Back Home!

 Biscuit was settling in nicely to our family her first night!  She knew Noodle was the one to curl up with to take a nap.

 Sunday after church I headed to the airport to spend the week in Tampa and Madi went to her Aunt Shelle's house since they had Monday off of school.  They had a picnic at the park and played all day. 

 Tuesday

 We try to Facetime every morning over breakfast when I'm out of town.  It was fun seeing Biscuit too. 

 She loves giving kisses!

 Wednesday - I left gifts again this week and this time I was smart and left cute little outfits I found on sale at Old Navy!

 It rained on us in Tampa little during the middle of the week.  But it was still 80 degrees and beautiful!

 Wednesday night at church before class!

 Thursday

 Sure wished I could have joined these two for family movie night!

 Friday - Madi cashed in all her Dojo points and brought a fuzzy buddy to school and her phone to show pictures of Biscuit to her friends.

 Friday I left cute little bunny earrings. 

 My ride to the airport Friday afternoon was a nice way to end the week!

 Aunt Shelle sent this picture of Elora and Kiran playing with Maci.  Sure love that I get to spend time with my cousin's kids often!

 Friday night puppy pile on the couch!  It's blurry but Biscuit is laying on her back against Noodle!

 Saturday we went and cheered on Tucker and Tripp while Daddy did tax returns.  

Tripp's #4 in the air!

  He's growing up so fast!

 Sweet friends and cousins!

 We went to lunch with Grandma Mayberry and Grandma B then Maci wanted to come to our house and meet Biscuit.

 She thinks Biscuit is her baby.  :)

I love my job and even the traveling part but I REALLY love coming home to these two!

Meet Biscuit!

 Yes, we are crazy!  But this sweet 3 pound girl needed a home.

Meet Biscuit!  We may call her Bizzy for short because she's already keeping us busy!

 I think it's safe to say Madi loves Biscuit and the feeling is mutual.

 It was time to introduce Biscuit to the other girls . . .

 She makes the other three look huge!

 She even makes Noodle look huge and Noodle weighs about 3.75 pounds herself.

 She looks just like GV with her color and markings but has Noodle's size and shape.

 She already fits right in.

 She loves to follow and watch the other dogs.  Thankfully, that has helped in the potty training department already.

Biscuit, welcome to our family!  We already love you!

Rush!

 Saturday morning, we went shopping for some new tennis shoes.  We definitely found some colorful ones!

 Then we went to watch Tucker play basketball with his team Rush! 

 The neatest part is that Morgan and her boyfriend Taylor are the coaches.

 Tucker is awesome at basketball and made at least 8 points.

 These two sure had fun buying popcorn, playing, . . . I mean watching Tucker!

 Cutest thing to see them all in a huddle and Morgan as their coach.

She is so good with them.  I can't wait to see what she does next!

Valentine's Day

 Last Friday night, we got the telescope out to see the lunar eclipse. 

 It was a beautiful night to spend outdoors.

 Saturday morning, we enjoyed a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Heider.  Of course, Cracker Barrel was the place to go then we walked around Toys R Us.

 That afternoon we met the cousins at a park since it was so beautiful outside.  That evening Devyn spent the night with Madi. It was the first time we had a friend spend the night and not just a cousin.  They swam in the hot tub, made cookies and had a great time!

 Monday

 Grandma Mayberry came over Monday afternoon and gave Madi a chocolate Valentine treat.

 Tuesday morning face - she loves a good scavenger hunt so I hid a few clues on hearts for her to find.

 It ended with some fun invisible ink pens to write secret messages!

 Off to school for Valentine's Day!

 Grandma came to help at Madi's class party.

 We had four stations for the kids to enjoy.

 One was a photo booth with fun props!

  Grandma called bingo using conversation hearts as the counters.

 I led the heart toss game that they seemed to love!

 And there was also pin the heart on the fox.

 All were a hit!

 Tuesday evening we had a candle lit dinner at home just the three of us. 

Madi's class - Mrs. Lance and Ms. Jones (student teacher)

 We had Madi's favorite - Lammers taters, steak and shrimp for us!  We watched Finding Dory as a family too by the fire.

 Wednesday

 Thursday

 Love watching her dive at swim!

 Friday

 Mrs. Lance posted cute pictures of the students learning about 3-dimensional shapes.

 Friday afternoon we went on a bike ride and stopped at Cup of Yo for a treat!

 While Daddy was grilling ribs Madi wanted to climb the tree.

Thankfully, she made it down safe and sound!
