Basketball Season 2011

Jackson has had such a blast doing Basketball this season. Its been his first ever time playing basketball and he has not only learned so much and improved immensly, but I don't think I ever so that wonderful SMILE leave his face!!!!! Gosh that warms my momma's heart, when they find something that makes them giddy, something that makes them excited, and smiley, and look forward to practicing and playing.

His Daddy put up a goal on the wall in our garage ( the only flat surface we have) and he has had a good time with that too!!!!!

Here are a few pics from the season!

This next one is my fav--- he is Jack Jack after all. As much as he loved it. He is not competitive, he was in it for the fun.... So here he is realizing PopPop has the camera!!!!

This is a pic I LOVE and just never posted. I don't think I ever posted anything from Halloween this fall.

So here it is.

SNOW DAY

The boys had a BLAST playing in the snow! They spent a lot of time sliding down the drive way on cookie sheets! I remember doing that when I was little and it snowed here!! Of course, for some reason no cookie sheet pics...

Caroline spent the weekend in Charleston with Maggie and Papap. When she got home on Sunday she made a little snow man on the back porch!!

Christmas in the Hospital Pictures

After opening a Santa present each and a good breakfast the kids all brought their stockings down to the hospital so I could be with them while they opened!!!!!

Later in the day my father and hubby drug lots more present all the way to my room so that i could continue to watch them open. We still have more to go, and I have to say overall my kids are taking it all in great stride. The balance of taking care of MOMMY and wanting so badly to open those presents they have been eying under the tree...I know its been hard on them. They are such troopers and I am so proud of them all.

SPRING BREAK AT MAGGIE'S

For the first half of Spring Break we took off to the beach, well to Maggie's to be exact. THE KIDS FAV VACA SPOT!!!! AND TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER THEY GOT TO HAVE A SLEEP OVER AT AUNTIE'S!!!! CHECK OUT THE PICS:::::
