Been TOO Long!!

I know it has been such a long time since our last post, we have been BUSY BUSY with the Holidays and OH my camera broke so I have been having withdrawals!!! Stephen and I went to my company's Christmas Party at the Opera of Memphis this year and had a BLAST!!! Here are a few pics from the night, will post more once I figure out how to use my mother-in-laws camera!! I just had to put my hand on Dajana's belly, Mason is in there!!!

Happy Birthday Gavin Lee

We had Gavin's birthday at Chuck E Cheese this year.....do I need to say how much fun he had???? Naw!!

Summer Fun

Summer has been great this year, we can hardly keep the kids in the house. Gavin is getting ready to start school this fall and Sydnie will be in the 6th grade, gosh how time has flown by!! She is so excited about being in the BIG Middle School with the big kids. Caden is turning one in two weeks, Jeanie and I are making his cake and I have faith in her that it will be amazing!! I will post pics as soon as we finish.......I say we but I will be watching. :)

Finally warm outside!

It has been a while since our last post, we are getting so excited about leaving for vacation on the 28th, I think we all need it more than we know! I just wanted to post a view random pictures of the kiddos.

Pottery with the kids

I have found a new hobby.....Sydnie and I try to go to the local pottery store once a month for our girl time. We really enjoy it and are getting pretty good also. Last month I went on a field trip with Syd and afterwards we took Gavin for his first pottery experience. He picked out a motorcycle and let me just say that it is one of a kind......we all had a great time!

Happy 11th Birthday Sydnie Marie

Wow!! It has been eleven years since the birth of my baby girl Sydnie. I have learned so much about being a mother throughout the years. As most of you know I became pregnant with my daughter when I was 17 years old and gave birth when I was 18. There was nothing easy about the situation but with great support from my family and friends I was able to make it one day at a time. I have learned so much about myself since I had her, and would not trade on minute of the struggle. Without her I would not be the person I am today and this just confirms the phrase "Everything happens for a reason" She is my best friend and I see a little more of myself in her each day. I love you SYDNIE MARIE!!
