ME turns 4!

We had a fun but low key birthday this year. ME took her best friends Addison and Bella to lunch at Chick-fil-a and to see Beauty and the Beast at the movie theater. ME and her great grandmother Pat shared a family birthday party as well.

Mike's birthday

ME was so proud to make cupcakes for her daddy's birthday!

Christmas

We had another great Christmas. The rule as I was growing up was that you could ask Santa for 3 special things and whatever else you got was just a bonus. I have used this with ME as well. Her requests were so simple this year! She wanted a teddy bear, an Ariel, and a Sleeping Beauty. She got quite a few more surprises including a travel stable with ponies and a Cars 2 movie.

Callaway Gardens

We had another good trip to Callaway over the Thanksgiving holiday. ME visited with Santa, rode the trolley through the lights and went with Mike and I to the chapel where we got married.

New family members

The house was not the same without Molly. Two new puppies soon joined our family! Max a 6 week old yellow lab and Millie a 1 year old black lab. We have not slowed down for a second with these two.

Halloween

This year ME decided to be a butterfly fairy princes, Mariposa to be exact!

Molly

In October we lost our sweet Molly dog. She was 13 1/2 years old and had been my companion since before I knew Mike. We though that we were going to lose her in Dec. 2010, but she gave us another 10 months for which I am thankful. She even made the annual beach trip with us in July!

Grunt and Grind Guntersville

In October we went to a race in Guntersville. Mike and his buddy Chris competed together in a 6 hour adventure race. They had to bike, run, kayak and complete various challenges. ME went with us and we had a great time following the guys all around town watching them compete.

Warrior Dash TN





Mike ran a Warrior Dash in TN in September. It was a family affair. ME went with us and we stayed at Scottie and Phillip's house.

We're back!

I can't believe I didn't post throughout the entire school year. That probably says a lot about how busy it was! I'm going to post quite a few pictures to do an over view of the year.
