School Boys

As most of you know, Wilson and Michael started preschool this past month. They have both done really well with it all and seem to be enjoying it. Now when I take them they just wave bye and walk in with their teacher Ms. Lynda. This morning I managed to catch them before we headed out the door. They feel like such big boys when they wear their backpacks. Wilson runs from the camera at times but I finally got him in the last pic.

Michael is ready to go.

Finally got Wilson in the picture, yeah!

Bouncy Boys!!!!!

Since we really had no plans this afternoon, Bryan and I decided to take the boys to Bouncy Kids. We had never been but a friend of ours told us about it so we thought we would give it a try. Plus, my car was saying I still had 30 miles to go until empty so why not!! (For those of you who don't know, there is no gas in Morganton. Once a station gets a little, people line up to get some. I haven't found the patience or the time to stand in line...looks like I will be driving the F350 diesel until all of this is resolved.) The boys had a great time and they were completely pooped out when we left. Now I know somewhere to take them during those cold winter days when we can't burn off some energy outside. Yeah!!!!!

Happy Birthday Erin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mom's 60th Party

Yesterday we surprised my mom with a party at our house for her 60th birthday. My cousin Kathy and Kimmy drove all the way up from Clearwater, Florida to surprise her as well. It was such a nice day and we loved getting to see everyone. Happy Birthday again to a lovely mom and friend. I love you. Here are the pictures from the big event!

Happy Birthday Chris!

Yesterday was my brother-in-law Chris' birthday. Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday, even if you don't recognize birthdays ;) We love you! Glad we got to celebrate with you.

My Sleeping Little Man

Tonight as I was turning off the music in Wilson and Michael's room I found Michael asleep in a very funny way. I think he learned this position from his daddy. So cute!

Happy Birthday Mom (aka.Grandma or Memaw Claus)!

Today is my mom's _0th birthday! I have been told by my father that I shouldn't disclose a woman's age so there, I didn't. Just wanted to wish you a very Happy Birthday mom! We all love you so much and appreciate all you do for us. Thanks for always being there. I love you! Here are a few pictures from the past.

I have always loved this picture. Mom in the midst of all her daughters and grandkids just grinning. Happy Birthday!!!
