Jan Misc

We are off into 2019!
James and Harrison each have a good buddy who happen to be brothers which always makes for a fun play date after school

One guess on who insisted Moana join us outside

Ready to try his new skateboard
Mario Cart marathon 



Showing off her new Elsa shoes from Aunt Whitney.  Sweet girl truly believes Elsa loaned them to her. 

Loving his Mario book 

The struggle when nap time is too short 
She insisted on bringing her lunch box full of chap stick and lip gloss wherever we went this day. The girl loves accessories!

My parents braved the cold for one last winter boat ride and I thought it was such a sweet moment 

The joy we feel on pizza night 

Harrison "helping" by washing Kate's hair for her 


We had a FREEZING cold lunch at the new Sonic


It was Kate's turn for a special date with mom and dad 

She was hilarious eating the chips and salsa- she loved them!

We had a gorgeous afternoon at the park 



I say it a lot but we are blessed with two great big brothers in this family 




Kate is different than the boys in lots of ways and one of them is that she insists on sleeping with a million stuffed animals and books each night 

Ready to swim!

These two love a picnic 


H was so happy to earn his pizza coupon for reading at school 

Chapel day at preschool

I made the mistake of leaving a sharpie in arms reach of the pack n play at nap time... 


The funniest thing is that Andrew freaked out when he realized it wouldn't just wash off. I also asked him why he did it and he said, "I wanted to write my name and I wanted to be black."  Later when Ryan asked him why his answer was, "because".  Well hard to argue with that. 

Multitasking with his show and tell homework and hot chocolate 

I came home one day to a sweet note, flowers, and drink from Ryan. I think I'll keep him!

Quick afternoon Starbucks date with this cutie 

For reasons unknown A, K and H have begged for months to go eat at Taco Bell. The ONLY time we have ever gone there was to stop and use the bathroom on the way home from the beach. Well James had a birthday party one night and I told Ryan we needed to take these kids so they would stop asking to go! 

The cinnamon twists were a huge hit 

First time sleeping in her new sleeping bag 
J and H were giving swimming lessons in the bathtub this day 



I don't think they will all fit much longer 
Sleepover night with daddy 


Hard at work making her bead bracelet 


Working hard on quixels 

We had a family Just Dance party to get some energy out on a rainy Sunday 

We are officially done with our high chairs at the table! They had been using them as a booster seat and they were so nasty and one day I finally said, "no more!" The end of another era. 

School lunch with my favorite kindergartner.  

He was so proud to be the table washer this day 

Super early breakfast at Chick fil a before school 

I love seeing these two playing together when I pick them up from preschool 

puddle jumping!

Trying to keep everyone entertained during James 8 am basketball game 

J and A went to Greenville for a night and these two were super happy to have a special time together.  

It's amazing how everyone gets along when we split people up! I also have been trying to be intentional about splitting A and K up and splitting J and H up lately. 

Harrison, Kate and I joined J and A in Greenville for a fun day when they had a teacher work day. 

We loved getting to see Davis!


This picture doesn't do the moment justice but Andrew was SO happy to be running outside during a rain shower 

I got to meet sweet Jordy!

cuddles with mama 

Sleeping in the latest fort 

I loved everything about James's answers on this 

Family game time 
Andrew had a special time with Daddy which included a trip to Target to pick out new band aids. The kid loves Target and band aids.  Decisions decisions... 


We are getting back into our weekly Saturday movie night 

Kate loved her new Frozen dress 

She has been super sweet and cute lately. Love this age with her! By far my easiest 3 year old out of the bunch. 

She does have her moments though- like when she sits on top of her brother to put her shoes on

Another Monday, another day of swim lessons. 

Harrison always makes me laugh with what he chooses for his treat when I eat lunch with him. It is never what I would have chosen! 

Andrew was back to rocking his man bun

Bike ride time

Love how big his happy is!


Sweet cousin Facetime 

My little monkey. And yes they refuse to put away their Christmas tree. Some things aren't worth fighting!
