February 2016

In February, Evie celebrated her 7th birthday.  They also celebrated the 100th day of school and here she is dressed as a 100 year old lady.  My, she ages well!

 Olivia...eating MY apple in the grocery store.  It kept her quiet.  And seated in the buggy.

These are our caterpillars.  We got them in the mail.

These are the caterpillars turned into chrysalis

And these are the butterflies hatching from the chrysalis.  

Yes, these creatures sat on the kitchen counter for about a month.

For the love of science!!

We had fun watching them morph and then setting them free in the back yard.

Flower Girl!

 

Daddy Daughter Dance.  

Olivia didn't get to go this year.  Maybe next year...

 Lowes Valentine Day craft.  

 Happy Valentine's Day!!

 What a fun month!  Think I'll just chill on the swing now...

January 2016

Happy New Year!  Here's what we have been up to this January...

New Year means learning new chores!  Putting the shopping bags in the bag holder has been the first "chore" for all of the girls.  Olivia is doing a great job!

 Mavery striking a pose before school.

 Happy 35th Birthday Daddy!! 

We enjoyed a lovely dinner and ice cream cake!

 The girls' favorite thing to do outside...dig in the dirt.  

 Evie made the AB honor roll at Milam Elementary for the first 9 weeks of school!

Woo Hoo!

 Mavery headed to school, sporting her valentine's day outfit.

 Olivia sporting her first piggy tails.  You can barely see them, but they're there!

 Evie's dance class performing for the PTO meeting to "Twist and Shout"

 Playtime!

 Olivia showing off her belly while waiting a ridiculously long time at her 15 month check-up.

And that's a wrap for January!

San Antonio

We celebrated the new year in San Antonio with the Morrow side of the family.  We got to see Mike's sister and family, but of course I didn't get any pictures of all the cousins together.  Oops!

One day we went to the children's museum.  The kids had a blast!  The adults were exhausted afterward...

We also went to the caverns and Evie and Mommy did the zip line and ropes course.  I was real proud of Evie that she didn't get scared when we got to the top!

 Where did that ball go??

 Gimme more root beer, Pops!

 Ahhhhh! A Bear!

 Enjoying some puffs and some grandma Susie.

 Selfie in downtown San Antonio.

 Sunday Morning Walk.  Trying for some family photos...

 Daddy camped in the third row of the van and watch Inside Out with the girls on the way home.  Fun times!

 Our three beautiful little senoritas.  

Snow!

The big snow of 2015.  We got a nice powdery snow right before the new year.  The "blizzard" delayed our trip to San Antonio...but we were able to drive instead of fly.  I think Evie enjoyed the snow the most.  She kept begging everyone to stay outside and play with her.  Mavery got cold and Olivia didn't want anything to do with that weird white stuff on the ground!

 Measuring at 6 inches.  In some places, the drifts were about a foot deep.  I was afraid we would loose Mavery in some places!

December 2015

December!  What a full month, but I suppose it is that way every year.  

Evie reading to Olivia EARLY one Saturday morning.  

Evie has done very well with learning to read this year.  We're super proud of her!

Showing off her new boots.

 Olivia officially loves the camera.  Cutie!

 Hanging out in Daddy's office after school, showing off her chocolate pudding face.

 Cheese!

 This is Evie at her school party, asking for MORE Big Red.  I politely told her she would not be having more Big Red.  Look at her face!

 Mike Morrow, I did not hide your hat!

 Starlight Village in Odessa.

 Off she goes!  That's Mavery!

Someday we won't have roll-off dumpsters and port-a-potties lining our street.

 

Mommy making sure Evie's bike was "safe".

 Going for a walk in the neighborhood on Christmas morning with the Hurst boys.

 Nothing like a few silly selfies with Daddy to end a great Christmas Day.
