Our little Buddy

 We just got a sweet new addition to our crazy crew. His name is buddy and of course he is a miniature schnauzer. His color on paper is liver but he is a dark chocolate brown.

 He is already spoiled rotten and fitting in well with the rest of the gang. David may love him a little too much sometimes.

 He's a keeper for sure. He has a feisty personality and loves to talk and talk back. He thinks his bark is very serious.

 We just love our little guy!!

Valentine's 2018

 We had such a great Valentine's Day!
David and I had our parties at school/work.

 David absolutely loved going through his loot!!

 I made a special dinner for the kids that night, they requested appetizers and cupid floats.

even the doggies get goodies in our house 

pugs & kisses 

I love my little Valentine's so much!!!!

Family Fun as of late

Fun happenings around here as of lately....

James and I along with our friend Chip went to the David Crowder concert. It was phenomenal!!! 

 We took David and Addi to see Disney Live! They had so much fun that we had a blast.

 I took the kids to the circus...

 The boys rode an elephant! It took David some convincing but once he got started he was game!

 Circus food = dynamite!

 The last two weekends have been so beautiful that we have actually been able to get out to the parks and enjoy the outdoors!

 David and James Henry have been putting their Christmas presents to good use.

 This guy.....

 this is what ER visits are made out of......

 a little baseball in the park....
