Hats Off the 100th Day of School

The 100th day of school at Winfield Elementary was Monday, January 24. The kids were able to wear hats to school. They could wear funny hats or just a hat of their choosing. Savannah wore a glittery top hat and Jack wore his Breckenridge hat.

Happy Birthday Blake!

Julia's best friend Jake had a Western birthday party including horseback riding. Julia loved it! She was all dressed up in her cowgirl attire.

Fun with Julia

I did not have to work today so I got to spend the afternoon with Julia alone. We cooked lunch, did laundry and played with Julia's new Snow White puzzle. She was so excited that she was able to complete the puzzle by herself on the first try. While she was putting her puzzle together I was able to play with my camera and then edit the pictures on my computer.

I'm In LOVE....

with my NOOK Color! I had fought the e-reader for a while saying I like to hold a paper book and turn the pages. Or I can't justify buying another peice of technology just for reading a book. Well, anyway after watching many people on our flight to Colorado and trips out of town trying to read a book with the light of my cellphone with Trey telling me you need an e-reader, I decided to give in and get one with my Christmas money. I love it! I decided on the NOOK Color over the others because I could get other apps for it, download magazines and newspapers and also it reads children's books to Julia. It is wonderful! The only downfall to it is that it is way too convenient now to get the latest book that is out.

Basketball

Savannah and Jack are both playing basketball this year. We have had two Saturdays filled with basketball. Savannah is one of the younger girls on her team so she doesn't get a lot of playing time, but she loves it. Jack's league still plays everyone an equal amount.

SNOW DAY

We are now on snow day number 3. I'm very sick of snow and cold and ready to go back to work!. I thought we had seen our snow for the year in Breckenridge (where snow belongs) but it invaded Alabama. The kids have had a great time sledding, having snowball fights and building a snowman. It has been great to be trapped at home and not being able to go anywhere though.

And the Angels Sang Hallelujah!

The Sunday we left for Breckenridge, Jack accepting Jesus as his Lord and Savior. We were so excited with his decision. Last Sunday, Jack was baptized. He was so excited to have everyone at church to celebrate with him. My family all lives in Winfield where we do and all go to the same church, but Trey's parents, sister, brother-in-law and nephew all came to see Jack being baptized.
