Ebbie tonight

Ebbie while hanging out on the couch....."ooh, Mom, it's 'Girl Meets Texas'!'

Me: "oh good baby"

Ebbie after pushing play: "UGH! It's part 1. I mean why do they do that? I HATE parts!"

Summer Trip - Part 1

This summer the kids and I were blessed enough to go on vacation yet again with our best friends.  Like every trip we ever take....it was filled with almost as much drama as fun times! We were suppose to fly out of Memphis at 7 am on the 30th but of course our flight got changed to a later time which caused us to miss our connecting and have a LONG layover in Minneapolis.  But -we know how to make the best of a bad situation and at Austin's suggestion, we took a trip to the Mall of America.  We had a blast (or my kids and I did - Fran and WP are not big fans of rides).

Of course we did eventually get back on the plane and head to Missoula.  Once there, we had to stop at Wal-mart before heading to remote Lowell, Idaho.  The drive in at 3:00 in the morning was ROUGH especially after being up for about 20 hours. We prayed for safety and laughed a lot  along the way (probably from delirium) - but also at signs like this.....

Ummm....Really?

.....and by Bo saying he saw a Moose (which we did!) but then he said he saw 2 Meese (as in the plural of Moose).  Fran and I were so tired that we were basically like "yeah...Meese, I think that's right"!

We did finally make it to Jep and Laura's Cabin.....THANKS again to them for lending it to us for the week!!!

Lastly, congrats to Bo who made the U11 - D1 B-Team in soccer.  He loves soccer and kicks it morning and night (that's often how I know he is awake - I hear the soccer ball!) We are so proud of his accomplishment and look forward to watching him play over the next year!

Ebbie's Birthday

Here are some pictures from Ebbie's birthday in December.  We had lunch with her at school the day before her birthday, then on her actual birthday they had Grinch Day at school so she work her best Grinch outfit.
For her party, we had a Winter Wonderland Party here at our house.  It got a little hectic with karaoke and a houseful of girls but Ebbie had a wonderful time!

Bo's Birthday

A few pictures from Bo's birthday in October. We had a joint party with Lowe Sims at D1. The boys played kick ball, dodge ball and football.  Most importantly, they had a lot of fun!
