Ellison's Masterpiece

Ellison's school had an Art Showcase last week and Ellison was proud to show off her Masterpiece. 

Bye, bye February

This year is flying by!  As temperatures rise (in the 80s), I guess its time to say goodbye to winter and post a few of our fun memories!

Farmers Market Fun! 

Fishing with Uncle Tim. 

It's that time of year, Girl Scout Cookies!

Chiefs on the Run... or should I say walking while holding a four year old.

Wild Kratts with wild boys!

Having fun in Dad's new truck.

Solar Bears Fun

 We had a lot of fun on a family outing to see the Solar Bears.  The tickets were part of a family fun event for Dylan's school and I wondered if I was slightly insane for not only setting up the event, but purchasing tickets for a late game on a Friday night.  Well, I have to admit... it was stressful getting there, but it was a FUN night!  I think the pictures and videos prove it.

Dylan with his friends!

Ellison loved the Game!  She also loved to take silly videos. This one cracks me up..

Solar Bears were not doing to hot... but they made a comback.

 The above photo led to this video from Ellison :)

Dylan eventually had enough and so we entertained ourselves with a cute dancer while we waited for the game to finish.  He didn't mind... can you tell?

Our Life Update

My posts have been few and far between.  Fortunately (or somewhat unfortunately), I am pretty positive that the only person that reads my blog is Ashley.  So in an effort to make my sister happy (and possibly a few others out there), a few needed updates on life...

Basically, my kids are still hillarious and slightly crazy!

We have been cooking delicious food... 

Ellison has aged quite a bit... 

I have enjoyed smores with Spiderman (who happens to be a fellow Gator)...

It appears I share my humble abode with a fellow Queen...

Our favorite new toy is Dad's new truck! Graham loves the truck for the built in cooler, the kids love the truck for the pure purpose of playhouse...

And finally, Dylan is still the happiest kid I know...

as long as he gets his coffee!

He is my child after all!

Me = Coffee Addict

Dylan = Coffee Addict with mostly cream!

Trike a Thon FUN!

 Lets just say that Dylan is not timid on a bike.  He was ready to go, rode the course, and then finished strong with brisk jog around the track.

Best friends finishing strong, finishing together!

They were a bit tired at the end!

Sea World Season

It's been a few years, but we once again are happy to have Sea World passes. The kids and I enjoyed a very full day at the park. Both kids love animals and interesting facts about animals.

Ellison has begun to comandeer my phone to make videos. This one has a funny ending.

We spent over an hour at the Dolphin nursery.  Dolphins are Ellison's favorite animal.  Dylan spent time exploring the map and figuring out where he was.

The Turtle exhibit was Dylan's favorite spot minus the 3-D movie, which sent him into tears.  I guess 3-D is a little to real for the little guy.

It's a Christmas Wrap..late

So I am a bit blog-strated.... My new term for frustrated. I can not get my Christmas photos to load to my computer. After two unsuccessful tries, my camera is dead and my charger is missing. So in an effort to move forward and begin my 2015 blog posts, I am moving on and just posting the few photos I have.

Christmas was great this year. The kids were very thankful and happy for the items they received. I have to state how proud I am of both children, because they have stopped expecting so much and really appreciating the smaller things. I think the change is a culmination of several things andI am very proud of them. This year our family shopped for several others that could not afford Christmas. Both children were affected by the thought that others are not blessed as we are.

Thank you for our many blessings.
