Bathing Beauties!!!
As much as bathtime almost drives me to an early grave somedays the laughs are plenty!! They are enjoying playing together more and more every day and that is a true blessing. I can't believe the rate at which they are growing up! Kate is making short sentences now, mostly "I don't want it" and "I want yogurt", but the progress is precious. Sam is soon to be three and Kate is soon to be two!! They are for sure sunshine in our lives!!
Itching for Springtime Fun...We have already begun!
Don't Ask!!
We have had some gorgeous weather lately, along with some torrential downpours, but we have been making the most of the sunshine. We thank the Lord for whatever he brings us each day, because He knows we need the rain, but we sure do LOVE the sunshine! Here are some random pictures of our outdoor fun over the last few weeks.

Visit With My Pal Sal
Oh what a gift childhood friends are!! Over the Christmas Holidays I got to visit with my best friend Sally. She and I have been friends for nearly our entire lives. It all started back in first grade, in I believe Mrs. Woods class, but that doesn't matter. She is one of the best friends a girl could ever ask for. She is one of those friends you could be separated from for years and when you see each other again you just pick right up like you haven't missed a beat. Unfortunately, Sally has decided that living out West is where her heart is, so we rarely get to see each other, but when we do, the memories come flooding back. She is currently in Physicians Assistant School in Portland, OR. She will be finished in August and I was hoping I might be able to convince her into moving back this way, but I think I might as well hang that up. She is quite the adventuresome type. She climbs mountains, repels, hikes, camps, snow and water skis, swims, bikes, yoga's and anything else you can think of. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished in her life and little envious of her "free spirit" or traveling heart. She knows I miss her terribly and wish we could live closer together, but for now we will have to live for the next visit and pick right up where we left off.

Pumpkin Carving Party
We were so thrilled this year to get invited to our neighborhood's annual pumpkin carving party at the Hick's home. It was so much fun for everyone, big kids (parents) and the little ones. Each family had the opportunity to bring up to 2 pumpkins and carve them to enter into the contest. We only entered one, but Rob did a stellar job. There were some very imaginative and creative designs. I was quite impressed with the handiwork of all the dads. Tera had awesome chili for the adults and the kids had quite the spread to choose from. Sam and Kate devoured a cupcake, a brownie and a juice box all on their own. Needless to say, the sugar was flowing!! At the end of the night we all cast our ballot to pick the best pumpkin along with some other categories to see who would win the trophies. That's right, they even had trophies. The best pumpkin went to the Thomas family who incorporated dry ice into their final pumpkin and it was very original and funny!! We didn't win anything this year, but next year we will have to do some more planning and strategizing!! We had a great time and thank the Hicks for including us in the party!!
