Katie's Busy Schedule

Katie has been super busy with all of her activities but Girl Scouts is always a fav. We had a field trip to the zoo where the girls did a scavenger hunt. It turned out really fun! All the girls had a good time.


Here are the girls at the animal shelter and also World Thinking Day.


Finally the Me and My Guy Sock Hop! SOOO CUTE!



Another HUGE thing going on for Katie right now is her Dance Company. She has her Prevue Show this weekend, which is their debut before competition. She is SOOOOO excited. The girls have been working really hard! Here they are all dressed up for their dress rehearsal last weekend as well as a quick shot from her hair and make up run through! This has definitely been quite a learning experience for mommy who feels very out of her comfort zone! HA!

It's Rodeo Time Y'all!

You know you live in Texas when the kids' schools have Rodeo/Go Texan Day :) Here are my cuties!!

Welcome Bradley!

The kids have a new cousin! Bradley was born on Feb 15th! I even pulled Katie out of school early to go down and meet him in the hospital. What a special time. I'm so glad the kids have cousins so close. Katie especially is smitten.



A few days later we went down to see Brooke, who was at school when we visited the hospital. the kids always have such a great time together!

Kids Running For Kids!

Our school district put on a 1 mile fun run and Katie and her friend Sophia had a blast! It was REALLY cold but those medals were totally worth it! So proud of our girls!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Christmas post...finally!

Let's ignore the fact that it's February and I'm posting Christmas pictures. :D

Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Brandon came out here for Christmas this year, even though it was supposed to be our year to go to California. While I really missed being able to see my California family at Christmas I have to admit it was nice to be in our home and not have to deal with the stressors of traveling at the holidays.

Of course no holiday with Grandma Mary Beth would be complete without baking cookies of some kind. :)


I managed to get almost everyone to church Christmas Eve ;)



The kids of course got their traditional Christmas Jammies from Bert the Elf on Christmas Eve! They also got Christmas ornaments from Grandma and Grandpa. Right before bed we sprinkled reindeer food with special sparkles to be sure they didnt miss our house!




Christmas Morning!



It was a wonderful Christmas!

Big Weekend!

I am so behind on blogging...I think I actually have picture from Christmas yet to make it. But the little girl had a big weekend and I just had to share. She lost her first tooth AND got her ears pierced! Can't believe how fast she's growing up! I never thought she'd lose a tooth. Many of her friends have lost multiple by now. I went back to see if it happened to be the first tooth she got as a baby and it was! Waaaah! Mommy's having a hard time with all this growing up stuff :( She was so proud and happy about her new smile and her new ears!
