RIP Billy Bob Joe

Our poor little fishy of two years went the way of all the earth.  We even had a funeral service for him at the toilet.  These are the pictures I took of him when I noticed he started to become a little...shall we say sickly.

For you kiddos!

Rest in peace Billy Bob Joe!

My New Talent...not really

I LOVE tax return time.  Especially this year!  Tony and I bought new couches for our front room, and they definitely needed it.  But then, I got in a bit of a groove.  I decided to redecorate the whole room.  Of course, I'm a tight wad, so I had to do it cheap.  Thanks to a lot of help from Kayla, I redid the room and it looks SO much better!

Desk before...

Desk After!

I love my new front room.  Of course, I bought some new things.  The decor doesn't look like this anymore, but I do have my new couches!!

Feeling the Love

My kids are later gators at school.  They don't have to be there until 9:15 a.m.  I love this schedule!  Especially because I have my kids do their homework before school.  I get them fresh, instead of after school when they're completely drained.  SMART, I know!  So these are my little babies in the morning.

Melt my heart!

Our Scientist

Jace is a man of many interest.  He loves the outdoors, has a thing for History, and apparently has now broadened his spectrum of interest to SCIENCE.  Jace participated in the Science Fair this year at school.

His project was called "The Coldest Cup"  

He was testing the cups to find which cup would keep ice from melting the longest.  

And.....tada...

He won at his school!!  He was so stinkin' proud.  He called me from school (10 minutes before school got out) just to let me know that he won!!  

This is Jace at the DISTRICT COMPETITION.  

We are so proud of our little man!

Big Boy Jace...he loves it when we call him that...

Baby Jace turned 11.  I'm kind of loving this year, because it's the odd year birthday parties.  Only one person over for the party, and it's just a family party.  WAY easier!

Of course, he picked Brycen.  We went to Texas Roadhouse and out to a movie.  Easy-peasy!

Happy B-Day, Pacerbob!

Scheels Photo Op

I don't know about anyone else, but apparently our favorite thing to do at Scheels is take pictures of ourselves.  They have like six million photo stops.  Way too much fun for my kids to pass up!

Goofballs!

Let It Snow

My little ninos love the beginning of winter.  After a bit, the novelty wears off and they miss their bikes and trampoline, but until then, we are happy sledders.

It's especially nice that our best friends live next door.  They can see us playing outside and immediately we have more kiddos to play with :)  We love it!!

And of course, sledding with our friends, the Everetts.  Three out of my four kids have an Everett child that is the same age.  Poor Kenters!  Thankfully, he doesn't mind playing alone.
