Memories...

1st Christmas 2006- Kendall @ 3 months

I finally had all my picture files placed on the new computer. Organizing them is quite a task but I have loved going through them.....starting back in South Carolina in 2006 w/ Kendall's birth in Columbia. And to think I register her for Kindergarten next week!!!!! Here are a few of my favorites from our time in SC to Jace's birth in TX.... hope you enjoy!

Kendall @ 4 months

Christmas Morning 2011

While most of my pictures got erased, I am very happy to still have this video of the kids on Christmas morning.

Away in the Manger

Christmas program at K & J's preschool..... they did such a great job!

We are heading to Hollywood b/c of this performance.

Texas Visit

Sweet, sweet friends of mine from my mom's group in Texas.

My wonderful friend, Cathy, threw a birthday party for Kendall and Jace and invited a few of their friends from our old neighborhood. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned down to the cupcake stands Cathy made for K & J. And those cake balls were soooooo good! Thank you Cathy!

Curt, Jimmy, Dan, and Matt....

On Saturday night, we went to dinner with a VERY large group of our neighbors. It was a blast and so great to see their faces again. We just picked up right where we left off.

Party of 17....Such a fun night!

Kids and their bikes

Jace got a "big boy" bike for his birthday and he is doing really well using the pedals. Almost everyday we get home from school, he is ready to ride. So cute!

No training wheels!!!!!! What a big girl!!! She had the motivation to learn and off she went.

Working hard to get those pedals going!

I love these 2!

Love that smile!

A little coaching from Daddy

I have so many thoughts going through my head as to how I want to write this post about my little man turning 3! He has turned into a little boy overnight, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. While I miss the baby he was, I am loving watching the little boy he has become. He's good at so many things. 1 of his better talents is having the ability to rattle my every nerve. He's excellent at that! :-) All joking aside, he is the sunshine in my day. Just like this moring when he woke up to tell me he has his "show and tell" item ready to go for his "fwiends" at school. Or when he goes onto to tell me, "My fwiends will think my cookies are fantastic." (his birthday cookies he brought to school) Or, the best....when he introduces himself to people as "Jace Man." He just might be the coolest little 3 year old there is.....well at least his Mommy and Daddy think so!

I love to see his independence grow and know this year will be one of so many new adventures for him (and Mommy, too!).

Happy Birthday Jace Man!! We love you more than words can express!

Happy 5th Birthday to our sweet Kendall!

Look at my big 5 year old girl! I am so proud of the little lady she has become and how many facets of her personality have developed. At the same time she wears a tutu and princess crown, she is ready to wrestle with Daddy. And while she still sings "Mary had a little lamb", she is a champ at belting out the top 20 hits on the radio. My heart beams with joy when I think of what an amazing little girl we have been blessed with. Happy 5th Birthday Kendall!

(Go back the archives on the left side of the blog and click 2008. Scroll down to the video of Kendall singing "Jingle Bells". I could watch that video a million times.)

No training wheels, Mom and Dad!!!! Whoa!!!

Heading off to Pre-K

Loving life at gymnastics!

Add a splash of sass and there you got it.....Miss Kendall

Disney Characters

My favorite one of Kendall!!!!

The funny thing about this picture is that 2 seconds before I took this, the kids were both like...."who are these people?" Made for a cute pic though.
