Our little man

Today was Bradley's first day in the Nursery at church. He looked so grown up and did great. He loved it and didn't cry once. I'm pretty surprised by that, so hopefully it will continue like that. He is growing up so fast, and his little personality is really coming out. I had to add a couple of pictures of his curls, because Jay says it is definitely time to cut his hair, and they'll have to go. He's had his hair cut a lot, but after this last time when his curls started coming in I just couldn't do it. Oh well the time is soon at hand.

We love our Cousins

This past week Jay's brother's family came and stayed with us for a couple of days. We had so much fun, and the kids loved having their cousins around. Luckily, they haved moved closer to us so we can get to see them more now. YAY!! Bradley was glad to have some boys around to play with, and Addisyn and Elsa were inseperable the whole time. We took the kids to the Children's Museum here and it was really cool. We already miss them.

Vacations are so nice

last week went spent to the beach in Gulf Shores, AL with my sisters Janna, Lauren, and my Aunt Sandy. It was great. We didn't lay out like we normally do because it was windy, but we still got sun and had a great time. We went on a cruise watching dolphins play, and did lots of stuff we normally don't do in the summer when it's layout weather. Addisyn braved the freezing water. I don't know how she did it, and Bradley wanted nothing to do with it. He did love playing in the sand. We ate at some great restaurants and spent the nights at fun amusement parks. Addisyn is finally tall enough to drive the kiddie gocarts herself. She was so proud of herself. WE had a great trip, and my next trip can't get here soon enough.

Beware...post overload

So I took and extended leave of absence from blogging and now suffering through some of the catch up. Sorry for the overload.

The circus

We took the kids with some of their cousins to a fun little local circus. They got to ride an elephant and got their faces painted, which was probably the best part of it, but it was fun to watch their excitement. Bradley didn't get his face painted but he loved watching everything.

Not a fun snow day!!

So just as we are getting ready for spring we got bombed with 7 inches of snow last weekend, and for us 7 inches is a deadly blow. Anyways Jay woke me last Sunday morning at 1 a.m. to let me know it was still snowing, our neighbors massive pine tree had fallen and knocked down our power line down, and it had coincidentally landed on both (YES BOTH) of our cars. I had to run out and see this, and all I could do was stand in my pj's in the snow and laugh. Luckily I have family here and they were so great to let us come in the middle of the night and stay with them for 2 days while our power was being fixed. We came out of it pretty good. The cars amazingly withstood the blow and held that tree up. There was no damage to them except for a crack in the van's windshield (minor). Needless to say I did not want to play in the snow and was grateful for it to go. Jay ahs the pictures on his phone so I'll try to get them and post it.

Rascal Flatts

Last Thursday our very awesome friends Tom & Annie took Jay and I with them to the RAscal Flatts Concert. We have always loved them, so it was amazing seeing them in concert. We had awesome box seats and everything. It was the total package, and the guys of Rascal Flatts did not disappoint in their show. Thanks again Tom & Annie we had a blast with y'all.

My baby sister

This weekend we went home to see my baby sister compete in her high school's beautywalk. She looked gorgeous, and I was so proud of her. Pageantry is not really her thing (she's very athletic) but she had fun and did great. Her dress was gorgeous too. Addisyn was very much into it. She had to walk the runway, get dressed up, and everything.
