Charleston for Remley's Birthday

Jason, Brighton, Lacey, Jameson and I went to Charleston to visit the Johnson's and for Remley's 4th birthday. She and Jameson are a week apart in age. The birthday party had a Hello Kitty theme. It was all very cute. We stayed for the weekend and enjoyed some adult time after the kiddies went to bed as well. It was very nice to carch up with Shayna, David, Remley and Rhett, and to add little Brighton to the mix!

Dallas

So, over the weekend we moved. Since this whole house on the market/selling thing happened so fast, our heads were spinning. We decided the best thing for us to do right now is move in with my parents. If they get sick of us we will rent something but we really didn't even have time to look for a rental as this has all happened so fast. Their house has a lower level with a nice room and bathroom for Jason and I and Poppi is sharing his office/gym with Brighton.

I recently watched a marathon of the show Dallas. I used to watch it with my mom when I was little, but it never occurred to me how strange it was that the grown sons had wives and children of their own, but continued to live at Southfork with their parents! All in the same house. Well, we are trying it out. Just as my sister and her family did a few years ago. No wonder Lynn Biter calls my parent's house "SouthFork"!

We had a rough weekend of moving. Moving is hard. I just kept wondering how Jason and I have accumulated so much junk in only 6 years??? We both made vows to not be hoarders in our new home. Is that even possible? I don't think anyone realizes how much crap they have until they move.

We are closing on our former home on Friday and if the closing goes smoothly we are headed to Charleston for Remley's birthday party.

Happy Homeless New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! 2011 is bringing many changes for us. Jason and I have had a property in Denver, NC (Lake Norman) for a while and we have decided the time is right to build on it. Soooooo, we put our home on the market 2 weeks ago. This market is tough so we thought it would take a while. We showed the house on Christmas Eve and had an offer the day after Christmas. The 1st showing! We are still not believeing it. We are closing on Jan. 21st. I've been busy packing and it is over whelming. This year will be both challenging and exciting. Staying with family and in tight places at times, and the stress of building, but at the same time it is going to be one of the most exciting things that we have ever done together. We are breaking ground on Feb. 1st. The Flowes are Lake Norman bound!

4 Christmases

Christmas came. Santa came to drop off some goodies for little B. Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful Christmas with our little man. It was so much fun and we look forward to all of the rest of them. We are blessed to have so many aunts, uncles, and grandparents who love us, and Brighton!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

Christmas with the Flowe's

ON Christmas Eve Connie, Max, and Kelly and Craig came over. We had a wonderful time together. Sorry that I do not have to many pictures, they turned out dark. Welcome to the family Kelly!

Christmas with the Helm's and Currence's

On Christmas Eve we went to Fort Mill and attended a breakfast for Rachel's Uncle Doolie. It is his annual birthday breakfast get together. Then we went to see Jason's Maw Maw and Paw Paw. Had a nice visit with them.

On Christmas morning Brighton got up and saw what Santa had brought him. Wow between that and the grandparents' gifts he has soooo many toys now! Rachel and Donnie came over late that morning and did our Christmas. Then after we played and hung out for a while they left to go to the beach.

Christmas 2010 With the Baygents/Antleys

Christmas night was spent at my parents. Lacey, Mickey, Jameson and Michael came. Michael was still very tiny looking to me. So sweet! The kids had a great time and played with all of their new toys, then went to bed to let the grown ups open up all of their toys. We all watched the snow!

Here is a new picture of Michael. I cannot wait to see her again, and see how she has grown and changed.

As far as a Brighton update he has started scooting instead of rolling. It is sort of like crawling without using his knees! He also has his 1st tooth.

One Week Until Christmas!!

One week to go before Christmas is here!! We have been busy. We went out to a nice dinner with Erin and Dave last weekend. This weekend we had Jameson for a night. Jason took her back to the Billy Graham Library live nativity scene and carriage ride for the 2nd year in a row.

Happy Christmas!!!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

We have been getting ready for Christmas. We put up our tree and decorated the house.
Almost finished shopping and wrapping! We took Brighton to see Santa for the 1st time. He did pretty good and it was so much fun! I love how we are forming our traditions!

Rock N Roll

Brighton refuses to crawl. He has instead, started rolling. If he wants to get somewhere, he will roll across the room until he gets to his desired destination. It is kind of entertaining.He also loves to bang on his drum and piano!

Just a couple more from last weekend. Our group shot which has not 1, but 2 new additions to it this year! Also one of sweet little Michael in her bed.
