Dodge Ball at Heritage

The boys both had teams at the Heritage Middle Dodgeball tournament this year. "Fam" for Grant and uh, white t-shirt, crazy sock for Cade. Cade's team needed a fill in and Rhett was ready to accommodate. He had a great time playing with the big guys:) 

Daddy Daughter Dance Time!

I actually kinda love Daddy Daughter Dance night. Elaina begs to spend most of her time in her athletic wear so when the night comes for me to curl her hair and put her in a fancy-ish dress I get excited:) She was a little disappointed this year that she had to wear her boots. She wanted sparkly high tops but I just could not find any at a good enough price for me to consider buying for the occasion. I thought the boots were perfect with their embroidered flowers anyway! 

Let it be known that when her date came to pick her up he gave her a beautiful corsage hand crafted by yours truly. It's amazing what a very not crafty person can do after watching a couple you tube videos! 

This is pretty much my favorite picture:) Her face pretty much sums up how I feel when Bobby is taking me on a date!

Daddy and Daughter. Second annual dance in the books!

Fort Building

The weather has been pretty mild and the boys have taken advantage of it by hanging outside and building forts. Annie has enjoyed all of the outside play time too! 

I was super impressed by their work! 

What's crazy is that a few days after they built all of these, a huge flooding rain came through. The forts were halfway under water and when the flood receded they were still standing! That's some serious fort work! 

Party with Elaina

Kindergarten Christmas (or should I say "winter") party with Elaina:)

Indoor Soccer

Cade finished his first season of indoor soccer with several of his buds. It was a lot of fun and little commitment. My kind of off season sport! Good times! 

Last Year of Thirties

Happy 39th birthday, Bobby! A little lunch at Acapulco and a family dinner at home:)

Chicago

Bobby and I had a great weekend getaway to Chicago. We usually go in the summer time but this year his work related trip was in December. It was quite cold but we had a fun time doing ice skating while we were there. Well, I had a fun time...Bobby was all Mr. Gumby Ankles and could hardly stand on his skates. Yay for ONE thing I'm better at than Bobby:)
