Miller turns 4!

We had a great time celebrating Miller's 4th Birthday last weekend. Since we have had a winter filled with cold weather and snow, I figured that we wouldn't try to chance an outside birthday party this year. So, we planned on the sometimes dreaded Chuck E Cheese. And wouldn't you know the weather was perfect OUTSIDE, but who knew. Miller had a fun-filled time with his friends besides his moments of being scared of Chuck E himself, although I can't say I blame him:) My mom, Travis' mom and dad, sister and brother-in-law, and cousins were all able to join us.


Tate in his idea of heaven on earth-surrounded by video games. He told me after the party that he didn't just like it, he LOVED it!

After Miller was less than impressed with Chuck E, Travis took his ceremonial bite of birthday cake.

More snow!

Yesterday brought us more snow, so much so that they dismissed school early yesterday and cancelled school for today. Last month when we had snow the boys didn't actually get to see the snowflakes falling, this go-round the snow kept slowly falling all afternoon.



Tate liked eating the snow:)

Christmas and New Years

We had a wonderful Christmas together, it just keeps getting better as the boys get older. We had friends over for dinner after our church's Christmas Eve service. After the whirlwind of presents Christmas morning, we headed down to Birmingham to celebrate with my sister's family and my mom. As always, the kids loved being together and I enjoyed putting my feet up while the boys were entertained. We visited the zoo on Sunday to run off some excess energy and then headed back home.

We celebrated New Years in our traditional way with our friends Brent and Julie in Nashville. We went to the Brentwood Country Club for a fun casino night. We gambled with fake money and rang in 2010 at midnight.


As you can tell the boys weren't too sad to be left with a babysitter on New Years Eve

Brent and Julie's little girl loved Travis, we jokingly called him the baby whisperer all weekend, which is a reassuring thought as two newborns are headed our way!
