4th of July

We had a great July 4th ( I know I am late, I am trying to catch up!!) cooking out and watching fireworks at church with our Sunday School class. The boys had a great time "playing with the big boys"--the older kids who were sweet enough to play with them, even though they really couldn't quite play! We are so thankful for how much we feel at home in Summerville--God has turely blessed us with so many fun, sweet friends!!

Boys in the Cabinet

What I saw when I opened the cabinet!!

First ice cream truck treat!

Easter Eggs..

Better late than never. Everett coloring eggs for Easter before the stomach bug hit. This is sadly about as Easter as we got this year!

some pretty good results...

desperate attempts at an easter picture...

Everett and his new friend Emerson

From start...

Washing cars

Loves Cars

water fountain

This is a picture of the boys having a great time at the battery in downtown Charleston. There was one little stream of water in this fountain and, somehow, Reid managed to get himself SOAKED! Gotta love little boys!!

Is the doctor in?

Everett and his "girlfriend", Addie Lane. and by the way the doll in her hand was the patient...

Peek-A-Boo

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

Wanna piece of this?

Enjoying the wonderful Christmas decorations over Thanksgiving with the boy's GREATgrandmother in Oklahoma

House of Bounce

Ready, set, GO!!!

Having fun at the "jumpy place" with Aunt Angela and cousin Jackson!!

Starting over....

Okay, I know it has been forever since I have written, but I am "starting over" this year and am going to update MUCH more often than I have been. I have really enjoyed other websites that are often updated--especially those that update everyday!!--so i thought I would try to update often too.
I am going to back log a bit, but will eventually catch up!!
Here is a picture of our house in Charleston--we are so thankful for what the Lord has provided us with!!

Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

First Birthday!!

Not sure about people singing to me.....

this cake seems okay though...

We can not believe that our little Reid is one year old!! No more babies around here--kind of sad, but we LOVE the person that Reid is becoming!! He has such a fun personality--he laughs and plays games, and is starting to talk up a storm! Here are some pictures from his first birthday--we can't believe how much he has changed (and how quickly it has happened!)

First Haircut!

Before

"helping"

After

Although it doesn't look like it, Reid enjoyed his first, and much needed, hairdcut! The lady cutting his hair let him "help" and comb his hair while she cut. He sat very still and then before we knew it the mullet was gone!!

First Day of School!!!

I can not believe that my little one is already in school (okay, okay, I know it's only pre-school, but still.....)
Here he is on the first day (way back in August--sorry!)--not a hint of sadness about leaving Mom....a little bit wouldn't have hurt anyone....
But seriously, he is loving school, and even made the adjustment to school in Charleston great! We are very thankful!

Flying away...

Here are Everett and Reid "flying" to Mimi's (their greatgrandmother) house in Oklahoma to visit. Don't worry--they "worked" on the plane a lot before they took off!! Reid, however, was still a little weary of flying.

Post-bathtime

Bathtime!!

It is so fun now that the boys take a bath together...they LOVE playing "bathtime basketball" ...and apparently Reid is ready to argue a call...
