February Break

I love having this full week off in the middle of February! All three counties that I've taught in have this break, so I count myself very lucky. We had a good break- lots of chill time, date night, birthday parties, basketball trainings, hanging with friends, basketball games... most of which I didn't take any pics! But here are some things we did:

Taylor Basketball: her team won their league championship!

This 4th and 5th grade team played up in the 6th grade division and went 10-0!

They selected Taylor as Tournament MVP!

Stephen made a cool video of the team (see below- broken into4 parts). Her team was on fire, and there were only 6 of them there! Taylor had 17 of her team's 35 points, plus many rebounds, steals and assists. Super proud of her and her team.

Post-game celebration:

Sleepover/movies with friends:

Kerrigan came to dinner!

Dave and Busters:

Parker got braces!

Taylor- trampoline park with friends:

Sydney:

Sydney spent one day with her friend, Bella, at her sister's softball tournament south of Atlanta. On the way home, they stopped by this school, which is where they film some show the girls love.

Nashville!

We went to Nashville a couple of weekends ago to see one of Stephen's work partners, who was in town for a concert with his family. Our families had never had a chance to meet each other (they live in St. Louis), so we took advantage of their trip to see them!

It was fun- we didn't get up until late Saturday night due to Parker's playoff basketball game. We met them for dinner as we drove in, which was fun. They have two girls, 6th and 8th grade, and ours are 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades. We spent the night with my brother for the weekend, and we didn't get to bed until 2 AM our time Saturday night, catching up with my brother, his wife, and nieces!

Sunday, we hung out at my brother's house until about lunch time. Stephen, the girls and I went to a cool lunch spot together. We went to the Opryland Hotel to do a tour with the business buddies. (Parker tagged along with his cousin, Ava, to go to a trampoline park). That night, we went to their rental house to watch the Super Bowl! We left Monday morning to head back home.

It was a fun whirlwind of a weekend, but it was fun, and we did get a day off of work/school that Monday. :)

Parker konked out after his big game!

Ava!

Playing in Uncle Bill's game room.

Lunch with the girls

Opryland!

Superbowl- doing the squares

For some reason, they all wanted to arm wrestle each other. ;)

My brother's house gets the coolest animal visitors. These were some massive turkets.

Buc-ees!

January!

January went by in a flash! Keeping up with basketball (Taylor and Parker), volleyball (Sydney), work, and kids' social lives seemed to dominate our month. Here are some of our memories!

Parker's team won the holiday basketball tournament!
