Happy 7th Birthday JohnMark!

March 19, 2011 By Julia Leave a Comment


Last night Jessica, Mark, JohnMark, Julianna Marie, Johnna Katherine, and Jenna Leigh arrived! There is nothing we enjoy more than cousin time!

Next week is JohnMark’s 7th birthday and so we thought we would celebrate!

This is first thing in the morning.
I told them all to get on the couch and I would bring them their breakfast. (it is amazing how they well they obey when food is involved!)

(left to right) Johnna Katherine, JohnMark, Nixon, Julianna, Isla, Hadley, & Roman (Hadley is our favorite neighbor and Jenna Leigh is missing)

After breakfast we loaded up and went to Monkey Joes!

Isla and Johnna Katherine stuck together most of the day!

JohnMark and Nix

The younger kids loved the kiddie area!

Roman’s favorite thing to do was to ride on the Dinosaur!

Until Hadley would knock him off! (j/k Nicole) 🙂

Julianna, Nixon, and JohnMark posing for a picture!
(JohnMark posed the whole day to make sure Jessica had enough to make him a B-day Book!)

Roman checking on his buddy Jenna Leigh. She slept most of the morning.

She did wake up to have her turn on the dinosaur!

Jenna Leigh and Jessica

I decided to join the kids a few times!

Nixon took Roman for a ride down the slide!

Roman had no fear!
He wanted to do everything all the big kids were doing!

The matching outfits were compliments of Aunt Jessi!
They did make it easier for us to keep up with the kids!

Serious Pose!

Funny Face!

After Monkey Joes we all went to Burger King to continue JohnMark’s celebration!

Isla and Johnna Katherine enjoyed chicken nuggets and apples!

Not sure what is going on here????

Roman took a short nap in the car but of course woke up for the food!

Johnna Katherine being as cute as always!

After Burger King kids napped and played outside. That evening we had cake, ice-cream, and opened presents!
JohnMark wanted a Lego themed party!

We surprised JohnMark with decorations when they arrived last night.
Jared made a quick trip to the Dollar Store while Nixon and Isla were busy coloring!


Mark built a few things out of Legos to put on JohnMark’s cake!

We sang Happy Birthday to JohnMark!

Everyone dug in!

Again I had to wake Roman up to eat! But I knew he would not want to miss cake!

Isla fell out of the chair. (she is bit of a drama queen)

Jenna Leigh enjoyed the party!

Jared made it home to celebrate too!

Me and Jessica

Time to open up presents!

Nixon picked out JohnMark her own special gift!
A rubber snake, spider, and something else???
I think he liked them!

JohnMark was so kind and wanted all the girls to help him open up his presents!

We got him some kind of Ninja Lego set.

Apparently by his reaction and thank you’s he really likes it!

JohnMark even bought Roman his very 1st set of Legos!
He really likes them!
Jared and Roman playing together!

We all really enjoyed being with the family!

Not only did we celebrate JohnMark’s birthday,
today was also Mark and Jessica’s 11th wedding anniversary!

She made this cute card for Mark.
And we kept all the kids while they went out to dinner!

It has been a long day and I am tired but smiles like this make it all worthwhile 🙂

Ballet and Ice Cream!

March 15, 2011 By Julia Leave a Comment

I have been wanting to have “Family Night” each week.
We have been so busy and something always seems to come up to cancel my plans.
Tonight was no exception, Nixon had ballet and Jared had a Sunday School meeting.
But tonight was our first family night on accident! 🙂
I took the girls to ballet and then Jared and Roman met us and went to Brewster’s for ice cream!
(kids 40″ or shorter get free ice cream!)

Roman really liked his ice cream!
He liked mine too!
Jared and the girls enjoyed their ice cream!
Apparently something was very funny. The girls were playing one of their “made up” games. Something about bird? 🙂
The BIG event of the night was the premier of the new Dora Ballet Movie!
The girls were of course ecstatic to finally see it! And Roman danced to the music the entire movie!

Hopefully this will be the beginning of fun weekly
memory-making family time for years to come!

“Model Girls”

March 11, 2011 By Julia 3 Comments

The Girls LOVE anything Barbie!
They love watching “Barbie Fashion Fairytale”
I must admit compared to most children’s movies it is pretty entertaining.

Monday night Nixon announced she and Isla were going to be “model girls” 🙂

Here are a few shots from the fashion show!
As you can see Nixon accessorized all by herself!

We had spaghetti that night for dinner (Jared and I were actually finishing our dinner as they put on the show)
You can see evidence all over their faces and Isla’s shirt!

Isla giving me her excited face!


Sad face! 🙂


Happy!


Best Friends!


Roman enjoyed the fashion show for other reasons!

Cartee’s on Camera!

March 4, 2011 By Julia 2 Comments

Today we went to The Waters to have our last session of Roman’s baby package. I don’t think Roman smiled for even one picture!
Photo shoots are exhausting! But I am confident that we will have more than enough to choose from! (we always do w/ Kim Box and Josh)

Posted are pictures we took back in November for the Christmas cards that were never sent out! (my apologies to all!)

We have been blessed with wonderful neighbors and Nicole just happens to be a great photographer! (and exchanges babysitting for pictures)

There is definitely nothing more chaotic than trying to take pictures of three kids under 4!!!!




We actually got a picture with everyone looking and smiling! This was our first or second picture of the day!
(we should have probably stopped while we were ahead!)


Daddy Sandwich!

The Boys!



The Girls!

We tried taking another family picture!

I really wanted a picture of us all walking and holding hands. (Isla of course wanted to chew on her other hand the whole time 🙂

Roman got tired of walking ! 🙂

Nixon and Isla

Isla 2 1/2


Nixon one month before her 4th birthday!

Roman one month before his 1st birthday!

The girls wanted to run around and play the entire time!


Roman needed a little help on the bridge!





A few of my favorites!



I loved the swing but someone different was looking and smiling in every picture!




Finally one where no one is looking! 🙂




We actually went back a second day so that we could try to get a few good pics of Roman and the 3 kids together.




Roman cooperated pretty good!



Isla…not so much!


Roman says “I’m out of here!”

Nixon decided to end the morning with “silly face”! (of course this is when Isla decides to stop pouting!) 🙂

All together we got some great pictures! And they were free! 🙂 Next year I WILL have Christmas cards!

Jared’s 29th Birthday!

March 2, 2011 By Julia Leave a Comment

February 11th we celebrated Jared’s 29th Birthday!
Jared received the best birthday gift EVER! (his words) A 6-foot beanbag chair!! I am not sure how I do not have any pictures to share?
The girls insisted we get Jared a birthday cake!
Snicker’s Ice-cream cake from Publix!
Nixon Grace helped blow out the candles!
Jared served the cake!
The cake was DELICIOUS!

Even Roman enjoyed a few bites!



Jared and I got to go out for date night!
A wonderful dinner and a HORRIBLE first 45 minutes of a movie! 🙂
