BUSTED!

We went to Callaway Gardens with Eric's family a few weeks ago - While I was playing Hide & Seek with the other children, Molly & Will (my nephew) decided to get an early start on the cooler! I just had to take a picture : )

HAPPY EASTER!

Hope you all had a Happy Easter .... ours was happy indeed, but pretty low-key. This was probably the first Easter we have spent without any extended family. Easter is such a busy weekend for Eric (with work) and I did not feel like traveling to SC by myself with all three children - SO needless to say the 5 of us just hung out here. We did miss seeing family - but we had fun. We got some good ol' KFC after church - it was delicious!

So I bought these Easter dresses for the girls and had sweet little white shoes for them to wear that just completed their Easter outfits. Well - Kate had a better idea and wanted to wear her "pink sparkly cindarella shoes". I have learned to pick my battles and this was not one of them. I will have to say....... she recieved dozens of compliments at church - she was so proud! : )
I had to quickly take this picture of the pretty eggs we decorated this afternoon because about 5 seconds after this was taken - the eggs were cracked, broken and demolished. Adam & Kate decided they wanted to eat them!
Easter 2008

Snow Bunnies!!

Well - about a month ago we went out west to visit my sister (Mary Catherine) in Aspen. She is working out there as a ski instructor so Eric and I thought this would be a great time to introduce Adam & Kate to Skiing. The whole Norman clan went except for little Molly and Walker ( Warren & Chrissi's youngest son). Molly stayed with her great-grandmother "Mimi" and had fun spending some time with her. It snowed just about every day in Aspen - so we were skiing in powder - it was great! We put Adam, Kate & Ren (warren's oldest son) in ski school for a couple of days so they could learn how to ski. They did so good and had a great time. Adam especially loved it - I think because he is a little older - he really took to the whole idea of skiing. Ren & Kate liked it but were ready for a nap come lunch time!

Here is Adam in the Igloo that Uncle Wa-Wa built for the kids right outside our condo!

Eric & Kate after a long morning on the bunny slope :)
Adam & Ren helped build this monster snowman - they were so proud!
This is MC, Warren, Eric and Jon (Anne is expecting, so she could not ski) Gagi & Boppie would keep the children so we could go ski for a couple hours in the afternoon and we would always stop at the village on our last run to have a couple rounds of our new favorite Beer - a good ol' FAT TIRE! It is a beer that you can only get out west (or at least that is what they told us) anyway..... we loved it, so I just had to take a picture! Cheers!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Snow Day!

Okay - I am the world's worst at this blog thing, I know! Anyway- just thought I would post some pictures from Birmingham's Snow Storm 2008 that we had about a month ago. The news people were all over it - saying we were going to get at least 6 inches of snow - they were so excited and dressed to the nines in snow gear while airing this monster storm. Needless to say we got a little dusting of snow and it lasted a few hours. The children had so much fun - Adam even grabbed a random wooden tray off the coffee table and tried to go sledding - he did not get very far - but at least he tried, right? The other child in these pictures is my niece, Townsend - I have not had a 4th child!!!. Molly is not in the pictures because she was taking a nap and the snow was gone by the time she woke up. Enjoy!

Cheers!

Happy 2008! We had a wonderful Christmas and Santa was very good to the children. He brought Adam some Alabama football gear, Kate - a baby doll and pink guitar, Molly - well she got some recycled toys, diapers & wipes and of course was happy with that! Anyway - Happy New Year from our family to yours!

Christmas 2007

Christmas in Alabama!

Well, this is our first Christmas here in Birmingham and things are going well. The children have enjoyed decorating the tree and it has only fallen twice. The front of our house is all lit up and the "Santa on a Harley" blow-up is in full effect. Here are a few pictures of Adam, Kate & Molly.
