Winter at the Beach!

These boogie boards sure came in handy!

Miscellaneous photos and videos of 2014...





"Say, what's inside this?" Braden asks...
Oops….!!




 We love when Grandmom and Granddad visit…






Silly's… :)



It's so cute…
Joshua has taken to standing with our pastor on Sunday mornings
…could he be a preacher in the making?!

 Micah really took to this little guy when the animals
came to his school. :)

 Yum!!! Joshua's loving his breakfast out with Daddy at IHOP...


Baby bear is a "stand in" for Joshua who is still snoozing...



Loved my cookie cake this year!
Of course Tim said he couldn't find a 3 candle or a 9 candle around the house,
so he had to use the 4 and 0…yeah, right. :)

The boys love time with the Mackey's!





We enjoy family game nights. :)

Christmas 2014







Romantic sleigh ride at Billy Graham's family
home and library in NC.

 One of our favorite nights of the year…:)


Christmas morning…

Happy Birthday, Jesus!

We are so thankful Eddie could be with us again this Christmas!


 Joshua and Micah's school's Christmas programs and parties...





The boys' Christmas program at church…



One of our favorite Christmas traditions…
going out as a family to shop for items
to place in our shoeboxes…
the boys love picking out each item and packing our two boxes
for the little boy and little girl
somewhere in the world who will receive them,
along with our letters and picture.
Although we may never meet them this side of heaven,
we feel as though we have through this beautiful experience.

Another favorite tradition we have as a family is making our "blessing bags"
for those we may see on the road who are in need.
Here we are shopping at Sam's…
the boys are picking out items they want to include in each bag.:)

Celebrating Christmas at Grandmom and Granddad's!!!
Joshua helped Grandmom and Granddad put up their tree…
it was very serious business…


 Mmm-Hmm…daddy's boys...


 At least I have one fellow fan in the house...



 This was the perfect gift for him, Robin and Jeff!:)


And for me...Yay!!!

Celebrating Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa!!!
Thank you, Grandpa for building us an awesome workbench!:)

That's cool, kiddos! :)
 We enjoyed a fun bike/scooter ride on a beautiful trail one afternoon...
And, we had so much fun on Uncle Jim and Aunt Kori's
