Catching up a little...

Trinity pleaded for months before her birthday to go to Chuck E Cheese for her special day. She had never been to CEC, but had seen many commercials on tv. She constantly reminded me that, "It's where a kid can be a kid", and so we went.

She was super excited and enjoyed playing and eating pizza. We opened presents and did cake at home.

I still can't believe she's five years old!

Layover silliness!

Today has been a blast!!! Anna's team did awesome! They have one more performance tomorrow, before awards! We don't have to report to the competition until the afternoon, so we will be sleeping in!!! I haven't slept past 6 am in years! I'm so excited!

Anna loves the weather and the palm trees. She says she wants to live here. ;)

A few pictures from today...

Guess where we are?

Anna and I are sitting at an airport in Phoenix, AZ. We are headed to Palm Springs for a long weekend, just by ourselves. Anna has Nationals for cheerleading, and I'm so glad we have this time to spend together. :) it's fun to see her so excited and giggely!

Wish her luck! :)

What? January is almost gone?!!

I am so behind on this blog! My memory is already getting foggy of all the details.

 

Here is a quick recap of Christmas...iphone picture style.

 

We went here!

 

 

We stayed in a hotel, at a half way mark.

Mason loved the elevator.

 

We all got cozy to watch a movie.

 

We made it to Nana's, and I read Mason The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve.

 

Trin decorated Nana's Christmas tree.

 

We opened Christmas Eve pajamas.

 

 

Nana snuggled with the girls.

 

I read them The Night Before Christmas.

Christmas morning before opening presents.

 

Mason's gift from Santa.

 

 

Anna was so excited to get a sleeping mask.  She's been asking for one forever!

 

Bub getting his first bottle of cologne. ;) 

 Neen treasures this puppy purse she's had her eye on for two years.

 

The next morning, playing the ipod while everyone else sleeps.

 

We met little Miss Molly.  She is a dream baby, and so extremely cute!!

I think Anna fed her everytime she could!

 

Miles and Mason sitting still for a minute...

 

Me, loving on sweet Miles.

 

Also, getting my hands on sweet Molly! I had to fight for her.  Anna refers to Molly as "hers".

 

See, look at Anna's face!

 

Bub fought for his turn to love on Molly too.

 

A picture with all of the girls in the family.

 

I got to spend a little bit of time with Christopher, my brother's baby.  Isn't he adorable?

 

We took a picture of Nana and her grandbabies.

 

Mason loved his new dina thor he got from Miles.

 

I got my hair done...Hooray! It had been a year!

 

I love this picture of these two beauties!

 

Our family Christmas picture, that was taken a few days late.  Oops.

 

The girls got new blankets from Aunt Glenda.

Anna LOVES owls, and of course, firetrucks all the way for Neen.

 

We got to spend some time with Uncle Taylor, and try In & Out Burger.

 

We headed back home, and I took this cool picture out of the hotel window.



 

The girls LOVE hotels!

 

Isn't this hilarious?

 

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Our's was full of family and love!!

He is going to give me a ...

HEART ATTACK!

 

While the girls and I do school at the kitchen table, Mason finds ways to make my heart stop.
