I did not get any blogging done this year. My camera was messed up for a big part of the year so I don't have a ton of pictures . Here are a few pictures from Feb -November 2014

Happy Birthday Cade and Chance

The boys wanted a MineCraft birthday party! Can't believe they are already 8 and 10 years old!! They enjoyed playing coneball with lots of their friends. We are so thankful for the many wonderful friends they have! 

Merry Christmas!

We had another wonderful Christmas! Spent Christmas Eve with Rah Rah. The boys got new pajamas, big stuffed animals, and some other great things including clothes and games. They were all 3 excited about wearing their new pj,s to bed. 

 When we got home from Rah Rah's house the boys opened their stockings like we always do. They put out the reindeer food, hung the key for Santa (since we don't have a chimney) and put out cookies and milk. They are ready for Santa!! 

 Chad read them some Christmas books before heading to bed. 

Christmas morning was full of excitement. They boys got a new pingpong table and lots of other goodies!! We were truly blessed with a wonderful Christmas! We enjoyed having time off from school to enjoy being with each other. Love this time of year. 

Family Portraits

We had family picture taken for the first time in about 6 years!! Jud Davis took them for us. Here are a few of our favorites! 

Christmas with Cody and Lauren

We got to spend a little time with Coady, Lauren and the girls. We had lots going so we didn't get to spend as much time as we would have liked with them. Any time is better than no time! The girls are getting so big and doing more and more every time we see them.

Christmas with Papa and Clara Ruth

Enjoyed a few hours at the farm celebrating Christmas with my side of the family. The boys sure got some nice things!! We ate great food, played games, and sang Christmas songs. 

Basketball Season

Chad coached both Cade and Chance's basketball teams this season. They loved having their daddy as the coach. Chad loves coaching the boys and does a great job. We had Cade's team over at the beginning of the season to watch Hoosiers. Most of the boys had never seen it before. They loved it!! 

Cade played for the Miami Heat!

Chance played for the Duke Blue Devils!
