Disney Again!!!

This will be one of many posts from our Disney trip. Talk about detailed face painting take a look at my pirate boy and unicorn girl. The kids asked everyday to have their face painted. Finally on the last day we decided to go ahead and do it. $27 later this is how they looked. I think they would still be wearing it today if they could. I had to bribe them to wash their face. They love getting their face painted. I wish I was that talented and could do it. It took only 5 minutes for these masterpieces. Post one of many to come...

Calling All Cowboys and Cowgirls!!!

Hannah's 7 year old birthday party was at Country Adventures again this year. She truly loves animals and this was her first pick. This time we had all of her friends dress up like Cowboys and Cowgirls. Everyone looked so cute. I must admit that my Cowkids are adorable. They roasted marshmellows, rode a pony, went on a hayride, and pet several animals. Hannah came home with a large pumpkin to carve for Halloween. Alex had a blast as well and actually wore cowboy boots. This is a first for him considering he only likes crocs and tennis shoes. We had perfect weather and everyone had a blast. Until next time....

Tiny Twisters Cheerleading!!

Hannah has joined a competitve cheerleading squad named the Tiny Twisters. She is really enjoying it. They got to cheer at a pep rally at a USC game as a fundraiser for their uniforms. She says she is going to be a cheerleader for the Gamecocks like her Mommy. I love hearing that. She will be in her first competition November 6th. I can't wait to go and support the girls. She has really learned so much and has perfected a cartwheel and almost a roundoff. Go Hannah!!

Lake Carolina Here We Come!!!

2010-2011 School Year. This was the first day of school. Our school has to wear uniforms so this was what they chose to wear the first day. They were so cute. I can't believe Hannah is in first grade and Alex in pre-K. Hannah's teacher is Mrs. Johnson. She absolutely loves her. I have never seen her so excited to go to school and learn. Alex has Mrs. Boswell for his second year in a row. He loves her as well. One of his best friends is in his class, Harrison. Until next time....

Hole in One!!

Here is a picture of Alex and Hannah during their big putt putting match. Alex ended up getting a hole in one. He was so excited jumping up and down. They did really good this year. Hannah almost ended up beating me. I have got to start brushing up on my putt putting skills. Of course she had to choose a pink putter and ball, Alex's was blue. I look forward to playing with them again soon. Until next time...

Gone Crabbing!!

I had to post this picture from the beach. We fished off our back dock this year. The kids loved it. Alex ended up catching something this year. It was not this fish he is holding. He ended up catching a very large blue crab. He would not hold it because he said it would pinch him. So he decided to hold up this fish his Uncle Jon caught. He is now hooked on fishing. When we got home we had to buy him a fishing pole. We have already been fishing. He loves it. Until next time...

Litchfield 2010!!

We had another great year at Litchfield with the family. This year we did a few new things. We caught minnows in our nets, we found several shark teeth, and we also fished off the back porch. We had a really good time. The kids built sand castles and went to the pool a lot. Alex learned how to doggy paddle while at the beach. This was a huge step because he was scared of the water prior to our trip. Hannah's favorite part of the beach was riding her bike on the beach this year. Alex's favorite part of the trip was playing ball with Daddy, Papa Dude and Todd. I am sure Papa Dude and Todd are glad to finally sit down and rest. Until next time....

My little ballerina. Well Hannah chose to do ballet this year and not tap. This makes since because she loves twirling around the house. Her favorite books are Angelina Ballerina series as well. This picture was taken during the performance. She really has a softness about her when she dances. This captures this. I was so proud of her. She did a great job. I asked if she wanted to do ballet again next year and her answer was of course Mommy. Until next time....

Easter Pictures

I had to post one more Easter picture. I love this gate at the tulip church. I think it is beautiful in pictures. It reminds me of the true meaning of Easter. Also, it reminds me to be thankful for what we have. Life is great and you never know what is in store for you. Live each day to the fullest. Until next time.....

Tulip Time

Every Easter I take Hannah and Alex to this church on Forest Drive. They have beautiful tulips. The kids love it. Of course they have to bring a few home each year. This is the first year their picture was easier to take. I guess my little ones are getting big. We have taken Hannah's pictures here for 6 years and Alex's picture for 4. Wow!! Time flies....

My Ball Player

Alex has started T-ball. It has been a lot of fun. He loves playing. He is really good. When he hits the ball he picks up his leg and steps into it. Very cute. I am so proud of him. His team is the River Dogs. Alex is obsessed with baseball right now. He loves to watch it on tv and practice with Buzzy in the backyard. I think Hannah likes t- ball just as much. Her and her friend, Eliza go bird hunting during the game. She is actually listing off names of birds to me. She thinks they are going to catch one before the season is over. It is so cute. Until next time....

The Hat Parade

Alex participated in the annual hat parade this year. He wanted to do a baseball hat. I thought it turned out perfect. We ended up buying an Easter basket and put it on his head. Mommy even sewed bases and his name on the back. We cut out a cardboard bat and covered it with felt. He loved it. He was so proud walking dowdn the hall waving to everyone. I think it was a hit. Until next year....

Daddy Daughter Dance

This is Hannah and her Daddy's 3rd year attending the Daddy Daughter Dance at school. She looks forward to it each year. I think her favorite part is the year long practicing of their dance moves and the corsage. This year Hannah and Buzzy incorporated a twirl and a dip in their routine. It is really funny. Daddy also bought her another beautiful corsage. We put this on right before she leaves. She blushes and gives him a big hug every year. I guess we will need to start practicing more moves for next year. Until then....

Harborside LIghts!!

It has been a while since I posted a blog so I am catching up. Here is a picture of Santa with the kids. This was at Harborside Lights. It was a cold night but the kids did not seem to mind. They were very excited to see Santa. Hannah said she wanted the littlest pet shop. Alex said he wanted a race car track. The kids saw 5 different Santas this year. Good thing they did not ask too many questions. That would be hard to explain. Haha. Until next time...

Concert Time!!

Hannah's first concert. It was so much fun. Hannah went with 6 of her very good friends. I think the Mommy's had just as much fun. The kids made posters and screamed like teenagers when Hannah Montana or Miley came out. Hannah thinks she is a rock star. She continues to run around the house singing Miley's music. It is so cute. Until next time...
