Catching Up - January Happenings

January came and went so quickly! I thought I would post a few pics from my phone to try and catch up!

The week after Christmas we bought Keegan a corner tv stand for an old tv we had. It's perfect for his PlayStation gaming, and on this particular night, the Lego Movie. (note the Star Wars original movie posters framed on his wall.  Keegan is about all things Lego right now. He found these at Hobby Lobby and begged for them for days.)

Ava is loving her new desk. We painted a cork board to hang above and it completes her perfect little creative station :-)

Ava's elementary hosted an incoming kindergarten story and craft time the first week back from break. Keegan has several little buddies from t-ball and soccer (and little siblings of Ava's friends) that will be in his grade next year. He had a blast running around the library with all of them. 

 Ava and I have been cheering every weekend the last 6 weeks. Here are some pics before her first game day. My heart almost couldn't handle it. 

She is having the best time cheering and dancing and she's blown me away with how fast she's learned everything. It's the sweetest time sharing this with her. 

Just for fun.... My senior year squad circa 2001. Cheer was such a big part of my life for many years. 

Ava's school hosted bingo night a few weeks ago and the kids had the best time! They enjoyed their friends and they both won good prizes. We couldn't believe the luck they were having with their bingo cards!

Ava sent her Flat Stanley cut out to San Antonio to visit our cousins in the hill country and he had so many adventures! He came back in a souvenir t shirt and Ava worked hard writing about each picture they sent and she was so proud of her final product :-)

The kids started Awana at church last month and we are working hard to memorize scriptures. This chalkboard from my best friend Amy sure helps throughout the week!

They meet for 2 hours on Sunday evenings and have the best time learning and playing. 

And lastly, we celebrated Grandmama's 89th birthday on January 24th. We had a great party and dinner. We are so thankful for this beautiful lady!
