Upward Ceremony

The night after Grandparents day was the Upwards awards ceremony. Ty had a great time being introduced with his team and proudly came through the streamers and then sat with his team. They had a magician there that was great and the kids LOVED him. After the magician they got to get their awards which was a cool green and black backpack. Ty had a great season and we are so proud of him!

Grandparents Day

Ty had Grandparents day at Mother's Day Out (2weeks ago now). MiMi and PaPa came in for the event and had such a great time. They got to eat a snack with him and then do some crafts. He had such a good time and we are so thankful that MiMi and PaPa got to come and be celebrated!

Ty's Last Basketball Game

Ty's last basketball game was last Tuesday night and he did so good. Everyone could tell that their whole team had really improved. They had so much fun and I'm glad he had this opportunity at such a young age!

Paige's Shower and Baby Kate Arrives

2 weekends ago, I had the opportunity to suprise one of my friends at her baby shower in Gardendale. It was so much fun to see her and her girls, Halle and Corin. Baby Kate, who we were celebrating at the shower, came suprisingly this past weekend- almost a week early! So, since we had a snow day on Sunday and didn't have church, we drove down and saw baby Kate in the hospital. I know it seems a little extreme to go see a baby 3 hours away in the hospital, but since in a little over a year we will be about 35 hours away from them, I thought it would be fun to go see her!

Ty's First Hockey Game

This past Friday night, Jeff and Ty had a great time at the Riverkings game. Jeff works out with the chaplain of the hockey team and he gave Jeff tickets and invited them to come to the biblestudy before the game. They got to meet the players and the coach and the coach even gave Ty his own left handed hockey stick!!!! During the game they sat right behind the players and the players kept talking to them through the glass. Ty had such a good time that he came home and slept with his hockey stick.

Valentine's Day

For the past few years on Valentine's Day we have dressed up for dinner, Emma and Ty have decorated the table with homemade projects and we have had a Valentine's dinner together. This year was a little different, we didn't dress up and it was us and our neighbor friends from down the street, Joseph, Liz, Anna Grace (2) and Addison Kate (1). We had such a good time. Emma and Ty decorated, Jeff grilled and Liz brought 2 great dips and chips, plus valentine cupcakes for the kids to decorate. We had such a fun time with them!!Anna Grace and Ty playing the drums!!

Beautiful Day

Well I am so sad because I did not take any pictures of our wonderful and fun day. It started off with Ty playing basketball--which was great of course! Then Jeff had a meeting at church until 12pm so the kids and I went to a park we hadn't been to before. It was so fun we decided to play for a while, go home make a picnic lunch and take our bikes back to the park to meet daddy for a picnic and bike ride! It was beautiful out and we stayed for about an hour and a half! My only regret is no pics :(
