Capitol One Bowl 2012

Brantley and Bowen scored some tickets to the Capitol One Bowl(Nebraska vs South Carolina).

Davis = IN TO EVERYTHING!

Mr Smiles is SUPER busy. You don't just sit down and drink your coffee in the morning when Davis is awake and roaming the house.

Happy New Year's!!!

While visiting Tampa I was lucky enough to drop in to my friend Jessica's New Year's Eve.

Happy 2012!

Christmas with the Overtons

On New Year's Eve morning, we celebrated Christmas with Aunt Lori, Uncle John, cousins Reagan and Weston and Granddaddy and Diana.


A new addition to John and Lori's family. Puppy Teddy!

A vist to the Turners over the holidays

While visiting Tampa over the holidays, we spent an afternoon at the Turner house. Heather and Allen live down the street from Mimi and Papa and across the street from Uncle Matt and Aunt Barbie. So, Uncle Matt brought a fishing pole over for Bowen and the kids fished and we let the little ones play. Bowen caught 6 fish!

Christmas 2011 was so special this year. Bowen and Caroline are really begining to understand the meaning of Christmas. We talked about the Nativity scene that we have and they said, "Happy Birthday Jesus" on Christmas. Unprompted, Caroline sang "happy birthday Jesus" throughout the Christmas break. I'm just so proud of my little people:) We attended Christmas Eve service with Mimi, Papa, and friends and headed back home to put out Santa's cookies and milk and sprinkle the lawn with reindeer food. The kids were fast asleep and Christmas came EARLY!!!! 5:30 AM EARLY!!!!

Bowen was thrilled to find a pile of Star Wars goodies and a Razor skooter, Caroline screamed when she found her "Tangled" dress and Barbie house, and Davis was happy with the toy lawn mower and little wagon to pull his blocks in.

We enjoyed a day at home with Mimi, Papa, Great Papa, Uncle Matt and Aunt Barbie.

Elfie finds a marker

Elfie (our elf...from ELF ON THE SHELF) found a marker on Christmas Eve. He made sure to let the kids know that he had given Santa the "thumbs up" that each had been good this year. He wrote on a photo of Bowen..."May the force be with you" and Caroline, "Have a great year sweet Princess" and Davis, "hey, stop climbing on the toilets". Elfie has such a great sense of humor. He even toilet papered Bowen's room during his stay. Bowen made a comment that he didn't think Elfie was funny. Well...Elfie showed him!
