Valentines Weekend!

Friday Brooke had her class party at school since I had to make cupcakes and do the class store on Fridays Brady & I got to enjoy that as well. Saturday we went to Emmas birthday party at Skateland and the kids had a great time. Saturday night Heath & I went to eat with three other couples. I called my mom to check on the kids and she said Brady told her four times his throat hurt. When we picked them up at that night he was asleep & by midnight he was screaming and crying. He cried almost all night. Heath & I took turns holding him pretty much all night. There is definetly nothing worse then a sick child. Heath took him to the dr. Sunday morning & it was strep throat. I am just glad it wasn't the flu so he could get put on antibiotic & by Sunday afternoon he was watching Brooke & neighborhood kids out the window playing outside.

monster truck, ears pierced & school

Last weekend Heath & Brady went to monster trucks while Brooke & I went to Claires to get her ears pierced....again. We also had Jakes 3rd Birthday Party.
This past weekend we had Lauren Elizabeths party at Chuck E. Cheese & the kid were so proud of themselves because they weren't scared of Chuck E. & even gave him a hug. Today I took Brady to the school he will be going to next year every day from 9-12. He was excited but when we pulled up he said that playground doesn't look very fun. Oh well, I am sure he will enjoy it.

Snow Day!

The kids (and my dad) had a great time in the snow Tuesday. It made for a great four day weekend.

Gift Card Weekend!

My mom asked us early in the week if she could keep the kids all night Friday night so we could have a date night. We went to Olive Garden since we had a gift card from Christmas. We were going to see a movie but the lines were to long so we just shopping in Sandhills & used our starbucks gift cards we got for Christmas. Thank you mom! Saturday we took the kids to see a movie since we had gift cards from Christmas. On the way we stopped at Dollar General for them to pick out some candy since they actually had 5 dollar gift cards to Dollar General they got for Christmas. We saw Bedtime Stories and it was really cute. Afterwards we went to Pizza Hut because of the gift card we had from Christmas. Thanks to everyone who gave us gift cards we enjoyed the weekend on you! Hope everyone has a great week.
Oh, Anitra thanks for lunch Sunday. I would have ordered Diet Coke if I knew Greg was buying, lol!!

Prayer Request!

Please pray for one of my best friends Heather Branham and her family as her father had a heart attack and passed away this evening. Heather is married to Henry Branham from Lugoff. She is actually beside me in the previous blog in the blue shirt. Her Aunt & Uncle also live in our neighborhood & go to our church so please pray for the entire Branham/Hall/Brazell family. He was a Christian but I still couldn't imagine losing my dad at such a young age & so sudden so please pray for them.

Wendy

I still can't believe Wendy & the girls are moving this weekend. Laura has moved back to Charleston, Heather to Summerton, Ana to Alabama and now Wendy to Greenville.
I am so thankful for the friendships made through our church & neighborhood. None of these girls are originally from here so I never really expected them to stay forever but the church and neighborhood won't be the same without Wendy, Kayla & Ashlynn.
Yesterday as we were packing up her house and the moving truck was there that is when it really hit me. I was kind of in denial that they were really leaving. I am thankful for people like Wendy who have been through so much but always has a postive attitude. She has been a great Godly friend who has taken her situation and used it for the good and has been such a role model for so many.

Christmas

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
