March Misc. & MY GIRL CARRIE!

Braxton loves scouts and learning new things, and hanging with his buddies. He got his Wolf!

St. Patrick’s Day Bailey had nothing green except for a sweet T her cousin Dylan left out our house – so she rocked it!

Sidewalk Chalk Fun!

Chris took this pic and it was too cool not to post…

Uhhhhhh Bailey, I think your Doc McStuffins costume is a bit too small now...

Guess who Amanda & I got to hang out with? OUR GIRL CARRIE! Well, by “hanging out with” I mean have a girl’s night out at her show and push our way almost to the front of the pit. The only thing between us and Carrie was some dumb chick and her sugar daddy there on a first date who DIDN’T KNOW ANY OF THE SONGS! CRIME AGAINST COUNTRY MUSIC! I am convinced Carrie Underwood is an alien, by the way. No human can sing that perfect for HOURS and not miss a single pitch! The show was absolutely amazing and so was the company and the killer pre-concert sushi dinner! Can’t wait to do it again! Love you little sis!!!

 

Random February...

February has been a fun month!

One of Bailey's favorite things to do is to go out to lunch with Rich and I while the big kids are at school. I know we won't get to do this much longer so we take full advantage! SHe can put down a basket of wings!

She might even love Daddy Dates more than Mom & Dad Lunches though! This one was a Daddy Breakfast Date :)

The kids always celebrate their 100th day of school. This year Braxton's class celebrated the 101st day of school with a 101 Dalmatians theme. Braxton was being a smart A making fun of the theme and the dumb hat and was ticked that I didn't delete this pic! BAHAAA!

Kenzie went to a birthday party at an art studio! They all painted these really cool canvases! She thought ahead and painted it to match her bathroom! LOVE IT!!!

Braxton got to make and race his first pinewood derby car! It looked SO COOL and he worked really hard on it buuuuuut it was lacking in the speed department a bit. He was... less than thrilled that he didn't win many races. You can tell by the look on his face in the second pic. The last pic was a ridiculously forced smile too! He did win sportiest car though! Poor kid! Better luck next year buddy!

Kenzie has worked SO hard on her clarinet this year. She decided to compete in Solo & Ensemble. Her solo score was a I which is the highest score! So proud of her!!!

 

Cousins & Snow for Valentines & ZDAY!

We got a SUPER fun visit from Mike, Ragen, Hunter, Amanda, Chris, Rilea, Dylan & Barrett for Valentines Day & Mac's Birthday (ZDAY)!!! I am SO grateful Mike and the kids drove all the way up! We haven't seen them in far too long! And I am SO grateful Amanda and Chris and the kids got to come over and play with us too!!!

Grandma Smith sent a fun Valentines package for all the cousins!

Kenz picked Monkey Joes bounce house warehouse for her fun day. She had her BFF Maddie come play too. They had SO much fun!

Amanda's birthday gift to Kenz... Her first real MANICURE!!! She was OVER THE MOON!!! Amanda and I always joke that Kenz, my girlie girl, was born to the wrong mom and should've been Amanda's! LOL! Instead Amanda just gets to be the way cooler than mom aunt :)

Can't believe my baby girl is DOUBLE DIGITS! McKenzie is such an amazing girl and we are so blessed to be her mom and dad! She is kind, compassionate, so smart, a great sister, a crack up, and an overall beautiful girl! We are so proud of all she has accomplished and all she is becoming.
 We love you sweet girl!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Cousin time = Dress Ups, Wrestling with Uncle Rich, Snuggling Barrett, & SNOWMAN BUILDING!

Thank you SO Much Mike, Amanda, Chris, & Cousins for making this a weekend we will never forget! WE LOVE YOU!!!
