Brooke and Skylar

Brooke and Skylar are proudly showing their gymnastic medals! They have been taking gymnastics together for awhile; and I felt it was time to make a big deal of it (with Brooke). They were both very excited! It was the perfect addition to a fabulous Friday playdate!

Christmas Party

All the girls in my PEP Moms group

One of my best friends in the world, Kelly

Football Fun

The boys LOVE playing football in the back yard ~ especially on pretty days after school. I have enjoyed watching them interact with one another. After throwing and tackling for awhile, they typically talk about their days. Great memories!!!

The Tooth Fairy Comes Again!

Lance lost his very first tooth the day after Thanksgiving. I had gone Christmas shopping for the day; and when I arrived home, Lance ran as quickly as he could to show me his "new" smile!

Cabin Trip with Friends

All the kids ... 13 boys and Brooke

The Moms ... and Brooke

The Dads

The weekend before Thanksgiving, we went to Townsend with some great friends for the weekend. Perhaps I should say that Chad, Lance & Cooper had a great weekend! Unfortunately, Brooke ended up sick, so our time was extremely limited. I'm hoping that we will reschedule for next year so that I can experience the weekend everyone had this year!!!

Family Trip to the Cabin

Ainsley and Brooke

Cooper, Quinten, and Lance

The middle of November, we went on our annual trip to Townsend to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. We had a terrific time! Unfortunately with the wet, cold weather, we were not able to go on our annual hike; however, the kids had no problems in finding activities around the cabin.

Homecoming

I had a chance recently to visit (briefly!) with some of my greatest friends from college. It was so nice catching up with them!
