January Miscellaneous

We've had a fantastic first month of 2015...ready to see what the rest of this year holds!

Riding her new jeep around the neighborhood.

Brooker and Nolan warming up with hot chocolate at camp.

A lovely group of mannequins at Old Navy don't ya think?

Boot Camp is back in session...early mornings for me!

Giddy Up

A room full of horses...these girls are in Heaven

All I can say is...Yearbook Pic!

Brooker had his buddy Braden over for the night.

Braden is not a fan of the Gators but he was willing to wear these...they were the only pj pants I had to fit him!

Oren, Brooker, Braden, and Nolan having movie night!

Oh to see these girls at 16!!

Fun times at the playground.

Sweet girl!

Laci kept these girls entertained this afternoon.

"Look mom, I drew Sven!"

Celebrating Reese's birthday at Upward cheer practice.

Tot Time

"Mom take my picture with Smokey!"

She will still do this and I love it!

Getting stronger every day!

SILLY GIRLS!

A little crafting at Aunt Bonny's house.

A wonderful email to receive...makes a momma's heart feel good :)

Twinning....this outfit is one that Mary Kate prefers to put on every day!

Caroline teaching Mary Kate the basics of volleball.

Sleepy head!

Monkeys at the Children's Mueseum

Friday early release treat!

Nolan, Ladd, Brooker, and Mary Kate blessing their lunch! (I saw this and had to capture a pic through the window...it was so unprompted which made it even sweeter!)

Brooker joined Braden to help work cows...I believe they spent more time climbing hay bales...He has battle scars to prove it!

My lunch date!

Little girly girl...using a random car as a mirror so she can apply her lip gloss!

Yummy chocolate doughnuts at Aunt Laci's

A movie date "Paddington" for these four!

The girls set up a movie theater in Mary Kate's room.

PTO helped host a Frozen themed AR incentive party...complete with snowcones!

Brooker and his buddies earned the party!

And loved their blue snowcones! Brooker is also wearing the AR shirt he earned for meeting a certain goal so far this year.

Heidi took the girls to sweet frog for a treat!

Love this!

Oh happy day...My 2014 blog books arrived! Had to print them in TWO volumes this year!

Mary Kate thinks she's the next Food Network star! She LOVES being in the kitchen...today's project...Valentine's cupcakes!

Mrs. Vicki captured this silly pic of Mary Kate at Upward.

Brooker led his own conference with Jared and I at school...he went over his leadership notebook with us...I love his personal mission statement page..."I want to get a scholarship and go to college so I can be a good dad!" 

Brooker's class Science Fair project. He claims he picked out all the paper and the border to use on the board...love his contribution to the project...Haha!

So proud of Uncle Mike for his service to our country. Here's Aunt Mary, Nene, and mom at his official retirement ceremony. He was awarded the Legion of Merit!


Mary Kate has this little habit of sneaking into our bed most nights around 2 a.m. A week ago she stayed in her bed the whole night and was praised...after she did it three nights in a row I made a pact with her that if she did it for a week she would get a new Frozen nightgown that she was eyeing. Well she did it and could not have been more excited to see this nightgown laying next to her when she woke up!


A funny pic sent to me by the babysitter!


Ready for Game #3

Love these two so much!
