The BEACH!!!!

This is seriously one of our most favorite things to do! We wait all year for the BEACH! This year was a shorter trip than usual since we are MOVING!!! next month! Eek!! So we squeezed in a 4 nights there. We didnt have the best weather, but it was the beach and it was a vacation. Our friends Adam and Shelley came with us with there little girl Peyton who is 18 months old. Cole LOVED Peyton to say the least. He kept saying "she's like my little sister".

Ready to go!

Loving on Peyton

Always there to help Peyton

Spring Soccer 2015

Cole had such a good time playing soccer. He had the sweetest little team. I am so glad that we decided to play. Cole liked it and was actually pretty good. Who knows, it may be his sport! but then again he is just 4 so who knows?!?! For right now we are going to give it another try. Get ready for Fall 2015







Coles Birthday Party and Mothers Day



 So we had Coles birthday party... about a month late! Well that is what happens when his daddy convinced him to have a bonfire party and mom said that fire and four year olds was not a good idea, but then mom didn't start planning anything else. Oh well, it was great and fun was had by all. We had it at our church again. Got the bouncy house and had a great time. Cole has decided that he is "not a fan" of cake anymore. He asked if he could have donuts instead of cake. It was great! Easy! and everyone loved it.





Pinata Fun!

Cole turns 4, Soccer and House Progress

So Monday April 13, 2015 Cole turned 4!!! Crazy! How in the world did that happen? He was pretty pumped. We had a a little birthday dinner with donuts, balloons, chick-fil-a and a present. He was SO  excited about his Bat-bot and his Paw Patrol blanket. This kid is obsessed with "soft things" which is what he calls soft blankets and stuffed animals.



Cole is REALLY enjoying soccer. Who knows, we may just have us a little soccer player. I am so glad we decided to go ahead and sign him up. He is on the sweetest little team. Most of the kids are from church and the coaches are from church, one being a guy I grew up with, so it is great being apart of it. He has been really aggressive and thoroughly loving it!



Saturday, April 18th we had a little family birthday party out at the house to show the family the progress of the house and have a bonfire party for Cole. Of course after we got everything set up it rained. Good thing the garage was there. We just moved everything inside to the garage. We still had a fun night.
Sign Cole made to tell everyone to bring "soft things"

 Casey had talked Cole into wanting a bonfire, I didn't think 4 year olds and fire was such a good idea :-/ so since it took a little while to convince them not to have a bonfire party with friends, nothing was available on either weekend of his birthday. So now we will just have to have it later, but this kid definitely has not missed out. We have just extended the celebrating. :)

Making great Progress!

Well, it took a long time for this to happen and with all the bad weather we had I never dreamed it would come along so fast. Hope it continues!

Fun things happening....

So it took a while, but we have FINALLY gotten the approval for our septic permit, apparently you have to have that before anything can really start happening. So that means that the footer guys can now get started. Fingers crossed we will be smooth sailing! Now we just need this weather to cooperate!! This week we have been in an ICE storm! We are on day 3 of being in the house. We are not suppose to get above freezing until Saturday. Guess we will see...
Silly on this snowy/icy day.

My cute surprise from the window! :)
Craig and Sarah got engaged!!! Yay! They will be getting married June 20, 2015, so lots of things going on with building a house, wedding things, finishing the second half of the school year and moving in our new HOUSE! Craig asked me to hide in the closest and try and get some pics from the proposal. It was fun! He proposed at the Frist and everything went beautifully. She said YES!

"I had the fun pleasure of being the photographer, hidden in the closest, while my brother, Craig Parnell, PROPOSED, to the amazing Sarah Martin tonight! and she said YES!! Looks like I am getting another fabulous sister-in-law. smile emoticonCongrats!"


This is the first year Cole has been able to help me with his Valentines! Getting to be so big :)
