has an even bigger personality!! He loves all things tractors! All things trucks. All things baseball, Spider-Man, Baymax and Super Heros! He loves riding in and on everything! He loves telling jokes and playing tricks. Loves everything about laughter; laughing and making us laugh! 

He thinks he can do everything by himself and has no problem demanding his independence! 

He loves to eat! We have yet to find one food he doesn't like!! Although he doesn't love chocolate milk! 

 

This picture was last summer (they have changed SO much)- we all have! 

We've had a crazy year to say the least but we are all happy and healthy and loving life!!! 

 

SweetMondays is back!!! Finally!!!! 

See you soon (like tomorrow)!

Christmas Trip with girls

Ole Miss made it to the Peach Bowl!!!

That meant a road trip for the girls for Christmas!!

They opened a big box from Mommy and Daddy complete with Legos (and tickets to Lego-land), a 300 piece under the sea puzzle (and tickets to the Atlanta aquarium), and a new OleMiss shirt to go with their Peach Bowl tickets!!

Case hit up Zannie's house and the rest if us took off to meet friends in Atlanta for a few days!!

Such a fun vacation!!!

These two fellas are two of our most favorite friends! Coop and Carter!! The girls were not excited about the trip until they heard these two were coming!!

Of all the adventures we had these four enjoyed swimming, riding escalators, and making faces in the Marta window the most!!!

Of course Legoland and the Aquarium were not too far behind in the ranks!

The game was obviously not fun game Casey was looking for but our girls had no clue we were even at a football game!

They had a blast!!!

It was a great trip!! I cannot wait for next year! Ole Miss- have another good season!!!! Hahaha!

Is there a bowl game in Chicago? Ha!!!!

Today I am home enjoying this little "sickie"- 

He doesn't look too sick to me!! I think he gagged himself so I would be forced to stay home with a thrower-upper! He has been fine all day!! 

More soon!!

(Don't y'all like this?)

December in pictures-

December: Lots of trips and lots if togetherness! A blessed time for sure!! 

New traditions started!! Santa bread on Christmas Eve-

And edible manger scenes for lunch!! 

Loving his new hat from Ms. Thierry (whom we adore!!!!)

Santa came!!

 Anna's favorite gift was her "cat keyboard"

Caroline- purple soccer socks, shin guards and cleats!!

Case- food! Santa left some fruit pouches in his sticking- could've cared less about anything after those were discovered!! 

My attempt at a Christmas morning photo :(

It is near impossible to get a flawless photo of all three-

But- I always try!!

Until that perfect picture...

(Whenever that may be...)

We will have to appreciate ones like these!!!

Alive and Well!!!

Happy New Year!!

We are alive and well and back to blogging- at least once ever couple of weeks!!!
