4 yr & 18 mo. Checkups

 

 

Both kids had checkups on Monday, they did great considering they both had to have their throats swabbed (No strep this time).

Katie is 45 1/2" tall & 45lb.  she is off the charts for height & weight.  She had to have her vision & hearing test & did great with both considering she HATES getting her ears checked!  The finger prick was another story ;)

Will is 34" tall & weighs 25lb. he 90th percentile for height & 20th for weight.  Tall & skinny!!

He loves his Sissy!!

 

 

 

 

This was Will stealing Katie's seat during her dance class last week.  He even stole her drink!  Afterwards we made a trip to Chick-fil-A with our friends & had ice cream.  They are so good at sharing (yeah right)!

First Visit to Church!

 

I know it is terrible that my daugther is 4 & has never been to church!  Hopefully we will find one soon that we will become members of & go to regularly!  This past Sunday we attended Mountainview Baptist Church in Chelsea.  I hear a very powerful testimony by Jamie Cagle, she is an amazing woman & I felt very blessed to be able to hear her testimony.  We will attend Mountainview again soon.  Look at these too cuties, we never get dressed up so I had to get a picture.

Fun Times

 

Although we haven't had too many cold days lately a few weeks ago we were stuck inside all weekend to play.  It was cold & rainy.  The kids had soooo much fun riding in the basement, of course they kept running into things but a lot of laughs this day.  So glad we get to make memories in our new home!

Valentine's Goodies!

 

Harper Grace Hale

On February 2, 2012, my sister welcomed her first baby into this world. Harper Grace Hale weighed 9lb. 4oz. & was 22 1/2" long!! That's amazing! I am so proud of her she did great having her first baby. I am even more excited that she made me an Aunt for the first time! Katie & Will already love her so much & they were even fighting over holding her the other day. Congratulations Rebecca & Tyler, she is beautiful!!

 

 

 

 

 

Our First Cruise!!

 

 

 

 

I don't know where to begin...we had such a wonderful time! We started our trip driving to Jacksonville, FL. Saturday morning. We had a flight but it wasn't suppose to land until 1:30 & it was pushing it too close & we were scared we may miss the boat! I was pretty nervous going into the whole process of getting on this massive ship & the fear of having motion sickness. I did pretty well though & never got sick, we did however feel the boat move quite a bit about the 3rd & 4th night. I couldn't belive how organized everything was & how all of the staff catered to you. It was nice being a little spoiled & having someone ask you if you needed anything everytime we turned around. We went on the cruise with some good friends of ours & we had the best time with them! The first night was by far the best but I will leave out the details ;). We took a 5 day cruise & the first day was at sea, docked in Nassau, then to Half Moon Cay, & another day at sea. I felt like we had been on there a week by the 2nd day but it was nice! I haven't been so relaxed in so long, it was by far the most relaxing vacation I had ever been on! I will let all of the pictures speak for themselves, the water was more beautiful than I could have imagined. I can't wait to do another cruise, we already started looking for next year!

I have to say a very special THANK YOU to Mimi, Papa, Gramps & Becca for keeping our "Sick" kids while we were gone. I hated leaving my little girl while she was sick & then Will ended up with an ear infection while we were gone. The day we got back Will had gotten even more sick with an allergic reaction to his meds & I had to take them to the Dr. & for a chest xray (NO FUN). After all of that Mimi & Papa ended up with a nasty cold & are just now getting over it! Now we are back to snotty noses at our house :( I am so ready for spring!!!
