In today's busy world, this blog has become a way to share our lives with friends and family as well as personally journal thoughts and ideas of our day-to-day adventures.

Science Fair Results
We're so proud of this kid for her hard work on her first ever science fair entry. Kinsey worked very diligently (on a subject she of course loved--animals) and produced a wonderful experiment. She was rewarded with a top 5 finish in her grade and a medal to boot. Congratulations my little animal lover!

Tournament Shock
Well, it was a great basketball season that ended in the same dramatic fashion that the Shock was so good at--a one-point loss at the buzzer to miss out on the Championship game. The Shock walked away with an awesome 3rd place finish and a fun after-party and awards ceremony.

SHOCKING Good Time!
What a fun season Kinsey is having learning the more competitive side of basketball. She has grown tremendously under the watch of her two great coaches and has made some great friends along the way. I love to see her confidence develop throughout the season as she begins to feel more comfortable on the court. Go Shock!

Future Presidents
For our President's Day Holiday, we decided to celebrate by taking an AWESOME fun day trip to the Yellow River Game Ranch with Cousin Penson and his Mommy and Daddy. The weather was gorgeous--so nice we even got to have a perfect playground picnic together We are so lucky to have fun family close by to play with. Love you guys!

Frogs and Tadpoles
I couldn't be prouder of my family today as they all competed in the Frog Hop 5K and 1-mile Fun Run. All three of them did the fun run in blazing time. What amazed us all was that Kinsey immediately ran the 5K and WON her age group in a wonderful personal best time! What a beautiful day!

Neighborhood Fun
One of my most favorite parts of snow week was spending time with our awesome neighbors. From our daily walks to Striplings to our Mexican fiesta night, I'm convinced we live in the best neighborhood there is!

Valentine's Yum-ness
This has to be close to my favorite Valentine's meal ever--twin sweet lobster tails, mac and cheese, and grits. Add wine and key lime pie and how could you beat it?!?

Winter PAX a Punch
Another round of winter storms has arrived for us in the south. This one seems a bit more severe, mostly due to the amounts of ice that have been predicted. So far, so good--no down trees, still have power. We have finished Day 2 of no school, with Day 3 already cancelled and likely a 4th. We have had a great time walking to the neighborhood stores, skating, sledding, and boarding on the ice/snow mix and watching movies, playing card games and being lazy in general!

Disney Dream
For Christmas this year, Granny gave our family a long weekend trip to Disney. The mini vacay couldn't have come at a better time following the snow and bitter cold winter we have been having. We enjoyed our first experience at Downtown Disney and at the Pop Century Resort. My favorite moment was Max's first ride on Space Mountain (which he has REALLY been nervous about for a while). He of course loved it (followed by 5 more trips on the coaster! We also enjoyed visiting Tom Sawyer's island (also a first), breakfast with Lilo and Stitch and our day at Epcot as well. What a wonderful trip we had--thank you Granny!
