It's been a crazy last 4 months...

January
Wes's dad came to visit, so we had all the cousins from OK come over. We had A LOT of Just Dance competitions. Even Mario and I battled off...I think I won!!Zane will not go anywhere without his Diary of a Wimpy Kid books and journal...
Girl time!!
Morgan, Levi, Mario"Abbie", Avery, Zane, Austen. They sure are some cute kids!! The end of January was my boss's big 71st birthday so we threw him a little surprise party!! He's still working 6:30am-6:30pm everyday and 6:30am-12:00 on Saturdays. He's crazy healthy.
February
The first weekend I was in Dallas and got to dress up for a Valentines themed P-Party where I dance a lot and saw a lot of people sweat! Good times. For my outfit, I sewed little hearts all over my jeans. I am pictured with the sweetest miracle ever. Then there was the gormet Valentine's breakfast of a strawberry banana protein smoothie and cinnamon sugar toast shaped like a heart! I didn't get a chance to make Avery a cute Valentines outfit :( I decided to go all out and get a big tattoo of my Pathways (The program I've been going to in Dallas) contract. They play the song The Rose before we are done for the evening, so that is why I chose a rose. The writing says "I'm a strong proud loving woman joyful and worthy of God's plan" It's big, but I LOVE IT! It was 3 hours of crazy pain though...
Then it was Avery's first real Level 4 gymnastics meet with a lot of people watching, judges, scores, and awards only given to the top scorers. She was sooooo nervous. She did great though.Her best score was on floor with an 8.50...
Here are some of her little gymnast friends. She looks pretty happy here, but five minutes later she realized she didn't get a single award except for a pair of toe socks that everyone got! She was devastated and cried, but she competed against like 30 girls in her age group. I sure had fun watching!! March
Avery's 2nd and last meet of the season. Sadly, I was in Dallas and the video camera got left but thankfully EVERYONE got a trophy so she was happy!!!
We all went to the science museum and watched our first movie inside the omnidome. It was Tornado Alley. Really neat. Avery and I also built the tallest structure using only 30 straws!! I really wanted to make a St. Patricks Day outfit for Avery but I only had time for a peg doll necklace and matching flip flops. I realized after school that it looks better with a black thick ribbon behind the green and pink ribbon, so I added that after she got home! The blurry poor lit before school pic!Z-man got some little sore that he wouldn't leave alone...so it turned into leprosy...yuck...Thankfully it's almost gone after 10 days of medicine!
The kids went to GG and PaPa's for Spring Break which it ended up raining the whole time over there, but it looks like they got some girl time in! Avery has gotten so good at doing nails...
When I got the kiddos back, we decided to paint! The kids painted their pictures and I painted random colors around their pictures since I don't like seeing white canvas!! I probably should have let them do that part, but I was worried Zane would mess up his masterpiece by trying to paint in between the cute little fingers he gave Mario and Luigi!! Can't wait to hang them up in the art room. After painting I decided to grab a shirt of Avery's that had a little stain on it and throw a chocolate bunny on it to get into the Easter spirit. I probably shouldn't sew in poor lighting because purple yarn can look brown...oh well...at least she had cute toes...We then decided to play at the park since the weather was awesome. I can't believe we have not taken any snow pictures or eaten snow ice cream this year. We never even had a winter. I'm Ok with that. I love this weather!!
