No more training wheels!

Chase learned how to ride his bike without training wheels this weekend. He was so excited! Of course he does not have it perfect yet but he is getting there and cannot wait to be able to catch up to Hunter.

Mama's Little Helper

Chase is really being my little helper now with me being on bedrest. For anyone who knows me well enough you know what a clean freak I am. It is driving me crazy not being able to do all I usually do. This morning Chase decided that he would help. I guess I didn't know how brainwashed I have them also! Hey they will be good husbands one day!

Carleigh was so excited to be able to join in the fun of riding the gator with the boys. Tom bundled her up... in the boys coats and she was ready to go! She didn't last long in the cold but it was fun while it lasted!

The Boys

The boys have been pretty anxious this week with Mom being on bedrest so today Daddy and Uncle Marc took them to ride four wheelers, gators, dirtbikes, etc. Even buck got to go on this trip. They are so nice and tired tonight that hopefully it will keep them calm for a little while! Wishful thinking...

My Girls!

Everyone said that when I had children the dogs would take backseat....WRONG! Lacy is still as much a baby as the other 3. Here are my girls taking a nap together. Yes, Lacy is still a lap dog, still sleeps with us and still gets her way!

Happy Birthday Reese!

Happy Birthday Little Princess! I cannot believe that you are 2!!! Next year maybe we will celebrate our birthdays together.

I had to share this picture. It is a statue in Spartanburg on 29 that my sweet friend Ginny saw and stopped to take pictures of. There are no words to describe it but it is so amzing. Hope you enjoy.

Finally some snow

The boys were so excited to see some snow this morning. They have spent the entire morning in and out. Carleigh said , " It is too cold for me". Now they cannot wait for Daddy to get home and ride four wheelers in it... that is when the real fun begins!

Yesterday was such a beautiful day we took full advantage of it being a family day. We let the boys do some four wheeling and then we all took a ride on the trails around our house. We rode to Lake Robinson. It was pretty funny.. I rode with Chase and Tom and Carleigh rode on the other four wheeler.Hunter now has the dirt bike down pat so it all worked out. Carleigh insisted on her helmet and boots like the boys... only her boots are rain boots.

Daddy's Girl!

Carleigh has Tom so wrapped that it is really unbelievable! She walks around constantly, " Daddy, Daddy". She wants her Daddy to sleep with her and brush her hair. I love it but I do have to remind her every once in a while that I am Daddy's girl too and her comment is, " NO, my Daddy!"

Monster Jam

Well the boys talked me into going with them this year to the monster jam. It was all worth it to see the excitement on their little faces. They had so much fun and Tom and I could not take our eyes off of them. The things a mom does to make her boys happy! Carleigh stayed with Meme and Grandad she said, " I go to monster trucks, no". Thank goodness!!

Carleigh and Uncle Duck

Not only does Carleigh have her Daddy wrapped she also has her way with Uncle Duck. I never thought I would see the day... Tom doing pigtails and Uncle Duck feeding baby dolls and playing kitchen. She already has a way with men... guess I am teaching her well.

Daddy did my hair!

Carleigh insisted on Tom putting ponytails in her hair tonight and this was the outcome. The sad part was he really tried and actually did them twice. Chase told her she looked like she had devil horns. She did not care at all because her DADDY did them!!!!

Desperate for Snow!

The boys were so disappointed this morning to find no snow! Chase was so excited there was ice on the deck because he thought the snow would come after the ice. This is his version of ice skating...leave it to Chase!

Tired Little Girl

Carleigh goes now until she just drops. She fell asleep in the car this weekend and

Tom and I were laughing she was snoring so loud. I guess that is what you get trying to keep up with 2 big brothers! The snoring is her Daddy's genes!

We went today for the ultrasound of the baby's heart...still no name. Everything looked great and they got some really good pictures of his face. He was showing out opening and closing his mouth. Some of you probably do not know what you are looking at but these 3d ultrasounds are really amazing.

Happy New Year!!!!

We had our own little New Year's party with our pajamas and donuts! The kids thought it was great...especially with their hats. Tom and I decided we wouldn't trade spending New Year's at home with them for anything even if everyone did crash by 9o'oclock.

That's My Boys

The boys spent the day with Daddy and Mr. Mike riding their four wheelers and dirt bikes. They had so much fun. They will obviously have a lot of tricks to show their little brother when he gets here!

Merry Christmas

What a Christmas we had! Chase got a four wheeler which solves a lot of the boys fights...thank goodness. The kids were so excited this year and so were Tom and I. They had picked such special gifts for each other and for us. Then to make it all even better Chase was quick to ask why we got presents for Jesus's birthday. Then he wanted to know if Jesus would have a party in heaven or at church. I think he may be our future preacher!
