Happy Valentine's Day!

Waiting out the tornado warning

 

 

My favorite girl

 

Brother Bedheads

Jaz's friend, Cheslee ... or Easton's?!?!

Easton LOVES all of Jazmyne's friends ... And they all LOVE him. Whenever they comes over, Easton thinks it's playtime and loves to hang out with the girls.  He also love to practice their cheers and stunts with them.

SUPER E!

 

 

 

 

{Jaz + Chloe}

I spent the day with Jazmyne and her friend, Chloe.  We went out to lunch, saw a movie, and grabbed some dessert.  I'm really enjoying these days with Jazmyne and her friends. Once they start driving, I'm sure hanging out with mom won't be as cool anymore ;-)

Special Treatment

When you're sick in the Foley house, you get special treatment.  Like a fresh fruit smoothie & waffles in bed, all while playing a game on the iPad and watching tv. 

{Easton + Cheslee}

One of the reasons that Easton

likes to go to Jazmyne's games

is because of all of the attention

that he receives from the girls!

Dessert Time

Dinner with the trio

LOVE these 3!

Happy New Year! {2013}

New Year's Eve {2012}

 

Easton and I spent New Year's Eve at the doctor's office while Jaz and Parker waited at home, and Daddy worked. We've definitely had better NYE's. Although Easton has bronchitis and 

was having a hard time breathing, he remained in good spirits.  He truly is such a happy little guy. He reminds us to look at the bright side of things and to count our blessings!

 

Later on, after we got back home, Jaz went out ...

Parker went to bed, and Easton stayed up for breathing treatments ... and to party with mom!

Life has been B.U.S.Y.

And here it is, Christmas time, ALREADY!!

I started this blog as a way to document my children's lives.  At the end of each year, I have it printed and bound into a hardcover book, similar to a yearbook.  It's so important to me to capture the kids' milestones and our lives in pictures.  With a crazy schedule and 3 kids, it's so easy to forget the little details of our lives that I want to make sure to always remember. I want the kids to be able to look back at these albums when they are older and reminisce over our time together as a family and to see just how they have grown over the years.  I do plan to continue this blog, it  may just take me longer than I'd like to go back and catch up.  I have thousands of pictures from this year and so much to catch up on.  It has definitely been an eventful year! Technology these days has made it so easy and convenient to capture pictures and videos in an instant. I love that I can keep my iPhone in my pocket and pull it out in and instant to capture a special moment. Finding the time to organize them and post here is a different story ;-) HA! Feel free to check in from time to time to see how much the kids have grown and to read about what they have been up to.  As I play catch up, posts will be in chronological order and may be scattered to accommodate the correct date. From our family to yours, have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Summer

We are back from our Summer vacation at the beach.
We had such an amazing time!

There is SO much to catch up on ...

I am 3 months behind (yikes) and hope to be able to post some pictures and updates soon.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Summer!

Prom Fashion Show

Jazmyne modeled a prom dress for the prom teen fashion show at Dillards this afternoon. 

This mama isn't ready to think about prom ... high school is hard enough! 

She sure did rock the runway though and I'm SO very proud of her!

She had her makeup done professionally, by a MAC consultant, courtesy of Dillards!

These pictures don't do the dress color any justice, it was beautiful!

Introducing Jazmyne ...

 After the fashion show, the girls were asked to walk around the mall and hand out fliers for Dillards.  Evan had fun teasing Jazmyne ....

 Modeling is hard work!  I caught Jaz snoozing on the sofa afterwards.  She is not a big nap person, so I knew she was worn out when I saw her like this ...
