Diaper Cake

Jamie, Nancy & I had a baby shower for Julie. It was lots of fun to hang out with the girls for a little while. Jamie & I decided to make a diaper cake. It was so much fun & turned out so cute!!

I can't wait to make more!

My dog, the beaver

We joke around that Ivy is part beaver. She loves to chew on everything! She has chewed on our Leland Cypress trees, my azalea bush is gone and she chewed part of the kids playset off. The other day I caught her in the act :)

John Paul Jones

The 2nd grade has a Wax Museum every year. Each child is assigned a historical figure and has to write a paper on them, dress as the character and give a speech about who they are. Colton was assigned to be John Paul Jones. I didn't know who that was, but now I do! He is considered the Father of the American Navy and is famous for saying "I have not yet begun to fight!"

The class did a great job. Even I learned something new!

SNOW

This year turned into a fairly decent year for snow. We actually had enough for a little sledding. The kids LOVED it!! We had to quit when Papaw pushed Colton toward the fence & Dusty turned his ankle trying to save him :)

Vols Basketball Game

Dusty & I took the kids to a UT Mens Basketball game. They had a blast! Colton is really into basketball right now & loves watching the Vols. Kenleigh had to wear her cheerleader uniform & was rooting them on from the stands!

Ponytail

Kenleigh's hair is growing! We finally have enough to put up in a ponytail :)

Uncle Richard playing Santa at Julie's

We had a wonderful Christmas! Uncle Richard came up from Texas & stayed with us for two weeks. It is always great to have him around. We started Christmas morning at our house - the kids must have been good because Santa sure did deliver! We headed to Julie's to open gifts with the Trimbles & Stubblefields & ended at Papaw & Kay Kay's house. We had our annual Christmas dinner at Julie & Aaron's - it was delicious!!!
