The best of 2015

Just like last year, there was no way I could pick just one picture for each month and since I've been so slack on blogging lately, I thought the more the merrier!

January
Walker was finally a more content baby and was working hard at becoming mobile. He and Gray were really starting to interact and play with each other. This would be the first of many squeal-worthy pictures of my boys together.


Perhaps THE best picture in all of 2015 of our sweet Walker man.
February
We enjoyed a big snow storm which made for days off for Daddy, lots of play time outside and projects around the house.


Walker on the left, Gray on the right. Where did my chunky snow babies go?!
March
We were still celebrating Daddy's team's first State Championship and being ranked NINTH in the nation! The team was presented another trophy and their State Championship rings had finally come in.



April
This month was busy with a trip to Sneads Ferry/Wilmington and Easter. We were loving the warmer temps too.






May
May and June are insane around our parts. We celebrated Mother's Day, Daddy's 35th birthday and Walker's first birthday.


June
We celebrated my 34th birthday, had a joint birthday party for the boys, Gray's third birthday, my brother got married, Father's Day and six years of marital bliss!
The boy that made me a mama. I am so in love with him!

Big time score for my brother and our family-we love Caroline!




July
Gray got potty trained and did amazingly well. He still hasn't had an accident and sleeps all night in big boy underwear too. The whole training was such a more pleasant experience than we thought it would be!
We didn't only reward with food-he got a big rig truck too ;)
4th of July cuties.
August
Gray started preschool and loved it from the very beginning!

September
We spent Labor Day at the beach with my family and another soccer season was in full swing. Gray played on his first "real" soccer team and Daddy was the coach!



October
Yay for fall which meant pumpkin patches, Dixie Classic Fair, chili parties, chicken stews and soccer games!



November
Paul's soccer team won the Conference Championship for the second year in a row! Unfortunately they lost in the first round of the play offs but they had a lot of things to be proud of. Also, this meant we got to see a lot more of Daddy. We kept the tradition of going to Boone for Thanksgiving, which is guaranteed to be ALL THE FUN!

Enjoying a warm November morning with Walker while brother was at preschool.

Reading books with their superhero. 


December
I used to think Christmastime was the best when I was a child. Now I know it's the best being a Mama and getting to experience it through the eyes of our boys. We do a very scaled down version of Santa, but there is still plenty of magic going on and most importantly, celebrating the birth of our Savior,Who is the reason for our joy and many blessings. Also, two weeks with Daddy off was icing on the cake!




2015 will be hard to top but I'm excited about what God has in store for our family this year.

"Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift(s)." -2 Corinthians 9:15
