Reese is 7!

Reese turned 7! Wow! But first, an update on another one of Soren's activities.

Soren’s ToT (Teams of Tomorrow) Performance

Soren was chosen to be on a team to do a half time performance at the high school basketball game. I have to say, I was impressed. I really didn’t know that she could do this!

Reese’s 7^th Birthday Celebrations

We began celebrating Reese’s 7^th birthday last weekend at Grandma’s house. Grandma baked a princess castle cake and had a piñata filled with candy and money! Score! Thanks for planning such a special surprise for Reese, Grandma!

On Friday Reese had a party with her friends and neighbors. She chose a gymnastics party and it was one of the most fun parties we have had! Lots of playing, running, jumping, spinning, eating…great combination!

Winter Fun

Reese swam her first swim meet! I forgot how adorable the 8 and under swim meets are! Those tiny kids racing through the water...it is so much fun. Reese kicked butt. She got 1st or 2nd place in all of her races except the 50 free. She got a big DQ on that one because she did not touch the wall when she flip turned. Way to go Reese!











A Texas Snow. Last week was a first for us. We had 57 degrees on Monday, followed by an ice storm on Tuesday, which is not unusual for Texas, but the kids have been out of school for an entire week now! Tuesday through Friday we were out because the roads were icy, but now we are out because the school flooded from a pipe that busted in the library. I say we call this school year a wash and skip to summer! We had a good snow on Friday that made for some outside fun...






Cousin Time. It warmed up enough this weekend to melt the ice off of the roads so we met the cousins at the skating rink. It was so nice to get out after being in the house for 5 days!
