January and February


We went to Fredericksburg to visit Nettie in January when we had a long weekend. It was really nice! The girls had a blast!

Kate and Carly had a blast putting out hay for the cows.
I love this sweet picture with Gran Nettie! We had such a good time!

Kamara came over to babysit for us one night so that we could have a late dinner. We went to Pappsitos for dinner and then got some Starbucks and looked around Barnes and Noble. I asked Zack if he remembered who I was? Ha! It had been way too long since we had been out on a date.

January was the month for cookie selling! Kate is in Girl Scouts this year and she has enjoyed it, too. Here she was participating in a cookie booth sale. She honestly was very shy about going up to anybody and asking them if they wanted any cookies. However, she did great with handing them cookies and helping out with the money.


Here the girls are at Ellee's birthday party. She had a princess tea party themed party. It was so cute and fun! Zack stayed home with Claire while she napped.



We had a crazy snow day in February that started after we dropped off Kate at school. The snow started and would not let up so I decided to keep Carly home from school. Then, by the afternoon it all started to melt. So, Kate did not get to enjoy it as long as Carly but it was still fun! I picked Kate up an hour earlier from school so I wouldn't have to worry about any inclement weather.

We collected snow outside and then I let them use play-doh containers to play with the snow inside.


Claire had fun, too!

Carly's Valentine's Day party! This was Carly's face when she saw that Zack came, too. It was a great surprise! 


One happy girl to have both her parents with her!

Drawing on a heart to finish out the party!

Claire's Valentine Day outfit! So cute!

Kate still got to take home her valentine cards. The girls had fun looking through all their different candies and cards.

We gave Claire this pretend brownie set! All three girls have enjoyed playing with it. 

Kate and Carly got a new beanie boo and loved them! Here they are loving on their Daddy.

Our Valentine Day tradition! Enjoying a heart shaped pizza.

Ryleigh had a Build-a-Bear birthday party. So, Carly got to have her first build a bear experience!


Kate and Carly enjoying their bears! Nana gave the girls bear outfits for Valentine's Day, so it worked out perfectly!

Since Kate was sick, Zack stayed home with Kate and also stayed home so Claire could nap. Therefore, Carly got to have some special time with me for my birthday celebration in Grapevine with Kamara. She loved it!

There was no school on President's Day, so Kamara and I took the girls to the Preserve Park in Plano. We had fun all being together!

The babies had fun, too. I love Claire's face in this picture. So funny!

Carly's first open house! Carly loved showing us around her school and to see her work. Here she is with one of her good friends, Harper. There are only four girls in Carly's class! So, she is good friends with all the girls.

The teachers gave each child a plant as a gift. It was very sweet!
