Gigi


While we were in Little Rock we stayed at Gigi's new house. Thanks Gigi for a great weekend!

Pop's Birthday







Saturday after Jordan's game we met Dukes, Nana, and Pop for lunch in NLR. We were celebrating Pop's 81st Birthday. We were so glad that Pop was feeling up to meeting us for lunch. He started a new chemo this past Monday and has been pretty sick. We are continuing to pray that he is able to be as comfortable as possible. We love you so much Pop!! Happy Birthday!!



Jordan's Basketball Game




This weekend we headed to Little Rock. On Saturday we went to see Jordan play his basketball game. He did a great job! We even saw him make a basket!!

Ice Storm

We did survive the ice storm this week. It started raining/icing on Monday. By Tuesday afternoon we lost power. Fortunately Brent has 4 wheel drive on his new truck, so we were able to get out. We drove around looking at all the trees that had fallen. We were lucky our neighborhood is new so we didn't have to worry about nice big trees falling on our house. So Tuesday night we slept in the living room on our mattress in front of the gas logs. Olivia Grace thought this was so much fun. In the mean time, Brent had to leave Tuesday night in the middle of the storm to go and help one of his partners family. Their basement was flooding, so he had to help. This is a picture of what he had to drive and walk through. Olivia Grace and I stayed down at the Young's until midnight. After sleeping in on Wednesday morning we ventured out again. The roads began melting but many businesses and homes still did not have power. By 2:00 Wednesday afternoon we had power again. We are VERY thankful we got power so quickly. We know many homes (Aunt Kristen/Uncle Allen included) still are without power!!

Happy Birthday Mimi


This past Friday Olivia Grace got to go to Aunt Amy and Uncle Shawn's to spend the night with the boys (Colton and Chandlan). This was a wonderful treat for OG and Mommy! Thanks Amy!! On Saturday afternoon Brent and I went down to Mansfield so we could have a "surprise" party for Mimi. She probably figured it out, but we had a nice party for her anyway. Happy Birthday Mimi!!!
