Chattanooga Fun w/Daddy

While Mommy and Bubbies were in D.C., Daddy loaded Morgan up and headed for the Children's Discovery Museum in Chattanooga for some serious fun! What a cool dad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORGAN!!!

Mmmm, it always tastes better when someone else feeds you!

Hi gorgeous Grammy!

I thought I had this hidden well (still in the box) in the garage, but Morgan eyed it..."My fresent! Santa bringed me my bike! You fix it, mama?" So I had to put the bike together a couple days early.

Joint Birthday Gift

CAUTION: PICTURE/VIDEO OVERLOAD...PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK, BE PREPARED TO BE BORED OUT OF YOUR MIND!

We purchased this as a birthday gift for all the kids and it sat in the garage in pieces for a week, due to weather. Saturday was BEAUTIFUL (but VERY windy) and we started working on this around 11:30AM and worked until after dark. It was finally finished on Sunday...what a chore this was! It's sure to offer enjoyment/exercise for years to come. The kid in me had to jump on it, of course, and Jamie just laughed at me. I'm not sure if it was because I'm still a kid at heart or if I looked absolutely ridiculous on this as an adult - he says he was impressed with my skills...who knows! All I know is it IS fun!!!

Ahhh...finally complete - and safer!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KADEN & KOLTON!!!

It's hard to believe that this is what arrived 11 years ago - aren't they amazing?!?!?!


Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes...yummy! Now we just need some birthday candles! I'm not sure if this will be their Birthday Breakfast, After-School-Snack, or Dessert...we'll see what happens tomorrow!

SNOW!!!

March 1st and we have SNOW!! I gave Kaden's snow pants away thinking we wouldn't EVER have a need for them...oops! I feel awful, but at least he had plenty of pants to layer up. Morgan's clothing consisted of a snow suit sized 12/18 months (she's wearing a 4T now), infant hat and gloves/mittens layered up, scarf (thank you KT), and a pair of boots that squished her toes all up!!! Hey, we improvised and we heard no complaining...just fun filled laughter! Kolton actually made out, with snow pants and a coat that fit! Jamie's such a good dad/sport - he'll endure the cold weather to make sure our children have a great time. This is definitely a hot chocolate morning.

***UPDATE: Sadly, the snow melted leaving no trace behind by noon.***

Fun Outside

Morgan hates being left out, especially when it means the boys are playing outside!

She could only take it so long, being left out. She was half prepared...gloves and hat!

She has figured out that if she puts clothes on, she has a better chance of getting to go outside. Here she's playing with RJ, one of the neighbors who is so kind to her.

Grant Joshua, our new nephew/cousin!

Grant Joshua Overfield is here! He decided to come early, he wasn't due for another 11 weeks! Samantha and Josh are the proud parents of this LITTLE guy coming into the world at 3 lbs 8 oz. He just couldn't wait, but he is doing super, and is healthy (as far as I'm told)...just early and tiny. He was born in Oklahoma City, but they had to life flight him up to Tulsa because the NICU was full in OKC. WE'RE PROUD OF YOU, SAMMIE AND JOSH - AND WE LOVE YOU, GRANT!!! We'll see you soon!!
