This time of year....

Well it looks like we have officially began the new year with birthday parties almost every weekend and Matt finishing up gymnastics. We are debating whether to put him back in this session or not. He loves it jumping around and swinging from things. He knows how to pike "no room in between" and tuck as well as tumbling, waiting his turn and the beginnings of how to turn a cartwheel. Oh and who could forget, he can hold his weight up on the balance bars. Here are some of the pictures from his classes........

I have returned back to school and looks like my classes are a little easier than I had planned. Oh well, that leaves room for stuff to happen.

As if that isn't enough, we are looking to refinance/add on, buy a bigger bed and hopefully get a vacation in. Boy, do we have big dreams! Oh well, you have to start somewhere. Hopefully we can accomplish everything we want/need this year.

Will write more soon!

Dinner, Outback Style!

We had the priviledge of meeting my husband's school friend, Stephen McKenzie, his wife, Stephanie, and their two kids, Maddyson and Analyn on December 30, 2008. This is a tradition that anytime they come into town and have a spare night, we either meet them in Bogalusa or they drive to Covington and have dinner. Matthew came along as well and dinner with four adults and three kids is still feasible! The kids were well behaved (except Matthew taking down the waiter, haha) but overall everyone had a great time! Thanks, Stephen and Stephanie! We love you guys!

Here are some pictures of the kids: the first is Maddye and Matt on June 11, 2008 and the second is December 30, 2008. Maddye was born April 2006 and Matt June 2006.

Wow how they have grown!

The last two pictures are for Analyn's growth. She's the baby sister born January 2008.
