rain

 it rarely rains around here, but when it does...

 please note that i am inside my warm house, looking out the window:)

 there was also plenty of tv watching and eating!  thank the good lord we don't see too much rain in these parts! 

just another weekend

donuts and the beach!  

nothing like a warm bath to help ease the pain of the "cold" ocean.

a little community serve action for this crew.  they loved the painting!  can you tell?

pretty sure the cheetos were also a highlight...eek.

the rest of the day was spent celebrating a dear friend...mark brewer.  the guy has always been great at getting people together and having fun.  

too bad this friend sent me this picture of my sweet baby.   oh brewer. 

birthdays, cakes and family

 my mom and aunt are both born on february 16th, two years apart.  we started the celebration week off with a little cake. 

 

 and a little more cake...

aunt letha and uncle scott were in town for the festivities!

 and more cake!

quail gardens

 

 dinner at jakes for the final celebration.

valentine's

 valentine's day was filled with some of our favorite things...

 and the day after valentines was even more of the same. 

 bug hunting!

noah's first birthday

we celebrated our last baby's first birthday with family and a friend on february 11th. 

 noah and charlotte.  it's good to have a friend

 noah has it good with three proud older brothers.  this is also the last picture we have of asher before he fell and chipped his front tooth.  oh the memories;)

 rookie mom move!  fortunately isaac grabbed his hand before he touched the flame.

 first taste of sugar.  he started solids two days prior so this was all new territory. 

 the boy loves water.

 charlotte made noah his first painted canvas.
