March 2025

March started off with lots of soccer practices during the week and soccer games during the weekend. 

We somehow managed to have another day date. 

And more soccer...

Spring break got started, and Gretchen was off to Hawaii with her dance team!!! 

They spent a few days exploring and were able to perform at Pearl Harbor! 

While she was off, our friends got engaged!!! 

A quick picture before their performance...

And then I got sick and stayed on the couch for a few days while DJ took these girls camping. 

They hiked and explored Pedernales Falls. 

I felt a smidge better and thought I could drive over for the day and join them, which I did.. but that afternoon I knew I didn't feel well enough to spend the night so I drove back home and spent more time on the couch. 

The girls were able to explore some more with DJ. 

And Gretchen came home with a sunburn from her trip! 

They had one more day camping before coming home. 

And then we all went to watch the Texas women compete in March Madness. 

Adalyn got a gift from her boyfriend! 

And Megan was doing who knows what, but she always makes us laugh and smile. 

I had another mom's night out with my monthly girls dinner club. 

And we finished off the month with more soccer! 

 

February 2025

I always say that January and February tend to be slow months for our family. We usually spend the time recovering from football season and getting life back to normal. 

Megan cheered at her last middle school basketball games. 

Adalyn and I were there to watch. 

Gretchen's dance competition season started- so we went to her school to watch the showcase. 

DJ and I had a date night to see Justin Timberlake! 

And a Valentine's day date for lunch out and a walk around Town Lake. 

I started a monthly girls dinner club and had our first one at The Goat in February. 

And we spent a full day at dance competition watching Gretchen compete. 

 

April

April started off with Megan's middle school production of Mean Girls. Her friend came to see the play too! 

Megan decided to work the tech side and help with costumes for the play. 

She also had her 7th grade dance and went with one of her besties! 

It was back to soccer for Adalyn! We went to San Antonio for a tournament. 

She got to have some 1:1 time with me. DJ came down later with the camper! We bought her crocs and took her out for dinner. She thoroughly enjoyed the weekend away 

Gretchen and her friends went outside to watch the eclipse. 

And Adalyn had culture night at her school She was in the dance club at school, and they learned a Hawaiin dance to perform. 

She also performeed a dance with the song from Coco. 

We had another market with Pearly Girls. 

Gretchen was inducted in to the National Honor Society at school. 

I was so proud of this girl! 

And then we were off to the Spring game! 

The girls had a blast playing games at Bevo Blvd. 

And of course we had to get a family picture on the field. 

The girls with Arch Manning. 

and with Quinn. 

Smokey the Cannon. 

Megan joined the track team and through discus and ran hurdles. 

Gretchen went with her friends to the choir banquet at school. 

The youth group at church had a bake sale for their mission trip, and it was so great to see Gretchen talking to everyone about the trip. 

DJ and I had date night to see Fall Out Boy 

And these two got sweet and cuddly. I love having a front row seat to their sisterhood.
