lunch with the Tipton's

After church today our Sunday School class went to have lunch with the Tipton's. They are leaving this week to move to New Orleans to start Hope Church. We are going to miss them all. Please pray for them as they move and start the church there. Hopefully we can visit them this summer and maybe they will come back to Nashville to visit once in a while. Love you guys and will be praying for you daily.

my precious kids

I took the kids to get their pictures made this morning. I have not had their picture made together since Hunter was 1 month old. They both did great. These are just a few of my favorite. I can't get the others turned the right way. I will try again after while.

playing in the snow

Hannah has been asking since she heard the weatherman say it was going to snow if she could make a snow angel and a snowman. I told her she should pray and ask Jesus to send her lots of snow. He did not send lots, but enough for her to make a snow angel. She also wrote her name in the snow and just enjoyed running and dancing in the snow. Hopefully we will have more snow before the winter is over.

another SNOW DAY!!!

I love to watch him sleep. He has learned how to push the button to turn on his mobile and will play with it until he goes to sleep.
Hannah wanted all of her babies to watch a movie with her. Two of them are on the other couch asleep. Patrick wanted to be held to go to sleep she said. You know like Hunter does sometimes. She misses nothing.
Cooper and Hannah enjoying a little snack and watching it snow.
Wild man can GI Joe crawl and is really fast. I was afraid he never would and now I will never be able to sit, even for a minute. He is a busy boy!!

We did not leave the house all day. We were glad to have Kylie come play this morning and Cooper come this afternoon. I did not get a picture of Kylie and Hannah this morning, but got one of Hannah and Cooper eating their snack after lunch.

SNOW DAY!!!

Hannah love the snow this year and Hunter wanted no part of it.
She loves some jewelry. She wanted to wear it to the doctor's office. I finally talked her into leaving it at home.


I am so excited that I had a snow day today. I know I just went back to school, but it is still fun to be out for snow. It did not really start snowing until about 10am and them snowed off and on all day. We had fun playing and only had to go out to take Hunter to the doctor. I am glad they already decided that we have no school tomorrow, I love a 4 day weekend.

Hunter's 9 month check up

Hunter had a good check up for the most part. The doctor was pleased with his development and how social and happy he is. She was not pleased with how is ears looked and that he had only gained a pound in 3 months. He weighed 19.8 pounds and was 29 inches long. She said to feed him whatever we wanted, just not peanuts/peanut butter, milk, or eggs. She said hopefully he will start taking his bottles good again and gain a little more weight by his one year check up. She said both of his ears were infected and that she could still hear a few wheezes. We will go back in two weeks to have his ears recheck. She said we are one ear infection way from tubes. Hannah went with me, since I kept her home from our snow day and she was a very good girl.

Mom, help my leg is stuck

That is what I heard Hannah yelling from her room. I went to check on her and found that she had somehow gotten both legs in one leg of her pajamas. She was crying and I was laughing so hard I was crying. I carried her in the kitchen so Derrick could see her. He told her she looked like a mermaid, which she loved. She asked if she could put on different pajamas before going back to bed.

giving blood

I gave blood for the first time tonight. When Kyle was in the hospital he was give almost 50 pints of blood/blood product. I had never given before because I did not weigh enough. I don't have that as an excuse anymore, so when they asked in Sunday School if anyone would like to give blood I signed up. I was a little nervous, but it was not bad at all. I did not know all that went into giving blood. You have to answer a million questions, have your temperature checked, blood pressure and pulse check and have your finger pricked all before they tell you if you can really give any blood. I passed all the "test" so I was able to give. I am glad I gave and will donate again.

Hunter is 9 months old

He did not want to sit still for long.
Can you see this 3 little teeth. His top gum is swollen, but no top teeth yet.
Hunter is still just as happy as ever. Even when he is sick he is still happy. I took him to the doctor this morning because he is still coughing so bad. She said that it is just the after effects of the bronchiolitis. She said his ear were a little pink but she would not call them infected so she did not give us any medicine. We are just praying he stops coughing soon. He goes Thursday for his 9 month check up.

Happy New Year

WOW!! I am excited to start a new year. I like new beginnings and I am hopeful for a great year. We had a lazy day at home. I did go to the grocery store, so now we can eat for at least a week. We just played at home and kept unpacking. I hope that all of you had a Happy New Year and that 2010 is great for you.
