Oh goodness. It's been a while. At some point I would just give up but I like to have pictures on here since I don't really keep them anywhere else. So I'm going to attempt to catch up.....again! You can see above why I might be too busy to blog?!?! This pup keeps me on my toes. This particular night she made a huge mess! I quickly realized I was grateful for easy to wipe off leather furniture and new carpet with good stain shield!
Taylor got an apron sometime after Christmas so we've done a little more baking than usual!
We had snow! Currently it is near 80 degrees so I don't remember the snow but here's proof it happened!
My little snow bunny. She didn't last long. It was too cold!
Back at home Allie was glad to have some snow playmates.
She would take his hat every.single.time.
And then run away with it.
It's either smiles or tears when these two are playing in the snow together!
Come and get it, I dare you, she said.
I got it and she got time out!
See, more cooking!
We had a snow day play day with Kaleb and Kathryn. The boys went to basketball camp so while they were there we did what all girls want to do! Panera for lunch!
Shopping at Target!
Finished off with Starbucks!
One of Taylor's purchases on the trip!
Grandma and Grandpa Edwards came to town for a belated Christmas celebration!
Checking out the loot!
Taylor got a karaoke machine.
It was a hit with everyone.
Dave with his buddy, Harvey, who painted him this picture for his new office!
Taylor's basketball season is in full swing. I've figured out I have too much fun watching the games to remember to take pictures during them!
Appropriate shirt!
Taylor had been anxiously waiting for the next Mommy-and-Me Barre class. It finally happened and she talked Emmy into coming along too!
Checking out the movie Moana with Grandma.
The winter weather has been perfect this year. I've been able to go out running and it usually feels better in the cooler air. One day, apparently it felt pretty good - hasn't happened since!
Warming up before a big game!
I took Max to work with me one day. He sat in my lap the whole time.
Took Allie with me one day, had to close the door and she sat behind it waiting for someone to come in the whole time!
It's a good winter when you find yourself at the driving range!
Allie got a haircut and a new bed - big day for her!
She got her money's worth on the haircut!
She loves her bed. And Taylor loves her.
Making duck faces at church.
Chase's team had a great season. I have zippo pictures to prove it. He's at an age where it's starting to look like a real basketball game and it's fun to watch!
Someone figured out where we keep her squeaky toys!
We went to Savannah's roller skating birthday party. This was Taylor's first time trying it!
It was not Chase's first time but might as well have been. He does not have a roller skating bone in his body!
Taylor did way better than it looks here!
Hanging out with Emmy.
He was a trooper.
Girls on the move.
Allie has gotten a lot bigger but she still lets Chase carry her around like this.
Spirit day at school - dress like what you want to be when you grow up.
Dr. Caddell - she loves her "doctor shoes".
Sometimes she is crazy.
Another nice day!
My perfect Valentine bouquet!! I always tell him - no flowers, only kitkats!
And a Valentine surprise I picked up for myself. I never get one of these but I picked the perfect day to go there!
Dave was a speaker at a meeting at Great Wolf lodge on a random Thursday afternoon so we snuck the kids out of school early to play while he was there!
He got to have a little fun before work too!
Maybe too much fun!
Finished up with some arcade fun and then headed back home. They said it was way better than staying at school all day.
Back at home I was trying to get ready for company, but someone kept smacking me in the leg with the squeaky pig.
When that wouldn't work she just jumped in the middle of whatever I was doing!
Kerry and Brett came for a long weekend visit. We had a blast with them here but this is the ONLY picture I took!! Geesh.
Unfortunately their visit ended with a sick Chase. Luckily he seems to have not shared his germs!
And back to the kitchen for more cooking. At least the dog finally looks worn out!!!!
