Happy 8th Birthday Dalton!!

On December 13th, 2002, I was blessed with a little boy named Dalton Blake.  I waited all day for his arrival and he finally showed up at 9:55 pm on Friday the 13th (yes, but it was not unlucky in the least).  He is so smart, he amazes me everyday.  I'm so proud of him. I'll share this, when they were writing what they were thankful for on Thanksgiving, Dalton wrote that he was "thankful for church because without it he would never get saved".  For the times when you think they are not paying attention, they will surprise you.  I'm proud that he knows the difference between right and wrong, loves his little sister (and let's her tag along) and is this wild and crazy little boy that fills our life with laughter. 

Dalton wanted an ice cream cake.  He said that he saw one with a construction theme.  Well, luckily Dairy Queen cake through.  Beware though, don't get blue icing...everyone had blue mouths.  I told them it was a trick cake.

Dalton had a few buddies to stay the night.  I think they stayed up all night...  I caught them playing Wii at 12:30 am...
If you'll notice in the background, Olivia has already been sampling the blue icing.

Happy Birthday Dalton, We Love You!!

Christmas Tree

Finally up and decoated.  I was so proud of the kids, Dalton brought the tree down from our storage area, found the directions on what color branches go in what order and put it together.  He had some help from Olivia and me, but he did the majority of it.  I put the lights on and the kids put on all the ornaments.  They were a great help! 

I got this plate in the Heartstrings Clearance store for $11, I thought it was a steal and super cute!

When we were on vacation, the kids bought me this plate at Cracker Barrel.  I thought they did a great job picking it out.  These make for great kitchen decorations. 

More photos later when I decorate my stairs!!

Weight Watchers

Hey, I tried the new Weight Watchers plan this week they just introduced.  I am doing the plan online using E-tools and I weighed myself this morning.  I lost 5.5 lbs.....  I've never lost that much in one week.  I'm very excited!!
