Catch up!!

I know, I know....it's been forever since I've posted something. I just plain forgot!! So needless to say, I have a lot of pictures to share with you!! Hannah's birthday, New Years Eve, and just some miscellaneous pictures of the kiddos!!

For Hannah's birthday, we had a little pizza party with her grandparents and us. A little intimate party which she thoroughly enjoyed. We blew up balloons and had them out on the floor for them to play with and I made a homemade strawberry cake!! It was the best!

The next day we were invited to go to the Dallas Stars game with our good friends, The Richmonds! They live across the street and have a little boy..Aiden..who turned 3 yrs old on Dec. 28th. The kids love playing together. I wasn't sure how well our kids would do at a game but, they had a blast and were on their very best behavior!

Hannah and Jake our doing great! Hannah has started to learn how to read at school. She brings home a new book each week, we work on it, and then return it to school the following week! She is really doing well. Her first book was with all of the "at" words. Mat sat, Sam sat, Cat sat...you get the idea! Jake is counting to eleven all by himself. He does not like to play the game...count to ten or what color is this but, if it's his idea...he does great! He just says....listen to me, I know my numbers! Or, Daddy's cars are red and Mommy's is white! Such a complete difference between him and Hannah! Hannah likes to be quizzed but, Jake doesn't! So funny!!

Brent just got back yesterday from being in Florida for the past 9 days!!! It was a long week! Last night we took the kids to Shogun here in Mckinney for some yummy Hibachi and sushi!! Sushi for Brent and I...Hibachi for the kids!! The last time we took them to a place like this, it scared them with the fire and all. Last night they really got into it! They shocked us with how good they are at using chopsticks! Today Brent went dove hunting on my parents property. Jake was not thrilled about being left here. He told Daddy that he wanted to going shooting too!! Maybe several more year buddy!!! Such a little Brent...has to do everything that daddy does!! Jake's favorite phrase..."I do like Daddy do's" not does...do's!!! So stinking cute!!

Enjoy the pics!!
