Experiences over things

Each year our family follows a 4 gift rule of want, wear, need, read at Christmas.

And the kids + Jason had a BLAST. Z and I were spectators on the sideline. They spent hours going down 4 different slides and loved every minute of it.

2.  Ty was pretty excited a few weeks ago to go to his first UT football game.  And by excited, I meen e.x.c.i.t.e.d!  I bought him a little disposable camera to put in his pocket.  I can only imagine what is on it….when I asked he said he took photos of his food, the 54 oz drink his dad […]

so many things i want to remember….ok, a few I don’t want to remember like Teagan cutting his first tooth, everyone being really sick, ear infections…..but I digress…
