A March Update

My life is all in a tangle right now with work and what I need to do/ should do/ can do to ease the stress. This has been ongoing for weeks & weeks and I've let the blog slide unfortunately. I'm going to just do another photo round up here to show signs of life & adventure in March. Hopefully I'll be back to a more regular blogging schedule soon. 

Until then, here are some March updates. 

To kick off the month, Avery had a dance competition!

Grandma Chips made her a jean jacket for Spring! 

And she lost a tooth! 

Noah has LOVED riding his dirt bike and has really gotten into a good groove. 

He brought home a circuit experiment kit & showed us how it all worked. He tested various items (straw, dime, screw, lego) and had to identify if the item was a conductor or insulator. It was so fun to watch him explain things & test the items!

Noah & Aaron went to a dirtbike race one weekend, and Michael and Avery spent the day with Grandma Chips before coming home to me. She took them to one of their favorite parks!

Puppies love sunny naps! 

One Sunday morning brought blankets of fog and rain. 

I was so surprised to see a tulip in the flower bed! 

We took the kids to the Supercross race in Birmingham to kick off their Spring Break! This was such a fun day! 

Aaron & I took two days off to go do fun things with the kids during their first part of the week off. One of those days we took them ice skating. (Michael was there & very bravely went around the rink but I didn't get a picture). 

Aaron rented a skater helper for the kids which eased their nervousness--this was their first time ice skating! In the end, they loved it. We went to a Chinese buffet for lunch at Michael's recommendation and it didn't disappoint!

That evening, Aaron made turkey calls in the front yard to the dogs' confusion. :) 

The next day, we took the kids to a local memorial park and walked around the trails. 

Later that day, we met up with Aaron's dad at the bowling alley! 

The next few days, the kids spent time with my parents and my nephews (who were spending the week with my parents). On Friday, I took a half day off and joined my mom to take the kids to a nearby nature center. We walked on a trail and then looked inside at some displays. 

Then we went to a local ice cream stop and enjoyed some time outside! 

It was a good (and busy!) month when I stop and remember all the good things that have happened outside of work. And honestly, those are the things that matter the most. 

Until Next Time, 

Much Love, Reba

Hello, February

Time escaped me again. To catch up, I'll do a photo recap of January & the first half of February.  

We've had some cool sunrises. This one looked like the sky was divided into sections. 

Avery lost a tooth!

We had one day of (minimal) snow flurries. My kids took advantage as much as they could! 

Aaron & I love to take our dogs on a walk in the evenings. He's trained them to "heel" on his heels. 

Avery earned a free personal pizza for her grades, so Aaron & I ordered some other ones for the rest of us and we had a movie night to watch The Wild Robot (so cute!).  

Since Noah's birthday weekend was so cold, we picked a nicer weekend to take him to Auburn and eat lunch & play mini golf (his choices!) It was such a fun day! 

Avery had dance photos one weekend & she was trying on her gemmed-out jazz shoes the night before! 

"Special Snack" at school means crazy colored candy. 

I love to capture moments of their daddy daughter times. 

My sister-in-law gave me a Woobles crochet kit & I LOVED working on it! The kids loved watching & helping. This is our Labrador Wooble that Avery named Leo (the package calls it Buster). 

Speaking of Labradors...  our Labrador/Rhodesian Ridgebacks are goofy... and also photogenic. Depends on the day. And the dog. 

After school, my kiddos love to enjoy a snack & watch a show at my parents' house. 

And that's a life update through photos! 

Until Next Time, 

Much Love, Reba
