Dad's Retirement Party

I am so proud of my dad. 36 years with State Farm. He is SUCH a hard worker, like a super super hard worker. We were so glad to get to be a part of his celebration and happy to honor him on this special occasion. He's only 59yrs old, so its going to be so fun to see how the Lord plans his next ventures:) We love you Pops!!!!

after 5 1/2 years of blogging i'm really going downhill...

I only have 3 pictures to post and it's been far too long since my last blog. I'm becoming a terrible blogger.

We are still loving the Magic House.  They have an incredible fairly new Art Room with all the art stuff you wish you had at your own house.  So fun.

We've had a lot of snow lately, and I'm always and forever enjoying our view

This little guy often joins us in the middle of the night, EVERY night, but lately we've been finding him in our bed when we come up to bed.  He's right in the middle, in heaven.

Cold Winter Nites for ZOE this weekend!! We had Senior girls at our house and the kids spent the night with mimi and papa one of the nights.  This little guy took a nap in my lap for two hours while girls game in and out from snow tubing.  He's so squishy and snuggly I just love it.

 CWN Seniors, so fun:)

 Sweet Atley with little Raylee:)!  Was fun to see Matt Lauren and Raylee this weekend too!!
