Dance Clinics and Gordy's 4th Birthday party!

We signed Maggie up for another dance clinic, this time it was held at St. Pius X high school (where Brian went to high school).  This clinic was just one afternoon with an evening halftime performance at the women's basketball game.
Maggie had a blast, of course.  The basketball game was pretty fun to watch as well.


Passing the time making silly faces


and more silly faces...


Finally it was Maggie's turn to do her performance


Maggie did great and had so much fun!



Even cousin Olivia was there to perform, as well.
So fun watching these girls dance together!


Later that weekend we went to Belton to celebrate Gordon's 4th birthday.
It was a superhero theme and Aunt Tiff did a great job with the decorations and party favors.
The kids had a blast!

We had to keep little ol' Eli at home cause he had a little fever the day before, but Colin and Maggie had a lot of fun celebrating with Gordon!

Superheroes standing on the couch!


Playing pin the batman logo on Batman




They even had a really cool climbing wall to play on


So many little kiddos there - it was such a great party!

And the next days to follow we had a whole lot of this....going on at our house

January ordinary days

Just figured I hadn't put up any new pictures in a while so I thought I'd find some on my phone to add on the blog!


Colin's newest artwork creation from school:
I love his creativity!  Pikachu on his one shoulder and a soccer ball on the other...



Maggie's newest artwork creation: This is her representation of Saint Therese.
She looks lovely!



Eli and I being silly on Snapchat one night...



We got a little bit of snow one evening so the kids were super excited to get out there and play!
Colin is so patient with Eli - they played outside for quite some time!


Throwing snowballs at the kitchen windows!



Eli came in from playing outside - demanding a banana.
Look at his poor red cheeks!
He was pretty cold but had a blast out in the snow!



Maggie decided she wanted to try Gymnastics instead of Soccer this spring.
She started going to class last week and is loving it!
She is really strong and has already learned some pretty tough gymnastics moves!


We went out to dinner to celebrate the kids' good report cards


Of course I couldn't get a good picture - but we had a nice meal and are so proud of the kids for trying really hard in school!
