Doing Their Own Thing

Mattie went to an "almost sleepover" birthday party, and Barbie showed up! Barbie painted her face, made her a balloon animal, and gave her a necklace and barrette. Logan went one of his best buddies' house for a sleepover. Ty's mom sent me this picture of them chilling in the backyard eating ice cream. We took Noah to Math Night at school. He had fun having us all to himself. I think he was even more excited about getting a homework pass!

My Thursdays

Last fall, I gave up my Thursday Jazzercise class in order to go to Ladies' Bible Study again. These two sweet friends have me looking forward to Thursday all week long.

Music To My Ears

Noah randomly decided to practice his recorder music last night, so Matt got out his trumpet and played along with him. (by the way - that's MY recorder from 4th grade!)

Jump High Noah, Get Up Off Your Feet

This kid has become a rebounding animal. This was during a scrimmage at his last basketball practice. It's hard to believe that basketball season is almost over. He's had a great time playing on Colin's team, meeting some new friends, and has improved a whole bunch since the beginning of January. Saturday is the end of the season tournament. Let's Go Lob City!

It's All About The Green Apple Lollipop

I mean, really, why else would you get a haircut?

Plastic Surgery!

We're Taking Baby Steps!!!

Hockey is always more fun when you get to bang on the glass!

Happy Birthday Aunt Chey!

Wishing one very special, very beautiful, very wonderful mommy a very happy birthday! Hope your day was filled with hugs, kisses, and lots of love from your crazy crew!

Fun And Fancy Free!

Enjoying the sunshine and fresh air on this beautiful February day.

Let The Good Times Roll

Hooray it's bunco night! Natalie did a fabulous job hosting her first bunco, a Mardi Gras theme, complete with hurricanes. Yum! These are just two of my mommy friends from the hood, Whitney and Shannon. Whitney announced tonight that she is pregnant with baby #2. So excited for her! You can't really tell from the picture, but I did dress for the theme - I wore my "Drew Dat?" shirt. Already looking forward to next month.

Seven And A Half!

Since this kid has a summer birthday, we celebrated his half birthday at school. Matt took the day off to be a Watch Dog, and Mattie and I were able to join them for lunch. Topped off with donuts for his class, I think this kid had a pretty special day!

 

This was his writing project hanging in the hall about someone who is special to him. My boys LOVE their cousin Eric.

Serious Heartbreakers

Friends, food, and fun hanging with a bunch of Ramseys tonight. That's Garrett in between Noah and Logan. Have I mentioned lately how much I love living on this street?

It's Hoop Day!

With some extra special fans in the stands!

And one sassy sister.

L ♥ O ♥ V ♥ E

These three (and their daddy) have my heart.

Happy Valentine's Day!

A Fun-Filled Family Valentine's Day

Started with the annual Jazzercise pajama party!

 Mattie made a Valentine for her Carter, and I made what is supposed to be a cake for my little Valentines.

Who needs to go out for dinner? Coffee rubbed rib-eyes. Yum!

We used the fancy dishes!

There was even dancing:

A perfect day full of LOVE!

Tapping Into His Crafty Side

 After I helped Logan make his monster bag, I turned Noah loose to create his bag for Valentine's Day. He was excited to do it all himself.

Her Secret Hideaway

Crazy, silly girl in the closet under the stairs.

Red Raider Heaven!

Happy early Valentine's Day to us! We had a great time at the Recruiting Review in Austin tonight. It has us totally fired up for football season. If only we didn't have to wait until August. We met The King, had him sign Eric/Noah/Logan's jersey, and mingled with coaches, the chancellor, and other die hard fans! The top left picture is Emily Jones, Red Raider Alum, and former Fox Sports reporter. The top right picture is former Tech football coach Spike Dykes. And just under that is Coach Wally, the Defensive Coordinator. We ♥ Texas Tech!

100th Day Of School!

Logan's 1st grade class celebrates the 100th day of school!

If you ask him, he'll tell you it is 100 days too many. I think he's already counting the days til summer. Can you find Logan?

Francis Is Our Favorite!

Autograph night with the Texas Stars!

Autograph Night With The Texas Stars!

 I think she's excited to see some stars! She brought one of our many hockey pucks to have signed.

 Grandma made this awesome pillow for Logan out of one of the freebie t-shirts they throw out at the games! I think it was the coolest thing there! Definitely one of a kind!

 Matching Mouths!

 So hungry they couldn't wait. Eating pizza while they were waiting in line.

 Telling Jack that we are ready for him to get well. We need him back in goal!
