Sam's 8th Birthday Party - GAME ON!























Oh what fun Sam had on his birthday day. He wanted a video game - game truck party. The game truck was amazing. It held 28 kids at one time. All the kids seemed to get plenty of playing time. 
Sam invited family friends, his soccer team, and school friends. He had such a good turn out for his day. 

One first that night is Coulter Mattox stayed over. This was our first spend the night guest besides the neighborhood kids. It went so well!! Perfect actually. We met up with Coulter's family at church the next day. Then my parents and us went to Tabella for lunch. Tabella is becoming our go to place - I think it is the 3rd time we have gone there with them. 

All in all Sam had another great party. He enjoyed his friends so much. Another first is that he handled the party so well. He waited to open gifts. The day of - he was relaxed. He did not get himself so overwhelmed that he was tired by the time the party started. Sam is growing up every day in big ways. 

First Post of 2020






It is 2020!!! I am in disbelief. But it here and we are going to have fun. 

The first two pictures of the boys waiting for a PTO meeting. I had to be there and they came with me. 

The other pictures are of our family going to a Pelicans vs Celtics game. Andrew likes all thing Boston so when the Celtics were in NOLA we made a trip down. We had great tickets and could see Zion Williams play. Zion was the #1 draft pick for 2020 so it was very exciting for the boys.

New Year's Eve



New Year's Even was fun. We went to the Drakes again this year. The boys stayed up past midnight - and loved every minute of it. It was a colder night that last year. 
The next day we had a very relaxing one.

Andrew goes hunting

After Christmas - I think on 12/26/2019 - Owen and Andrew went to Carlisle with the Clarkes. Andrew likes to hunt and Goehagen is great about opening his land to Andrew. But the bucks weren't cooperating so Andrew did not shoot anything.

Owen said Andrew read his Harry Potter book when they weren't hunting. They stayed up late and woke earlier - which got to Andrew in the afternoon.

Christmas Morning




 The first few pictures are from Christmas Eve. The boys made brownies this year for Santa and left them out near our front door. We also had carrots for the reindeer. Our neighbors Susan Robinson and her girls made reindeer food to attract the reindeer to our house.





Christmas morning started around 6 am. That is the time the boys have to wait before he get up to see if Santa came. Ralphie got his Christmas bone and some canned dog food. He has discovered canned dog food and loves it more than a dog can love anything.



Sam has become a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He wanted clothes to wear to support his new team. He started liking them because on Madden he always wins when he picks the bucs.


Andrew is playing with legos he received. All Happy Potter ones. 




Sam's big gift was this ridiculously huge hot wheels garage. He LOVES it.


Ralphie still enjoying his bone. He will keep this bone for a year until I throw it out and get him a new one Christmas next year. 


Our Christmas card we sent out this year.
