Father's Day

We had a fabulous Father's Day!  The kids started the day by telling Clark that he has a fishing trip coming up:

Walker and Everly were super excited to surprise Daddy with a trip with his two best buds.  Too bad he has to wait for the trip!

Then, RayRay and Bunny got to spend the day with all their grandkids!

We had a great day.  Eating fajitas and swimming.

RayRay with all the grands.

And, Bunny had to join!

Fun time with family is the best!

A Family Valentine

Clark and I had plans to have an "after the kids go to bed" date for Valentine's Day.  But, we decided it would be more fun to have a family Valentine's!  Everly helped me decorate the table and make a few things.  Clark cooked some amazing steak and we had such a great dinner.  The kids like that I let them drink their milk out of champagne glasses!  Everly loves to set a beautiful table.  I can't imagine where she got that! 

Here are ALL of my precious Valentine's:

The most handsome boy….

And, beautiful girl.

I feel confident that a new tradition was born.  Family Valentine's from now on!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is my favorite.  Get dressed up, church, lovely meal, great family time.  What else could you ask for!??!  This year was fantastic, as usual!  Frosty and Linda and Bunny and RayRay joined us!

We got some more frame worthy pictures.

Love this of the girls:

And, the hilarious boys:

And, we used the good ole iPhone timer for a pic of all of us.  ha!

Then it was time for presents!

And, my favorite picture of the night!!  Blessed with this little family:

Merry Christmas!

Frame Worthy

This is a post just to show off some great pictures!  Merry Christmas!

(Yes, these two precious girl are both in leather pants!  Love it!)

Relaxing Weekend

Memorial Day weekend…. we didn't have any big plans, but Clark had an extra day off, so we made the most of it!

Walker and Everly went to a swimming birthday party….. They were super exited!

Walker grew a little facial hair….

We went to church and lunch on Sunday.  Ruggles Green has become quite a favorite lunch spot for us…

The babes spent Sunday night with Bunny and RayRay and Clark and I went on an anniversary sushi date!  Then the next night, the storms came!  We were in an actual tornado warning, so we took the family to our closet….

It was safe to go back out to the living room, but these two didn't want to go to bed because of all the rain.  I think they were a little tired:

We finally convinced them to go to sleep in our room.

Thankfully, they fell asleep quickly and it was easy to move them into their rooms when we went to bed.  Now, every time it rains, they ask if we need to go to the closet!  ha!

Pretty as a Picture

Happy New Year!

Back in November, we had some family pictures taken by a real photographer.  It had been almost two years, so it was time.  And, as always, Joyelle impressed!!

I love all of these!

I have to include this one…..

It was freezing… literally.  I think it was 30 degrees.  I really thought that it was going to be a horrible session, but obviously, (and, thankfully) I was wrong!  We kept taking our coats on and off in between pictures. The kids handled it really well and I'm so happy to have such great family pictures!
