GREAT weekend!

We had a GREAT weekend in Cashiers, NC with Lindsey & Keith. This is what we did....


played on Facebook, A LOT!


sat by the fire & talked, A LOT!


played a hysterical game and laughed, A LOT!


enjoyed grown-up time, A LOT!!


captured a sweet moment...


enjoyed being with friends, A LOT!


drank, quite a bit! ;-)


woke up to SNOW!!!

This is what we did NOT do: laundry, make beds, wipe noses or fannies, bathe anyone but ourselves, wake up early (well, the guys did to fish but they were like kids at Christmas!), cut up chicken nuggets, pick up toys, change diapers...you get the idea! Like I said, GREAT weekend! Thanks to all the grandparents for making it possible!!!!!!

Our festivities

Big bro showing little bro how to work his very own racetrack....so he won't go for Sam's!



Brice walked around with a chocolate chip cookie, inspecting what Santa left him.



Happy 4th birthday big boy!

It's a racetrack explosion!

Just a glimpse of what has happened in our house over the past week. More later. Trying to get in bed before midnight!

They're coming...

Pictures that is! And, they're going to be better than ever! I got a new camera from my precious & wonderful husband so I've got to learn a little more about it and get the software downloaded do that I can upload the 100's of pictures I've taken - just since Christmas Eve!

So, for now, our Christmas was wonderful and Sam's 4th birthday was awesome...a superhero explosion! His 4-year well-check was today and, of course, he's perfect & healthy at 42 inches tall and 40.5 pounds. Dr. Slade predicts that he'll be about 6' 2". The four shots weren't fun but the tears were short-lived. No tears on the finger prick but I think it helped to get three suckers and a monster truck sticker.

Brice got his own race tracks but that hasn't kept him from sneaking into big bro's room for a spin or two. He loves to boogie with his Backyardigans boom box too. We've been hustling to keep up with Brice as he attempts to UN-deck the halls and climb on top of EVERYthing! He's a mess but he sure is having fun! And talking up a storm...that only we can understand.

Cross your fingers and you'll see pictures here later tonight.

Visit with Santa

Disney On Ice

The show was great! Ever since we left Sam's been asking when we can go back. It didn't dare tell him that the show ran for four night!


Sam, literally on the edge of his seat all night, would hardly take his eyes off the ice for a picture!


Clapping along...


Bye-bye Mickey!


It was a FUN date night for Mommy & Sam!
