Good Character Award

We are so proud of our little girl...she got a Good Character Award at school this past week. We got to go to her "Morning Meeting" in the gym at her school which starts at 8:20 sharp every day. It was so cute to see all the kids go about their routine in the morning. They said the pledge and they also have the 1st graders say the weather report. It was so precious. Ellie was not aware of the award until they called her name. Her teacher sent me a text message a few days before to let me know and she told me that she would keep it a surprise from her until that day. Ellie as shocked to see Danny and I there when she got her award. I also got a magnet saying that my child got the award "good character". I am so proud and love it! Here are a few pictures from it..:) Enjoy!

Fun..:)

Easter Pics

We celebrated Easter Sunday with my Dad. We went to church first and then went out to eat at a seafood restaurant in Covington. Mrs. Rose's daughter Angie came in town and we got to see her son "sean" for the first time. He is almost one year old now. It was a great visit. We all went to my Dad's house after for the "egg hunt". The kids had a lot of fun and also got to play baseball with Danny. They were so cute because they are learning how to hit the ball and catch it. It was a nice day! We also got Victoria that evening. We are all excited to spend time with her because we don't get to see her as often as we would like.
We ended up taking a trip to the gulf coast the next day since Ellie and Victoria were out of school. We got to swim and lay out in the beautiful sunshine. It was a great mini vacation and great family time..which was much needed!

Happy 9 year Anniversary!

On March 24th, Daniel and I celebrated our 9 year Anniversary! Where has the time gone! It really has just flown by! I know that NO marriage is perfect and I don't expect perfection! Our relationship is like an Oak Tree...it just gets better and stronger as the years go by! We have learned so much about each other and we except each other for who we are. He puts up with my faults and visa versa! I Love him just the way he is because I know that God sent him for me! He is a great husband and father. He has a special way with the kids when I can't get them to listen or understand what I am saying. Daniel is so easy going and understanding. He works really hard to provide for his family and I am so greatful for everything he does. I never thought that we would end up with 4 children but here we are so very blessed and looking forward to what God has in store for our family! I am so glad that we both have the same views on family and religion because the are the two most important things! I just love him so much! There is a song by Brad Paisley called..I thought I loved you then... and that song totally explains how I feel.

Love to all,

Hide and go seek...

A Day at the park!

Today has been a great day so far. Woke up early to start the day with a photo job at 9am at a park nearby. Then I promised I would let the kids play at the park right after if they were well behaved...so we went to the park! It was so much fun watching them play and just be kids! Gabe has finally learned how to push himself on the swing...he pumps his legs! Ha ha!
He is so proud of himself! It is a really big deal!
We stopped at the grocery on the way home to buy a roast to cook. Came home and put it in the oven for dinner!
Now we are heading to the mall to get Gabe's hair cut. After that, we will come home and a baby sitter is coming to watch them so that I can go and do another photo shoot this evening. After the photo job, I am going with some friends of mine to "painting with a twist". It is a birthday celebration for Nancy! I know it will be tons of fun and Angie is going too! Two of my awesome friends! I just can't wait! I really need a little break every now and then! I am so thankful for days like this!
Love to all,
Lizzy
