Our Snow Man

Just for the record....the NC State scarf was JD's idea!!!

Snow Day!!!

We finally got the snow we have been asking for!! We had alot of fun and enjoyed our time together as a family.

Samuel and Hannah's Snow Day

These are pics from day 1 of the snow. They Loved playing outside while the snow was falling. The next day we took them out with a foot of snow on the ground and they did not like it at ALL. When they tried to walk they would fall. Needless to say we did not stay out long =)

Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!!! We enjoyed our time with the family.....I thank God so much for my family...After Mom, Mamaw's, Cynthia's and my cooking left us all very full and tired we came home and decorated our tree. Samuel and Hannah love the climbing Santa..Samuel spent most of the night saying bye Santa clause bye!!

Samuel and Hannah Decorating the Tree

Samuel and Hannah helped with the tree this year...they put a few decorations on the tree then lost intrest. JD and I had to finish while they watched TV.

Our Christmas Tree

The fun part now is keeping the decorations on the tree!!!

My Little Piano Players

I got out my old keyboard from forever ago.....and the kids just loved it. It was alot of fun watching them play for the first couple of min. Then I started asking myself what was I thinking!!! They still play on it everyday....I NEED EAR PLUGS FOR CHRISTMAS!!! =)

Off to the Beach

Samuel and Hannah went to the beach!!! At first Hannah did not like the sand and Samuel did not like the ocean. After about 4 days they got more comfortable with it. I think we will wait a few years before we try this one again. =)

Arriving at the Fair!!!

Off to the Fair

JD took the day off Sept 14 so we could take the kids to the fair. They really enjoyed it. Uncle Nicky went with us. Samuel loved the tractors while Hannah was very content just riding in the stroller and looking around. Can't wait to go again next year!!

Samuel has a new love in his life and it's called cotton candy!! He couldn't get enough.

Leaving the fair. They were so tired but had a great time. I have to say that I did as well.

Samuel's 2nd Birthday Party 9/12/09

Samuel had a great 2nd birthday party. We were going to have a John Deer party but when I took Samuel to the party store he picked up the Cars napkins and said wow! wow! and carried them through the store. So needless to say we had the Cars theme again.

Hannah's 1st Birthday Party 8/22/09

We Had a wonderful 1st Birthday party for Hannah. She got lots of gifts and plays with them everyday. Thank you everyone who came out. Can't believe Hannah is a 1 year old.

Where did the time go?

I'm turning Two!!!

I know one day he is going to get me for this =)

Well, it's time for Samuel to turn 2!!! I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I had him. I has been a true joy to raise him. We have had our battles =) and I am sure will continue to do so but I would not change a thing. God has been really good to me and my family. I give God credit for everything. For without him we can do nothing!!

How Hannah has grown! Where did the time go??

I can't tell you what a joy it has been to watch Hannah grow. It's hard to believe that a year has come and gone. Thank you everyone for all you have done to help us and our growing family.We thank God for everything. We Love you Hannah!!! Daddy, Momma, and Samuel

Samuel's Outing

Thursday May 21st Samuel went on his first fishing trip without JD or myself. Papaw and Mamaw said he had a great time. I asked them before they left to take lots of pictures for me so here they are. Samuel was so happy to see Papaw and Mamaw Thursday morning. As soon as they opened the car door he jumped right in the seat and was ready to go.

Out of the Car and Ready to Fish.

OK Papaw. Which hole are we fishing in.

The First Fish Caught

Mom and Dad said Samuel really didn't like the fish. They said when he saw the mouth he started crying.
