Our little tumbler

As a young teen I did gymnastics and loved it. My sister and I both went to Tumble Town It wasn't until later when I got into high school that I did one year of cheerleading. While I liked cheerleading, gymnastics was what I really enjoyed doing. Now that I have a daughter of my own I definitely want them involved in something as soon as possible. Maci is getting enrolled in gymnastics! A good friend of mine has a daughter around the same age and they will be going to Starz Elite! I am so excited! Pictures will be posted of course when she goes to her first class. I can't wait! I would enroll Chipper in a dance class but when Maci and I have our dance sessions at home (yes me and Maci often turn up the music when Daddy is gone and dance around the house) he looks at us like we are crazy. He wants no part in it. OH Well! T-Ball will be here before we know it!

It's been a while

So it's been a while since my last post. Work and family has been keeping me busy! Yesterday was a great day! After I got off work the family met Haley, Brian, Granny B, and Papaw Jerry at a park here in BG and we all got to spend some time together. Those four I am sure are the culprits for my kids being spoiled rotten! After that we went home and had dinner and decided it was time to paint our pumpkins. Maci painted more of herself than she did the pumpkin. She is a lot like me. She is impatient, strong willed, and independent and Chipper is so much like his daddy it's unbelieveable. He was concentrating so hard on every little mark that he made. William is very artsy and can draw almost anything. I on the other hand can't draw a straight line with a ruler...seriously..It's bad. Here are a few pics from last night.

 

She is an absolute mess! :D

Jacksons Orchard

On Friday we spent some quality family time with some of my inlaws. Williams grandma, grandpa, cousin and uncle all met us at Jacksons Orchard and we had a nice outing. It was so different from last year. The kids weren't walking and their wasn't anything they could do besides sit in their stroller and marvel at everything. This year they were running everywhere, climbing on hay bails, sliding down the slides. They had a blast. I really enjoyed the company of the family too. A lot of people complain about their spouses family but I can really say that I adore mine. When I look at Haley I see how much she cares about my sweet babies and loves spending time with them and it warms my heart. As much as she cares about the kids I know they care about her just as much. When they see her they light up. She is such a sweetheart.

I am so blessed with great family and friends. I cherish the time that we get and all of our traditions that involves my loved ones. I haven't always had that and sometimes I forget and take it for granted. God has given me more than I deserve and more than I could ever ask for.
