First Basketball Season

February 10

Pax finished up his first season of basketball and really liked it. He looked forward to practice and games each week. They all really improved as the season progressed. 

Ice-pocalypse 2014

Jan 28 & 29, 2014

On Tuesday, jan, 28, it started snowing around 10:30 while we were at school. Even though it was really cold, I still took my class out to play in it for a bit. :)

At 12:15, we got an email that we we're dismissing early. By this time, the roads were starting to get bad, and there were already accidents. It took brad 1 1/2 hours to get from our house to pick up Parker from Sikes. (Luckily, he was working from home that day.). He ended up having to walk from mom and dad's house to get Parker in his little hooded jacket. Poor baby was freezing cold. I had all his warm clothes with me. :( 

At about 3:30, Paxton, Kellie, Mia, Marisa, and Rick left school to walk to mom and dad's. We actually took one of my students with me and walked him home through the woods. Then, Kellie and Rick walked to Sikes to get Mara. The roads kept getting worse and worse, and everyone ended up stuck at mom and dad's house for the night! Many fun memories were made, and we were all thankful we were safe and sound and not stranded on the roads for hours upon hours. 

The next day, we ventured out to play, and school was cancelled the rest of the week.

Happy Valentine's Day

2/14/14

My, how things have changed?!?! Our idea of a perfect Valentine's Day was spent relaxing at home and then a fun family dinner at Pappasito's, followed by ice skating! I wouldn't have had it any other way, and it's fun to see how it's all changed with the arrival of our 2 little Valentine's! 

The boys both did well ice skating. Parker pretty much just stood there while I just skated him around. But,boy did my back hurt afterwards. Pax started to get the hang of it, too, by the end of the night. Definitely a memorable night! I love my boys!!!

Circus 2014

Feb 16, 2014

We took the boys to the circus with Mimi and papa. Both boys has fun but it was so precious to see Parker's face as he watched everything in amazement. His favorite things were the horses and elephants, while Paxton's favorite were the unicycle riding basketball players. It was a great show!
