Christmas Day

Well, we spent Christmas Eve and Day at Judd and Stephanie's house in South Carolina. Dad and Kaelyn have come out to spend the week with us which is great.

Polly the Dog!!!!

Well, the other day we went to the soccer fields to play soccer, just Anna, Cole, and Dad and we saw a dog that had obviously been left there and had been abused. We had a hard time leaving her there and Anna and Cole just loved her. We brought her home to rescue and she has since been in Anna and Cole's prayers everyday. Clean bill of health from the doctor. Overall she is a very nice dog.

Visit to Santa Clause

When asked, Cole said he wanted a new train and football.
When asked, Anna said she wanted a new radio.

Well we took some time and spend a wonder week in Park City and enjoyed the beautiful winter that it offered. There was much to do. Anna and Cole stayed with Grandma Jane for the first two nights while Lori and Corbin got a much needed rest and relaxation. We then got the kids back and did alot of good stuff. We went tubbing at Gorgaza Park for three strait days, Went to the Olympic Park, went on a very cold but beautiful horse pulled sleigh ride, made ginger bread houses with Grandma Esplin, played in the snow with the Wong Kids (Macare and Maya), and went on the Polar Express (Heber Creeper) with Grandma Jane. We had a great time and enjoyed every minute of the trip!

Leaves in Georgia

Well the leaves in Georgia do not fall too fast or turn the prettiest shades of color, but that does not matter to the kids who loved wrecking the neighbors hard leaf pile work!

Cole's Birthday (3)

Cole had a big birthday party and he has now promised that he is three that he will no longer suck his thumb because he is a "big boy!" I think if you looked at the parties from afar, one would wonder if Anna's and Cole's were the same planning event!

Happy Birthday Anna (5)

Anna had her 5th birthday today and it was fun. We had a great birhtday party with lots of friends over for the "Lady Bug Party." We had games, pizza, cake, and everyone got live lady bugs to take home and let out. Anna is sure growing up to be a very sweet girl who seems to be responsible.....let's just hope we can keep her that way when the boys start to come around!!!!

Thanksgiving at Judd's on Lady's Island, SC

Cute kids!!!! We went to Judd and Steph's for Thanksgiving and had a good time. Too much food!!!!! Lori made the best pies and I will pay for that!!!! I think she does it on purpose.

Anna put this card under my pillow!

It is the best when your child tells you they love you!

Cole

Here is one picture from Cole at School. To me he seems so grown up in this picture.

Library Fair in Savannah

We took the day and went to Savannah at Forseyth Park which is very beautiful. Cole fell asleep about 5 minutes from parking so we let him sleep (we me as we both took a peaceful nap) and Anna and Lori went out and ventured with the public. It was a fun time. Cole and I finally woke up and hit the park where Cole as always, mingled with the bigger kids and Anna did the monkey bars endlessly.
