It's Been A While...

I have not blogged all year. So, this is my attempt to update the past 6 months! Lame, I know!!! We have had so much going on that I don't know where to begin. This is probably going to be the longest blog post ever, but I will try to post more frequently!!

The boys love, love, love going to Poppa and Nanna's house. A few weeks ago, Noah got to learn how to shoot a bb gun. And he actually hit the target! I love this picture of he and Poppa. 2 of my favorite boys!

                                                       We have spent lots of time goofing off and taking pictures of ourselves. The boys constantly want to use my phone to take pictures. Ethan prefers taking pictures of his own feet. I thought this one turned out well. I love how you can almost hear the boys laughing in this one!

                                                    Noah's teacher, Mrs. Nancy, gave the boys these tinted sunglasses. They both resemble Elton Jon in this picture...

                                                  Easter was a success at our house too! Easter week end, we took the boys to see Ethan's first movie at a theater, HOP, which was very cute! The boys did great. Then, the Easter Bunny came and the boys racked up!

                                        The egg hunt was indoors, due to the weather, but still fun....

                                                               The big one.

                                                  We spent all day in KY at Poppa and Nanna's. I love how sweet these two look! Ethan still looks mischevious....

                                                    Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Pam gave the boys this fabulous playhouse...they love it!

                                                  I LOVE this picture of "BabyChloe"!!!!!!!!

                                                  We've already spent a few days at the park. We took this picture right before leaving a couple of weeks ago and spent hours at Chickasaw...

                                                 This is my best friend Tiffany. We went to the Carl Perkins Exchange Club benefit. The theme was 70s and we had a great time finding outfits. Yes. We are wearing Bump-Its.

                                                  Field day was a success again this year. I love that Timmy takes off work to spend the day at Noah's school! I don't know who had more fun...

                                                 Ethan takes after his Daddy. He can fall asleep anywhere...on the couch...

                                      ...in his Buzz Lightyear outfit....

                                          ...in the shopping cart at Wal-Mart...

                                                 ...and in the car!

                                                  Noah's last day of school was yesterday. I cannot believe I have a second-grader! This is one of his good friends, Caraline. She saved him a seat on the last day of school...so CUTE!!!!

                                      The boys are constantly playing in water...

...or in mudholes... 

 Timmy is coaching Noah's ball team again this year. He is also the commissioner for Noah's league. Here is a picture of Noah with the game ball!

 This is Noah and his friend Tyler Meek. I have known Jennifer from Mayfield since I was 4! We took swimming lessons together years ago. And now our boys look so grown up!!!!

Noah won the Citizenship award in his class this year. He also received an award for making the all As this school year.  

Things have been very busy here! This is just a brief look at what all has been going on! I will try to update more soon! Love you all! C

Another successful Christmas has come and gone...

 Ethan received the drums he has been asking for for 3 months...

 'Santa' came and ate every single sugar cookie...

 Noah received 3 castles, Batman/Joker stuff and every other toy he asked for...including a video/digital camera. Which ended up with a picture of me in a towel after a shower that was shown at Timmy's aunt's Christmas dinner...

 Daddy enjoyed the new Wii games more as much as the boys did...

 We took the boys to see Ice/Snow at the Opryland/Gaylord hotel in Nashville the week end before Christmas. Granny, Aunt Kim and cousins Braden, Makayla and Riley went with us! We had a great time!

 The ice sculptures were amazing!

The temperature inside was 7 degrees. That is why we got to wear these fabulous coats/parkas. Notice Ethan on the back left. He was so bundled up that he could not move. We literally had to pick him up and carry him up the steps. It was so funny!

We rang in the new year with several cousins at the house! We had a blast until 1:30 in the morning and have had an awesome week end of being hermits and playing UNO tournaments. I really, really dread Noah going back to school in the morning! One of his Christmas presents was a Legos alarm clock. He was so excited to set the alarm for 7:10 in the morning, so he can get up "by myself" in the morning. Noah has pulled 2 more of his teeth since my last post. Another bottom tooth and his front, middle tooth. 2 days before Christmas. Each within 24 hours of the next. He has become quite the tooth puller!

Timmy and I will celebrate 10 years of marriage Thursday. I cannot believe I just typed that. 10 years!!! Oh my goodness!!!! We are trying to come up with a quick get-away for just the 2 of us, a quick beach trip during Spring break with some close friends and then our fabulous week long beach excursion with Poppa, Nanna and the crew! I am so excited for vacations this year!

Will post soon ASAP! Love! 

P.S. The only New Years' resolution I have had for the past 3 years has been to lose weight. I have finally reached my goal weight and lost 30 pounds since March of last year! My New Years' resolution this year? Be more appreciative for what we've got!
