The BIG 4-0!!!!!

We celebrated my brothers 40th Birthday this week!

 Lee came over when he got off work thinking we were just going to have a simple dinner to celebrate his Birthday.  He was VERY surprised to walk in to and see the house decorated and everyone wearing BLACK!  HAHA!!!!

 We all had a great time celebrating Lee! We did miss Austin, he had to work, but he was able to stop by before the party was over. 

I am so blessed to have the relationship that I do with my brother.  He's not only my brother, he's my best friend! I love you Bubba, hope you had a great 40th!

Feel like home

This week was a so called normal week around here. 
I spent the first part of the week at the doctor and dentist.  I am hoping this week I can stay away from the doctors office! :-)  The kids are doing good, they have LOVED the nice weather and have spent every bit of free time outside.  Today we all stayed outside most of the day.  Drew's birthday present(basketball goal) has been put to good use! There have been several pickup basketball games going on!

The kids are counting down to Spring Break.  They are ready to be South Carolina bound and see their friends!

Grace Anne and her BFF Maggie sent each other some love the other day through pictures! They are such sweet friends and miss each other so much. 

Drew can't wait to see his buddy's Nicholas and Spencer! 

Living close to family is wonderful, but we all miss our sweet friends in South Carolina. Even though Alabama is home to me and Daniel, it just doesn't feel like home yet.  Praying that the next month or so we will meet new friends and find a church family and this place will start to feel like home! :-)

Happy Birthday Daniel!

Daniel's Birthday was Friday! Daniel and Drew almost share a birthday, so it was a week full or celebration going at our house!  We celebrated Daniel's day by going out to dinner and enjoying some yummy cupcakes that his bosses got him at work! He was showered with presents and lots of hugs and kisses from Grace Anne and Drew!
Happy Birthday to my best friend and soul mate! Hope your day was GREAT! Love you!

Day full of Birthday!

We had a super fun day celebrating our little man's birthday!

We started off the day with a birthday breakfast that consist of cinnamon rolls and of couse his favorite food BACON!!!!

He had a fun birthday celebration with his class at school!

Then it was time to celebrate with the family!

Drew requested  to have a Lego Ninjago party, so I had to get my creative juices going and that meant, search PINTEREST!!!! haha! :-)

We let him open one of his presents before the party started.  He was excited to get a new basketball and asked if he could go outside and bounce it........

and this is the look on his face when he went outside!

He was sooooo excited to get a basketball goal! As you can tell the kids and Daniel were excited too!

I can't believe that our sweet boy is 7 years old! Time is flying! It was so nice having all of our family around to celebrate with us, this is something we have never had, but sure can get use to! :-)

Basketball and Birthdays!

One of Drew's Birthday presents was going to see the Harlem Globetrotters! He was so excited!  Before heading to the game, we stopped at his favorite fast food restaurant......Krystal's!

He was super excited that they now have BACON Krystal's! He LOVES bacon and would eat it on just about anything!

I love this picture.  He laughed like this all night!

The whole family had a blast!

It's Drew's Day!!!!!

Happy 7th Birthday to my sweet Drew!

I can't believe that my baby boy is 7 years old! Drew is truly a blessing to our family.  He is so sweet and loving but he is also soooo funny! Drew has such a great personality.  He is so friendly and loves to make people happy.  He is the funniest kid ever! Our life would be so boring without him!

Drew has the gift of compassion.  He is very tender hearted and does not like it when someone is sad or hurt.  He loves to help people and to pray.  He loves God and is eager to learn more about Him.  I thank God daily for blessing us with our bundle of joy!

Happy Birthday Drew Boo!

We love you so much and thank God for choosing us to be your parents!

Weekend Fun

This weekend Mom, Grace Anne, Emma and I set off to Huntsville for a Girls shopping day!
We had a blast!

 Since the girls were having their fun day, Drew and Pawpaw Ricky decided to go and have some boy time at the hunting club.  I think that this was one of the best days Drew has ever had! He absolutely LOVED it! He can't wait to go again!

I wish I could say this picture was posed, but it wasn't.  He learned how to drive the four wheeler this weekend and shot his gun! This boy is growing up too fast! So fast that he has a birthday coming up this week!!!! Time is flying by! Check back later in the week, we have a busy week full of Birthday fun!
