Kindergarten Registration

Courtney has been registered for kindergarten at Tabb Elementary! I am so excited for her to start; I know she's going to love being there, and she will excel as the newest Tabb Tiger. As a side note, Tabb is named after Mary Octavia Tabb, and Postmistress from the 1800s. Like I told my mom, I'm glad they chose tigers for a mascot, because Tabb Mail Carriers just wouldn't be the same.

Happy Mother's Day

I woke up this morning to find that Devin had made me chocolate strawberries while I was sleeping. He definitely knows the way to this girl's heart. As I focus on my mom today, I can't help but be overwhelmed with how awesome she is. She not only had 6 kids of her own, but she babysat a family of five kids every weekday! She had a lot of patience for us :) She also taught us all how to read, write, add, subtract, you name it, she did it. She also tried to teach us how to cook, but all I remember are a lot of messes in the kitchen accompanied by eye rolling from us kids; fast forward to college, and you would find me staring at the contents of my fridge trying to figure out what to do. Oi vey. I love her, and I am proud to pass down her love to my kids. 

Devin must be exhausted after melting chocolate and dipping strawberries. He cashes in some snuggle time with the Bug.

Merry Christmas

And thank you to family for presents and well wishes!

Work it!

Devin and I decided to get Courtney her very own, non-thrifted dresses. I had so much fun watching her model them. My favorite was a tie between the grey dress with polka dots and the black dress with the big pink bow. Courtney wanted the purple one without ruffles and the black dress with the multicolored sequined top. I ended up getting the purple one she wanted, and the Santa dress. She is going to be the cutest girl in church.

Primary Program

I am so excited to announce that October 13th will be Courtney's first Primary Program! I wish you could all be here with us to share. She has been practicing her songs and her line, and she is so pumped! I am too :)

Wintergreen Resort

Devin is a member of A.C.E. or Airmen Committed to Excellence. This week, their chaplain took the airmen and their family on a trip. We spent Wednesday through Friday together. The airmen spent time planning activities and receiving counseling from Chaplain Duplease. We stayed in this awesome 2bd/2bth. On Wednesday, we went zip lining, and it was so exhilarating! We also ate very well. We had dessert for lunch AND dinner. Jealous? :-P

This picture shows Courtney holding a glass bowl which contains a melted princess bowl. I put it in the oven so Mason could pretend to bake, and pull his creations out of the oven. Then I forgot it when I preheated it for dinner. Courtney wanted to make sure you all knew how sad it made her.
