Fantastically Fun February

Wow! Where did February go?!

We had a fun filled month.

The younger kids had their track off break so we decided to road trip!

~

At 3:45 one morning

Billie, James and I hit the road

to Grandma and Grandpa's house!

~

We travelled across snowy Wyoming...

~

The kids were so excited to get to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

As soon as the car was unpacked

out came the scooters.

Unfortunately we were there for about 20 minutes when James' had an epic fail.

He hit a patch of black ice.

In an effort to save his hands he caught his fall with his face.

Sad Boy:

(He survived and was well enough

to go to the Aggie basketball game

with Grandpa that same night)

Bill's adorable cousin goes to college nearby my parents home

se we picked her up one morning

for a darling little brunch at a yummy italian resturant.

She was so sweet to the kids

playing hang man and the dot game at the table

It was so fun to see her again after a really long time.

D~You are darling and I am so excited to see where your dreams take you!

The kids and I hit the car wash.

Billie and James acted like they had never been through a car wash before.

Maybe they haven't.

But it was fun to hear them freaking out at all the car wash noises!

James will be embarking on a recorder unit

and Grandma was kind enough to give the kids a lesson!

Grandpa scooter racing with the kids.

Craft Time with Grandma.

Art time with Grandpa.

He taught them how to mix colors and showed them how to use chalk pastels.

Mom taught me how to long arm quilt. I made a darling little picnic quilt.

It turned out pretty good for my first go at long arm quilting

(And using a sewing machine on something other than paper!)

My dad made the most amazing sour dough bread!

I think we demolished one loaf in a day!

We also saw a musical (The Music Man)

Visited with the extended family

Played with the neighbors St.Bernard: Barkley

Had movie marathons and movie nights in the Theater

Broke bread and did lots of talking!

Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us invade this month! We had a great time and we love you!
