Santa and then some...

They had so much fun playing with these blue hats at a friend's house. Cohen put that hat on without hesitation and wore it most of the two hours we were there. He even picked up the broom and turned into the perfect house guest.


Cohen's third haircut. He sat the entire time with no squirming or fussing. So proud of him.





Santa!! He actually liked hugging him but just not for as long as I made him hold that hug so I could get my phone out.

Catching up

Some pictures from the last month.

We have too much fun with a blow dryer.


We had fall pictures taken and will hopefully have those up shorty. This is Cohen striking a pose.





She made pumpkin cookies for her class. That was fun!


Lazy Sunday afternoon nap time.


Christmas tree hunt. They had so much fun running amongst the trees.





The finished product. Only about 4 broken ornaments so far.

Random happenings.

We love us some Jason's Deli ice cream. Addison has done well mastering the cone. She is however the SLOWEST ice cream licker EVER!


We had a party in Asheville and Cohen wanted to play on the corn hole game. That made it really hard to play without docking our child. He was just mad he had to get off.


Mommy love!


This really is a stretch for my creativity but we had fun walking around the neighborhood gathering leaves to make our own tree. Cohen didn't understand we were only picking up the pretty ones. He gave me a lot of leaf trash.


Cohen's costume that Addison likes to play in. I want to find a banana one for her.

Sigmon family reunion

We went to Bryson city, NC for our annual family reunion. It was so wonderful to be around such loving and giving people. I receive so much joy watching others love on my children and seeing our children's faces light up when being around them. It was the perfect weather, a little chill in the morning and evening but warmed up in the middle of the day. We went on a small hike with the kids and they loved it. I am so thankful that our family is creating so many wonderful memories each year as we gather together. I love you Sigmon family!!

Tough times and sweet moments.

This age with both kids is an incredibly tough age for us right now! So exhausting fighting the same battles every day and feeling so defeated at the end of the day. I have found myself having no where else to go but the Word of God which is not a bad pace to go. I don't know why it takes me so long to get there sometimes but when I go to the source of all strength and wisdom I find it in abundance. It's never lacking! Praise you Lord for not holding grudges against my inconsistent communication! He always refreshes and replenishes weary souls!

So amidst these trying times with our children are bunches of sweet moments. They give me hope for a brighter tomorrow :) Here is just a couple.

My two babies!

At preschool this week they are focusing on the letter O. On Wednesday they had to wear orange. Cohen got in the spirit as well. They are so cute and so big!! Where did time go!?!?


You can see why I have to pinch and kiss on those chubby cheeks all day long!

Baths,bubbles, and more.

We have been staying fairly busy with Addison in preschool and Ryan at HIS office. We do always manage to have time for bubbles and baths! They LOVE bubbles and bath...not together.

Addison is teaching Cohen how to blow bubbles but he still finds it tastier to put it in his mouth. Tastes so gross! I don't know how he stands it?!?!






I think their favorite part about the bath is running around naked after with a towel on their heads.



We got wireless headphones for the car! Yay! Now they can watch a movie and we can listen to music at the same time!
