Happy Birthday Sarah!!! I can't believe how much you are growing and changing.

Happy Birthday!!!

On Sunday, I celebrated my birthday.  It was a wonderful day.  We went to the movie and saw "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 3D".  The movie was very funny and everyone enjoyed it!!

Jim made me his top secret brownies.  They were deliciously YUMMMMMMY! 

Here is a photo with me and kids.  Look at all of those silly faces. 

John's 8th Birthday!!!

We recently celebrated John's 8th birthday. Wow, how can he be eight? He is growing into such a great boy. We had a small party at home. All he wanted for his birthday was some Pokemon trading cards and brownies. Jim and I decided to surprise John this year with a Nintendo DS for his birthday. What a surprise it was!!!

Getting ready to open presents. Why is dad making us pose for photos?????

John with his new pokemon cards. He LOVES these.....

Wow!!! I have been such a slacker....

So, it has been over two months since I have posted anything to our family blog. I assure you that we have been busy. I will try to catch you up.

In February,

We celebrated Jim's 42nd birthday. He started the day by attending "Dads and Donuts" at the elementary school with John and Sarah.

Here they are ready to go to school with their daddy. Matthew HAD to get into the photo.

On February 15th, Sarah lost her top front tooth. She had been holding on to it for a very long time. She was quite scared of having it pulled. Doesn't she look great toothless.

Then on February 18th, we had a large hail storm at our house. It was amazing. We have never seen anything like this before. Hail is not at all normal in the state of Georgia. We all stood in the garage with the door opened and watched it fall.

The hail was quite large and imparted a lot of damage to most of the houses/cars in our neighborhood and surrounding area. There are only a small handful of homes that are not currently receiving new roofs. We happen to be one of them. We got a brand new roof on our house last spring and it held up well. We were lucky and have no damage to report.

This is the view from our front door. As you can see the ground is covered in pea sized hail.

Finally, on February 27th, the kid's school held it's first annual Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dance. We had a wonderful time. They served us a fine dinner of Zaxby's chicken, green salad, potato chips and chocolate pudding. Enjoy the picture of Jim and Sarah at the dance.
