A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Monday, April 8, 2013. Camping at Red Top Mountain 2013. My blogging as of late has no organizational sense except which pictures I feel like editing first. I haven't even blogged about Christmas! My aspiration for an extended family camping trip became reality last week. We were supposed to leave a day earlier, but bad weather (rain ALL day and in the 40s, no thank you! Amy, Matthan, and Tim. Titus enjoying a biscuit. Another highlight ...

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Just imagine how much cooler I'll be in summer.". Making mud pies, a new pasttime. Maddox and I had a lunch date. Apparently this is how he takes a selfie. Shopped to update Daddy's wardrobe. They were troopers! Made friends at VBS. Watched our friends, Lucas and Shelley, get married. Played drums, drums, and more drums, as well as the couch and inner tube ("his cymbal" he told me). Went hiking with doggies.

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Friday, November 29, 2013. O Christmas Tree, the kindness of a stranger, and one sick kid. Time for the annual let's-go-get-a-Christmas tree! We always go to Waffle House afterwards ( Davey does not break tradition). But seeing that it was lunchtime, we made the smart parenting choice to go before. At the Waffle House, she decided she wanted hot chocolate to warm up, so we obliged, splitting it with brother. While picking out the tree, t...

Not sure where he got the idea (maybe from Lailey), but in the few weeks prior to our trip to Lake Sinclair, Maddox has been chatting about "fishin' with Granddaddy" and acting quite excited about it. Equipped with a new Spiderman fishing pole, thanks to Grammy and Granddaddy, he got to reel in his first catch. Lailey learning to bait her own hook. We tried for a family photo.

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Thursday, December 26, 2013. Speaking of kids, I don't know how Christmas could be any more fun than with a 4-yo and 2-yo! Oh wait, add in the hubs who loves Christmas and traditions just about as much as they do, and it's always a blast. On Christmas morning, after our fun time opening gifts, Grandpa came over for brunch. He also came with presents! This was actually from Maddox's birthday, but still he loves it. Getting the hang of it.

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Love this little look of determination. Last night the weather was so beautiful, and I am so pregnant, so a family walk seemed like the thing to do. I can't believe we've been in our new house 7 months and we haven't done this before now. I guess after moving it was holiday season, and then too cold, and then.well, life. I hope we do it more, because we all enjoyed it. I love this one. Look out for the tongue!

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Oh my sweet baby boy. You have grown so quickly. Is it even possible you are TWO? It does not seem like long ago that you were born on a hot August night ( natural birth story. You stole our hearts from the beginning, and everyday as we watch you grow we feel so blessed by having you as a part of our family. You've grown in so many ways over the past year. At one year. You love to eat! You have funny little quirk...

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Thursday, January 30, 2014. Well, there's a lot to talk about when it comes to the snow that hit Hotlanta this week. Whether it's the reasons behind the state of emergency on the freeways (no, it's not because some Southerners can't drive in snow), the few thousand students who had to spend the night at their schools, the baby born on I-285. Or the countless stories of kindness by strangers. See that little tongue? She was so happy!

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Wednesday, April 9, 2014. Camping at F.D. Roosevelt State Park. This camping trip was one of our best yet! Despite the rough start with crazy thunderstorms which delayed us several hours, the rest of it was a blast. F.D. Roosevelt State Park. How appropriate that his shirt says "I DIG DIRT." He took a nice face plant! Even with the rain, the temperature wasn't bad, so they were loving all the mud and puddles. Buddy, that is NOT a sword!

A bit of fun, a bit of spunk, a bit of laughter, and a lot of love. Thursday, July 25, 2013. So, one morning this summer, I was sitting with Lailey and Maddox at breakfast and I had a stroke of brilliance: "Do you guys want to go to Noah's Ark. Who doesn't want to see peacocks, ducks, lions, tigers, and bears, oh my? My all ambitious plans of "packing a healthy picnic lunch" were replaced by a drive thru run. But hey, this is real life, right? Despite appearances, she did not grab the rooster. Tell me 3 ...
