I've fallen a little behind on my Project Life layouts. I've been working some this week, but instead of staying chronological, I skipped around a little bit to week 21. I'll get to weeks 18-20, and 22-24, sometime. But here is week 21:Left side:Right side:This layout was special ...
First Grade End-of-the-Year Celebration
Today was the end of the year field trip for first grade. They went to Spring Park in Tuscumbia, AL and had so much fun! They have a small roller coaster to ride, ducks and geese to feed, and this cute little train that went all around the park. Here is Kyndall with part of her ...
Pumpkin Patch Field Trip at 4D Farms
Kyndall's class ventured out on a pumpkin patch field trip on the absolute, most coldest day we have had yet this year. I think the temperature barely reached 45 degrees and the wind was blowing 120 miles an hour. Seriously. The weather was absolutely miserable, but the field trip ...
Pumpkin Patch tradition
For four years now, the West family and the Johnson family have made annual visits to the Pumpkin Patch. Our usual place is Tate Farms, but this year, we tried out Gullion Farms. (You may remember that name from this post.)The kids had SO much fun! They saw the animals in the ...
Warrior Dash
Emily and I did the Warrior Dash in Warrior, Alabama this weekend. It was SO much fun!! The second the starting gun went off, the rains fell down. It poured the ENTIRE time we ran. The good part was that everytime we got covered in mud, the rain washed it off :)Here is a quick ...
Atlanta Braves, Star Wars, and a Mini-Vacay
For the past two days, we have been on a mini-vacay to Atlanta, Georgia, with some of our very best friends. Can I just say that I have no clue how people traveled before technology? Between Ipods and DVD players, there was hardly a peep from all four kids on the entire 4 hour ...
The One in Which I Direct A Wedding
I was honored to be asked to direct a wedding this weekend. It was the wedding of my very best friend from high school, Cassie's, sister. And the first wedding I have ever directed. We have had the hottest, dry-est summer I can remember, but the week leading up to the wedding it ...
Summer Memories and a Good Book
I am so thankful for the wonderful memories we are making this summer! Yesterday, we took the kids to see a movie at the Monaco and then bowling. My girls had never been bowling before and they loved it! (The photos aren't so great, thanks to the lighting.)And today, we went ...
Ordinary Days
Today has been a perfectly ordinary day. There was mostly good. There was a little bad. It’s not really worth retelling. Our perfectly ordinary day has, in an odd way, made my heart heavy. I’m so very thankful that my girls spent the day splashing and giggling at the ...
Brave
On Sunday, we went with a few of our favorite people to see the new movie, Brave. It was super cute and had a great moral lesson--Don't be disrespecting your mama!! :)These kids are so great at taking pictures--I guess they are somewhat used to it :)Then, Sunday night, we started a new class ...
A birthday party
Happy birthday to my Daddy!! He turned a ripe old 39 today! (Just kidding, he's a tad older than that, but we'll keep it a secret!) Here he is with all his girls:We celebrated his happy years with a dinner at my parents house and a homemade peach cobbler. Yummy :) Happy birthday to ...
A Wedding Story
Last night, Justin and I went to a wedding in Florence (the first of three that we will be attending this summer....guess it's wedding season for our friends!). One of my sweet friends from high school got married, and it was so much fun seeing several of the people that I graduated ...
