New Year, New Adventures, & New Friends

We kicked off 2015 with a slumber party with friends while Frank was on a hunting trip

Early morning muffin mixing while the rest of the house was still asleep

Enjoying fruits of their labor

News Flash:
We have a little boy who is potty trained!!!

The first day was a loooong one with many accidents
(Yes, I'm a little type A with documentation)

By the third day he got the hang of it!

Benjamin spent a lot of days in just his underwear

By the end of the week he had a page full of stickers : )

Then he put his pants back on and we ventured out

Since wearing his big boy underwear he has climbed to new heights!
(Those are his feet dangling at the top center)

He was so proud!

Hannah and her friends on the Shelby Farms slide for the first time.
She went down dozens of times!

Other new adventures included riding the carousel. 
Hannah kept saying "I want down"

Benjamin was not too sure about it either
Maybe next time

Benjamin and his new friend Noah worked together to give this car a tune up

We had Noah and his twin sister Julianna over to play

I had a wonderful reunion with my college room mates
(Diane, Beth, and Lindsey)
9 years...

...and 5 babies later : )
(little did we know that Lindsey would have her baby the next day!)

A boy and his hammer

Frank finished laying the brick around the sod in the back yard and started digging to level the ground for the brick patio. 

Benjamin was excited to ride on the skid steer with Frank when we visited him at work

He has started saying, "I love my sister"

Hannah loves to play in Benjamin's bed after nap time

John 10:27
"My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me."

This girl loves accessories!

"Do these make my cheeks look chubby?"

Hannah loves to keep her pearly whites clean

My guest bedroom after the holidays...
Just trying to keep it real y'all!
Our lives are never as picture perfect as we post...
we tend to only take pictures of those moments : )
