Congratulations, Josiah!

Tonight was the Royal Rangers Council of Achievement at church.

Josiah was saved until last for his group because he earned extra badges for all of his hard work both at church & at home.  He now has so many badges on his award's vest.

At the end of the night, Commander Johnny called Josiah back to the front to specifically point out what a wonderful young man of God he is.  He pointed out the badges he's earned.  He also challenged the other boys to read the Word & apply it's teaching, like Josiah has done.

I am so proud of Josiah for his hard work & love for Jesus.  He's always eager every night to read his Bible before bed.  He's always eager & excited to work on another Biblical activity to earn badges.  I can't wait to see him grow up to be a man working for God's kingdom!  Congratulations, Josiah!

ONE Marriage Conference!

This weekend, Dustin & I attended ONE Marriage Conference at Free Chapel Church in Gainesville, GA.  Dustin & I have been so excited about this.  It's been 5 years since we've been away together & it's the 1st time we've both been away since Ethan's birth.

Free Chapel is a beautiful church.  We were so happy to see our friend, Micah Massey leading worship for the entire conference.  He did an amazing job!

Friday night & Sunday morning, Jentezen Franklin spoke & was awesome!  Both Saturday sessions were led by Mark & Allison Rutland.  They were both moving & hilarious!

I had a wonderful weekend away with my sweetheart.  We DO NOT want to wait another 5 years to get away together.  So, we're going back next year to ONE Marriage Conference!

Granddaddy & Grandma!

Granddaddy & Grandma came to TN tonight to spend the weekend.  Dustin & I are going to Atlanta, GA to attend a marriage conference & the grandparents came to watch the boys!

They brought Valentine's day gifts for each of the boys.

Josiah got "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2!"

Ethan got a Mickey Mouse motorcycle with Mickey Mouse & Pluto figures!

The boys love their gifts & they love their Granddaddy & Grandma!

My Sweet Twin Boys!

These two love each other so much & they love to dress alike, too!

I love love love my sweet twin boys!  Ha!

Fun with Friends!

Tonight, Josiah went to Richard's 8th birthday party!

Richard is one of Josiah's friends from school.  He had a great time playing at the gymnastics center & munching on cake & ice cream.  He especially enjoying having fun with friends!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Josiah didn't have school today due to the snow we've had all week & Dustin didn't have to work because it was his day off.  We were so excited to all get to spend the day together!  We started the day by giving the boys their "Valentine" from us.

Page One of their Valentine!

Page Two of their Valentine!

Page Three of their Valentine!  This one really excited them!

We told the boys we'd go on our family outing after Ethan's morning nap.

Before Ethan napped, Josiah grabbed a book to read to his little brother.

I just love the way these two boys love each other so much!

After Ethan's nap, we went to Fuddruckers for lunch!

The boys were too cute & funny in their Fuddrucker hats!

We all ate a yummy lunch & the boys even got to each get a homemade cookie.

After lunch, we went to "The Lego Movie!"

These two were so excited about seeing the movie.  It was super cute & funny!

This afternoon, we opened a few more items.  Uncle Chris sent heart-shaped cookies from "Cheryl's."  Dad & Mom Moody sent me & Dustin a card with some money in it.  We love you!

They also sent the boys each a musical Valentine.  Ethan's card sang "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" & Josiah's card sang different "Alvin & the Chipmunk" songs.

Granddaddy & Grandma told them in their cards that their Valentine's gifts are coming in person next week when they come to visit.

These are the sweet cards Granddaddy & Grandma sent our family!

Each year for dinner, we eat a heart-shaped pizza & watch Valentine's Day videos!

We enjoy our annual tradition for dinner.

We ended this day of love by munching on some of the heart-shaped cookies Uncle Chris sent us.  They were yummy!  I am so blessed to have three guys in my life that love me every single day & I am so blessed to get to love them in return.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Another Snow Day!

This morning, we woke up to this beautiful sight.  This is our front yard!

This is the gorgeous view from our back yard!

Dustin & Josiah built four snowmen while I prepared their decorations.

It may look like the snow was melting, but that is from them rolling the balls of snow on the grass.  These snowmen were so big & took a lot of snow!

On the left is Dustin.  He even has on a Park West Church scarf.  Next to him is Ethan.

Beside Ethan is Josiah's snowman.  Then, on the right is Carla's snowman.

Here is Dustin standing next to his life size snowman & Josiah standing next to his!

After building the snowmen, Josiah went to our back yard for some fun sledding.

The neighborhood children all came out to play as well.

Josiah had a really great time on another snow day!
