Fancy pumpkins

October 28, 2020

Robert’s office is doing a pumpkin decorating contest this year and we decided to get out the paint and make some fancy pumpkins!

Maxwell made this minion all by himself – no help from me at all!

“Boo-nana!”

Spencer got started on this Baby Yoda but then lost interest so I finished it out.

“Flying in a Pod”

Samantha did a lot of the painting on her unicorn – and all of the glitter!!

Independence Day

July 6, 2020

We had a great and low-key 4th of July. This is the first 4th in 8 years that we’ve been in Birmingham! The kids and I spent most of the day at the pool.

Why, yes, they are dressed in red, white and blue! Thanks for noticing!  🙂

That night we made a good summer vegetable dinner, watched Hamilton (most of it anyway), and caught a big fireworks show from our window! A great way to spend the day!

Momma

May 8, 2020

My very favorite thing to be? Momma. I love being Momma to these three smiling, happy kids…

We’ve been spending every waking moment together (and some sleeping moments too!) and I still think they’re the greatest things in the world. They’re awesome kids and I’m so glad they are mine. How in the world did I get so lucky?!

Sending very happy Mother’s Day wishes to Lulu, Susu, and GJ!! We love you!!

Easter

April 15, 2020

It was not a normal Easter around here but we still had a good day. We had dyed eggs the day before…

and the bunny did come so the kids were excited to get some treats…

He also hid the real eggs outside and lots of fake eggs inside. A fun hunt for all!

The weather wasn’t great and we had some severe storms that night. We tried to get out for a bike ride but didn’t make it very far before the rain came.

We did make some cupcakes which made the day special.

Other than that, I took a much needed nap, the kids watched The Goonies for the first time, and we all had pork tacos for dinner. Easter indeed! Hope you all had a good one!
