Ornament Tradition 2019
Last year I told you all about our ornament tradition. You can read all about that HERE. Basically I order the kids three felt ornaments each Christmas to represent their year. Here's what I ordered this year: Israel's ornaments: Cheetah - his favorite animal from our trip to KenyaBasketball - He played basketball in the winter and loved ...
Israel’s 7th Birthday
I know I say this every single year, but I can't even believe we have a 7 year old! It truly does seem like he was three years old just yesterday. Israel requested a Spider-Man birthday for the 3rd year (Keep in mind he has only celebrated 4 birthdays with us, ha!). What can I say, the kid knows what he likes! He chose a family birthday ...
Back to School 2019
How is it that these kids just keep on growing up?! Whether we like it or not, we officially have a 5th and 1st grader at our house! These two had such a fun summer that they were a little more hesitant about going back to school. Now that they are in the swing of things they are loving their classes, teachers, and being with friends ...
Joelle is TEN!
Y'all. I.CANNOT.EVEN with these double digits. Seriously she was 3 like yesterday. We celebrated Joelle with family at a local burger joint. It was super simple, but just perfect for Joelle! At home she woke up on her birthday to all things animal print. Our trip to Africa was her favorite thing ever, so I wanted to stick with those ...

Christmas 2018
I may be a little late to the game, but I thought I'd play a little catch-up! Christmas is our favorite time of the year, so I just have to share some pictures. Every year on Christmas Eve we go to the Candlelight Service at our church, find a restaurant that is open for dinner, and then go to the movies. This year we went to eat pizza and saw ...
Ornament Tradition
I wanted to share a tradition that I started with Joelle the year she came home. I actually adapted this idea from my talented friend, Cara Carroll. Each year I buy the kids 3-4 ornaments that represent them throughout the year. So, we've had a soccer ball, scuba diver, manta ray, donut, pb & j sandwich, Catboy, Spiderman... you name it! I ...
Wakanda Forever
Well, Halloween came. And Halloween went. Is is Christmas yet???? Just kidding. But this family does LOVE everything Christmas related. We don't hate Halloween, but it is definitely not our favorite. The cold, rainy weather we have had lately hasn't helped either. It just makes you want to sit by the fireplace by some twinkling Christmas ...
