Year in Review

I have been keeping up, for the most part, with this blog for one year now. Some months I have been better than most for what I have included - so I decided to have a month by month year in review.
January - Start of a new year. Super Bowl Fun.
February - Beach trip with Grandma.
March - Discovery Place, The Dead Sea Scrolls.
April - Beulah Land. Egg hunts. Beach trip with just kids and moms (Jennifer and Anna Claire)
May - T ball started (Cole) and soccer started (Katie)
June - School over. Mountain trip.
July - Fourth of July cook outs. VBS at church. Beach trip with Lee family.
August - Pre school for Katie and First Grade for Cole.
September - Beach trip with Thomas family
October - Cole and David NC State Football Game. Mountain Weekend Trip. Halloween at home. Boy Scouts started.
November - Basketball started. Thanksgiving. Cole awarded book mark contest
December - Cole awarded for scouts.Polar Express/Grove Park Inn. Puppy for Christmas (Max).

2006 was a very busy year filled with tons of fun. My prayer for 2007 is that our family continues to prosper in all areas, the kids continue to grow and learn, lots of trips and fun and Max gets house trained. I have an amazing family. Thank you God for all that you have blessed my home with. I have the ability to stay home when the kids are home and work when they are in school. It is a dream situation that we know is a gift from you. We look forward to 2007 - the best is yet to come!

Funny words

Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning."

They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.

Swim Lessons

We had swim lessons for the first time on Thursday. Both kids really need to learn how to swim. They are taking lessons from a very sweet girl named Hannah. She is a swim coach and teacher. Needless to say, she has experience. Cole was in tears as soon as heard about the lessons. Katie was pumped up and ready to go. When we arrived at the pool, Katie began to cry. Cole was trying to be very brave. She taught them the proper way to enter the pool and talked to them about the difference between the deep end and the shallow end. The lesson started with the dead man's float. Katie was up first. Katie floated and then Hannah told her the proper way to keep her head up so that her ears were under the water. Katie did not like that one bit. Hannah then told her that she would count to ten and then help her up. As soon as Katie's head was floating, Katie began to count. Hannah then informed Katie that she was the teacher and she had the right to be the one to count. Th...

Fire Crakcer, Fire Cracker, Boom, Boom, Boom

Today is News Years Eve. The kids and I spent the day at home making a cake. David went to a football game. We gathered at Marty and Jennifer's house along with the Brake family (who are moving tomorrow to Boston) and all ate soup and cake. As darkness fell, we took to the street to shoot off LOTS of fireworks - most illegal. The kids had a ball running around with sparklers while all the women watched for the cops! The husbands would light and run. Yes - it was a grand ol' time celebrating New Years Eve in the south! Too bad the Brake family are moving up north - I bet they will never see such a show up there. Well, heres to a new year.
