Thanks everybody who came out and celebrated with us. We are so blessed to have such great friends and family! I have realized over the past year who my real friend are and those that choose to be my friend for their convenience, who I know longer waste my time one.

Happy 5th Birtday Hayden!

Well, it's offical my baby is grown :(

Snow Day!

Well, it actually happened, it snowed a lot.......we have almost 6 inches right now!!!

My office closed and Craig didn't have to go in either, so we have been sledding and playing in the snow for about 2 hours now!

Here is a video of Riley in action......



and here is Hayden...our Dare Devil....

Snow Angels

Then the fun part......

Who needs a sled......when you can roll down the hill

SNOW BALL FIGHT!!!!!

The snowman, sorry I didn't have a carrot, so Reese cups and a candycane had to work!

Hello Bloggin World, I am alive!

Ok guys, I know I have been VERY bad at posting lately, well actually, I believe it's been over a year since I posted, so does that tell you how BUSY we have been. So I promise, I am going to try to do better this year.

I attempted to take the boys downtown the other day to get some new pics of them, notice I said attempted! My boys seem to be my only photography challenge.





However I did manage to get a few great ones......thankfully!

Here is a slideshow of all the others that I managed to get!

Am I just asking for a broken bone or what????????????

For Riley's birthday we bought a trampoline, yes I have heard all the bad stories. So far, no injuries, so what do we do......yeap that's right.....we bought the boys a MOTORCYCLE!!!! Why not, right? Craig always says, "We're raising boys around here". Hayden has talked about a motorcycle for almost a year now. Of course we have taken into consideration all the safety procedures, helmets, training wheels and throttle control. We surprised the boys and came home with it in the back of Craig's truck, they were totally shocked!!!! They just couldn't wait to hop on. So Craig rode them up and down Mom and Dad's driveway till he could get the training wheels put on. Yes, Craig can ride this thing, he looks really funny, but it flys!





But this is what happens when you crash a motorcycle only wearing your underwear!!!! It got that excited! All I can say is that I am glad that I have a lot of nurse friends at Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic!

Hayden's First Day of Preschool

Hayden always wants to do what Riley does, so of course, he wanted to go to school too. Hayden was accepted into the His Kids program at Morrison Hill Christian Church. Riley attended last year and we LOVE it. Hayden was very comfortable with his surrounding so I wasn't as concerned when I left him. He turned to me and said "Bye I love you Momma, see you later" and turned around like it was nothing. As soon as I sat down in the van, I lost it. That is when it all hit me, both my babies are in school. Neither one of them looked back when I dropped them off. They are getting so big. On to the point, Hayden loved school and has talked about it since I picked him up. Well, Riley and Hayden both passed out within 5 minutes of me picking them up. They were wore out, plus they don't like getting up at 6:45, neither do I!

Riley's First Day of Kindergarten!

Well, I have been excited, nervous and an emotional basket case over this day! Yes, I am one of those Mom's doesn't want this day to come, but on the other hand I couldn't wait for him to start his school years. He did great and has done nothing but talk about school starting. I actually made it without shedding one tear!!!!! Riley has Ms. Burgess, which was thrilled to hear, and he loves her! So here are some snapshots of his morning!
