March 2025

 


Our March adventures....

Book Club with my neighbors. So much fun :)

McTakeover fundraiser for school. So many people and kids.

Alexis wanted to change her hair style so we tried this app to sample different styles. She has had a lot of fun using it for all of us.  

Alexis has had a cough forever...took her to the doctor for x-rays.  She is fine..just an annoying cough

New hair style

Alexis had a rough month...she sprained her right wrist. Thankfully it was not broken.

I organize the prayer team at my church. This was a sign up table to recruit more volunteers,  

We found a birds nest in our attic. Thankfully no eggs.

 Our Feb Adventures....

The kids attended a weekly soccer camp on Saturday mornings.  Indoor-thankfully

We got some snow...only a small amount. But the kids had fun

Valentine's Day party at a friends house

We attended a birthday party at an ice skating rink.  Enjoying some birthday cake.

The indoor soccer place is super cold when you are not playing

Happy Valentine's Day gifts for the kids

Lego creation 

We joined the YMCA in January.  They have a program for kids to learn how to use the machines that are age appropriate.  After training, Cole wanted to see how fast he could run on the treadmill.  11.3 in case you were wondering :)  The two adults on the treadmills on either side were walking.  

Fun BBQ at a friends house

Cole's friend Amy made this for Cole

Lego Club.  James, Amy and Cole

Allen organized the spice drawer.  How lucky am I :)

Book Fair

Last day serving as a Deaconess for my church.  I was on the team for four years and the last two as a co-lead.  We ended on a baptism Sunday which is my favorite.  

We are planning to renovate our master bedroom.  We sold our furniture and moved the bed to see if we prefer this layout.  

Alexis made this from hand prints. She is so creative.

Cole loves working out at the Y

Dentist--he is just so big

January 2025

 Happy 2025!  Pictures to start off the year...

I don't have a lot of pictures...we joined the YMCA again for swim lessons.  Pictures are not permitted in the pool area. So nothing to show there :)  Alexis is continuing her piano and signing lessons weekly.  The kids are in Kindness and Lego club after school.  Cole was sick the last week of January and then the first week of February school was closed due to snow.  We have kept busy organizing and purging the house.  

The kids are in indoor soccer camp on Saturdays.

Cole is in the blue hat

Having fun with our neighbors and their grandkids

Lego Club.  Pyramid theme

Art in Alexis's class.  I led art in Cole's class but he was out sick. So no pictures.

Dad is a hero...took the kids to McDonald's to play

I hope Cole is always this cute

Coloring cookies with Josh

We are organizing and purging. We removed the desk area in the master and moved everything into one area for me.

Work and personal all together

Hope 2025 is going well for you.  We feel blessed.
