Hooray! It is finished. I said it had to be off the ping pong table by Alex's bday, and it was. Brothers don't think it is manly enough for their man cave, but really it is the family game room, not a man cave. ;)
Our 3rd grade astronaut.
Just the usual school production. M didn't want a speaking part; just singing for her.
The MOON!
Park day with Meg and Felicity.
Stephanie Nguyen and I love this place. We have found the perfect combination. Steph expects we'll be eating here anytime we run on my side of town. Green Smoothie bowl (with strawberries instead of mangoes) here we come!
Sewing up some owls.
Coach Dan and his dolphins. (Check out the sweet hair bows I made for the team. The bows weren't too tricky, but those glitter letters were another story!)
Macey is an awesome defender!
March madness trip. Two guys, going to AZ for male bonding!
In front of big screens.
Spring time!
My twin sewing students. They dress alike, but they make very individual sewing choices. Love to see their personalities come through in their work.
While Dad and Alex were gone, I took Ry and Macey to this park (oh and Lucy and Mike came along too). They enjoyed zip lining over and over again.
Spring break fun with one of her besties. It was a hot 67deg this day!
Soccer sunset!
Monopoly, ya'll!
The price of leaving part of his uniform at home. Band concert attire selfie with mom!
Piano practice. Some days go better than others! Always better if you're wearing a hat.
A day off from school took us to the arcade, Free Play, with the D's.
These boys are getting as big as men!
I can tell you I was feeling pretty macho driving the truck around full of rocks! These are the Eagle Project rocks the kids can paint.
Well, here is Eagle Project try and fail day one. This fail wasn't Alex's fault, but the weather's. We were there about 30 min when the tornado sirens went off. Inside we went to hunker down. Once we got the all clear, the police told us to go home (they were just there for security). Which we did. And when the hail started falling 30 min later, we were glad the truck was safely stored in the garage!
Next attempt is this Thursday. Sure hope it works out. Just $200 folks!
Owls all done!
Concert day! So, after a hard trip to Salt Lake on the volunteer front, I laid low all fall. Just did my bit here and there. This semester the Youth Choir Manager (who has become a dear friend!) asked me if I would be one of her assistants just to ease her load a bit. Because this woman is amazing and has given 4 years of her life to DMCO, I said yes. It wasn't a large burden I took on, but it was a task I enjoyed, and it helped Jenn. One perk, I don't have to be holed up in a room with 100 tired, noisy, cranky kids backstage. I had to make sure 300 youth arrived and departed safely, but that was much easier on my nerves! (But not on my step count! Allen Performing Arts center must be 10 acres!)
Another perk, was crossing paths with Stephanie! This lady is a great person and I'm thankful that our friendship has survived the Frisco move. LOL!
Bless my husband, he always take great pictures while I'm just sitting there enjoying the view!
Macey is in the second row next to the boy in the middle. (They all look alike in the uniform, which is the point, but it makes it hard to find your own kid!)
Our singer!
Our hero. He watched both concerts. They were both 2+ hours, so that is no small feat. I joined him for the first one, and Alex joined him for the second one.
Bluebonnets! Jo and I out for our 10K steps!
I chaperoned Ryan's band trip to Sandy Lake Amusement park. As Dan knows, I don't take great photos. Here is the band warming up, but Ryan is behind Mr Smith so you can't see him.
Ryan is in the front row with the red hat. They earned a 1 (which is like an 'A') from the judges. And they also won best band of the day! Which is very cool. The kids enjoyed the junk food, rides and free time! The weather was great, so I didn't mind hanging out at the park either.
