Bennett and his buddy Luke. They are so handsome!

 

Hoping everyone has a blessed Easter

Fat Lips & Fancy Dresses

February started with a BANG literally! Bennett was playing across the street like he does everyday and trip on the trampoline and busted his lip. It was swollen for a couple of day, then went down for a day and then it looked like this! And the next day it was all better! Craziness!

Langley had her first dentist appointment

and it went great!

Parker was asked to be in the Children's Court for the Junior Auxiliary's Annual Cotton Ball. So the day before we went to the salon for manicures. Of course whe picked off all the pretty polish before the big night but it was fun. 

Mom and dad all dressed up and headed off to the Cotton Ball.



We look good if I do say so myself :o)

Parker and her classmate and friend Campbell.

The Royal Court dance.

Parker and her beautiful hand made lace dress. I hope that she/Langley will choose to wear it again.

The next day was a beautiful day and the girls took advantage of it and got some vitamin D.

and so did their dog purses....

Parker's creations

 Most children bring party favors home from birthday parties...but not Parker. She gathers up all the ribbons and tissue paper

and makes beautiful flowers!

Langley sings

As promised.....Langley's singing debut!

January randomness

Girls Night In -- while Clif and Bennett were off at the hunting camp we girls did our hair and nails 

 Bennett and Langley are very proud of their tower

 Many cold days have kept us inside this winter so the art room (aka the dining room) has been put to good use by all the children. Let us know if you have any requests!

 Parker has once again added another career choice to her growing list. She attended a pizza cooking party at the Viking Cooking School and had a wonderful time and has decided that she would like to be a chef as well. Below she is making cream cheese icing for the cookie pizza.

Merry Christmas

I know that this is posted very late but I just wanted to make sure that we had a record of Jesus' Birthday Cake. We hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and was able to celebrate with family and friends. 

 

New Year's Eve

We had so much fun traveling to see family before Christmas we thought we would just continue on down to the Gulf Coast. Just so we wouldn't show up during nap time we took a side trip to the Bass Pro Shop in Pearl. the kids loved it and we killed a little bit of time while breaking the trip up.

Langley really took to a guitar that connected to a microphone while in Gulfport. She kept singing on it (video to follow) and this picture is the best because she is on a dinosaur in the garage/play room without a shirt!?

Penny made herself right at home on Lauren's expensive drapes :)

The weather was a bit chilly but we were able to head over to base and play at the fantastic playground.

Then on to planning the new year's eve celebration with the purchase of fireworks. I have no idea why Bennett didn't want me to take his picture but you can tell from this photo.

Then we were on to mussel fishing with a stick and guess who led the pack....can't see her can you?

Anxiously awaiting the fireworks

There is the fisherwoman!

KABOOM! and these were bought in a tent off the highway! Way to go Clif & Crosby!

And no New Year's Eve is complete without some sparklers! 

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration in Gulfport and look forward to many more if they will have us back!
