December 2013 Recap

Our December was filled with so many wonderful memories.

I will pull out a few to highlight in their own posts.

These pictures give you a glimpse of the wonderful month we had!

We love our college kids!

Meeting Jasper Cross for the first time . . .

Going to Mr. Buddy's to see Santa and Christmas Carol.

Going to see The Nutcracker

Our small town Christmas parade with our friends the Youngs...

It just doesn't get much better than all of this!

A COLD Day at the Zoo

We always try to do something with our buddies the Youngs around the holidays.

We just love this family and enjoy spending as much time with them as possible.

So, when we heard the Avengers were going to be at the Memphis Zoo one Saturday . . . 

WE. WERE. THERE!

Bundled in every scrap of clothing we owned, but we were there!

After seeing the Avengers, we just enjoyed ourselves and each other at the zoo.

One thing is for sure . . . 

The kids know how to have a good time together and

how to pose for a picture!

November 2013 Recap

November proved to be a little busier than we had thought it would be, but

we enjoyed ourselves none the less.

It started with the kids running in the GLOW Run for the Relay for Life.

They had a great time!

Many of LB's teammates from soccer and basketball were there to run and she had a great time!

The next day was our annual Ladies' Day at church.  LB helped me decorate some of the tables and

even participated in the devotional part of the program.  I was so proud of her!

The next weekend was FHU's Homecoming.

LB's book club (which I have been HORRIBLE about meeting with) read The Secret Garden 

and then went to see the musical.  They really loved it.

The next morning the kids ran a 5K for MSYC.  They were thrilled to see Steven there!

No, LB did NOT do the entire race on Steven's shoulders!

Both kids finished first in their age group! 

LB was so excited to see Brittany!

and even more excited to meet her "niece" Sydney!

Halloween 2014

A 3 Hour Tour . . . .

Each day at the beach we had seen this part of the beach that jutted out into the gulf side.

We were very curious as to what was over there and had asked around.

Some had said if we could get to the other side the water was clear and you could see

sting rays and HUGE jelly fish.

So, we decided to take a trip that way...

We thought it would be a quick trip...

we were wrong...

It was a beautiful one though!

The kids were glad to get back.

It was a long long walk but a great way to end our time at the beach!
