All the Valentines!

 

These two enjoyed a dad-daughter date night last Tuesday while I hosted our Sunday School class's favorite things party! 
We had a great turn out at the party and all left with a few new favorite things! 
Madi made us these beautiful flowers in her floral design class!
We hosted emergent bilingual students from rural districts around Lubbock last Thursday.  I love that we are hopefully encouraging more students to become bilingual teachers!
We had some free time on Thursday so we met up with the Foleys before dinner!  Always a good time!

Love seeing Madi's pictures on the Youth's social media pages. 

Valentine's Day morning, Madi had a few fun things left for her!
I also sent the cousins a few Valentine's so they sent me a thank you pic! 
Madi bought the cutest card for Hunter! Can't wait until he sees it. 
Madi didn't have school on Friday so we went and got our nails done together. 
Then Madi made strawberry cookies for the cousins since they are coming to stay this weekend. 

Friday, we had to meet up with the Norrises before all the crazy family fun began!
And I just love Katy's Valentine shirt going 20 years strong!
Thankfully, we were home in time to see Hunter pick Madi up for their Valentine's dinner!
He always brings the most beautiful flowers!
Opening his card . . . 


I think he liked it!
Off to dinner!  Man, are they gorgeous! 
Saturday, we braved the cold and wind and went to watch Hunter's alumni game. Tuck joined since he was going to spend the day with Kelby that also goes to New Home with Hunter. 
We weren't able to join Shelle, Cody, Tim and Morgan for happy hour but had them all over for dinner Saturday night!
Madi taught Leighton how to play a little piano!
Sunday was church, relaxing, and laundry time! 
Then Monday, I went with Madi to watch Hunter's first game of the season (beside scrimmages, etc.).  It was a little windy but we were more prepared this time!
They run-ruled the other team by the second inning but had to play to the 5th before the game could end. 
It was fun cheering on our favorite #2!

Baseball & Super Bowl!

Madi has quite the perfume collection and has been wanting shelves to display them all. 
We found these online and thought they were perfect! 
That night we celebrated by getting snacks at the store after dinner.  We found one of Madi's favorite snacks lately!
Saturday morning we went and watched Hunter's first scrimmage.  
The weather was beautiful! 
Hunter's cheering section! He played great!
We met Hunter's family and went to a late lunch with them after the game. So, dinner that night was late and not too heavy. 
Hunter joined us and humored Madi's crazy idea to put raspberries on her fingers. ????

Sunday we went to lunch with our small group after church, then had an NCL meeting then got ready for the Super Bowl.  Well, Madi did.  She hosted her friends for a Galentine's Party while watching the Super Bowl. 
They had quite the spread of food! Matt and I went to a restaurant and watched most of the game then visited the Foleys before heading home. 
It wasn't much of a game, but still a fun evening!

New Car!

I got a new car back in August but my personalized license plates finally came in the first part of February.  Sherre with 3s since we're a family of 3!
I loved this car when I saw a similar one years ago.  Never thought it was a possibility since it's a 2 seater.  But Matt said drive it while you can! So, I'm enjoying it for now! Pretty soon we won't be able to get in and out of it very easily. :) 





I love how it looked before but even better with the trim around it.  Matt said it needed it to be more secure so it's a win-win! 
Sent Tuck and Maci a Valentine's Day gift but had them open it early so Maci could wear her Valentine PJs all month long!


Borrowed Madi's red pants and got lots of compliments! 
Love her snaps and her big hair!
We celebrated Jeromy's birthday last night with drinks and dinner at F&B. 
We had a great time with great friends!
