Art Club



I think I may have an artist on my hands! Taylor has enjoyed art for years. Now she has the opportunity to really get involved in it. Her School has just started an art club. The art teacher requested that any interested student submit two drawings. Then she would select kids to be in the club with art potential. You guessed it!! Taylor got accepted and has her first meeting Monday after school.

**Above are the two drawings she submitted**

Fun at the Beach

I am running behind...I had hoped to get this blog done earlier in the week but it has been "one of those weeks".
Last weekend we went to Myrtle Beach and had a great time. We had a lot to celebrate! It was Valentines weekend and his Dad's 25th Wedding anniversary! Saturday all the guys got up and went fishing. They didn't catch any fish....but they did catch Sharks...four to be exact. The girls enjoyed hanging out on the pier watching them.





After that we just went and did some Outlet shopping...which of course was Jon's favorite. haha...Then for dinner we decided to take the girls to Nakotos. They had never been to a Japanese Steak house and we knew they would love the experience. Which they really did! It is now Taylor's "new favorite"


Finally on Sunday we went to the beach for a few hours. It was so cold and windy, I am expecting someone in my house to be sick this week!

Surprise!!!! Another Snow Day!



We went to bed last night expecting to wake up to a normal Wednesday...Instead we woke up to 3 inches of SNOW!!! The girls and I were pleasantly surprised! We already knew the best places to go sledding in the neighborhood. We were ready and had lots of fun! But just like most snow falls here in Charlotte.....by 3:00pm it had all melted and was a thing of the past!

The Greatest Show on Earth!

This past Friday the girls and I went to the Circus! We went with Christy and Zachary and had a blast! We decided to ride the light rail train since it would drop us off right outside the arena. The girls had never been on a train, so that was a fun new experience for them. At the Circus we were overwhelmed with all the souvenirs. Madison and Ashley decided on a light up princess crown. (who would have guessed princess crowns would be for sale at the circus) Once the Circus started the girls and Zachary watched with amazement. We saw lots of animals; Elephants, tigers, horses and to our surprise a porcupine!! The clowns put on a good show as well! We had a great time!
