Marion is 5, museum art and Easter

So, we have been MIA for a while... Sorry about that. 

Here are some of our latest shenanigans.

Marion turned 5 and had a tea party with her friends

We want to the IMAS in McAllen and saw amazing stained glass art depicting parts of the Bible, so we got the supplies to make our own...

We did our resurrection rolls and eggs for Easter 

And have been just livin' life.

We love you all and miss you!!!!

First Christmas!

We got a surprise package at the airport!!!!

Grampa (who Marion deemed Santa) and Gramma (Marion's best friend)!!!!!

We decorated the tree, had "First Christmas" after a doctor appointment for Marion(just the tail end of a virus) which Daddy had a couple days off for, then Report Day where Goy led everyone in Jingle Bells and showed off Robi, a trip to see Santa at "the big fish store" (Marion loved Santa and talked with him for a couple minutes, Goy and I were shy),then we got a Grampa and Gramma date night while Daddy took Momma out on a date!  Today was a bike ride to the playground, fort building, lego playing, pony playing and lots of snuggles before we took them to the airport. Very sad😢. But looking forward to the next visit. 

Thanksgiving Unit

We started our thanksgiving unit today and decided we needed a turkey cover page to put on top of all our worksheets and projects. We ran out of time before lunch to finish so the heads and our names will go on tomorrow. 

A race and a hug

On our way to church Sunday morning, Marion beat Emma to the corner which made Emma come back for a hug. Goy stepped in and walked Emma all the way to the car. Marion took the moment to enjoy a bird that was flying close by. 

Grampa & Gramma

Grampa and Gramma came to visit. We had a lot of fun playing games, bowling, eating ice cream, BBQing and even a morning of swimming. We also got to enjoy dinner with all our friends and played in the store while waiting for our table. 

New Addition-the Van!!!!

While the kids stayed in town with Aunt Lacey and her girls, and Daddy went to some training in Austin, Momma flew up to Austin and visited family, welcomed Logan home and got us a VAN!!!!

We are so excited. 

Avery is such a doll! I loved getting to smother her with kisses. 

Meanwhile, the kids were enjoy summer fun at Bass Pro Shop!

When?

When did he get big enough to lift the heavy dinner pot?  When did he get big enough to clear the table?

I mean it, that pan was heavy!!!!

He is growing up on me way too fast, yet he is the first to snuggle, hug, and randomly say "I love you Momma"

And he still wants to be my cuddle bug!

Can someone slow down the clock?
