April 2016

It has taken me a long time to get my post of April up because I couldn't get my laptop to work! I need some lessons on how to use it! I lost some pictures because I was signed on wrong for over a year on it!  Crazy, huh? I am just now able to load things up by using Nana's internet server (Thanks, Nana!)  Something is wrong with our internet and our home computer doesn't work well...it's really time to invest in a new one.  Until we can do that... the laptop is my only hope!

So, here's a look at our month below in pictures!  

Boy do I wish we could slow down time as I feel like I can't ever keep up with things.  

Luncheon at TLC

First Pool Day at the Bennett Pool!

March 2016

March has already come and gone ~ time always flies when you're having fun, right?  March was Emily's Birthday Month and St. Patrick's Day...Easter also came early this year too!  We didn't do anything for St. Patrick's Day.  We watched the parade on TV and Emily spent the night with her cousin Addison (Sadly, I don't have any photos).  Emily had an awesome Painting Birthday Party!  Hailey went on her first Easter Egg Hunt.  We enjoyed Easter Service at TLC.  Van got his first all A's in middle school (Way to Go!), but sadly Van doesn't like me to take his picture much at all. I am posting this for the first time on a laptop as our home computer is just about dead.  Thankful I have a laptop and am slowly learning how to use it.  Well, Trey and I don't have anything new happening for us, so I guess that's a good thing! 

Here's a look at our month in pictures!

Hailey and I rocked the vote (ha, do they still say that?)

Do you see Meema & Nana?  They got into the painting too!

 Emily had so much Fun!  Perfect Party!

Hailey's First Easter Egg Hunt!  She loved it!!

 There's not a lot in their Easter Baskets, but all 3 also got new bathing suits for Summer!!

Van is such a good Big Brother to both of his sisters!  We ate a yummy lunch with Meema and went shopping downtown because everyone knows Moma can't park downtown!  Meema paralleled parked like a champ!  I should also say we got our exercise for sure that day because we walked up and down the streets shopping!  Van got a cool new pair of Nike shoes and I got a pretty shirt at Anthropologie (love that store).  We were going to get Ice Cream at Leopold's Ice Cream (which is the best), but the line was so long it was unreal.  So, we went to Cold Stone Creamery!

New Things this Month

The stone in my earring fell out and the Kate Spade store downtown let me have a replacement pair!  It's so nice to see some places still have great customer service!  My Mom gave me some perfume...I've been saying I might be FAT, but at least I smell good.  I'm not having much luck trying to lose weight...tacos, coke, cheeseburgers, and those things just keep getting in my way!

I'm always looking for good deals!  

This month I found a few Tory Burch shoes for over 70% off!  

Yes, if you see me in a pair...I didn't pay $235 for a pair of shoes!  I got some flip flops for this summer during a private sale during the winter...can't wait to pull them out! (okay, I've already wore them some). I also found Emily a pair of Michael Kors Boots for next Fall!  MK shoes for less than I paid for boots for her at Target!

Why didn't they come in my size?

They're so cute! 

Check out this cutie at the park....

Hailey keeps busy during the day, but NEVER wants to go Night Night!  She LOVES dogs and likes going to the playground.  Here she is below when it's time to get up in the morning!  

It takes her a while to get going in the mornings. 

 Here she is at Moppets resting :)

BUT...when she's up & recharged she's non stop!

Emily made a GREAT commercial for school...check it out below!

She's our little Movie Star!!

February 2016

 February has been a hard month for us, 

but still we had some good times! 

 Fun at the Crab Shack with Uncle Jason!

 Hailey on HEART day!

 We made a trip up to Atlanta with Meema...

and we got to stop at our favorite BBQ place!

 The girls in matching dresses at church!

Emily is growing cabbage for a school project! She's growing it at Nana's house...we all know I kill plants so it couldn't stay here.

Van has stopped piano lessons (his teacher is not teaching any longer), so Van needs to decide what he wants to do!  Maybe we can find a new teacher or maybe he'll want to try a new hobby. He's not sure what he wants to do.  Trey celebrated his 43rd Birthday with a low-country boil which has become his tradition. He has also been learning more about how to solve plumbing problems (not by choice but by necessity)...if it's not one thing it's another around here! #brokenwaterpipes

Hailey got a potty seat this month and is working on using the potty a little bit.  She is also talking more and more!  

I think we are all ready for warmer weather and for Spring!

 

January 2016

 

 

The end of December went pretty fast!  

I celebrated my 40th Birthday by going to see Star Wars with the family!

 (Hailey had fun with Meema...she'll have to wait a little longer for her first theater movie)

I guess we could have had a "date" alone, but I didn't want to leave Van & Emily out of the fun!

 

Van turned 12 years old!!

 

This was the first Christmas without my Daddy.  It will almost be a year...next month.

Christmas Photos

 

 

I received a Fitbit on my birthday!  It's okay, but I don't like having to check it on my phone to see my steps.  I don't wear it every week, but maybe it'll be more fun to do in the Summer when it's warmer outside.  I do wish I had a walking partner with a little one like Hailey to walk with each week.  

 

 I tried hot lemon water....NO, thank you!  I'll just stay with coke :)

 

We had some warm winter days and enjoyed walking at the Beach!

AND talk about walking...Hailey is learning to walk again!

 The kids started off the New Year with a POLAR PLUNGE!

Emily even played in the water!  

I thought they'd jump in and out really fast!  It has been warm, but the water was still cold!

I've been carrying my goodwill fake $5 dollar LV bag this month.  I really want a real LV handbag, but until I win the Lotto (which I played 2 times this month and didn't even win a dollar)...I guess I'll keep dreaming.

 

 The kids went to Chuck E. Cheese's this month...even Hailey had fun!

 Hailey's hair is getting so long!  

I'm not sure what to do because I want it to grow but she pulls her hair bows out! 

She is a mess...and so funny :)

 We have had some sick days in January. BOO!

 Emily and I have been using hand sanitizer to try to keep germs away! 

Bath and Body works has lots of cute ones out right now!

   

Van made honor roll and got to see snow flurries this month!

 What I'm watching on TV this month...



Someone around here is into Paw Patrol!

 Emily and I are excited about this next month....

 

Well, it's a New Year...new things to "try" to do!

The key word is "TRY"...

  

1.  Read the Bible...all of it!

 

2. Play around with learning to crochet!

3.  Remember to just enjoy things!

 

 Happy New Year,
