Ice Challenge, Vegas!, & Spring League

Madi and Hunter were nominated to complete the ice bucket challenge for mental health awareness. 


So, of course, Hunter nominated me!  :) 
I felt like a dork but had to oblige! 
We snuck away with the Norrises mid-week last week to celebrate the end of tax season!  Sure love riding to the hotel in style!
We tried dinner at Barry's in Circa.  It was good but nothing amazing.
Had to send a pic of Matt's fit to Madi since the Stars are in the playoffs and played while we were there!
Up early ready for our day! 
We saw these empty self driving taxis all over town.  Soon they'll have actual passengers! 
We escaped! 
Dinner at Eureka was so good!  Jeromy's dad joined him for some of the trip and had a blast.

Downtown is so fun at night!

Enjoyed a little shopping and gambling while we were there too!
Ended our last night with shakes from Victory Burger! Mine was Captain Crunch and so yummy!
While we were gone, Hunter and his family were so nice to include Madi in their dinners and activities.  They went to Brass tap, his game, played games and had steak after church on Sunday. 
They also enjoyed a pedicure for prom this weekend!
Never surprised to see beautiful flowers now.  So sweet! 
 Monday night was the first night of spring league. It's just a fun event LCISD puts on but it's always fun to watch especially since Madi didn't play club season this year. 
It's hard to see her behind the net but it shows she's still got her jumping skills blocking that ball! 
We didn't record and of course she had quite a few amazing kills so I told Matt to record and she had one right away! 
After they played 3 games, they also have to ref.  Usually she keeps the books so I had to get proof of her reffing! 
We are exciting for the real season to start in August!

Easter 2025!

We always love taking a family picture at church every Easter!


We also took pictures at home!



We didn't have a big Easter celebration planned so we decided to make a big breakfast Sunday mid-morning. 
Grandpa and Uncle Rod joined us for breakfast too! 
Sunday evening, Madi went to dinner at Hunter's house but before I said they had to come do their Easter egg hunt.  They were good sports! 




They are definitely competitive! 
I think they loved the candy, cash and lotto tickets!

End of Tax Season Celebration!

 

Last Wednesday night, Madi had the NHS ceremony to induct the new Sophomore members.  As a NHS officer, she had to speak and read names. 

We love to watch the progress of our plants!
Madi now has off season volleyball at school and they made this cute video!



Friday night we celebrated the end of tax season with a shrimp boil and swimming (heated, of course!) with the Norrises!

They wanted to race and asked us to officiate!


Madi won but barely!  All that swim team paid off!

At the end of the night, we had a fun time just visiting with the girls. 

Saturday night, Madi went to Chayce's birthday party!  They had dinner then took cute pictures since they were all dressed up!








Looks like a fun time!
