March 2023

Looking back, March was a good month! We were busy, and we had a lot of family time; which is always needed after the business of football season. 
My cousin, Hannah was in town so we met her for dinner one night! 

Adalyn's soccer games started again. 

And Megan had stunt class each week. 

Gretchen found out that she was accepted to go on our church's mission trip! We started fundraising and made bracelets to sell. 

Adalyn picked out a new outfit and she was so excited that she could wear it to games this Fall, but the girl was ready to wear it now! 

DJ and I went to the Fall Out Boy concert. 

We had Spring Break; Gretchen, my mom, and I went to Washington DC as her 16th birthday trip! I'll share more on that......

When we got back, DJ and I went to get pedicures. 

We had a wedding to attend in Arkansas. 

DJ and the girls danced the night away. 

And Adalyn had a blast collecting all of the party favors! 

When we got back in to town, she went to work with DJ for- take your daughter to work day. 

She even got to have a photo shoot just like the players. 

and take a picture with a Longhorn legend. 

She got autographs. 

She was able to go to practice with DJ, help him run cards, and see what her dad does all day! 

We celebrated Easter with her last egg hunt at church. 

Always thankful for friends who are there too. 

She had another soccer game. 

And got to go have some fun with DJ 

Megan was inducted in to Jr. NHS at her school
I started 75 Hard in March; which meant lots of outdoor workouts on the patio. 

Gretchen went and applied for her passport! 

And Megan and  spent an afternoon shopping. 

She has been babysitting and definitely had some money to spend! 

And at the end of the month, we celebrated Easter! 







The girls still love an egg hunt! 




They spent the afternoon flying kites. 


How blessed we are.

February 2024

February was a quick month. I was looking back at pictures to share and we didn't really have that many!!! 
I'm sure it was marked with a few warm days, because Adalyn' swearing short sleeves. She also figured out that she could hook Gabby up to her scooter and she basically had a dog sled, and she loved that! 

We went out to eat, and these girls were getting along great. It was also at this time, that I freaked out, because I thought a waitress was actually stuck in the cooler room behind us and had a slight panic attack. Then I realized she could get out and I felt like a fool. It was definitely not my brightest moment. 

Gretchen decided to get curtain bangs! 

And all the girls were matcing one day in their tennis skirts. I love their friendship. 

I convinced DJ to repaint our bedroom! Turns out I actually picked the exact same color- with a little added glossiness, and we added a black feature wall. 

We also bought new chairs for the living room and I was so thankful to have some matching furniture pieces. 

More dog-sled rides. 

and sweet time with this girl 

Gretchen tried out for dance team and made it!!!!! 

We were so proud of her!

We mailed lots of orders out for our bracelet shop. 

Gretchen and I had some 1:1 time in downtown Austin at the library after she had a doctor's appointment. 



Megan made 8th grade cheer!!! 


And DJ and Gabby had way too much fun playing together right at bedtime.
