It is super fun to look at a lego building book and come up with creations like this!!!

 Baylen has grown sooooo much

 Bo has been amazing me lately with his comics. He loves to get paper...draw pictures and have me write in the speech bubbles. His stories are amazing

McRae watching his brothers...he kept pulling the magazines over to watch!

 Valentines just four days late...the kids are going back to school tommorrow and they are ready. Here are Valentine rice crispie treats for Baylens class...no Pintrest here....

 But....yes Pintrest here....gift for teachers....but I thought it was super cute

 Bo worked so hard on his invitations...he wanted Batman but also added his own little art work

 Samantha wanted to make her own valentines....it lingered and lingered....then she decided she wanted to cut out the names from magazines...she did it though...and they are SUPER cute. I love that girl

Boots by the fire.....

 Lots of organizing beer bottles...this was McRaes escape...

 Bo at baseball tryouts...so proud of him

 So here is the Rose that Bo found at CVS and wanted to get for Caroline...he added a note and we walked to give it to her today...it was the cutest thing EVER

 And look what she gave him...she said "I knew you liked Batman" my sweet boys first Valentine...well after me of course :) hee hee

Lots and lots to blog about

Lots and lots to be thankful for...

for one..I am thankful my economics days are over!

Helping Samantha study for an economics test tomorrow made me throw up in my mouth

I HATED IT THEN

and I hate it now...

she rocked it though...

must take after her daddy

 So today when I was reading this book to baylen he has a puzzled look on his face..he asked when he sneezes why don't words come out...I could not stop laughing...the innocents of a child!
I also noticed today at the grocery store Baylen notices things like the picutes hanging up high...have you noticed that...like UGA and football players...they are huge and all over the walls in the store...he also notices basketball goals and balloons high in the rafters...it really gives me a reminder to stop and notice things...really truly amazing

 baylen also made the discovery today that Yoplait yogurt cups look like you are eating it upside down. He was very concerned with why I was opening the cup on the bottom instead of the top. As I looked , the yoplait cups do indeed widen at the bottom so it looks like a cup upside down...he really could not get past this!

 Can you say....tooooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch hot coooooooooooocooooooooooo

 we love to take selfies

 do not remember if I shared this awesome Christmas card Samantha made me :)

 So just a way that times have changed....I got a call from one samanthas friends that she did not rememver her spelling words...memoeries from my childhood kicked in and I was ready to hand samantha the phone to call them out to her...with a long pause she said...could you just take a pic and text it to me....brilliant! kinda....if they only knew the work we went though to get spelling words! Here is a pic of a quick pic I snapped and turned it over to text world...I guess I should be thankful they even have spelling words....but I am not happy at the fact that for spelling test they type the words on a laptop...grrrrrr

 Poor sick strep bo....piper is always by his side

 New bible study to start soon...very excited

 Study Kevin and I are trying to stick too....must get better disciplined!

 Love getting books on cd at the library...love to cozy up with Baylen and listen..good old fashion fun

And that is when we are not playing a stack of games....Baylen always says...put crae to bed....he knows when he is asleep it is game time!!!

 And could not forget my first born and our super fun awesome 5k....had a blast...this is a standard face for my girl

Devotion today from Proverbs 31 devotions...

Our hearts long to be loved. We want to know someone treasures and values us. God loves us so much, when we put our faith in Him. The high price Jesus paid makes us incredibly valuable — no matter how worthless we may feel at the end of the day. You are a priceless work of art. The greatest Artist in the universe hand-crafted you. God gave the life of His only Son to have a relationship with you. That's how valuable you are. I'm clearly a sinner, not holy like God. But God loves me, and He loves you enough to pay an enormous price so that we could have our sins forgiven. 1 John 4:19, "We love him, because he first loved us."
