She had quite the cheering crowd there: Yia Yia, Papa J, Babi, Papa R, Aunt Katie, Parker, Aunt Bekah, Uncle Nathan & Issac was there to cheer her on! Little Miss Priss!

Sarah's 5th Birthday

I know....2 months later, I am finally posting Sarah's birthday. It's been crazy in the Ross house. We decided to have a big party at the house this year complete with bounce house galore- The kids loved it. Karl set it up that morning, and Sarah was still jumping at 7 pm that night. Karl & I even got in on the action. We were hurting the next morning. Here are a few pics from the great day!

Sarah wanted a Mickey Mouse theme party. My good friend from work made her cake- It turned out awesome!

I am in shock she has turned "5". I have just signed her up for kindergarten this past week. Time flys by so quickly. We are just trying to freeze this time- and enjoy every minute of it. Love to you all-

Camping out in the Backyard

Sarah got a tent and sleeping bag this year from Santa Claus. We have been waiting for warm weather for her & Karl to have a camp-out. This past weekend was great weather-

Below are some cute pictures-

At the end of the night, Sarah did awesome! She slept in the tent the whole night and woke up at 6:30 am. I was very surprised!

Christmas 2010

Wow! It's been a busy few days.

We have been enjoying the last few days with lots of famiy & friends celebrating Christmas. We started off Christmas Eve, going to our church at 5pm for the Christmas Eve service. After church we went over to Tony & Barbara's(a.k.a. Pop & Grammy) for a wonderful dinner. It was extra fun this year becuase Bill & Carol and their little girl Hayley was here from South Carolina! We enjoyed making Gingerbread houses, singing "Happy Birthday to Jesus", getting our christmas pajamas on, and opening presents. Below are a few pics from Christmas Eve-

All of the kids in their matching PJ's-
Christmas morning, we left to go to Gainesville. We had a great time playing with our cousins:Esther, Luke, Ellie, & Issac. Below are a few pics of the day.
We finally did get all the kids for a picture- not too bad-

All of the stockings were hung...and a day is not complete, without a picture with our Babi!

We had a wonderful Christmas, spending time with lots of family. I still have more pictures to post of the rest of the week. We are going back to Gainesville, to see more of Karl's family then going to the zoo the end of the week! I'll post more pictures later!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

This month is flying by....

Just wanted to share a few pictures from Sarah's Christmas program at school. She is such a social butterfly and loves being on stage(not like her Momma & Daddy)

I am realizing my little girl is growing up. It was sort of sad today- today was the last Christmas program she will have at the Learning Tree- next year she will be in kindergarten. Wow! How times flys by so quickly. My baby is growing up into a sweet, caring little girl. Wanting to give away her toys to girls & boys that don't have anything, wanting to drop money into the Salvation Army Kettle, and wanting to give hugs & kisses to Mamma & Daddy.

We are looking forward to next week & celebrating Christmas with lots of family! We will be in Jacksonville till Christmas morning- then off to Gainesville to be with Karl's family. All of Karl's brothers & sisters are going to be in town. It will be a blast celebrating with everyone especially since there is 2 more babies to add to the family- Ellie & Issac!

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! I will post more pictures in a few days. Santa is coming to our house a little early- to drop off a BIG surprise for Sarah!

Love-

It's Busy around here!

Am I the only one, that is in shock that Thanksgiving is next week! I also just realized I never posted pictures from Sarah's halloween party at school and also some family fun!

Sarah had a parade at school- she was the cutiest kitty cat there! Sarah with one of her buddies!

Later on that day, we went to a Family Fall Fun Night at church. We are so blessed to be part of such a wonderful church family. We had a great dinner, put together and made our own scarecrow, and had praise & worship. Wanted you all to meet the newest member of the Ross family "Gator".

I am so blessed and thankful for such a wonderful family. Check back to see more pics from Thanksgiving!

Love to you all-Jenny

Conner's Amazing Acres

This past weekend, Sarah went to a birthday party for one of her friends at school. It was out in Callahan. It was a long drive, but worth it! We had a blast. Here are a few pictures: Sarah played on the bails of hay, rode the cow train, and found a tractor to take for a spin.

Cow train- notice how dirty she was:

When we got home I was finding hay in her hair, corn in her shoes, and other places!

I love this time of the year. I am finishing up decorating at the house. When I finish, I'll post our pictures of our scarecrows & pumpkins.
