February 2015- Catching Up

Hey guys!! I am really mad at myself for not doing a better job posting on here. I want to be able to express my feelings, but I also want to be able to look back at a small time line of my children being young!! (insert teardrop...) Time seriously is moving at rapid speed and they are growing up so quickly.

Here is just a little catch up from our lives in February!! This is a favorite month of mine, not only because it's my birthday month but also valentines day!! A lot of people dislike v-day, but I "heart" it lol. Pun intended.  I'm a hopeless romantic and love all things sappy.

FUN FACT: Me and Abraham Lincoln share a birthday- February 12, I also live about 5 minutes from his birthplace.

 We started February off with a trip to Bowling Green to WKU to see this pretty Lady Hilltopper play!! <Ivy Brown>  She's my sister-in-laws younger sister so we had a great time supporting the TOPS! GO IVY!!!

On my birthday we made the 7 hour trip to Georgia to visit my sister Kimmy and her fam!! I took the boys because I didn't want to pull Kinlee out of school for two days and we left on a Thursday morning.  They boys did AMAZING in the car and my other sister Kayla rode down with me!!

We hung out at the house and then found the cutest little plaza with a great little frozen yogurt shop. The weather was 65 degrees and beautiful!!! 

 This was my face because this is the first valentines day in almost 10 years that I didn't get to spend it with Josh. He took Kinlee on a VERY sweet valentine date-she was so excited

When we drove home from Georgia on Sunday, we were welcomed by a big snow storm headed our way. We didn't know it at the time, but that snow storm would allow the kids to be out of school ALL week. We got about 14 inches total and for the first 3 days we had the best snuggle time. 

-insert: cabin fever-

Below are the random activities we did while being snowed in!

FORT!!!! 

Kinlee loves to get dressed up, play in makeup, do nails etc. so it's no surprise when it was her turn to chose the activity she chose a photo shoot. 

We got nerdy!!! We read a LOT!  I just started a study on the book of Romans and am working through a study book that goes along with it. It's deep, intense, and sometimes tough- but I love learning more, growing and gaining a real sense of "urgency" for the lost- just like Paul did in his letters to the people of Rome. Praying I can have half of his faith and heart.

Finally, we were able to get out of the house to watch the UK game with some great friends!!! 

I'm sooooo not a leather wearing "hard core" type girl....but I'm really loving this one every so often!! Not going to lie I feel like I should be on a harley!

Kim and the boys drove up this week and we couldn't be more excited to see them!!!

I'm excited for what I have up my sleeve for the end of February!! Below is a sneak peak....stay tuned to see what this means........

GOD BLESS,

Em
