Pizza Making Duo

Last week, my two boys made pizza together.  I love watching them interact! 

Tater LOVES to help in the kitchen. 


While the pizza was in the oven, these two were playing around with the oven mitts, giving each other high fives with the oven mitts on. 


I just love these two (and Tater's smile face). 


The finished product. 
Yummy pepperoni (they are hidden under the cheese) gluten free homemade pizza. 

Grandma Virgie


Grandma Virgie, Dave's Grandma, is here for the winter.  
So glad that Tater will get to spend time with her.

35 Years Ago

35 year ago today, two people, now known as Nana and Papa, made a commitment to each other.  They promised to stand by each other through thick and thin, through times of hardship and joy, through whatever the future would hold. 


 I am so thankful to be a product of that marriage, a marriage that is still intact today.  I am one of the lucky ones, an adult who can say that my parents are still married.  So many marriages end in divorce these days and it brings me such joy to have parents that love each other. 



Thank you, Nana and Papa, for raising us in a Christian home, for always loving us, for always keeping Christ the center of our home. 

Thank you for not only being great parents, but awesome grandparents.  Tater and Ayla are two of the luckiest kiddos on the planet. 



Thank you for being some of our biggest supporters when we decided to adopt and for accepting and loving Tater.  He adores his Nana and Papa. 

Happy 35th Anniversary!

Friday Night Fun

Sometimes you just have to play in your undies and jump off the couch on a Friday night!  :)

Just had to share this!  :)  Can't believe Christmas is only a week away.

J Week

This week, we have learned about the letter J!  It's one of my favorite letters. 

Jiggle, which is what this toy does when you turn it on.
 Jet
 We drove cars and tractors on J roads.
 Jump
 The most important J-Jesus.
 She cracks me up!
 B was reading to Tater during some playtime. 
 Jackets
 J!
 Another pic that cracks me up.  We had been reading books together and I told them to look at the camera for a pic. 
 Jungle
 Tater during his nap.
 Reindeer.  Yes, we know this doesn't start with a J, but with Christmas around the corner, we wanted to include some Christmas stuff, too.
Jingle Bells
 Jesus!
J words in our ABC book.
 We found something else that it's the shape of a J!
 Jewelry
 Watching videos of how jellyfish swim.
Watching videos of jets!
