13 years later and we’re still laughing. Especially about the fact that you knew I was going to name this “Lucky 13”! I guess I’m pretty predictable after 13 years. Happy Anniversary to my favorite!

We’ve been celebrating Valentine’s Day early around here. The boys don’t have school today so they both had their school Valentine party on Wednesday. We made our cards last weekend and what kind did we make?
Big cats of course! 🙂 I was so proud of Maxwell for writing all of the wording on his cards. He then drew some cats on his and Spencer’s and then we just made color copies and tied them to the different masks.
Maxwell’s…
and Spencer’s…
Cute…and candy free! 🙂 I didn’t know Valentine’s Day was basically Halloween 2.0 until the boys got into school and came home with tons and tons of candy. They obviously love it!
On Wednesday, the boys wore their red and Samantha wore her pink, of course!
Maxwell had a great time at his school party and even ate some McDonald’s chicken nuggets. shocker! Love this picture of him with Mrs. Kathy…
and here’s my whole crew after school!
When we got home, we went through all the loot and goodies! They scored big!
While Robert will always “be mine”, we both know Valentine’s Day is all about the kids now and I’m so happy to have these 3 little Valentines!
My heart could burst! Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hi all! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was an adventure as always. Sunday Maxwell came down with the croup and was up barking like a seal all night long. We had him at the doctor by 8am on Christmas Eve and got some a steroid prescription and it worked pretty quickly, thank goodness. He was feeling much better by that afternoon and slept pretty good that night. Good thing because he needed to be rested up for Santa’s visit!
Despite Maxwell’s nasty cold, we had a great Christmas day and, yes, Santa did deliver that fire truck and choo-choo track he asked for! He also brought Spencer the school bus that Maxwell had requested for him. That Santa is pretty good! Full details on Christmas day to come tomorrow.
For today, a little zoo action. On the 22nd, we went to Zoolight Safari. It was really neat and really, really cold! We bundled the boys up as best we could – Spencer in a fleece bunny suit and Maxwell in his Elmer Fudd hat…
Ready for some lights!
We met some friends there and Maxwell got to hang with his new buddy, Jack.
Notice those red mittens on Maxwell (or mit-mits as he says!) – those are now his favorite things and he’s been wearing them every day, even though it’s been 60 degrees out!
We rode the train…
and the carousel…
After that, we were freezing and decided we had had enough Zoo for one night so headed out to get some pizza. A fun holiday night!
See you all later!
Not only can I not wait for BBB to get here, but I can’t wait to see what he’s going to be like as he grows up.
Will he be ready to head out on big adventures and crawl all over the rocks?
Stephie crawling
Or just try to crawl looking like he’s had too many drinks “on the rocks”? 🙂
Robert crawling
One thing’s for sure, he will definitely know how to politely fold his hands and pose…
Stephie
And look very cute in navy and white.
Robert
I can’t wait to see if he has red hair….
Stephie
But regardless of the color, I think it’s a given that he’s going to have a lot of hair!
Robert
And I can only imagine that BBB is ALWAYS going to be just as happy as these little kiddos…
Keath, Daddo, and Stephie
And never, EVER, act like this poor little guy! Right?! 🙂
Robert, Lou Lou, & Ronnie
Regardless of all the above, I do hope all our future holidays are this happy…
Stephie
and BBB is just as smiley as this cutie on all of his birthdays!
Robert
In all seriousness, if we really want to know what BBB is going to look like, just compare this:
Baby Robert
With this:
BBB
Mini-me anyone?
Taking true advantage of being in Alabama and so close to the fam, we spent a fun 2009 Christmas Eve and Day in Montgomery celebrating with the Browns….
We then headed back to Birmingham so we could host the Patterson family at our new house on the day after Christmas! Little did everyone know that while Robert and I were setting up this…
And waiting on Delaney and everyone else to make their appearance….
That not only were we cooking up a fantastic meal….
But we were cooking a bun in the oven as well!! We found out the morning of December 26th that we were going to become a family of 3!! woohoo! Guess Santa knew what we really wanted for Christmas after all…
A merry Christmas indeed!
