Sweet Letters

My sweet Ella can write her name!!!!  The E has many extra lines, but how CuTe is that?!?

Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Yesterday we had the most beautiful rainbow in  our neighborhood.  When I noticed it, I could see the end of it through the trees.  I told Marc to drive down to the end of our street.  There, you could see the END of the rainbow on the water.  We quickly went back home to get my camera.  I had to have a picture of that.  I have never seen the END of a rainbow.  Then as we were backing out of the driveway, we saw the other end of the rainbow was in front of our house.  The kids were so excited.  What a unique experience to see a double rainbow, and to see BOTH ends of it!!!! 

Busy, Busy

It seems like we have been so busy lately with a little of this and a little of that. Busy cooking for babies, reading books to dollies, dancing to kid bops, and wanting to be just like big brother!

Snow in Georgia!!

We actually got snow in Georgia.  We got out of school early yesterday and it started snowing about 3:00 and did not quit until midnight! Braden just loved it.  It took 3 different times of dressing Ella to get her to stay out there more than 1 minute.  I finally put a hat on her to keep the snow from hitting her in the face and she had a great time making icecubes (snowballs) as she called it! Braden made a cute little snowman and we will add the finishing touches to him this morning! 


The kids are so excited because it is still on the ground this morning.  They cannot wait to get out there in it again! 

Wordless Wednesday

Tang Soo!

Our karate kid is now an orange belt.  Braden took his promotion test this past Tuesday and did an awesome job.  He even broke a board.  We are so proud of his accomplishments in karate.  He absolutely LOVES going, and I hope he continues until he becomes a black belt. 

Another January Birthday

Today is my dad's birthday!  We all went to church this morning then out for lunch to celebrate.  I asked Braden and Ella to make him cards.  Braden's was just hilarious.  This week at school one of his teacher's turned 40, so her door was decorate in black and had the RIP sign and all.  So, Braden learned this week that at 40 you are "over the hill".  In the birthday card, he wrote, "you are 61 on January 31st which is way past 40 so you are really old now!"  He is just too smart for his own good!  He also drew a picture of a mouse with a cane!!!  (and a character, too!)


We also then went to their house to have cake and dad's favorite cake is carrot cake.  So mom made him one to which Ella asked, "Maka, will you leave the carrots out of mine please?"  We cannot get that kid to eat a vegetable to save her life!!  Anyways,


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!  We love you!!
