SNOW!!

Ok, I know that I'm way late in posting this but I need to put the pictures up even though they're late. Back in January, we got a treat that we don't get very often at all...SNOW!! The kids were so excited. This was Will's second time to see snow, but the first time that he remembered it. He had just turned two the last time he saw snow, while we were in TN, but he doesn't remember it. This was Addie and Wyatt's first snow. We took them out to play in it for just a few minutes and they had a ball. Will had spent the night with my parents the night before, so I don't have any pictures of him in it.

Will and Parker's Birthday Party

Will and his best friend, Parker, have their birthday party together every year since their birthdays are only a few days apart. This year, they chose to have a Transformers party at Pump It Up. It was a great party and everyone had a wonderful time!!! We got the boys matching t shirts and we got them for their main gift a Transformers voice changer helmet. They opened it together at the very end and they loved it!!! Their voices sound so funny when they talk through it..it was hilarious!
We had some tired children when we left there...they jumped and slid and played hard for 2 hours. On the way home, Will said that it was his best sixth birthday ever!!

Will's Sixth Birthday

I can't believe that Will is six...time flies. I can remember people telling us when he was born that we'd blink our eyes and he'd be in kindergarten..and he is.
Where have the last six years gone? We've been a little busy!! We're so thankful for him and the joy that he brings to our lives and our family. He has been so excited about his birthday and it was a great day! We ate lunch at McDonald's, played with new Christmas toys, and tonight we went to Gatti Town, a new place in town that's pizza and lots and lots of games to play. They even had a small bowling alley and bumper cars!! We loved it and had a great time together. Lala and Pa Paw came down from TN for his birthday.

Christmas 2007

I'm finally getting a chance to post a few pictures from Christmas. We left the Saturday before Christmas for Collierville, TN, to see Randy's family. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone. The only downside was that Randy, Addie, and Will all got sick. Randy and Addie were sick on Christmas Day. Santa even remembered that the kids were at Lala and Pa Paw's house this year! We came home the day after Christmas. It was so fun to watch the kids play with their cousins and to see them open their gifts and see the look of joy on their faces as they looked at what Santa left them.

Christmas Cookies

Well, it's Christmas time and one of my great memories of growing up was making Christmas cookies with my mom. I want to make the same good memories for my own children. So far, we've made one batch of cookies and Will loved to help me. His favorite part was licking the beaters. Addie wanted to help too, but bless her heart, her idea of helping was just playing in the flour. Oh well..that's fun too! Wyatt just watched everything from his high chair and said PUPPY (his new and favorite word).

Christmas in Canton

This is the first year that we have gone to Christmas in Canton and it will be a new tradition for our family. We went last week with our dear friends, The Bryants, and had a wonderful time. This event is held on the square in Canton and there are lots of Christmas lights, a carousel, a train, a firetruck, and horse and buggy rides. We drank hot chocolate and enjoyed the night so much.

Decorating Mimi & Papa's Christmas Tree

My mom and dad put up a small Christmas tree each year and the kids get to come over and decorate it. They had such a good time doing this. It's so fun to watch them choose the ornaments and find just the right spot on the tree to hang them. It's moments like this that make the most precious memories.
