March, Part One!


Cuddling with my babies is one of my favorite things ever in the world.
Look at these sweet faces!
Love them.
Her face just melts me.


This one loves to take pictures!
Ahhh--that face!
In case something happens to me, I do want my kids to have a few pictures of me that look presentable! I straightened my hair AND put make up on, so I took a picture. :) (Kiddos, please use this picture if you need it!)


From September to late March, I had the privilege of leading Avaree's school's Desitination Imagination Rising Star's team! We performed our dress rehearsal for our principal and a few teachers on the ONE day all year that Avaree was home with a fever, so I had to take her spot, but the kids did amazing, and our principal was very proud!
The next day, Brandt had the fever. We love to share around here. ;)
I ended up taking him to the After Hours Pediatric Office, and it was a double ear infection.
Poor buddy--he was pretty miserable.
Ready for some meds!
He was so much happier the next morning!
And this dolly was, too!
The following week, we performed our DI play for parents, and it was videoed to show at the GT showcase! My little puppy (We did ours as the Poop Patrol spoofing the Paw Patrol!) did a great job!
Love all of these sweet puppies!
More coming up! :)

End of February!!

Avaree's school had a living history museum! She chose to be Pocahontas! She researched her life, and then she wrote and memorized a speech about her life in English AND in Spanish! Here she is practicing before people came over to hear her.
 She did get a little nervous, and she kept her cards with her, but she did an amazing job!
 Her dialect and knowledge of the Spanish language is bind blowing to me.
 One of her sweet teachers from last year came over to hear her!
 Then, she got her to put her cards down because she KNEW she could do it without them!

  It was randomly cold that morning when I dropped her off! ;)

 Meanwhile, we had visitors at home!
 More school fun for Ave!

 Pop Pop painted our dungeon of a kitchen! Thank you, Pop Pop!
The next day, I got to go have lunch with these cuties at school!
 Then, these two wanted to have their lunch outside, but it was a little cold! ;)
 That Friday night, we had Mrs. Lorretta over for dinner and a movie! We had the best time loving on her!
 Bright and early Saturday morning, Avaree and I had our Rising Stars DI competition in Birdville!
 Monday morning, we had fun at the park with friends! Bubs and his Wessie are a hoot!
 Sweet boys!
Our handsome boy!

February was fast and fun! March is coming up next! :)

February, Part 2: Daddy/Daughter Dance and Real Life!

I love finding pictures of Avaree in her school's posts!
  Poor sister fought that rash on her face for quite a while.
"Ree, piggy ride? --Brandt"
We loooove to read!
DADDY/DAUGHTER DANCE!
Avaree was beyond excited for the Daddy/Daughter dance! She wore her flower girl dress from this past summer, and she looked so beautiful.
Reese and her Daddy came over for pictures beforehand!
Pretty girl ready to go dance the night away!
So happy!

Daddy took this while they were at the dance!

Clearly, she has happier faces, but I was proud that Daddy got someone to take this!
Meanwhile, the babies and I made cupcakes for our neighbor's birthday! It was her 67th birthday, and she said it was her best birthday ever. :)

Felicity was so excited to sing Happy Birthday to her!

She loves Ms. Julie!
The next day, someone was looking extra beautiful working on her spelling words.
King Brandt and friends at church! :)
