Julia and her ABCs

Julia loves to sing, just like her mama. She is growing a love for listening, singing and dancing to music. Enjoy!

Easter and Nascar

Well, we took the kids to their first nascar race this past weekend. Johns work provided pit passes and junior pit passes so we all got to go into the garages and see the cars up close. I was able to get some really good photos. It was a nice time. . .loud, but nice. Johns dad was able to come down and go to the race with us.

All because John works for Chevy!

Easter photos are a little out of order but you get the idea.

The Easter Bunny hid it in the dryer :)

TANGLED!!!!!!

Dylan was so excited!

Spring has SpRuNg!

We have been SO BUSY with school, baseball, visitors, trips and just adjusting to life in Virginia. We are making some GREAT memories and loving each experience. Here are some photos of the fun we have had.

Visit to NC and from Grandma and Grandpa

We took a weekend and went to Raleigh NC to visit Johns aunt and uncle. We spent the weekend with them, laughed and made some great memories. A few days later, my mom and dad came down for a week. We played outside, went to Monkey Joe's and Johnny Mike got his new glasses. We are enjoying the nice weather and being able to play outside with 60 degrees in March. Virginia is treating us well.

Getting ready to go down the slide at Monkey Joe's.

Michael is probably going to NC State. Deb bought the kids shirts so we needed a photo!

Love you all and hope your days are happy!

Welcome to Virginia

Well, I haven't updated as much as I would like but I don't really know who all checks this thing anyway. In short, We moved out of our home in Michigan, spent Christmas at our parents houses and then moved to Virginia. Not much has happened, just the usual with moving. John is doing his best to adjust to a new school, Dylan LOVES his new school, John is getting the hang of his new job and Julia is helping me at home a lot these days. Here is a random mix of the last few months. Hope everyone is well and please know we love you!

Our Paper Christmas Tree

Since John is in Virginia and we move out of our house in 6 days, we didn't put up any Christmas decorations. I usually have my Tree and trimmings up by night time on Thanksgiving so this has been killing me! SO. . .we made a paper Christmas tree. The kids and I colored ornaments and glued them on. We hung it in the kitchen so we can see it everyday. LOTS of Fun!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Halloween 2010

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween. We had lots of activities! John had his last soccer game, school parties, Halloween party at my parents house, Trunk or Treat at Church and of course Trick or treating. Lots of photos and lots of fun! Love you all!

Dylans face explains it all! He NEVER lets me take his picture so him posing for this one was GREAT! Happy Halloween!
