Trevor LOVES hockey

Trevor is really, really, really loving hockey with the Dallas Stars Learn to Play program.  And today, on the 6th and last practice a few retired Dallas Stars came to help lead their practice!
He has come such a long way in these 6 practices.  
Ashley staying warm during practice since she forgot her coat!
Our boy is quick!!
In races he is usually first!  
What a great program!  We will have to see what's next for Trevor in hockey, he knows for sure he wants to join a team!  Exciting!!

Ashley Starts Sporting Jr. Academy!

Ashley has been doing NWA Happy Feet (Legends) at her preschool once a week since the beginning  of school this year but she was ready for something more.  So when Mommy learned that she could join Jr. Academy with Sporting where brother plays and they both practice at the same time and location, decision was made!   She was so excited to go shopping for a pink ball, pink cleats and wanted pink socks but mean Mommy made her get black like the Academy kids wear!  She calls this her soccer pose!
She did great!  

The Academy boys didn't have practice that night because of the rain and Jr. Academy had the gym but Coach Jacob told Trevor to come anyway.  He got some personalized attention all practice :)
Every week, same pose and smile!  This girl likes every single activity.  Not sure how she is going to pick next year!

February Happenings

Another busy busy month for the Hillins household.  Although we are busy we are all having fun!  Starting with Toby's annual exam - fatty needs to go on a diet!!!
We started putting little heart affirmations on the kids doors on 2/1.  Later that day we found surprise heart affirmations on our door from the kiddos!!  Made our day!
Bowling with soccer buds!
Superbowl party for The First Tee.  
It was fun but it was snowing out so the kids just wanted to get home and play in the snow so we stayed from about 3:30-5:15.  
Miss Sandy at Mommy's gym surprised Ashley with a beautiful quilt that she made to keep her warm as she waits for Mommy.  If you ask Ashley her favorite color right now, it's 'rainbow' and she colors everything in a rainbow pattern so this quilt is beyond perfect for our princess.  Such a thoughtful gesture.  Ashley even wrote Miss Sandy the sweetest thank you note :)
Ashley's favorite toys these days - baby Lulu and Toby!
Hard to see but we've been having a lot of boys stop by wanting to play and allowing Trevor to bring friends home on the bus for afternoon play dates.  Gotta get them in before activities start back up!
Burrito Toby!
Toby getting all the love!
One day was declared a snow day here because some sidewalks around some of the Bentonville schools had ice.   Ashley's preschool follows the Rogers school calendar so she still had school so Trevor and Mommy had a special day.  His request?  He wanted Mommy to get a pedicure so that he could sit in the massage chair!  OK!
On this snow day Sophia's parents needed Sara to watch her in the afternoon because of work.  She was excited to get a little time with just Trevor before we went to get Ashley from school.  Sophia surprised Ashley with a special valentine!

Later that night we finally got around to building our Trader Joe's special gingerbread house!
Then on Tuesday Sophia's nanny got in a car accident so Sara rushed over to her bus stop to get her off the bus and play until her Daddy got home from work!  
Play date with Mayah!
And some of the neighborhood boys!
Trevor spent his Toys r Us gift card on a giant teddy bear that he dressed in his jammies!
School pic day!  Stinker took off his shirt though for the actual picture and just wore his polo shirt.  ARGH!!!  Boys!!!  Can't wait to see the official pic!
Ashley requested a slushie to help her throat stop hurting!
Trevor had a sleepover at his friend Cooper's house! 
Ashley had been saying for a few days that she had a Cheez It stuck in her teeth.  Turns out it is a new back molar, not a Cheez It!
Sporting soccer started back up and because of all of the rain they have to use the indoor facility for practices!  No complaints from Mommy :)
Daddy and Trevor worked hard on his First Communion banner!
Another playdate means a special treat!
Cheers!  Trevor and Mabry!
More hockey!  He gets better and more confident every week!  
Plus he loves it!  He asked Daddy to take him to open skate one Sunday!
While Mommy used the bathroom, Ashley wrote her name in the floor!
We took a drive after church one day to find where Sam Walton was buried and to thank him for everything he did for Walmart and retail and Northwest Arkansas!
Guess what?  Sam and Mommy were both born on March 29!!
Decorated for Valentine's Day!
Got out the Easter decorations and saw that Ashley's feet have grown quite a bit in 2 years from when she was a mini-3 at La Casa!
Easter decorations!  Really need to fill in the built-ins!
For our neighbor Mark's birthday present, Trevor came up with the idea of gifting him a memory of 2 hours of jump time at High Rise plus treats!  Not sure who loved it more - Mommy, Trevor or Mark!
Always want to remember how Trevor loves to play the games at the Allergist while getting his allergy shots.  He usually finds a new friend to play with too!!!
