52 Week Challenge 18/52

52 Weeks is a year long challenge for YOU to be in a picture once a week for 52 weeks. We are always the ones behind the camera, this is YOUR chance to get out in front and be in the pictures with your family. I love this challenge because I will have, at least, 52 pictures of me with my kids, all from one year!

I truly am blessed. My children are healthy and happy and I love my husband! I have everything I want for Christmas, truly.

Ashley and Robbie have been dating for 6 years. Ash is 23 (24 in May) and Rob is 24 (25 in Jan.). They are very cute and sweet together. Who knows? But, we love her very much.

Merry Christmas!!!

Slow Down...

Slow down and enjoy the season. We stay pretty busy during the holidays, as do many of us. I want to enjoy the people, not the things. These are some of the people we have been enjoying!

These are my daughter's Christmas socks and I tried to wear them. oops! Oh well, my 2nd graders loved them!

Brady's Holiday Dance Show

Brady has been doing dance for 5 years now. It is so much fun to watch! The Holiday show is much more casual than recitals or competitions, therefore lots more fun all around! Watch out "So You Think You Can Dance!"
