Ok, so it has been a couple weeks since I have taken the time to sit down and blog. I have only one excuse....LIFE. And it has been busy. Busy, yet I love every minute of it and am so blessed by the the life I have been given. So, what is it that we have spent the last couple of weeks doing? Well, we took Bree on an 8 hour car trip to Springfield, MO a couple of weeks ago. We rode with Gramps and Bebe to visit Josh and Emi (as Bree calls her). The car trip was not as bad as I had anticipated with a 22 month old little one. Bree slept and watched movies almost the whole way. We had so much fun visiting and enjoyed a lot of good food while we were there. The best part of the trip tho was when we woke up on Friday morning and there was snow everywhere. It snowed like 2 1/2 inches while we were asleep. When Bree looked outside she said "Broke". It was so cute. She kept telling us that it was broke outside. Little ones have such a precious way of viewing things and it is funny the things they come up with. We played out in the snow and Gramps and Kerry even built a snowman with Bree. She loved playing in the snow and liked to eat it even more. The trip was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed it. We have been celebrating a lot of birthdays this month. Last Friday we celebrated with cousin Brett for his 5th b-day. Wow it is hard to believe he is so old. He is such a sweet soul and a joy to be around. Saturday we journeyed to Allen to attend Emma Tomlin's birthday party. Emma is about 6 wks older than Bree and the girls have a special connection. Holly and I have been close friends since we were 13 and it is so special to see our little girls grow up together. The party was a lot of fun and we enjoyed seeing everyone. This week has been about spending a lot of time indoors since we have been blessed with the beautiful, much needed rain. I know our garden is rejoicing and thankful for all the water we are receiving. Kerry has been so busy working around our house and on our land. He got our dock and deck finished this week. They both add a lot to the look of our place and I know we are going to enjoy them this spring. Bree has been helping me pot some blueberry plants and really enjoys watering the plants and flowers. She is so independent these days. Definitely going on 2 years old. She has to do things her way or it gets really dramatic. She is so sweet but very head strong, too. She loves to color and draw and also loves to dance and sing. She is so fun to be around. She just radiates with energy and joy. She is such a blessing in our lives and I never imagined how much better a lil one makes everything. Sorry it took me so long to post, but now you have an idea of what our lives have been like for the last couple of weeks. Thanks for checking on us. XOXOX
