Girls Basketball Tournament

We travelled to Birmingham to watch the Bob Jones Girls Basketball Team play in the State Tournament against Hoover. Of course, they won!!! It is their second year in a row to win the State Title! We are so proud of the girls! Our good friend, Tim Mayer, is Assistant Coach to the Girls Team, so we are a little biased.

Yea!! They won!!

Go Bob Jones!!

Oh yeah...the Boys Basketball team played right after the Girls. However they were not so lucky. They lost to Vestavia Hills. Perhaps if they had Tim as one of their coaches....

Quiet Night at Home

On Friday after running errands and Dance class, Caitlin, Harrison and I met Randy for supper at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Yum! We then headed home to our nice warm house for a quiet night together where we played games and lounged on the couch. What a perfect end to the week!

Helping with Supper

Caitlin and Harrison absolutely LOVE to help get supper ready. They love to help cook, set the table, make the drinks, and fix the plates. They just don't like the clean-up afterwards! Tonight Randy made spaghetti, and they were his good little helpers.

"Look! I set the table for you."

" Am I doing a good job?"

I know, I know...I am very spoiled to have such a wonderful family who will do all of this for me!

Spinning My Wheels

Have you ever felt as if you were busy, busy, busy, yet you never got a thing done?! Well, that is the way it has been this week. For some reason we just had a lot piled on our plates. Monday was a holiday, so the week started out very laid back. But...Tuesday night I had a meeting at church, Wednesday afternoon Caitlin had a make-up dance class, Thursday afternoon was Caitlin's regular dance day plus Pizza Inn Night for my school, and Friday was also her regular dance class. I was ready to collapse by then (which I did at about 8:30!). Then on to Saturday...we had birthday parties, Kids Market drop-off, shoe shopping, grocery shopping, plus the normal Saturday clean-up at our house. Whew!! It makes me tired just writing about it all. So nothing exciting really--nothing to take a single picture of! Except we did get to go over to our friends' house, Shannon and Tim, and eat a "Southern" meal of fried chicken and waffles. Never heard of it, but apparently the Food Network calls it a traditional Southern meal! (It WAS delicious) Hopefully next week will hold better photo opportunities for me and be much calmer!

Valentine's Day Walk

We went on a walk together for Valentine's Day because it actually turned out to be a pretty nice day, and Harrison was feeling much better. We just bundled him up and loaded him up into the stroller (he hasn't ridden in it since our trip to Disney last summer!). My mom (a.k.a. Ma-Ma) came and spent the afternoon with us, so it was a fun outing for all of us.

Cookie Decorating

This morning our Sunday School class got together to decorate Valentine's cookies together. It was a lot of fun just like always. Harrison did not get to go due to his sickness, but Caitlin is the kind of big sister who offered to decorate some cookies for him! Randy and I feel very blessed to be a part of this wonderful Sunday School class. They have been there for us during good times and bad and have cooked us the most wonderful meals after moving into our new house, after Harrison was born, and after I had surgery last year. I can honestly say that there is no other place we would rather be at 10:30 on a Sunday morning than in Cornerstone Sunday School! AWWWW!!!! Well...it is Valentine's Day isn't it?!



My Sweet Valentine!

Barry, Robin, and Andrew Collier eating more than decorating, maybe?

Jonythan and Sam really got into their decorating.
