Long overdue iPhone photo dump!!

here we go...

We went to Gatlinburg a few weekends ago {Thanks to Kasey & Josh for the invite}.  The kids had a blast. We were only there for about 48 hours so we only had time to sleep, eat, and visit Ripley's Aquarium...but a great time nonetheless!  For the record, there were 8 adults & 6 kids...and we survived!

The kids on Valentine's Day {before school}...I love the way Carter is looking at Chloe // the kids V-Day treats {Chloe's says "of all the PEEPS in the world, I'm so glad you are one of MINE"} // Chloe at her V-Day Party at school {glad I was able to attend & help} // last photo...Chloe practicing her Banana Split Math

I tried dry shampoo & I kind of liked it {above is 2nd day curly hair} // texts from my Dad when he had Carter on President's Day {he was glad he survived} // Chloe & I cooking after school one day // Chloe practicing piano {Mary Had a Little Lamb}

A quote a friend posted that was much needed on this particular day // Chloe being teacher to Blake & I {we had to pick out what was wrong with each sentence} // My newest DIY projects...The "C" is for the kids bathroom & the "J" is in our bathroom // Chloe got a new Build-A-Bear named Tommy; he's a German Shepard

Carter playing with my hot pink sunglasses {sweet boy} // The kids LOVE the movie The Sandlot so Blake wanted to get them each a baseball bat so they could play.  We headed to Don & Sandy's house to try to get some outside time in...it was a bit cold, but the kids didn't care.  Thanks to Jenks {Don} for being our pitcher!

It's Read Across America Week, so in honor of that, I made Cat in the Hat Cupcakes.  I read that book to Chloe's class yesterday // Carter was being a helper...eating the gummy life savers :) // I told Chloe that Blake's birthday is coming up, she wanted to make him a 'goodie'...this is what she wrote "I love you so much. And the rest of the family loves yo too. From Chloe" PRECIOUS!! // My best friend, Brittnye, just ran in the Princess 1/2 Marathon in Disney World...I made a pink and white tutu for her and her buddy, Nicole!

and...the photo dump is over!!
