Invention Convention

Christian had to make an invention for his 4th grade invention convention.  They all had to be creative and think up something.  Christian came up with this all on his own.  It is a mobile wind powered generator.  The wind blows the front one and then stores the energy to make the back motor work.  It had a motor and everything.  When I was in 4th grade I don't think I was that smart!

My Silly Girl...

These are just random pictures of Chloe taken in the month of February.  I thought they were too cute not to share.  Chloe is so funny and I love every moment that I get to spend with her!

Awards

Reed was honored with another award!  We can't remember what the 7 habits are but he recieved the 7 Habits of Healthy Kids award.  We are so proud of Reed!!

Will you be my Valentine?

Poke a hole in the center and stick a lollipop through the hole.

Cut like a tag, punch a hole, tie cute ribbons and you can tape a heart shaped dove chocolate or conversation heart on the heart.

Have your kids done their Valentines yet?  If not feel free to use these templates.

Reed turns 7!

We celebrated Reed's 7th birthday at Urban Air Friday night.  He loved every minute of his birthday.  I can't believe my baby boy is 7.  How did this happen?

Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo 2012

Chance surprised us last Friday night by taking us to the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.  We had a blast!  The kids were smiling from ear to ear the whole time.  We rode rides, played carnival games, fed animals, and watched the Rodeo.  The rodeo was very entertaining.  Chloe sat the entire time pointing and laughing.

Shocked

Christian's teachers selected him for a math award, (3rd six weeks) and wanted to keep a secret till they called his name.  He was shocked!!!  We are very proud of him.

Santa's cookies and milk (Christian made the cookies)



Boys playing with the new nerf guns.  Grandpa had the most fun!

We sat on this box the whole morning and the kids never asked what it was.  Finally I said, "hey daddy, what are you sitting on," a couple times and finally they looked and got curious...

TRAMPOLINE!

Tea party - Chloe and Mamaw Juju

Look out Hollywood

Chloe's preschool puts on a Christmas program every year.  It starts with the 2 year old department.  This was Chloe's first time to perform on stage.  She was hilarious!  She gave us a little of every emotion during the performance.

Before the show with her fan club!
When we put her dress on her she said this is my magic dress.
Uh-oh, looks like she already knows that girls need to have pretty dresses!

She is laughing very loud!  The two friends next to her are her best friends.

Her she is picking her nose.  Who's kid is that?

Doing her motions correctly.

Chloe and the little girl next to her started playing and looking at each others dresses.

Show's over, sad face!
