First Time Skiing!

Thursday morning, Madi went to Chick-fila for a bible study with Riley, Maisen, Brynlyn and Maygen! 

Then we checked her and Brynlyn out of school early so we could head to Ruidoso to ski! 

Madi's been asking to try skiing for a few years now, so we thought this week was a good time to try it out!

We decided to stay at the Inn of the Mountain Gods so we could enjoy the restaurants, pool and casino before and after the girls skiied!

We got up early on Friday and headed up the mountain. 

Dressed and ready!

Being fitted for skis! 

Ready for ski school!

We just watched and enjoyed a few drinks and snacks while they skiied!

Going up the ski lift . . .

They also had fun riding the gondola a few times. 

When they got tired we headed back down the mountain and into town to do a little shopping and eat dinner. 

But first, we had to stop at this beautiful look out point. 

This dress was so cute but Madi said she looked like a cupcake. :) 

Then we enjoyed the evening at the hotel then headed home Saturday morning. 

Madi was a big fan of skiing so I think we'll be back soon. 

Uncle Lefty's Birthday

Grandpa Mayberry traveled to Tulsa last weekend to surprise his brother (Uncle Lefty) for his 80th birthday! 

He said Uncle Lefty did a double take or two before realizing it was him!

My cousin Brit and his wife brought over a cake so they had it for breakfast!  :) 

He also got to see Brit and Dawn's son Kellen. 

He said they went to a movie, out to dinner and to the casino.  Sounds like a great time to me! 

Amarillo Volleyball Tournament

The last weekend in January we headed to Amarillo on Saturday for a volleyball tournament. 

First we escaped a trapped room in a cool warehouse in downtown Amarillo. 

Then we ate a yummy dinner at Taco's Garcia that everyone LOVED! 

The night ended with a quick dessert run and some card games! 

We were up early for volleyball on Sunday morning. 

The girls didn't play that well together and most just had off days but we still had fun watching them.

We have a few weeks off then it will be back to volleyball! 

What a Blur!

The last few weeks have been a blur! 

We had a volleyball-free weekend, so what did we do?  

Yep!  We went to watch our friends' kids play volleyball! 

Madi has a great group of new friends and one of them brought all the girls these cute personalized make up bags when they had a slumber party at our house two weekends ago. 

Still love having a chauffeur . . . 

We had a great meeting with our Snyder ISD district partners and Dean Mendez.  Doug was there too but skipped out for the picture. 

Madi and I wore red for NCL and Women's Heart Month!

Madi and Brynlyn went to Clay Cafe and Raising Canes for dinner last Friday night. 

Thought this was a funny pic of Riley and Brynlyn with a sliver of Madi on the side! 

January flew by, hope February is a little slower. 

 

More Volleyball!

Our lives consist of mostly volleyball right now!  And we love it! 

Can't wait for the rest of the season! 

 

Fun with Friends!

Last Saturday afternoon, we met up with the Norrises at a new pizza place. 

We had a family dinner Saturday night and played Phase 10.  The girls thought they needed lots of petting too!  

This past week everything needing fixed on our house was finally done!  We've lived in our house for two years this past Thursday.  Our garage doors are all finally one color! 

We hadn't seen the Renos or Devitts in a while so Wednesday we all met up for a quick happy hour! 

Friday night, Madi had six friends spend the night.  

Night swimming in January? How fun! 

I think they all had a great time!
