Forty-Six

After two late nights of conferences, we got a day off together!

This girl loves Friday night gymnastics!

It's no secret, homemade is better. I used to think my mom just told us that to make us feel better about the crummy construction paper cards we made her, but she was right. Logan was so excited about his Valentine creations this year. They turned out super cute!

I found a Valentine in his bag made by a clever classmate, just for Logan. It says this is Dark Side .... Then you flip it over & it says, this is the bright side. Hahaha!!! I loved it!

Forty-Four

It's assembly day. I've come to avoid assemblies when I can these days. There's no getting out of morning assemblies though, and I'm glad I was there!

Last trimester I didn't come back to school in the afternoon, and wouldn't you know it- Chelsea won an award. That afternoon brought up some deep sadness from this little guy because he had never won an award. As always, we talked in depth about what it takes to earn a HAWK award.

So when I got wind that he would be getting an award this time, I was tickled! I stood up near the front with my camera ready & waited. And waited. No award for Honor. Okay. Achievement? Nope. Hmmm, that would have been my guess since he's a pretty smart little guy. Work Ethic ... Uh, no. Kindness? I had my fingers crossed, but no. There was only one letter left in HAWKS, S, for safety. I was really nervous at this point, actually, I figured it was a mistake & his award got lost in the shuffle. But wait, they said it! He won an award for safety! Talk about surprised! The child that is notorious for stopping both directions of traffic on our busy street? Wow, I was truly impressed. Still not sure what stuck out & made the teacher recognize him in the area of safety, but I'm not complaining!

Happy birthday Mayson! Can't wait to see it on!

Forty-Two

Not the fairy-tale ending we hoped for, but it was definitely a good time! Thanks Mom!



Forty-One

Dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's. Best fried chicken anywhere, hands down!!! Bonus- we got to meet the newest member of the family! We'll call her Brick's little cousin. Although if she tops out at 6 lbs., I'm not sure they'll ever get to meet.

Taking some time to mind our marriage! Dinner & cheesecake - going all out after the KCDSG marriage retreat!
