Birthday Wreath


This is the ECU wreath that my sister gave me for my birthday! I thought it was very unique and pretty cool!

Marbles Museum!

We took the kids to Marbles Museum yesterday! They had a blast. We actually met Thomas, Amanda, Savannah, and Hannah Grace up there also. It was really neat place and the kids had a blast!

Visit with Gran-Gran and Nana!

Here are a few pictures from our last visit with Gran-gran and Nana! He is still very sick and doesn't seem to be doing well at all, so many prayers would be greatly appreciated. It was nice seeing them and spending some time with them on Father's Day as well as some of the family that I hadn't met before!

Latest Creation!!


My latest creation has been making bird feeders for some of my family and friends as gifts. Here is a picture of the one that I made for myself. Of course we had to decorate ours ECU style! I must say these are some very happy birds because they are eating all of our seeds! Sadie has really enjoyed seeing all the different kinds and colors of birds!

Almost there!



Well I officially have three and half weeks until my scheduled c-section! I am very excited! The doctor's appointments have gone well and Chloe seems to be growing at a very good pace. Here is a picture of my pregnant self last week (so 4 weeks before due date). I am hanging in there. Definitely getting more tired in this heat, but can't complain to much considering how healthy Chloe and I are now!

Fun with Robbin's and Radez's!!

A couple of weeks ago we spent the day with the Radez's and Robbin's! We had a blast and hopefully one day we can spend even more time with them regularly! We had a lot of fun at the pool and got some really cute pictures! There's a really good one of Sadie and Logan!

Sadie's First Trip to the Spa!

Yes the title says it correctly! No, JJ and I haven't lost our minds! Sadie was invited to her friend Haven's birthday party today! It was at a children's spa here in Greenville called "Glamour-Liscious"! It was absolutely precious and Sadie took in every minute of it. The people treated these 4 year olds just like they do us 30 year olds! I was amazed!!! Sadie got up early this morning and was already excited about getting dressed up. She got her nails and toe-nails done as well as some eye shadow, lip gloss, and a fun fashion show on the red carpet! The pictures really do more justice that my words! They then had pizza, cake, and topped it off with fixing their own ice cream sundae! Now, this is my kind of treat! I guess I just need to be four again to get these benefits ever again! It was a great experience for Sadie and I am glad that I was able to share this special day with her! Praise the Lord that the Ellis's were able to watch Dakota during this time!!:):)


Pool Time at Nana and Papa's

Sadie and Dakota got to spend the weekend with Papa and Nana during Memorial Day so that we could work at Busco Beach! They had a blast and were introduced to some water fun! With this heat that we have had lately, it made for perfect day! It was wonderful!

Sadie's Daycare/Preschool Presentation!!

Last Saturday, Sadie had her Preschool Graduation! I can't believe that this will be Sadie next year! She will be graduating and going to school! It was really cute seeing the kids sing their songs and perform in front of everyone! We were of course very proud and it was wonderful having Nana to come and surprise her by coming to the ceremony! Sadie loved every minute of it! I must say that Dakota was quite the proud Big Brother too. When Sadie was up there singing, he was just clapping and yelling for her. He does love his sister!
