Update on the Norton Family

I haven’t blogged in a while so I just wanted to do an update.  We have been busy here in the last few months.

In February, Kathryn had her Valentine’s Day party at school.

 

Then we all went out that night for a family Valentines date. 

Kathryn and Eli had a blast during Spring Break.  They are so creative! 

Kathryn went for a cleaning at the dentist and we found out that she was going to have to have some teeth pulled

 

Here is a picture of Ruby showing out.

 

Kathryn and I went on a field trip with her class to the Chattanooga Aquarium. 

Kathryn has her teeth pulled.  She is now snaggle tooth. 

We enjoy a warm weekend outside! 

Ruby gets her first haircut.  She hates the cape.  Guess we won’t be batgirl for Halloween.  

We went to see the Easter Bunny. 

Kathryn and Eli had Easter parties at school.

Check out what the bunny left at our house!

Hopefully the last cool day of Spring!

This has been our last few months!  Can't wait to blog some more later!!





Kathryn's 6th Birthday

For Kathryn's sixth birthday we had a small family get together to watch football and enjoy a little family time.  As you can see Kathryn and Eli loved getting to spend the time together.  Ruby was passed around like a little football.  Her homeade birthday cake turned out really good that her Granna made.  It was a great day!

Kathryn's 6th Birthday

Tomorrow is Kathryn's 6th birthday and I can't wait to celebrate with her. I never understood the impact kids made on your life until I had her. I knew that she was going to be one of a kind the first moment I saw those eyes. I can't believe that she is already 6! Oh how time flies.

To Kathryn:

You will never understand the impact that you have made on my life. Even though you have always been Aunt Amy's "Angel" and Papa's "precious grandbaby" you will always be MY Sunshine. You have got through some of my darkest days! I love you so much and always will. Hope you have a happy happy birthday!! :-)

Zoo trip

Kathryn's kindergarten class had a field trip to the zoo this week.  We have been looking forward to this trip all month long.  Of course the day that we are scheduled to go it is raining cats and dogs.  Needless to say we went anyways.  She and I circled that zoo hoping to get to see as much as possible.  We had a great time regardless of the rain.  We saw a tiger, monkeys, and Kathryn's favorite a llama.  Below are some picture of this fun outing that she and I had.

Coupons

I have recently fell in love with coupons!  I never really noticed how much I could save.  No, I am not one of the people who have a stock pile, but I do enjoy getting a "deal"!  I have watched sales papers for different items that I use.  I have figured out that certain things seem to be on sale every few weeks.  For the ones of you who say I don't have the time, if I can do it trust me anyone can.  You make the time to go to work, why not save the money you make at work by doing a little bit of work.  A tip sign up for www.southernsavers.com mailing list.  It is free and will help you find bargins for the week.  Happy Couponing! :-)

Ruby Grace

Ruby Grace was born on 7/12/11 at 5:10 pm.  She was 8 lbs 9 ozs and 22" long.  She has been such a blessing to our family. 

31 weeks and counting

It has been a while since I have blogged last.  I am now on my 31st week and almost starting my 32nd week.  We are getting so excited!! Ruby Grace is on her way soon!  Tomorrow the family is coming to help me get ready for Ruby to enter our lives.  Here are some 3-d pictures of her.  These were done on May 4th.  Hopefully in the next few weeks I can keep everyone updated.
