Prince Caspian!

We gave Josiah "The Chronicles of Narnia" book set for his birthday this year.  He has already thoroughly enjoyed reading the first four books.  These books are close to 6th Grade level & he is reading them in the 2nd Grade.  We are so proud of him!

To celebrate, we watched the movie of the fourth book in the series.

Josiah really enjoyed seeing "Prince Caspian!"

Super Bowl!

Today is Super Bowl Sunday!

We began our day by all wearing Seahawks colors to church.  We didn't wear our t-shirts, but at least represented with the right colors.  Ethan even wore his new football overalls that his Uncle Chris gave him for Christmas!  So cute!  After church, we went to Bonefish Grill with our friends Tim, Lisa & Reagan Owens.  We had a great time with them.

After a restful afternoon, we got on our Seahawks gear & prepared to root on the Seahawks!

I prepared all kinds of football food for us & we loved every single minute of the game.

Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks!  You deserved to win the Super Bowl!

Bedtime Prayers!

Bedtime is one of my very favorite times of the day.  We get both boys ready for bed.  Then, we read Ethan's Bible story to him in his room.  Once we're finished reading, we go to Josiah's bedroom for prayer time.  We all four lay on the bed together & pray.  Ethan always lays down in Josiah's arms & Josiah loves the cuddle time with him.  They close their eyes as we pray over them together.  It is such a sweet time.  I love to sit back & watch as they cuddle & pray with us.  So sweet!  We then put Ethan to bed.  We then go to Josiah's room to read his Bible with him.  I love that whole process, but I really love Bedtime Prayers!

Ethan's Birthday Purchases!

Papa, Meme & Nan sent Ethan money for his birthday &

today I was able to purchase some items for him.

We got him a potty-training seat for & more play food for his kitchen.  He loves them.  The potty seat has already peeked his interest & the food is so cute.  It has a bowl of Macaroni & Cheese that looks so real.  There's also a bowl of cheerios in milk that also looks real.  Ethan loves his new stuff.  Thanks so much for the money for Ethan's Birthday Purchases!

Beautiful Snow!

The snow is still falling & getting thicker on the ground.  We love to look at the beautiful snow!

Snow Fun!

We sent Josiah to school today like any other day.  They weren't predicting much snow, so we didn't think anything about it.  Then, around 9:45am, it began snowing.  It came down quick, thick & it was cold enough to stick. (Ha...that rhymed)!  Then, school closed early.

Josiah was thrilled to get out early & play in the snow with his brother!

Ethan LOVED the snow.  Instead of walking in it, he kind of slid his feet in it.

Josiah & Dustin enjoyed quite a few snowball fights!

Dustin snuck a few kisses from Ethan while he was super happy & excited!

Josiah didn't care that it was cold, he wanted to make snow angels!

Ethan just wanted to push his car around the yard.

Soon after we got outside, all the neighborhood kids came to join in on the fun!

We love that we got one more day of snow fun!

100th Day of School!

Today was Josiah's 100th Day of 2nd Grade!

His class decided to celebrate by dressing up like they were 100 years old.

We found out at the last minute, so we had to improvise with what we had at the house.  He was so excited!  You can't tell in the picture, but I had even whitened his hair.  So funny!

Happy 100th day of School!

More Birthday!

Today, Ethan got three more birthday cards in the mail.

He got a birthday card from Nan with some money in it!

He got a birthday card from Papa & Meme with a check in it!

He also got a sweet birthday card from our friends Shawn, Amanda, Gabe & Grady Fox!

Ethan loved having more birthday!

Date Night!

Since Granddaddy & Grandma are here, Dustin & I decided to sneak away for a date night!

First, we went to see "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" at the movie theater.  It was great!

After the movie, we went to The Cheesecake Factory & bought dinner & cake...not cheesecake!  Lol!  We had a wonderful time on our much needed Date Night!

Playing with Granddaddy & Grandma!

Today was kind of a lazy day around the house!

Ethan & Grandma decided to play Sudoku on her iPad &

Josiah & Granddaddy played Wipeout on Wii.

They sure did have a fun time playing with Granddaddy & Grandma!
