We were at the beach so I planned to have a little party there, Lightning McQueen style. I ordered the cake from the beach Publix and everything. He just loved it! He thought it was just the best to celebrate his birthday at. the. beach. Our kids are not short on being spoiled on their birthdays. Brice and Kyle have now celebrated one at the beach and Anna turned five while at Disney World. Rotten kids!<br />

The rest of these pictures were taken with my camera so the quality is a little better. Kyle was a fun four year old. He is always up for a good time and loved celebrating himself! Ha. He is a lot like Brice though and likes to celebrate with those he is closest too, his family.<br />

Now that I look back on these pictures as I post them, I realize this was the last year of that baby face and chubbiness. He still has some pretty kissable cheeks but man I will miss that "chubb"! Happy 4th Birthday, Kyle! So happy you were able to be at the beach on your birthday!<br />

I already blogged about the first few days of July too which was NYC with Brice. In mid July we headed back to Charlotte (had gone the end of May for the arrival of Miss Sarah Catherine) for Sarah Catherine's baptism and some fun on the lake.<br />
<br />
Also, Anna caught sight of the previous post with her as Taylor Swift and was completely embarrassed and made me delete it. Stood over my shoulder until she saw the word "Delete"...<br />

This is the first time they have ever all been on a tube together. Of course, they all loved it but I think Brice and Anna could have had the boat go a little faster. ;)<br />

I will still be blogging the last half of 2015...oh well. I am bound and determined to catch back up. Although, this has been easy while we have been at the beach and our schedules have been "quiet".<br />
<br />
So, along with events throughout summer 2015, we also just had days to hang out. We also went to a lot of baseball games...baseball. always.<br />
<br />
The biggest happening for Kyle that summer was just prior to his fourth birthday, he learned to ride his bike without training wheels!!! It took him about fifteen minutes to figure it out and then he was off. I attribute this to the use of a balance bike or strider just like Anna used before learning to ride a bike.<br />

When at baseball games, all Anna and Kyle care about is the playground situation. If it has a good playground, then they are okay with going. Obviously, this makes it difficult for me to see all of the game if the playground is out of the area of the field Brice is on. But, with some awesome help from grandparents, we try to rotate who takes them to play.<br />

Above is what happens when you eat blue Ring Pops. They know they get one per game. And, below is Kyle's poor face after slamming into the bleachers at one of the games. He was trying to clean up empty Coke bottles underneath and stood up and started running before looking. I was so glad his eye was okay. This picture was actually from the next day. The day it happened, it looked awful!<br />

Anna did a tennis camp for the second summer in a row. She seemed to really enjoy it but for summer 2016, she opted out because the sessions were an hour longer than these and "it's hot"...<br />

Another random summer day where we met friends to play in some fountains. The old married couple shrieked and giggled the whole time.<br />

And, last but certainly not least, Brice's All Star team made it to state this summer. This place was oh so hot, I don't even remember where exactly we were except south Georgia near The Little White House. Brice's team did very well and I was excited for them to be able to compete in the state tournament for the second summer in a row.<br />

Well, we weren't able to actually take the trip until the summer time! There are several reasons for this but I would have to say the biggest reason is: baseball. So, we decided we would be able to squeeze it in over the 4th of July which meant, I would get to be in NYC for my birthday!! Awesome.<br />
<br />
My parents were kind enough to take Anna and Kyle and have their own kind of fun up at my sister's house on the lake. In the end, all five of us had a fabulous 4th of July! My birthday, the 2nd was on a Thursday so that was the day we headed up there. We hit the ground running even though we had a super early flight which meant being up super early. Our hotel was about a block from Times Square so we headed there first, walked through the Toys R Us and then went to Central Park and over to The Met. <br />

He enjoyed the Egyptian period the most, which of course I think is the most creepy but, I was glad he got something out of it and we were there for quite some time.<br />
<br />
For my birthday I wanted a NY pizza and a beer and so we found a restaurant that was in kind of a creepy part of town and we couldn't see the restaurant without going in and up some stairs. We were nervous going up those stairs but it turned out to be a very small place that was very delicious. After dinner, we headed to The Empire State Building. I can't say this was Brice's favorite as the height got to him. I love being atop there though and being able to look out on the whole city. Even though there are always lots of people up there, it seems so quiet compared to the busy streets.<br />

On the 3rd, we had tickets to Statue of Liberty and I think Brice enjoyed this the most. We got up early and headed to Battery Park to take the ferry. It was a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky and there is such a beautiful, patriotic feeling I get when approaching Lady Liberty.<br />

We also went to Ellis Island which I think any of us should appreciate. I mean, this is where our ancestors entered America!! It is so hard for me to imagine what it had been like on a boat coming across rough waters and battling sicknesses. And then to get off at Ellis Island would have meant being so close, yet so far away with the lines and paperwork.<br />

We tried to hit all of the highlights, Financial District, World Trade Center Memorial (very emotional but very important for those who were not alive during that time to see), Grand Central Station. It was great being there over the 4th because everything was very patriotic! For the 4th, we went on quite the adventure and walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to watch the fireworks explode over the city. It was extremely crowded, so much so, that they shut down the park area and were not allowing any more people to enter. While this sounds like a good thing, Justin had left the boundaries of the park to find food and was almost not able to get back in! So, we watched the Macy's Firework display from Brooklyn and then, yes, had to walk back over the bridge and quite a ways before we were able to find a taxi. Our dogs were barking to say the least!<br />
<br />
The World Trade Center museum is quite impressive. I had messaged back and forth with a childhood friend about visiting this beforehand. She has lived in NYC for some time now. If I remember correctly, she told me that she cannot bring herself to go into this museum. Having lived there during 9/11, I can only imagine. The museum is not just a museum but quite like Pearl Harbor, it is where these people lived their last moments here on earth. Several of the visitors were crying. They did a beautiful job with the displays but after an hour of being there, even Brice, who did not live through 9/11, wanted to leave. There is something about it that makes you feel as though you are invading loved one's grieving space. At the same time, I feel as though all Americans who were not alive during 9/11 should visit this museum.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy 4th of July, 2015!!!</span></div>
This was a great trip to take a kid Brice's age on (10 at the time). We have now told Anna that we would take her when she turns 10. I do hope this actually happens because I would love to visit NYC at Christmastime and go see the Rockettes! While Brice's trip catered to the boy interests of the city, Anna's will definitely be a trip in girl version!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043210138302811181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155940629081234295.post-32370391367601040482016-12-30T21:28:00.002-05:002016-12-30T21:28:56.486-05:00I'm BAAAACK!!!Hi All,<br />
I realize it has been over a year since I have blogged. My plan, this time last year was to spend the week between Christmas and New Year's catching up from summer of 2015. Well, my poor computer had slid off a pillow cushion and the screen and keyboard communication was compromised. On top of that, I had, according to Justin, "mismanaged my computer". I should really take a class on computers, I suppose. I feel as though I was the last class in college to not get my education using a computer. Sure, we used the computer to take tests on, including my nursing boards, but I do not know the ins and outs of computer use...<br />
<br />
Anyway, Justin spent quite some time recovering pictures and contacts from my old computer and has set me up on a svelte new one!!! It has now taken me another week to recover my user name and password on this blog. My hope is to now catch up the past year within the next month, soooo, be ready for some rapid blogging! I know most of you follow me on Facebook so you know what has been going on in our lives but I don't do this just for you. ;) I am also looking forward to going back and reading through blogs that I stopped reading because I don't enjoy reading my phone.<br />
<br />
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and here goes nothing...!!!<br />

I don't even remember when tickets when on sale for this concert but let me just say that Anna got her "1989" album for Christmas and locks her door like a teenage girl and rocks out to every.single.song and so some tickets were in order. Oh and I may know every word as well after sneaking the CD into my car during preschool hours. Really, every song is SO GOOD! Point is, the two of us just couldn't wait for Taylor to show up in Atlanta in October and Blaire conveniently timed having a baby prior to her concert in Charlotte and so the stars aligned, Daddy got out the credit card and we had ourselves a big time!<br />
<br />
The concert was on a Monday night and so Anna and I left on Sunday to head up to Charlotte so we could spend time with Sarah Catherine and Christian and Blaire and Josh too of course. We listened to the CD the whole way up to their house. I haven't been to a concert in quite some time and to take Anna to her first one, just the two of us, was just a very memorable experience. I think Anna just felt very grown up getting to be with just me, staying up late and of course getting to see her hero!<br />
<br />
I had heard on the radio that Taylor Swift had bracelets passed out at the concert that lit up but had forgotten about it until we walked up to the ticket scanner. The usher hands us each a bracelet and Anna was so excited. She wanted to get to our seats right away but we had to eat first so we went and got something to eat (and shared a table with a mom and her two older girls). After we ate, we found our seats and listened to the guy opening. I can't remember his name but he sings "Riptide"...Anyway, Anna wanted nothing to do with this guy and was totally confused. So, we went and got her some Dippin' Dots. Came back to our seats and Taylor didn't come on too much longer. I was a little concerned that her new "style" may lean towards inappropriate in her concert but it was a class act all the way. Even some of her older videos I won't let Anna watch because it's just not something I feel comfortable letting Anna see. However, in concert, she is fun, energetic, and puts on quite the show. I would seriously go back every night if I could. Yes, I had just as much fun as Anna did and may be a little Taylor obsessed now too. Not even sorry about this.<br />
<br />
During the first song, the bracelets starts lighting up, not just with one color light but multi colors and flashes to the beat of the song!!!! So, when you look out at the crowd, you see everyone's lights flashing. And so, without further ado, I give you pictures of Anna at the Taylor Swift 1989 World Tour Concert. Some pictures and videos are from my phone.<br />

She opened with "Welcome to New York"! Complete with siren sounds going on in the background. Every song was complete with every detail.<br />

Below, Taylor sings "How You Get the Girl" which is my favorite because I feel like it is part "old Taylor" party "new Taylor" since she has made the jump from country to pop.<br />

And, yes, the dress lit up with tiny lights and the umbrellas did too. One of the lyrics has to do with rain and so, Taylor made it rain on stage. Of course she did!<br />

At this point, Taylor walked out to the end of the "runway" so to speak. Then the runway detached from the main stage, one end of it went up at an angle and out over the floor seats. Then the runway rotated towards each side of the arena. And, I'm pretty sure at one point, she looked right at US. Ha. Kidding of course but it was so cool feeling like we were that close to her.<br />

Then she rotated around to the other side of the arena. She also talked during the concert and has such poise about her for being so young. She seems to be such a great person.<br />

The best part of the night was when Taylor left to go backstage leaving the crowd thinking she was done but not having had sung "Shake It Off". Anna was very tired at this point and I could see the tears welling in her eyes. How could she NOT sing "Shake It Off"??? I looked at Anna and said, "I know she isn't done, she can't be.", although it did seem that she was finished. She had after all, had about seven outfit changes and played guitar, piano, danced, sang for two hours! And, then she appeared in a bright green sequined outfit, came out on the runway and blew it out of the water. I had grown weary of that song but seeing her perform it and dance it was amazing. I took a couple bad pictures with my phone and then put it down because I just wanted to soak up that moment with Anna. She was grinning ear to ear and singing along, which I did video a little bit of, but it was just the icing on the cake. It was such a fun night!!!! If you can get to one of her concerts, GO!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043210138302811181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155940629081234295.post-44640986422502235062015-06-25T20:36:00.002-04:002015-06-25T20:36:48.489-04:00The End of MayYes, it's the end of June. I can't keep up with anything! The house, the groceries, this blog. But, we have had some big events this summer with some more to come so I feel like I should try to document them. At the end of May, the kids got out of school which meant lots of awards, programs, and celebrations. Kyle participated in a program called Playball after his preschool on Tuesdays. It is 45 minutes long and each week they focus on a new skill or game. If you know Kyle, you know he enjoyed this. The kid loves any type of ball and being physical. Justin was able to come with me and see him receive his medal, which Kyle couldn't wait to get!<br />

Here he is with Coach Michael. The medal was worn for a couple days and now it is hanging in his room next to his trophies. He sees Brice receive many accolades so he loves to be included in awards like this! Coach Michael filled out an evaluation form and said Kyle excelled at ALL the physical "tests". Not. Surprised. <br />

Kyle also finished up his season with the Cubs. He improved from fall ball. One game he hit two off of coach pitch. He is already planning for next fall ball. This kid loves baseball!<br />

Onto Brice...he ended the year as well as he started. All A's all year long, made the Million Word Club, received the Georgia Author's award for his class, award for fitness, and biggest of all was chosen to be a member on the school's Leadership Council. The council is new for next year's 5th graders. There were only 5 students chosen to represent 5th grade and they will be working with the middle and high schoolers as well. I am so excited that he made this as he really wanted it and I think it is just going to be a great program all around. One of the Assistant Principals will be guiding the students. (She also happens to be married to one of Larry's cousins!) Small world, great community. I would include a picture of Brice but I only took one when he was receiving his awards and he just saw it and said, "I look like an idiot."! Brice does not like recognition in a crowd which means he won't smile! He has a lot of Justin in him but there are quite a few of his mother's traits in him as well. :)<br />
<br />
And, while all of these awards are wonderful, what I want most for my kids is for them to be kind to others, and put others first. The first week of summer was a little rough with learning how to be around each other so much of the time. We all got to be together for a car ride up to Charlotte to see the newest member of the family, Miss Sarah Catherine!!! Blaire had her on Memorial Day and so it worked out nicely for us to drive up for a quick visit and back again in the same day. I am so glad we went. These pictures are actually from the 2nd trip I took up to Charlotte but I will go ahead and share them. So excited to have another little girl in the family. Anna is the most excited, I think. She has flung herself into practicing motherhood, stuffing baby dolls in her shirt, making Kyle be the Daddy, has mastered swaddling, and has been asking lots of questions about carrying and birthing a baby. For whatever reason, the question of where do babies actually originate hasn't come up and for that I am thankful!<br />

Here she is! She is just precious and has been a very good baby so far. And, I may have dressed her in this after giving her a bath. I love babies. I love bathing babies so this was pretty much heaven for me. :)<br />

And that is how we spent The End of May!!! You will NOT want to miss the next post!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043210138302811181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155940629081234295.post-20036450536881788022015-05-15T18:36:00.001-04:002015-05-15T18:36:01.974-04:00Cinderella And FriendsThis year Anna's performance was on May 2, my Grandma's birthday which is so fitting because my Grandma loved dance! And, she really loved tap and this was Anna's first year of tap so it just made my heart happy knowing this love of dance had been passed down three times over. Oh and if that didn't make it a girly enough day (read: NO baseball), Princess Kate went and had a baby PRINCESS!!! EEk! Ok, I'm slightly obsessed with the royal family, ridiculous, I know but I am and don't care.<br />
<br />
Back to Anna. This year's performance was titled "Cinderella And Friends" which was a little different. Not as much as a story line as her previous performances but still fun to see. And, of course all the little ballerinas were just in awe of the older girls playing the Disney princesses. Anna had two different dances, one for ballet and one for tap. For ballet, her class was Fairy Godmother's Magical Pumpkins and for tap, they were "Olaf" who is the snowman from Frozen. (Explaining that for my sweet Uncle Bud, who turns 95 on Sunday!!! and while up on most of his current facts, he probably hasn't seen Frozen!) All of the costumes were incredible this year which made me so happy because I did not care for last year's.<br />
<br />
Anna did a wonderful job in her two performances and I love seeing her onstage. She was so excited the morning of and I was happy to see that. I took her down to the theatre, just the two of us, and we sang along to Taylor Swift and just made it a fun girly time. Hair, makeup, costume, singing and dancing and performing!<br />

There are more in her Olaf costume which was driving her crazy, itching her, because that dance came after the pumpkin dance. And, the stuffed Olaf, she just HAD to have. She spotted it after her dress rehearsal in Cracker Barrel and I told her she could ask for this over flowers. Daddy spoiled her anyway and got her both.<br />

Easter is my favorite holiday and I just didn't know how I felt about not being home. I must say it turned out wonderful. We went to church at the beach and the out to brunch, all after Easter baskets and hunting eggs. Justin really wanted a picture of us all on the beach in our Easter Sunday best and sunglasses on.<br />

And, Brice loves to find shells in the ocean and basically stays in the surf all the time when we are down at the beach. He spotted something in the ocean and couldn't quite determine what it was just by seeing it in the waves. He caught it and it ended up being a tiny baby sea turtle!!!! What the heck?? I had no idea you weren't supposed to catch these things or call when you found one, I only found that out later when I went back to the beach with my mom and sister. Anyway, he pulled it out and we all fell in love with the little guy. Brice looked like a big nerd in the pictures I took of him holding it so here is sweet Anna...as well as a quick video of him swimming. Kyle named him Squirt.<br />

We all had a great time and it was so fun being in our newly renovated condo!!<br />
I am now caught up on the blog...Wahooo!!! Just for a hot second because life is always happening around here. Tomorrow is Anna's dress rehearsal and cousin Christian turns 2! Crazy. Then, Saturday is Anna's performance and after that we head to Charlotte for the birthday boy. So, I will do my best to keep up through the month of May, which can be crazier than Christmas time!<br />

This meant that school parties were the last days before spring break which makes for a busy schedule. Anna and Brice also had Arts Night at their schools during the week. Anyway, I won't go into detail but I had to be very on top of things to make it all happen.<br />
<br />
Kyle's party was on Thursday.<br />

He found all 12 eggs (yes, they each get 12 because that is "fair", no losers in this generation...are you sensing my sarcasm??) within two minutes and then just walked around...<br />

That evening was Anna's Arts Night where they had lots of art work on display as well as a little performance prepared for us. The theme was "jungle" or "Wild About Learning" so Anna wanted to dress as a jungle animal. Luckily, she was in the front row so we could see her because her last performance we didn't even get to see her because her class was stuck in the back corner of the stage.<br />

I love the picture below because this is what she does when she gets nervous...puts her tongue in her cheek or bottom lip. Brice ran up to take her picture and I guess she realized that we then knew where she was in the group! Kindergarteners signing is so sweet to me and usually very entertaining!<br />

The next day was Good Friday and Kyle was out of school. Blaire and Josh and Christian had come into town so Blaire, Christian, Mom and Kyle and I met up at one of the parks. We were one of two parties there, I couldn't believe it. The boys had a fun time together, even if Kyle has trouble saying "Christian" (he has a Tristan in his class and I think he was confusing the two), so he calls Christian, "Aunt Blaire's baby boy".<br />

After we played and had lunch, then Kyle and I headed over to Anna's school for her egg hunt. They walked all the Kindergarten classes down to the baseball fields and it was a hike for all of those little legs. Plus, it had warmed up quite a bit by 1pm so Kyle and were very warm!<br />

My crazy girl...I fear the teenage years, greatly. She was so excited to get not one but two prize eggs, although again, no losers, so they all ended up getting at least one and were able to pick a prize.<br />

I guess I did convince Brice to be one last season so I shouldn't complain. However, the Cubs are one of the Cardinals biggest rivals, so...<br />
But, seeing Kyle's enthusiasm and excitement and super cuteness in a baseball uniform at this age never gets old! This kid would play baseball all day everyday if possible. Unfortunately, we cannot seem to get his season started due to all the rain. Justin decided to add a "scrimmage" to the beginning of their season because all of the little boys kept wearing their uniforms to practice! They weren't supposed to start until after spring break but with the additional game, they played right before spring break.<br />

Kyle's games technically didn't start until after spring break but when your older brother has two games a week, you want to wear your own uniform. Since it was nice out on this day, he dressed as if he had a game and we headed outside for a practice game. He packs his own bat bag up and tells me exactly where the dugout is and everything. Very organized.<br />

As you can see, most of the picture are of Kyle because he still thinks it's fun for me to take his picture most of the time. And, then of course he is home with me more than the other two. My goal is to be caught up on blogging before the end of this month. I think I might make it, we'll see!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043210138302811181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155940629081234295.post-12049490951185567352015-04-20T20:12:00.002-04:002015-04-20T20:12:39.156-04:00International Dance AcclaimAt the end of February, Anna participated in her ballet studio's International Dance Acclaim. It is a competition of sorts, not necessarily against other dancers but for one to compete against themselves. Each class is taught the same short routines and then if the dancer chooses to do it, she is judged based on her own performance. For Anna, her age had two group dances (which consisted of one other dancer from her class) and then one solo dance. Each piece was maximum of one minute. I was able to go into class at one point and record her doing each piece so that she could practice at home. Needless to say, she was very nervous to do this and so we practiced each evening for about a week before the big day. The boys even participated in preparing her, although they didn't attend. (Brice had baseball and I didn't feel like keeping up with Kyle during nap time). Justin and I were able to just enjoy watching our girl without distractions.<br />
<br />
She was very, very nervous when I dropped her off in the adjoining studio where all the girls were warming up and getting ready. One of the sweet moms who was helping out took her under her wing though and talked to her until some other girls her age arrived. Her age group is the youngest group who is eligible to participate so they were first! Yikes. And, then, she was the first one to do her solo and I will say all her practicing and preparing really paid off! She did so, so well and we were really just so proud that she followed through with this experience. The judge was only sitting about ten feet from where the girls were dancing, as well as the parents because it is held in the dance studio, not an auditorium. She was quite proud of herself and couldn't believe she finally had a medal! She sees the boys receive trophies season after season and was feeling a bit left out. She even wore her medal to class the next week. :)<br />

I, of course, clearly remember being ten myself. And, not only <i>being</i> ten, but <i>turning</i> ten. I had wanted my ears pierced so badly and mom had said I needed to wait until I was 13. Somehow, I was able to talk her into my 10th birthday and you better believe on July 2, 1989, we were at the mall getting my ears pierced! I even remember what I wore!<br />
<br />
So, I wanted Brice's birthday to be fun for him despite the nasty weather coming in. We knew well in advance that he would be off of school that day for President's Day. I thought that was pretty cool given that 2 out of 3 of my children will most likely always have school on their birthdays. Brice chose to have three friends come over and Justin took them all to the Georgia/Auburn basketball game. The boys had a blast but Justin was ready for a little down time when he got home! This was on Valentine's Day, which was a Saturday so then two of the boys spent the night. We had cookie cake and pizza when they got home and then the boys got really loud in the basement making up some basketball game. Kyle loved every minute of hanging out with his big brother and friends!<br />

Brice, I love you so much and am so thankful that you made me a mommy ten years ago. You have blessed your Dad and I with so much joy. We have enjoyed watching you grow into a fine young man and pray that you continue to live with the integrity you are already.

Mainly, Kyle. And, I'm talking every two weeks...ear infections, stomach bugs, a virus that I thought was the flu, strep throat. Anna and I have also both had the stomach bug as well, she had it three times and I had it twice. This winter has been no joke. I was seriously beginning to worry about Kyle, as in considering having blood work done or something. It all started when we went to Charlotte to see Blaire and Josh and Christian after Christmas. We weren't even there for 24 hours because Kyle woke up vomiting the first night. It has just been rough and now I am so thankful we are into spring!!! I am praying after the pollen falls, we will all be free of sniffles and sick germs! And, to see his face, was just pitiful. See what I mean?<br />

We also got to deal with some pretty icy weather here in Atlanta, twice. Luckily, we were only negatively affected one time and lost power for about 36 hours. I ended up taking the kids to my parents' house for one night. The first morning we woke up without heat, we tried to make the best of it. We still had our gas stove to use, so I made bacon and eggs and pancakes while bundled up. The remainder of the day, I stayed on the couch under blankets.<br />

The kids didn't seem to notice or mind the cold and continued acting like the crazies they are. Then, I decided we couldn't sit in the cold house anymore and we went bowling and out to eat. Pretty sure that is where Kyle got strep throat. So, you know, confirmed my fear of leaving the house in the winter even more. Ugh. These cold snaps happened right around Brice's TENTH birthday which I will blog about next! <br />

P.S. All of these pictures are from my phone because we both know I did not have the energy to pull out the real camera during this time! But, I am kind of liking this way better so, we shall see!<br />

It was a fun trip and kind of a work trip. We just completed renovations and needed to go down and meet with the contractor at that point to set things in motion. So, for New Year's Eve, we went to Pier Park which has outdoor shopping and restaurants and at 8pm were going to drop over 10,000 beach balls! The kids were excited but I think Justin knew what he was going to have to do...sprint to find three beach balls once they were released!<br />

It was also much chillier than we anticipated so we huddled together waiting for the countdown and then after Justin secured three beach balls, we headed back to get to bed!<br />
The next day, however, warmed up quickly and with one of the pools being heated, the kids begged me to go swimming. And, swimming they went!<br />

And that is how we rang in the New Year of 2015!!! I am headed to the beach with Mom and Blaire this weekend and my plan is to try and catch up on the blog so hopefully that will really happen.Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043210138302811181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155940629081234295.post-70645897705013941352015-03-03T12:18:00.001-05:002015-03-03T12:18:23.032-05:00Christmas...2014Yes, we celebrated Christmas in December...ugh! I am so behind on this blog! Anyway, will post a few pictures from our Christmas celebrations for you and then do some other posts about January and February (my baby boy turned....10!!!!).<br />
<br />
First, we celebrated with Blaire, Josh and Christian at my parents' house the week before Christmas and then Christmas Eve and Day were fun too. We saw all the family like we usually do, spent Christmas morning here which was so nice and then on the 27th, we headed to Blaire's. I think Anna was probably the most excited for Santa this year. I will try to just hit the highlights with pictures, mainly for myself to keep this blog updated. :) You will be able to see which gift was a the big hit! Christian just loved being with our kids which I love seeing too. Can't wait to add a little lady to the cousin mix this late spring!!<br />

Every year on Christmas Eve, we would go to church, come home and have dinner and then Blaire and I were able to open up ONE gift. It was always our ornament. I was only able to spend a few hours with my Grandma this Christmas season due to illness (will blog about Christmas later) and so I enjoyed really looking at the 13 ornaments I could identify from them. Most of them are Hallmark ornaments so they have the year marked but some years they would pick out one that wasn't marked so I lost track. I also had already packed 98% of the ornaments away. Either way, here are 13 of them. I have a feeling my great Uncle Bud will be showing these to Grandma...thanks, Uncle Bud! I hope she remembers this tradition as well as I do. Now my parents do it for my kids and I love it!<br />

I am not even sure when they stopped giving Blaire, my cousins and me our ornaments. I know we all received the same one in 2003. The youngest cousin, Kristen graduated high school in 2003, I think so that may have been our last one. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for starting this tradition. Grandpa, I miss you everyday!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043210138302811181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155940629081234295.post-86255087624673736172014-12-17T20:40:00.002-05:002014-12-17T20:40:51.462-05:00Anna Claire Turns Six!Our little Anna turned six last Saturday, the 13th, even though she is really not that little, 48 lbs and about 46 inches tall. I am not sure where the time is going. Anna is still a big "Frozen" fan and wanted that to be the theme of her party. So, one day at Hobby Lobby, I got a little carried away with the decorations offered over there and had dreams of turning our house into a snowy, frozen, wintry land. She also wanted to make a snowflake ornament so we did that, along with Play-Doh Olaf's and two games, Pin the Nose on Olaf and Frozen Bingo. We didn't even have time to make our Diamond Ice bracelets but the good news is one of Anna's friends has a birthday in February and also wants it to be Frozen themed. So, I am selling all my decorations and unused craft to her!<br />
<br />
Anna woke up on her birthday bouncing off the walls knowing it was her birthday (she has been dying to be six!) and that it was her party day as well. We gave her our gifts right after breakfast and then got to work setting up for her party which was at 1030am.<br />

After breakfast, she was crazed and couldn't wait for everyone to arrive for her party. I love that she loves her birthday because I know there may come a day when she thinks it stinks that it's 12 days before Christmas...I did not mean to do that to her, promise!<br />
<br />
Let the party begin!<br />

So, from Nana and Pa, she got a "Fancy Nancy" dress. In case you don't know Fancy Nancy, she is right up Anna's alley! Always dressed up and trying to be fancy by using French words and be so mature. Anna saw one of her friends in this dress (at the friend's Fancy Nancy birthday party) and asked for it. I think she kind of forgot about asking for it though.<br />

Anna had a great party and made sure to thank me afterwards which made me feel good about putting it all together. I had so much fun planning and executing but I will tell you, five and six year old girls are a tough crowd and I was nervous! Justin overheard one girl say that "this was the best Frozen party ever!" and she herself had a Frozen party with a two young ladies dressed as Anna and Elsa from the movie! Woot! Woot!<br />

Here are some pictures to prove it as well as our visit to see Santa this past weekend. We did celebrate Thanksgiving at both my and Justin's parents houses but I failed to take the camera out of my bag at the Reynolds's house. Sorry! Both of our moms prepared an awesome meal and we left extremely full!! As for Santa, he was kind of a bummer for us this year. He was too young and didn't really talk to the kids. Just wanted to make sure we got a good picture, which I appreciate but, I want them to have the experience mostly. We only have a few short years left of it. Brice is so far gone, I felt badly for him this year. Anna is going to put it all together soon I feel like from the fact that I told her we aren't getting an Elf on the Shelf. Anyway, Kyle enjoyed the experience and was so excited to go see him so that kept me smiling through the line. He is SO excited about Christmas this year.<br />

Thanksgiving this year brought the good with the bad emotions. Mom celebrated one year of being cancer free on November 1st and I think for the first time in a long time has felt like herself again. What a ride she has been on. We are so thankful for the doctors and nurses that cared for her, especially my Dad who was probably the biggest rock star for her throughout the year. And then the hardest part was the beginning of the holidays without my grandfathers and without Justin's grandmothers. I haven't blogged about it at all but when Justin and I got married, there were five grandparents between the two of us. This is quite remarkable to say the least. Well, this year, we lost four of the five between April-Larry's mother, June-my dad's dad, August-my mom's dad and September-Robin's mother with my maternal grandmother being the last living. Their legacies live on as do memories...My side didn't always spend Thanksgiving with grandparents but we did with Justin's side and there were two sweet ladies that were very much missed this year.<br />
<br />
Okay, Santa pictures! And what do you do when you stand in line waiting? Make crazy faces of course...<br />

Yep, too young looking. And, this was on a Saturday morning. Wouldn't you bring out the best of the best on a Saturday morning in December??!? Oh well. Kids were able to place their requests so we should be all ready for the big guy's visit!<br />

My kindergartener. My light, my sunshine. This girl has grown leaps and bounds in the past year. She has matured so much. She is so very independent and loves how much she can do by herself. She gets herself up every morning, gets dressed, brushes her hair and comes down for breakfast. She then packs up her school bag complete with snack and water bottle. She is loving and rocking the kindergarten world. We have also discovered just how competitive Anna can be when it comes to school! While I want her to be driven, I do hope this does not lead to unwarranted stress. She can be quite boastful when she wants to be so we try to keep that in check as well. She is reading on a first grade, four month level and loves reading. She initially had trouble and still does some weeks with the full days of kindergarten and going five days, along with ballet and tap on Thursday afternoons. She is enjoying those classes so much as well, as tap is new for her.<br />
<br />
Anna remains full of drama on most days (lots of prayers from me going up because some days I just don't know how to handle her!) but she is also such a wonderful sister to her two brothers. She will help Kyle with most anything and the two of them play so wonderfully together and giggles are constantly erupting from whatever room they are playing in. She does also try to mother him just a little too much here and there which frustrates him and leads to tiffs! He stands his ground with her just as much as she stands her ground with anyone. This girl is not to be messed with and yet still can be shy and not want me to leave her if she is uncomfortable somewhere.<br />
<br />
Anna has been dying to lose a tooth and well, last week, October 28th, it happened! It was kind of loose one day and then the next day she wiggled it quite a bit but I could tell it wasn't going to come out no matter how much she wiggled it that day. Then over that weekend, I could tell it was uprooting. Monday went by and then Tuesday morning when I was dropping her off at school, she opened her mouth for me to look at it and I knew right then and there she would lose it at school. I prayed all day that she wouldn't misplace it, or swallow it, or bleed when it came out. She said her friend Landon (who hasn't lost any teeth) told her to move it with her top teeth and then she said it just popped out into her mouth and then she spit it into her hand. Her teacher had her take it to the clinic and they gave her a little tiny treasure box to keep it in. She was just busting at the seams when I picked her up from school that day!!! Couldn't contain her new smile! And, of course, she was super excited for the tooth fairy to visit. So that is the big event I was referring to in the last post about Anna! Our little girl who is rapidly becoming our bigger girl.<br />
<br />
This past weekend, along with Halloween, brought Anna's Christmas performance for her ballet studio. They had a little trouble getting a better day for their performance so it was super early. However, this production is so beautiful and I just love it. The first half is excerpts from the Nutcracker and then the second part is the Christmas story complete with the dancers becoming the Advent wreath themselves. It is just a wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season, even if it is only November 1st. This does not mean that we overlook Thanksgiving. I put out my decorations today and love enjoying the month of November!<br />
<br />
So, as you can tell, Anna is doing just so so well in her little life. I am so proud of her and she continues to amaze me daily with her energy and light and yes, even her sass! Below are pictures from the performance and the tooth! Her class were Sugar Plum Fairy Angels....her best costume yet which unfortunately we don't get to keep (the studio reuses them every year). Seriously, they just looked beautiful onstage and this was the first year of these costumes.<br />

No injuries, no crying, everyone waited for the little guy and there were no complaints. The weather turned cold pretty quickly this afternoon and so the adults were all bundled up. And, yes, Brice wore the same costume again. He enjoys being scary. Anna was Queen Elsa from "Frozen" and Kyle chose to be a shark this year. I'm not sure where he came up with this idea but we have had the costume for quite some time so...<br />
<br />
I am also including on this post some pictures from our "pumpkin patch" that we went to on Monday afternoon in the 85 degree heat! No kidding. Quite ridiculous but we needed some pumpkins. Every year I want to go do a fun festival and pick pumpkins and do a hay ride. Life is crazy though and we always end up at the church down the road. The kids enjoy it enough and it has become tradition without it meaning to be. I know the money goes to a good cause so that makes me feel a little better about the cost!<br />

I do still have the other two children around. However, Brice has long been over me taking pictures of him and Anna, well, she takes a long time explain! Kyle, he's easy. And, it's been a big fall for him. Actually, I was thinking the other day I am due for a post per child. Just typing up some day to day memories to always have about each child. And, Anna is about to have a big moment in her life, so she and Brice are VERY overdue for their own post.<br />
<br />
All that to say, last Saturday, Kyle Patrick Reynolds hit the mother load when it comes to end of the season trophies. Granted, there was no winning or losing during this season. This was a pure "participation trophy" which my and Justin's generation has come to hate. However, Kyle is in Brice's room quite a bit, almost drooling over all of his trophies and wondering when he will get one of his own. Well, his wait is over. After his last game, we walked a few feet up to the picnic tables and had some ice cream with his team and Justin handed out trophies. These kids were just so cute this season and there will never be anything like watching a three year old play baseball. That big old helmet that makes them look like a bobble head and the shy smiles when they get a great hit and get to slide into the bases. Just. Too. Cute.<br />

And, there it is, baseball fans. Kyle's first season in the books. Yes, the trophy is sitting on his dresser right where he can see it as he drifts off to sleep each night. The boy loves baseball.

And, yes I am way behind on this blog and updating. Sorry! But, I have to say, this game was so very incredibly cute. Kyle was super excited! He identifies with being a boy so much now and doesn't even like for Anna and I to ride with them over to the ballpark. He wants it to be just "the boys". The game is simple, no score is kept. They bat through the line up twice alternating sides after half their team bats. Then they sprint to the field! One hour, no batting cages. Easy and fun and boy do those kiddos love running the bases!<br />

I felt really bad putting it off this long but we were trying to fit everyone's schedules and even still, my mom wasn't able to make it because she was in St. Louis taking care of her dad. However, this was the day after his first practice so he had a pretty kick-ass weekend!<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, Kyle chose a Thomas the Train themed party over a "Cars" party. He has LOVED Lightning McQueen for about a year now but I asked him over and over and he always answered Thomas! It was just family and it was fun because Kyle was very excited and couldn't wait for his cake and to see everyone. I went pretty simple with the food and just did some wraps from Publix, chips, fruit and veggies and tea and lemonade.<br />
<br />
I love celebrating my kiddos and their birthdays and even though this was simple and small, I still enjoyed seeing Kyle's joy at everyone being there to celebrate him!<br />
