Goodbye to Mr. Josh

January 20, 2019

Mr. Josh has an amazing children's leader at CBC during Asher's time at Kids Day Out and most recently the Kindergarten leader that Asher is with every single weekend.  We are so sad to see him go and wishing him the very best.

100-day Paper Chain

January 14, 2019

On New Years Eve, I made the mistake of telling Asher he would turn 6 in the New Year and so he thought it happened January 1 and started asking everyday if it was his birthday!!  One day he asked and we were at exactly 100 days away so decided to make a paper chain so he would see exactly how far away it was!!!  He hasn't asked about his birthday again, he just patiently takes off another chain each morning.  :)

Texas weather in January has been incredible and we are spending as much time outside as possible!

While Ella was standing at the top of the rock wall, Asher was covering his eyes, saying "Sissy, I can't watch!!"

An Elevator in the Trees

The kids were playing outside and the next thing I knew, Asher was calling me outside to see the "elevator" that Ella had made.  It was quite impressive!!  I love all the ropes they have hanging in this group of trees and all the fun creations they make.

One more week off

January 7, 2018

After the new year, we still had an entire week off before school started!  It felt so much longer than usual, especially with no trips or vacations planned and we really enjoyed that downtime and soaked in slower days of no homework or after school activities.  The kids spent lots of time at different neighbors houses and we did some fun things away from the house too.  These are a few snippets of our week!

Thin Air with friends - had so much fun playing dodgeball with the kids!

Time at home and so much going on at this one dining table: art, monopoly game and a 2,000 piece puzzle!

Family dinner at Chuy's

And date night for Michael and I

Dinner and S'mores at the Campfire

Guadalupe River State Park

Football in the front yard

And hard work on our up and coming field!!! 

Michael had thrown out the idea of clearing out this area and making it a field.  As soon as he mentioned it, it made perfect sense to me because this space wasn't used and had only a few small, ugly trees that I never liked anyway...cedar and weesatche.  Because we have SO many amazing oak and elm trees in our front yard, I loved the idea of having an open green space as well.  Before I knew it, Michael had chainsawed down all the tress and there was no turning back!  He loved having time for the hands on work and we are all super excited.  Now its time to turn it over to the professionals and make this a real field!
