Spring Break 2019

The one good thing about Pop living in a new town is we get to visit. During spring break we hopped on a jet plane and set across the US to visit Pop and see the sites of his new City. We ate lots of yummy seafood and saw lots of fun new things. It was a great trip.

St. Patrick Day 2019

The other Holiday we do really well is St. Patrick's Day. This year daddy really "kicked" it up a notch. He and Mr. Andy embraced drafty conditions and broke out the kilts. They had more fun than anyone else, and even made the local news. 🙈

We had a great time at Cheekwood celebrating St. Patrick's Day with the Burgbacher and Swindle families. 


 

 

We also took time out to celebrate Granny Staton's 87th Birthday. She is a very special lady, and deserves to be toasted every day of the year. Happy Birthday Granny!!!

2019 off to a bang!

New year, new excitement. 

First, Basketball season is back!  Loralei has a new team this year that is co-ed. She and past team mate Mille Anne are back together and ready to dominate this season.

 

Second, we have entered the orthodontic phase of life. Here's to head gear and palate expanders. :(


We got some snow. It wasn't much, but it was fun to look at and play with. Else enjoyed it. 

 

Lastly, Pa Jim is 78!!  This is a big milestone so we wanted to celebrate. We went back to Opryland hotel for a fun weekend with Aunt Rachel and her family, Pa Jim and Nana.  Sadly, some were hit with a tummy bug mid-trip, but we tried to make the best of it. Happy Birthday PA JIM!

Glass elevator fun!

Cora is 4!!!

Cora is 4! Our littlest "Luna-Corn" is 4!  When did she turn 3? She was VERY set on a unicorn party theme this year. She helped to pick out her cake, outfit, and even the bouncy houses.  Cora had a WONDERFUL time celebrating with all her friend and family. :)

Happy 4th Birthday to the girl who keeps our world exciting.  Cora, you never miss an opportunity for adventure. You keep us on our toes, and everyone around you loves you.  You have the best laugh, and are so so ticklish. Keep smiling and exploring baby girl. Mommy and Daddy love you so much.
