Heading on a field trip "to college" as he said - the class went to see a play at ECU and only two parents per class were allowed so I didn't get to go :( 

Jessica came to town and we had a fun afternoon eating lunch and shopping!  I also got to see Winfield for the first time since Christmas! 

Playing with Browns after school and enjoying the warm weather 

Mason the Monkey, Ella's class mascot, got to spend the weekend with us

Life Lately - Valentines and Missions

Monday

Getting my Valentines goodies ready 

Corey also got the kids a little something to leave in their seats - Corey wrote the kids each a note and told them how proud he was of them.  Caleb cried when he read his - he really does have such a sweet heart!

Tuesday - Valentines Day

Coffee and chocolate for me! 

Happy to find their goodies waiting for them at breakfast

Ready for school 

I got myself a treat - heart shaped biscuit! 

I went to Caleb's Valentine party 

With his goody bag full of Valentines 

Doing her reading HW after school - she looked so growny!

With their goodies from Mammy's house - she spoils us all! 

Valentines Day was also the 100th day of school so Ella celebrated all day.

Ella's hat says "I want 100 bunnies" 

Our Valentines tradition - heart shaped quesadillas for dinner 

Corey cooked dinner and cleaned up - win for me!

Kent got mom flowers and wrote the sweetest note

Mom's first Valentines without dad so Kent wanted to make sure it was special!  He's a keeper!

Wednesday 

Little mama always has a few babies to take care of 

Silly kids! 

Friday

Caleb came down dressed and ready for school - He was so excited to wear Granddaddy's Tshirt to school and take some of his golf balls to show his friends.  He misses him so much! 

Ella and her buddy Micah at lunch 

Me and my buddy Caleb at lunch - with one of his friends giving him bunny ears.  Caleb always picks the same kids when I got to lunch with him yet Ella always picks someone different. 

Saturday

The Whitakers stayed with us this weekend for the Missions conference at church- we all went to cheer Caleb on at his Upward basketball game 

Then headed to Luke's birthday party at Air U - Ella loved bouncing Ethan! 

Sweet friends 

This girl isn't scared of anything! 

Caleb and his buddy Luke - what a fun party!

Sunday

Some of the teens came over after church to play and go 4 wheeling - they got a little muddy! 

We also played Knock Out... 

...and a game of flag football! 

Such a nice day with some of my favorite girls! 

It was crazy yet sweet weekend with the Whitakers staying with us - pray for them as they travel to Jordan to witness to the Syrian refugees! 

Some of the girls before we said goodbye!

It was a crazy week, my house is a complete wreck but I know the memories will last forever and one day my house will be clean again!
