SHANNON AND JAMES' WEDDING

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! SHANNON AND JAMES WERE MARRIED AT THE THOMAS HOUSE IN RED BOILING SPRINGS. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL VICTORIAN HOME BUILT IN THE 1800'S. THE DAY WAS SO NICE AND SHANNON AND JAMES WERE SO ADORABLE. IT WAS ONE OF THE SWEETEST CEREMONIES I HAVE EVER SEEN....ALEX WAS INCLUDED IN THE EXCHANGING OF VOWS. WE HAD WONDERFUL MEAL AFTER THE WEDDING. JOHN AND I GAVE A TOAST AND WE ENJOYED CAKE. I AM SO THANKFUL TO SHANNON FOR CHOOSING ME AS HER MAID OF HONOR.

MILES' VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY

WE HAD A GREAT TIME AT MILES' VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY AT SCHOOL. HE CHOSE THE INCREDIBLE HULK VALENTINES TO GIVE TO ALL OF HIS FRIENDS IN HIS CLASS. HE ALSO HAD TO BUY SPECIAL GIFTS FOR HIS SPECIAL GIRLS...MAISIE AND MIA. I TOOK TREAT BAGS FOR ALL OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS. OTHER MOMS BROUGHT CUPCAKES, COOKIES, JUICE BOXES, AND CHIPS. MILES LOVED READING ALL OF HIS VALENTINES AND THOUGHT IT WAS SO GREAT THAT HE RECEIVED 19 VALENTINES FROM FRIENDS. AFTER THE PARTY WE WENT TO THE BOOKFAIR IN THE LIBRARY AND MILES CHOSE SOME BOOKS. I AM SO GLAD THAT I COULD BE PART OF HIS DAY. I LOVE YOU, MILES.

PAJAMA AND VALENTINE CRAFT NIGHT AT THE LIBRARY

LUKE AND I HEADED FOR THE LIBRARY WHILE MILES AND DADDY WERE AT BASKETBALL PRACTICE THURSDAY NIGHT. WE MET KENNEDI THERE. THE KIDS WERE TO WEAR THEIR P.J.'S AND BRING THEIR FAVORITE STUFFED ANIMAL. THEY HEARD STORIES, DANCED TO MUSIC (WELL I DANCED WHILE LUKE HELD ON TO MY LEG), MADE VALENTINE CRAFTS, AND MADE VALENTINE COOKIES. OF COURSE I HAD TO STAY BY LUKE'S SIDE FOR ALL OF THE EVENTS. I THINK HE ENJOYED MAKING COOKIES THE BEST. HE PUT LOTS OF SPRINKLES ON HIS COOKIE. HE AND KENNEDI MADE VALENTINES FOR ONE ANOTHER AND EXCHANGED THEM. TOO SWEET.

PAW PAW'S HAT

LOOK AT LUKIE!! MILES WENT TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN CLARKSVILLE WITH HIS GRANDPARENTS AND GREAT GRANDPARENTS. MILES AND PAW PAW BONDED DURING THIS VISIT. PAW PAW GAVE MILES AND LUKE 2 OF HIS VIETNAM HATS. MILES WORE HIS WHILE HE LAID IN THE BED AND TALKED WITH PAW PAW. HE BROUGHT LUKE HIS HAT HOME AND LUKE COULDNT WAIT TO TRY IT ON. HE IS ADORABLE AND I KNOW THIS PICTURE MEANS SO MUCH TO PAW PAW. I HAVE TO GET ONE OF MILES IN HIS HAT TOO.
