North Georgia Strongman Competition

On February 9th, Todd competed in his first Strongman Contest. He did amazing! He pulled the fire truck without the rope in 28 seconds, the fastest time in the contest!! It was so fun for us girls to be there to watch, I think he has found a new interest and plans to compete in many more! Enjoy the video I put together for him :)

Keeping in touch...

   Hoping to blog at least once or twice a week, I am realizing that this is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. Also to keep a "year book" of our families life! :)
   Well we have just signed three of our girls up for softball! Pretty exciting but busy season!! I will definitely post pictures from opening day on March 16th!

Here are a few pictures from the first day of school this year.

They are all getting so big!! Growing way too fast! Kylie will be 13 this year! Ahhh! We are definitely enjoying life with our five beautiful daughters!!!

Valentines Day

For Valentines day this year, Todd bought each of the girls a necklace, each with a different charm. Kylie's was a music note, Emme's was a heart locket, Ally's was a horse and Mikayla's was a pink sparkly heart. He bought Susanna a new skirt (her favorite thing to wear), we were afraid she would break the necklace. 

Always something with a Fox on it around here, since that is what Todd's name means :)

Emme made me roses, I told her I love the fire and ice roses. So thoughtful!

Kylie bought me silk flowers with a sweet note attached :)

They each made handmade cards for their dad, this one had a wood carving on it.

And always a bottle of hot sauce for Todd :)

Sweet card from Ally 

He put each of their gifts in a little mailbox, so cute

We ate a big breakfast and skipped lunch so to tied the girls over, I made a fun snack to eat until our early dinner

Todd made us yummy calzones!

So cute, he made them into heart shapes!

I made the girls these fun drinks, they loved them and have requested them for their birthdays!! 

It was such a fun day! :)
