So many random, yet very special memories are below. I will try to caption each the best I can! But I don't want to leave any of these out of our GREAT year!!
Our DEAR, SWEET, DEDICATED, DEVOTED, DEPENDABLE, LOYAL PAPA agreed to put together the playset the kids got for Christmas. Against Jonathan's better judgement, he didn't hire a company to install it but rather called on the most industrious, handy-man he knows --- his DAD! Well, when I say this was a project, it was a PROJECT... with THOUSANDS of pieces. Before he could even start putting them together, he had to categorize the pieces in the order of installment. WOWZERS. I clearly have never been involved in such because I was always in awe of this task as it progressed. Thank goodness for Papa and yes, he did FINISH it. And we played on it today.:) We are thankful for him!
And... we here we are, just a SWINGIN!!
Another date with his sweet, sweet, SWEET girl!! I find it so special, beyond special, that Jonathan takes his only girl on dates. He tries to monthly. Her choice spot is Half Shell. And she will and does eat a dozen charbroiled and Orleans oysters plus fried shrimp and broccoli. Daddy gets none of her dozen oysters! I hope they continue these special dates as she gets older, and I know they will!
THIS BOY! A mess and a half. He is truly our "wild" child, and we couldn't love him more. When I say I could eat him up, I could!
Being silly with big brother!
A trip to visit Biloxi and see our sweet uncles and grandparents. Uncle Miles was in town from LA, CA.
A crew! Uncle Miles, Poppy, Uncle Jules, and us!
Hanging out at home with our sweet neighbors, the Wests!
Well, this is an unfortunate picture. This was taken at 3 am during a tornado warning, and we hunkered under our stairs for an hour. Luckily, the kids were so in zombie mode tired that they didn't put up much of a fight to rest. Jonathan always seems to be out of town for these warnings, which is NOT fun for me! In this instance, Les had stayed the night with Mamma and Papa thank goodness!
Church fun!! Mr. Scott is always so fun!!
Les was obviously having a blast here watching his sister and his "love" Vera!!
Silly boys under the table at church!
School days! Looks like Joseph was doing a little jig.;) We ABSOLUTELY love and can't get enough of Joseph's sweet teacher, Lily. She is AH-mazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cuties! Smart cuties!!
Look at this boy on the playground! He's such a DOLL!
Always mackin' on the ladies!
Joseph continuing to mack! He is something else. His teachers tell me he is either wrestling the boys or rubbing girls' backs. Should I already be worried?
Birthday girl gets an Elena outfit and matching one for her doll, Lea!!
We had our first "break" scare. Les flew off the playset but luckily this was just a sprain. We are a no broken bone house for the meantime! Fingers crossed.
Briggs, Les & Cole
My stud in an old pic!! I love him!!
Birthday party fun!!
