Happy Birthday Caitlyn!

Today is our niece Caitlyn's 3rd birthday! We hope she has a wonderful day :)

Is it Spring yet?

As I am writing this, I have missed my fifth day of school (I think) because of snow. Now, some of you might think that sounds fun to be out of work for the day, but we have to make the days up-in JUNE! Although I have gotten a lot done today, we missed our ISTEP pep rally at school. Next week, ISTEP testing starts, and we have missed a lot of preparation days because of the snow.

Hopefully warmer weather is right around the corner. I am always relieved to see the month of March coming into view.

The sun is shining, so maybe this is our last bit of snow :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope everyone has had a special Valentine's Day! We are lucky to have so many people who love us in our lives :) I was surprised today by Lily and my mom at school. They came during my class Valentine's party and brought me a special card and treat. Lily keeps talking about how loud my class was!

We are OVER winter...

Lily was literally crying today about wanting to swim. I can't say I blame her. Winter needs to be over. So, because she is a spoiled little princess, we brought the pool to her! She is in HEAVEN! She just told me, "Thank you mommy. This is so fun!" Whatever keeps her entertained and happy :)

Snow, Sleet, and Ice!

Well...we are snowed/iced in! Thankfully, we haven't lost power, but I think a lot of people are losing their minds from being inside! Being stuck in the house seems fun at first, but I am pretty antsy and so are Lily and Jeff. We are going to venture to Target to pick up a few things and hopefully the change of scenery will do us some good. Hope everyone else is safe and warm. It looks like I will have my third day off of school tomorrow.

Toy Story on Ice!

My parents got Lily birthday tickets to see Toy Story on Ice this past Sunday. Ty and Lily love Toy Story (Ty really loves it), so we knew it would be a fun day for them. You can see pictures of the characters. Even though we were up higher, it was a great show and we could see everything. Lily and Ty sat and watched intently as their favorite characters made their way on the ice. The soldiers started the show...

then slinky dog!

Woody, Jessie, Ham, Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, and Bulls-eye joined the ice!

Jessie and Rex

Ty was in awe!

the aliens and Buzz made their way out...

Uncle Stephen even joined the party!

the round-up gang

I LOVED ken and barbie!

Lily's expensive alien hat!

a highlight for Lily was when Donald came out!

Thanks Mimi and Papaw for the fun day!

Lillian Marie is Three!

Okay...I am a bit sentimental today! Our Lillian is three years old. I cannot believe it! I mean, we have to start thinking about school and then driving and then boys and then college...okay, I guess we have a while for some of that!

We had such a busy weekend-Lily's party Saturday and Toy Story On Ice yesterday (pics to come)-that today is probably a little bit of let down. She did spend the day with Mimi, so I am sure she had fun. Jeff and I plan on taking her out to dinner tonight, so we can have some time with just the three of us.

Happy Birthday Lily! You have brought more joy to our lives than you know :)
