Homeless Week

This was our last family picture at our old house...the day we moved out.











Between the sale of our old house and the closing on our new house, we were homeless for a week!  And the week just happened to fall on Spring Break!  I don't know how we lucked out, but it was pretty nice since I usually take the kids down to the farm for that week every year anyways!  And our builder was so nice to let us move in on the weekend before school started back up, which was Easter weekend...so the big move began on that Saturday morning.  We were fairly settled in by Sunday night, so the kids were well rested and ready to start the week at school!


Spring Soccer

Not so sure about the weather for Spring Soccer...Logann's fingers were so frozen...we made a point to pack the hand warmers and mittens for the rest of the games! 




Valentine's Activities

This year we made our own Valentine's shirts with heart doilies and sponge painting the puffy paint!  The girls had fun but it was quite messy.  I prepared a pink breakfast-dinner with heart shaped eggs, waffles and cream, and pink milk.  I was able to attend both Logann and Peyton's class parties!  We cherish our three little Valentine's!

A Piercing Party!

For part of Logann's birthday present, she wanted to get her ears pierced!  For the longest time, she'd go back and forth on her decision, but thankfully her beautiful cousins (Hannah and Natalie) said they would go and get something pierced with her!  Hannah was the brave one and got her nose pierced first.  Logann followed and got her ears done, then Natalie went last and got a few more holes in the upper part of her ear!  We threw some ice cream in the mix and it was a successful girls day out!  Peyton was there through it all, so as her reward, we came home and ordered her the cutest pair of magnetic dolphin earrings!











Logann's Marathon Birthday!

Logann turned 7 on January 7th!  We had a very busy day.  We started off by loading up and heading south for her family birthday party at Grandma and Papa Dukes' house.  We had some fun with a pinata and Grandma Great even took a few swings!  After her party, we headed out to Crabtree to celebrate Great Uncle Lloyd's 90th birthday.  He is the girl's Great-Great Uncle!  Following that gathering, we headed back up north for the small friends party back at our house.  This year, Logann decided to invite just the neighborhood friends that she usually plays with after school.  Even though it was a busy day, she said she had the best birthday ever because she got to spend it with family AND friends all in one day!
