Avery's 1st ski lesson

Avery and Daddy, along with friends Mark, and his daughter
Katelyn got to go skiing last week! It was Avery and Katelyn's first time, and they got to take a lesson, and then show off their new skills! They all had a BLAST!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Looks like the leprechauns came and invaded our house!

Pirates of Penzance

Avery was in her first play, and had such a fun time! They practiced several hours each week for about 2 months. It was so great to see her perform! She did a fabulous job as a daughter. The pictures were taken after the play, one of them with her sweet friend Max, who was the lead in the play.

that's my boy!

Yep, that's our little man...riding his rocking moose, shirtless + beads...nice...

1st grade patriotic program

The 1st grade classes put on a beautiful patriot program a couple weeks ago. They really did an amazing job. A few days before the program, Avery was telling me about it, and said, "Mom, when we sing America the Beautiful, it makes me cry, cause I think about all the soldiers, and especially Great Grandpa." Is that the sweetest thing you've ever heard?? I love that little girl :)

getting some energy out!

Avery had a couple days off of school, thanks to President's Day, so a friend and I took the kids to "Get Air", an indoor trampoline park. What a great way to get some energy out on a cold winter day. They had tons of fun!

lovin' us some family time

We were able to go to a fun Grizzlies Ice Hockey game last week, and even better, were able to take some friends with us! The kids especially had a blast chasing the mascot half way around the stadium to get a picture. ...and hiding in the cupboards of the suite we were in! I love being able to do fun stuff like this with the kids~ what great memories!
