Happy Birthday Corynne!.

Tonight we went to Tipico de Mexico to celebrate Corynne's 11th bday.  It is hard to believe she is going to be 11 tomorrow!  She is such a sweet, caring, loving and precious girl!

 Time for a few gifts...

 This is the American Girl she wanted!!!

 This is the American Girl I wanted!!!

 This year Corynne and her friend Anna, whose birthday is the day before Corynne's, decided to have a joint sleepover.  They invited 5 girls over to Anna's house for the night--that is right, it was at Anna's house!  I hear they had a good time!!!

These are a few of my favorite things!

February 10th

We have had a few cold days this winter.  This is Lyndsey watching morning cartoons!!!!

 I got a little creative for Corynne's bday party favors...

February 14th

Happy Valentine's Day!! 

 Lauren's 2nd grade class visited the VA Hospital and handed out valentines.

 Then it was party time.  Lauren with Mikey Peavy!

February 21st

It has been on my to do list for months --thank the neighbors for being so gracious during our destruction/construction mess.  After 4 months in the neighborhood, I can mark that one off!  The girls delivered MorningGlory Muffins to each of the houses on our street!

 Tyler sharing a little G2 with Colleen!

One of my favorites...I sent Lyndsey out to get the paper.  After a few minutes, I look out to find her trying to stuff everything back into the bag!  I guess she had an accident.  Funny thing, she handed it to me like nothing had happened.  I just said, "thank you, sweetheart!"

Colleen's Parent/Baby Dedication

Colleen is almost 11 months old.  Her first year is almost up and it has gone by TOO fast.  She is a beautiful, sweet baby.

 

Waiting our turn...

It's our turn and we are down one child.  (Corynne almost passed out while we were waiting our turn so she had to sit down on the front row!  She had some kind of 24 hr bug?!? )  Colleen decided to go to Pastor Alan right as he was about to pray!  She wanted to REALLY be prayed over!  

 We had a few families over after church to celebrate with us.

I told them this was her Montgomery 1st Birthday party also because there was no way I would be able to pull off a bday party in less than 4 weeks!!!  The kids....

 While I was cutting the cake, my little helpers served Colleen a piece!  This was not really my plan, but Colleen seemed to enjoy it.  She is #5 and just about anything goes at this point!  Yes, she had cake in her hair and IN HER EARS!  It took a couple of baths to clean her up!!!

Today was a wonderful day.  We love you, Colleen.  Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with this sweet miracle!

Date Night at CFA

Daddy took the girls to the Chick-fil-A Father/Daughter Valentine Date Night.

It was a fun night with plenty of special visitors!

They also had crafts to make, and each of the girls found a friend to have fun with!

Everyone got a special treat to end the evening!

 

SuperBowl Fun 2011

It has become a tradition at our house to get dress up in old football jerseys (the boys have collected a few), eat "football food" (aka JUNK), and watch the Super Bowl (well, the girls usually split after dinner)!

 Now, here is the cutest player in our 2011 lineup!!!!

January Events....

January 5th

I had to make a fast run into Wal-Mart today.  Colleen was fussy in her carrier car seat, so I decided to just let her try sitting in the buggy.  She loved it!!! She just kept looking around at everything and babbling instead of her normal crying.  Shopping might become more enjoyable!  There is definitely more room for groceries this way!

Big beautiful smiles...

Tyler's art work is being displayed this quarter at the Zoe's on Zelda Rd.  He did a GREAT job.  I bought his piece so that I could keep it.

January 13th

Eastwood PTO Night.  The girls school had PTO night in January this year.  It was a nice change since it used to be in mid November.  

January 15th

Tyler was so excited to wake up to our 1st official TP!  He was not so excited after he had to clean it up, and he vowed revenge on his neighborhood TPS friend!

January 22nd

We had a girls weekend since Ty and Dad were at a tennis tourney.  Guess what that meant...manicures, pedicures, and facials!!!  My girls are spoiled!!!

January 29th

JM took the girls to a Father/Daughter Dance at Wynlakes.  They got all dressed up in their "ball" dresses.  As Lyndsey says it, "I am goin to wher my faufer-dau-er baull shoes!"

 Wow!  Those are beautiful girls!

 Actually, Dad is just the ticket to the dance!  The girls all have more fun grooving on their own!  As Lauren puts it, "Dad just doesn't know how to dance like the girls."

 Dad did get at least one dance with each girl (per Mom's request).  Have you ever heard Stephen Curtis Chapman's song Cinderella?  Oh, I am crying already.  I can Only Imagine the emotion when one of these sweet little girls gets married!

Happy New Year!
