Let's try this again

I've gone back and forth for the past year on whether to revive the blog or just let it be. I am a lover of blogs and read them daily. I mostly enjoy reading about other moms that make it work and share all the mis-haps in between. I also enjoy crafting blogs. Saying that, I'm attempting to blend them both into my own. I feel like I've neglected this blog since facebook is such an easy way to share ideas, thoughts and photos with family and friends.

In an effort to bring you up to speed, I'm going to do so in photos so I'm apologizing in advance for the massive amount of pictures. Hold on and I promise it will get better. :)

December 2010 - Started Karate




April 2011 - Went to the Chattanooga Aquarium with Toot Toot (and not yet born baby E), Noona and Poppa



May 2011 - Went to the Nashville Sounds game for Connor's birthday

Celebrated mine and Hayden's birthdays

June 2011 - My niece, Elyza, was born (isn't she beautiful?!?!)
 

August 2011 - Hayden's first broken arm. Fell off the monkey bars and broke the radius and the ulna. Not a night I'm excited to relive. Although you can't tell by looking at the picture with his cast. By this time, it had been a few days and he was pain free. Praise Jesus!!

October 2011 - Beth and Michael had their annual Fall Festival/Beth's birthday bash. We made a photo back drop this year and it was a huge hit! I set my camera on the tri-pod and snapped pics as people walked by. They are hilarious! The first one here is of me, Beth, mom, dad and my grandmother. The second picture is of Beth's mother-in-law and her boys. We kidd that Nick looked like Yosimite Sam. :)

December 2011 - Christmas Day. All Hayden talked about was this Air Swimmer Shark so you know Santa had to bring it. He had so much fun making it "swim" in the air. Needless to say, it now sits in the bottom of his closet. Fun for the day I guess.

January 2012 - Hayden shot his first deer (doe). We were so proud of him and he was definitely proud of himself!

February 2012 - As part of Hayden's Christmas, we went to the Monster Jam in Nashville. He had an awesome time! As soon as we walked in, he spotted this hat with a bag of cotton candy. Score!!!

March 2012 - Dr. Seuss week. For story book day, he wanted to be Captain America

Starting in February, I've been participating in "photo a day" challenges. Yesterday's photo challenge was "funny". I decided to dig out the mustaches that Hayden got for Christmas. We had a blast playing with the different shapes and colors. I think he looks like a mini-Poppa. Too fun!

I'm sure I've missed a lot but most of my readers (all 2 of you) are my friend on facebook so you're probably up to date a bit more. I'm excited to add a few new things to the blog and hopefully can expand to new readers. Thanks for sticking around (if you're still there) and "Welcome" to any new readers. Happy reading!
