Skating Stars

Today was Reagan's skating party - a chance to show off the skills she's learned over the past 9 weeks.  After the party, family and friends are invited to skate with the students.  To our great surprise, Cooper wanted to skate today!

 Didn't make it too far out of the parking lot before both were asleep!

Puppy Love

Believe it or not, Reagan and Cooper have really taken to the dog of a couple in our small group.  They just love Essie and ask about her all the time.  They were able to visit with her a little tonight...and then the dreaded question came..."when can we get a dog?".  umm, if I have my way, that'll never happen!

Sunny Sunday

I can't say enough about how beautiful this weather has been this weekend!  After church, lunch, ice skating practice, & grocery shopping, we got outside to enjoy this weather.

family excercising

 Cooper bought a potato gun at Dollywood yesterday and shot everyone and everything with it today!

 while the kids played on the field, Greg & I went for a walk

 Reagan brought her bubble gun

National Sibling Day

Happy National Sibling Day!!  As Reagan said, 'what's not to love about siblings day?"!  I had to be at work really early this morning, so Greg was in charge of school drop off ~ code for "fun dad takes the kids to breakfast!".

breakfast at Bojangle's

After school, more outside time with bubbles

when I asked for a Siblings Day Picture, they got the giggles!

a break in the laughter

the family that watches cartoons together...

TIRED

Christmas break has been a lot of fun, but it can wear a couple of kids out!!  They were fast asleep as soon as we put them to bed tonight.  Only 3 more days until school starts back...Tuesday morning is going to be rough!

they fight all day, but love to sleep with each other at night!

Friendly Competition

Just a little friendly competition before going to school.
