Super 30




The kids playing Super 30 (a game Phil made up when we were waiting for something) out in the yard with Phil one afternoon. Phil is such a great dad and does such a great job at making time for the kids. He has been super helpful during this pregnancy and now that I am on limited exercise he does a great job at getting the kids moving.

Jump for Heart


Lyla has been so excited about her Jump for Heart event at school. She has been practicing like crazy and went around with Nana and Boppa to the neighbors to get donations. She was the highest in the school for donations and jumped for an hour at school that day. She is able to go forward, backward, cross and double jump. She has also talked Cannon in to jumping with her. Super cute.

Cannon


This boy of mine is so amazing with all kids. Cannon can play with kids of all ages and make them feel important and help everyone have a good time. This is his cousin Henry who loves hanging out with Cannon. He thinks they are best of friends. This was eating lunch after Miya's dance festival.

Classroom Volunteer 2015




Such a great year helping out in Mrs. Toy's room with Lyla and her class. This was the last day I was there to help so we took a few selfies before I headed home. I love working with the kids struggling with math and seeing them work through a problem and finally get it. I also love being in the classroom with my kids and see how they interact with all their classmates. It is always great to get to know their teachers better. Mrs. Toy said that she could see Lyla owning her own company someday or being a famous actress (haven't heard that before about my other two kids).

Lyla getting her ears pierced 2015




Lyla wanted to get her ears pierced and I decided that I wanted to get my done again since they had grown in since high school. I went first and Lyla wasn't so sure after that. They had two people do it at the same time, but she cried pretty good after because it kept hurting. She has since let them grow back in because she couldn't stand taking them out for soccer games and putting them back in. She doesn't feel like she is missing out at all not having them pierced and no longer asks to go to Claires.
