Spring Break 2018

 I am so thankful that we had a fantastic week in the Dominican Republic.  It was a much needed break from our busy schedules.  We loved the water, sand and warm weather!  So thankful for amazing family time and relaxation!

Fancy drinks before hitting the beach!

Nightly entertainment....The STARS of the Show!

Happy Anniversary to this guy!  He gifted himself with a fishy pedicure!  NO WAY!

Pool dive then a wreck dive and a coral reef!  

The grounds of our resort were breathtaking!

The girls tried Scuba for the first time and LOVED it!   So thankful for their adventurous spirit!  Lots of fun to be had in the upcoming years!   Now on to their open water certifications!

My Birthday!

My favorite cake from Rick's Bakery!

So thankful for all of the love in my life!  This year was again celebrated with my  family!  I received lots of love in the mail and via text!  Another year to celebrate all God has in store for me!  

Homework

Mia killing homework!  She is an excellent student that continues to grow and learn!

2018-19 FJHS Cheerleader!

This girl has worked her tail off to excel at cheer this year.   She has been on a competitive team this school year and tried out for Junior High cheer on Friday 3-16.  I am proud to announce that we have a school cheerleader in our house!  It is fun to watch her work really hard at a sport she loves and continue to succeed!   Thankful for her determination and spirit!

Tax Day!

Today S. had an assistant as he worked on our taxes!  She LOVED every second of organizing receipts and helping him add up deductions!   Maybe she will be a CPA?!?  That would mean we would never have to do our own taxes EVER again!

Not Participating...

Wacky Day for this one too!   However, she didn't want to participate! *sigh*

Wacky Day

Wacky day at school!  She can somehow pull off this look and still look cute!  

Valentine's Day 2018

Mia made us a 3-D card.  It was so creative and thoughtful.  She followed it up with 2 HUGE balloons.  

Gorgeous roses from S.  He sure knows how to make me feel loved.  

Ansley's homemade Valentine's to us!  So sweet!  These girls know how to make us feel appreciated!

Then that very special box from Minonk arrived!   Nothing like Minonk Chocolates and candy from G-pa and Kim.  Thank you for all the treats.  We sure feel the love!

Homework....

I am so thankful for little girls that value their education.  They complete homework without having to be asked!  All of their hard work pays off!  These girls are excellent students that continue to soar in their learning!

Braces OFF!

Last picture with her braces!   

Her forever beautiful smile.  Jan. 15, 2018
