Our week!

Thankful for my little helper! She has been great at reading to Hayley and she is turning into the BEST DISH WASHER EVER!!!!! I love you, IVY!

Daddy had a really LONG week last week! He was in class every day 8-8. God was so kind to help mommy! The girls were great. Thankful!!!

 

 

Hayley at CC. She is showing us her Mountain picture. (We are studying the Western Mountains of the USA!)

The IPad was so helpful when we had to wait at office depot for an hour to fax some papers!

Tracing her letters!

We went to Legos and Minifigs for Jake's birthday party! 

Hayley and Ada! TROUBLE!!!!

Hope and Ivy

We finally got the princess tent from Papaw! (The one we got at Christmas was broken when we opened it)
 

Special Day!

December 19th is a very special day for our family! It's Hayley's Adoption Day. It's the day we got the offical adoption papers! We LOVE to celebrate this day. God is so good and we give Him Praise for Hayley Beth Stewart! This year we celebrated on three different days. We celebrated in KY with a sprinkle cookie (daddy had a class). We celebrated with our family. We had spaghetti, a Max and Ruby Cake and a new princess dress. We also celebrated by taking a trip to the bouncy house!

 

Hayley loves spaghetti.

The Max and Ruby Cake

2015 has begun!

Ivy trying kale chips for the first time. Hayley wasn't so sure at first but now she loves them!

 We started the Whole30 on January 1. (Thanks Ellen!) It has been so GOOD for us! It's been interesting and hard work but Brent and I both feel so much better!

Ivy has been a huge helper! She now washes the dishes at night and does many other things to help around the house! Praise God!

Daddy teaching Ivy to wash the teaches!

The girls like to dance and act goofy!

Random Holiday Pics

We are so thankful for Aunt Sharon

We had our annual "Christmas Dress-up" party at Nana's. This is one of my favorite parts of the holidays. We read the Christmas story and dress up in costumes. I was a donkey this year, Memaw and Sharon were angels.

Not sure about the expressions on Mary and Joseph

Christmas Eve Service:

 

 I just love this picture of Hayley holding and looking at her candle at the Christmas Eve Service.

Christmas at Nana and Paws!

A Frozen dress!

We are so thankful for our Paw and that God has healed him!

Aunt Alicia made the girls sleeping bags! (We are using them a lot right now in KY. It was zero when daddy woke up this morning!)

Ivy got Trent some deer decorations for his room!

Hayley and Trent love to play together!

Christmas with Memaw and Papaw!

Papaw got new fishing gear!

A play microwave

Aunt Sharon! Poor aunt Sharon. She spent Christmas Eve in the emergency room with a reaction to a cough medicine but she was still up early on Christmas day to LOAD the girls down with presents! (We are so enjoying the IPAD...at first I thought that we would never use it but it is such a good gift to help with school. Ivy has been using it alot to do her flashcards on and Hayley uses it to do a learning phonics game! Thanks Aunt Sharon for keeping us up to date on technology...can you come put some more learning games on it? I haven't figured it out yet!)

A new princess gown!

That's my Papaw!

 

Hayley said, "Papaw, listen! I am reading to you!" (She was reading the instruction manual for one of her toys!)

Christmas laughing and hugs and lot of LOVE!

My sweet husband!  I Love him so!!
