Happy Valentine's Day!

The kids were all smiles on Valentine's Day - excited to give Mommy her big balloon!  Well, some were all smiles.  Trevor doesn't love pics ;) 

Ashley on the other hand is a first-take wonder!

The kids left us a message!

Ashley had a little party at school!  

Daddy got to go for the ice cream party!

Mommy went to Trevor's party!  Hmmm...now he smiles with his buddy Cooper!

Oh Mayah ;)  Trevor was impressed that he got a special delivery Valentine from everyone in our house - even Toby!!

The room parents did a great job with the party!  Even had the Mr. and Mrs. Left Right game - Valentine version!

And Bingo!

Ashley was so excited to get home after Mommy picked her up so she could see what she got!

Pretty girl!

Trevor Starts Hockey!

The Dallas Stars have a Learn to Play hockey program here in NWA.  For $80 you get all the hockey equipment you need (skates, stick, gloves, breezers, pads, jersey, helmet, bag, everything!!) and 6 one hour lessons!  Our neighbor helps run it so he told us about it and luckily we got in.  Spots are hard to come by as you can imagine.  Did we mention you get to keep all the equipment too?!?!  

 

We've skated a few times this winter but he is most comfortable along the boards!

Not for long!  He was out there like a champ!

At the end he was all smiles and said he LOVES playing hockey.  Can't wait to see how he progresses over the next few weeks!!  He sure looks like he can be a hockey player - sweat and all!

Three Billy Goats Gruff

Mommy has been wanting to take Ashley to the Trike Theater on the Bentonville Square for some time and we finally got to go!  It's this little gem of a place that has little interactive learning shows!  We had a great time and afterward Ashley declared she wants to be an actress!  Should we tell her they have acting classes LOL

January Happenings

We certainly started 2018 off with a bang in the Dominican Republic and the fun continued all month long!  First up, a going away lunch for Alexis :( 

We see the most beautiful sunsets from our backyard!

Skating on the Bentonville square with neighbor friends:

Swinging:

Love the ClassDojo app for keeping up on what Trevor is doing at school!

On the snow day after Martin Luther King Day, Trevor's friend Mayah invited him to jump at High Rise then go out for a late lunch.  Trevor couldn't wait to get out of the house with the sickies!  And her Mom knew that Mommy and Ashley had been diagnosed with the flu but still said he could go because she would have already been exposed to it the past Saturday when Trevor went to her birthday party.

Well the following week we reciprocated and brought Mayah to CPE's Spirit Night at Chuck E Cheese.  Mommy happened to look up and see that Trevor was holding her purse!  He's going to make the best husband one day!

One day when Mommy and Ashley were coming home from dance we found Daddy and Trevor out for a run/hovercart ride!  Gotta take advantage of the nice weather when we have it!

Bitty Baby always has to match Ashley!  Aren't they the cutest dancers?

A special little treat with Mommy one day!  

We love the library!  Ashley loves the carts :)

Cheer!

Ashley loves learning DVDs.  Girl is getting smart!

When Daddy was sick the kids and Sophia escaped to the movies to see Paddington 2!

Trevor is starting the Learn to Skate program through the Dallas Stars so one night he picked up his gear.  For the cost of $80 he gets 6 one hour lessons and all the gear - skates, pads, jersey, helmet, stick....everything he needs except a mouth guard!  CRAZY!!  It will be good for him to learn to skate and if it becomes more than that then we'll figure out.  He's excited!!

On Tuesdays and Thursdays when we are home Ashley takes special care of Toby.  Here she is using Trevor's back scratcher on him.  #spoileddoggie

Kids had their dental cleaning appointments.  No cavities!!!

And a few pictures of Ashley from school!  This one was the day she and a friend got to have a special lunch in the classroom with their teacher.  She talked about it for a week!  She loves Mrs. Kylie!

And note who is always together - Ashley and Bria!!!  Good thing they are both going to CPE for kindergarten!!!!
