Bowling!

The boys went shark bowling at Bass Pro during Annalise's birthday party.

Mystery Dinner

We had a mystery dinner for Annalise's birthday party this year. It was so fun. She has the sweetest group of ladies in her grade at school.

They had fun guessing what the menu items were based on the clues.

N-I-N-E years of Annalise!

How have nine years passed with this little lady?!? Annalise is such gem. I'm so thankful for her!!

Birth Day

Happy Birthday Annalise!!!

We had a very fun time celebrating Annalise's birthday this year!

She got a GIANT teddy bear from my parents. It was so fun seeing her reaction when she opened it. All of the girls on the street have been having fun playing with it!

Calvin and Hobbes

The big kids have been crazy about Calvin and Hobbes lately. Nana mailed them the box set of the complete collection.

Bike Adventures

We rode bikes to the local duck pond and then to the gas station to get a treat!

Brave Boy

Elliot had another ear surgery this fall- hopefully his last!

He is so brave!!!
