A Mix

Sometimes, it is the little things. Like when Camden says, "Mommy, will you make me a special mix?" A long time ago, I started doing this for him and he still asks for it every now and then. One time he asked for a snack and didn't know what he wanted, so I said, "How about a surprise mix?" He loved it! And it just stuck with us, so now it's our thing. I love sharing special traditions with my sweet boy! (and finding silly selfies he has taken on my phone!)

A Turd in the Tub!

It's all fun until there's a turd in the tub-that was my Facebook post tonight. Jaden was happily playing "swimming" until he looked down and said, Ew!" Like he didn't know he had pooped. Silly boy. He sure loves his time in the tub! "Take a bass, Momma take a bass." is what he will say when he is ready for his bath.

New Year, Old Friends

We spend New Year's Day with our good friends, the Bates'. We had no special plans except for watching the Vols play and eating chili. It is great to have friends that you can not see for several weeks and then spend the entire day together catching up. The weather was so nice that we were able to get outside and play some grass hockey. Happy 2016!

Love this lady!

Today was baby Bear's last day with our sweet Miss Caren ( and yes, this momma cried a little bit). There are not words to describe how amazing she is or what great care she takes of her kids. She has been such a blessing to us and we will miss her very much!

Silly Baby

Grandma MaryAnn

We love our Grandma MaryAnn and she just gets so tickled at the boys! I was so glad everyone was healthy on Christmas and we were able to visit with her. She loves Todd like he is her son and she and I could talk forever on the phone. She is one of the sweetest people I know and I am comforted knowing she prays for our family daily.
