Its Snowing!

We received quite the surprise this morning- SNOW! Dylan was so excited. He wanted to stay home and play but of course he had school. His face showed his wonder and happiness... it made my heart happy! When we pulled up to his school, several of the high school age children were standing outside and helping the little ones get in (just an excuse to linger in the snow, I am sure). I sure am glad that I am not a teacher today LOL! They are definitely going to have their hands full trying to keep their students attention.

Speaking of school, Dylan got his 2nd report card last Friday. He got all A's and 1 B+! His "Fruit of the Spirit" this period was "Peace." The teacher commented that he is doing great. He still loves his school and we see him growing more in knowledge and spirituality each day and we couldn't be more proud of him.

Two Years

Today is the two year anniversary of our daughter's death. It hardly seems possible. We miss her every day. Thank you to all of our family and friends for your support.

Family Vacation- Las Vegas!

We spent our family vacation this holiday season in Las Vegas. My parents (Nana & G-daddy) went with us. We flew out Saturday (12/27) and came back home yesterday (1/3).

We had a good flight on Saturday. Saturday night, Chris and G-daddy went to Sunset Station to watch the UFC fight while Dylan, Nana, and I went to the MGM and ate dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe.

Sunday we went to our cousins, the Ellis family, and watched football and ate lots of great food.

Monday, while Nana and G-daddy explored, Chris, Dylan and I met up with the cousins and took the kids to Adventure Dome at the CircusCircus hotel.

Tuesday, the five of us went to NYNY casino and resort, the Luxor, and the MGM. Tuesday night we went to Treasure Island and saw a Cirque De Soleil show called Mistere'. It was awesome! Dylan was absolutely enthralled.

Wednesday we took Dylan to a Magic/Comedy show. He loved it! He was showing us tricks all afternoon.

Thursday, Chris, Dylan, and I went back to the Ellis house for more football and food while Nana and G-daddy went to Paris, Mirage, and the Venetian.

Friday we all went with the Ellis family to Mount Charleston and had a blast in the snow (Dylan has never seen so much snow!). Friday night, Chris and I took Dylan to Margarittaville and then to Paris where we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower (very cool).

Christmas Pics!

We spent a wonderful Christmas with our family and friends. First, we went to Grandpa and Granny's house for Christmas Eve lunch. Next we went by Nana's house in order to open our Christmas p.j.'s (an annual tradition since I was little). Christmas Eve dinner was spent at Memaw's and Pepaw's house with the Overstreet family. Christmas day was spent at our house and Christmas night at Nana's. Friday afternoon we at Christmas at the Summer's (Dylan's Godmother Rachel, her husband Tre, Grant, and Tatum). Friday night we had Christmas with the Grozier's (my mom's side of the fam). We loved spending time with everyone and Dylan got lots of wonderful gifts.

Thank you to everyone who sent Christmas cards! Unfortunately, we didn't get our pics done in time... maybe next year. Merry Christmas!

Christmas/Family Pics!

Still here...Sorry

Its been a busy (and sometimes rough) couple of months. November was full of soccer practices and games, RA activities, and work, work, work. We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in St. Louis. We had a wonderful time visiting with our family there and of course we went shopping all day on that Friday!

December has been busy as well. Chris' grandmother in Hot Springs has been in and out of the hospital a lot. Chris went to see her earlier this month but Dylan and I had to stay behind (I was too sick and Dylan had his 1st b-ball game). I was sick with pneumonia one week but Chris and Dylan took good care of me. Dylan went straight from soccer season to basketball season. They lost their first two games but they had lots of fun. The 3 of us went to the Bartlett Christmas parade. We took Dottie and really enjoyed ourselves.

We plan to stick around town for Christmas and we have big plans for the New Year (we are doing our 2nd annual postChristmas/New Year/anniversary of Cedie's death- trip).

We're taking our Christmas pictures tonight. Our last attempt at family pictures did not go well (back in Oct) so we are hoping we can have better luck this time. Stay tuned!
