March!!!!

For March 3, 2014

So... I finally completely missed the daily picture of the school year for the first time.  :(   This is the next night but she is wearing the shirt she wore to school the day before.  We were treated to a Baylor Lady Bears Basketball game the weekend before by a super sweet couple we met at a craft show and Mia absolutely *had* to wear the t-shirt to school the next day.  I told Ben we were going to have to take her to a Bama game or she might just turn into a Baylor-ite by default!  LOL

Studying for her first spelling test!!!  

I made flash cards with both the words and all the letters that made up the words so she would have all different ways to study for her test: Sight, Touch and Memory.

Spirit Day: Storybook Character

We got Mia a set of Ramona Quimby books for Christmas (Ramona was one of my favorites when I was little) and she and Ben have been reading through them at bedtime.  I was so excited when she told me she wanted to be Ramona for storybook character day!

March 7-11

SPRING BREAK!!!

We went up to Hot Springs, AR to meet my mom and all my siblings for the weekend before spring break.  

We had such a great visit!

First day of Tball - Spring Season!!!

Mia decided she wanted to play tball again!  

Her team color is Purple and there are 6 girls/3 boys and both of her coaches seem very sweet. 

It's going to be a fun season!

Spring and Classroom Picture Day!

So far behind...

I am so far behind on blogging.  With tons of school stuff and gearing up for another craft show I'll catch up soon but probably not this week.

We've had about 3 weeks of sickness around here including Mia's first ever ear infection which has been resistant to antibiotics so far.  We are heading back for our third doctors appointment this afternoon.  She was able to return to school yesterday (finally 24 hours without a fever) but she still can't hear very well.  :(  She cracks me up about her school.  She felt terrible but was still upset with me because I "made her lose her basketball" (the kids get a paper basketball with their name on it put on the wall for the "Never Been Absent").  Needless to say I didn't dare mentioned that she missed crazy sock day too.

We enjoyed a great visit from a Bama friend this weekend and ran ourselves ragged - all the great restaurants, Austin and the zoo kept us busy.   I'll post pics soon!

Another week has flown by...

Another fun week has concluded.  Anna came to visit, a day trip to Austin, an Art reception for Mia (I'll upload pictures later - they are on Ben's phone) and finally Ben heading overseas for a business trip.  

Life is never dull that's for sure!

Dallas, Football and a Green Star

Friday we went up to Dallas to see Ben's cousin play football and to see his grandparents who were in town for the weekend.  It was a lovely visit.  I thoroughly enjoyed getting to watch a high school football game.  Oh and watching the Bama / Texas A&M game with a room full of Texans was fun too - nerve wracking but fun!

Mia is off to fantastic start to her week having brought home another green star!  We are sooo super proud of her!

Gammy and Papa come to visit!

We had an awesome visit with Ben's parents this past weekend.  We painted, swam, went to the Dallas World Aquarium, visited with Ben's Uncle and Aunt in Dallas and ate tons of amazing food.
