2-5-12 THOMAS’ 9TH BIRTHDAY!!!

 Thomas turned 9!  I cannot believe my little boy is 9 years old!  Where did the time go?  He’s all boy and loves Nerf guns, Legos and Transformers.  Lucky him…that’s what he got for his birthday!  We love you, Thomas!

Somehow I didn’t end up with a picture of him blowing out his candles, but I had to note that for his birthday dessert he chose pumpkin pie!

2-4-12 LOVE MONTH

 My friend, Emy started a tradition she calls “love month”.  You are supposed to do something special for your spouse each day for the month of February.  We got together with the Adam’s and the Ho’s for a special romantic dinner.  It was DELICIOUS!  Way less money than going out to dinner and more relaxed too!

2-3-12 THOMAS’ 9TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

 Thomas wanted to have a birthday party this year with his friends.  We decided to have it at the church building and let all those kids run around!  They played basketball, soccer and line tag and had a blast!

 Ashley sometimes gets a little bored…this is what she and Aylexie did one afternoon.  She’s always saying she’s got “mad” skills.  This proves it!

1-7-12 SHOOTING GUNS

 Jeff promised me a date 19 years ago…he never sealed the deal!  For Christmas, his dad helped me order him a lambs wool gun holder as seen in the picture below.  He was pretty happy about it!  Needless to say, it was a lot of fun and it was great to see our kids (and Alexandra) enjoy it too!
