april 11, 2014...also known as "Christmas"

Wow!!  Yesterday was MAGICAL!!

Michelle and Addie invited us to see Beauty and the Beast at a Frisco Middle School.  Michelle used to teach the girl who played "Belle" in the production.  Belle was unbelievable and the girls were so honored to meet her!!

Before the play Michelle suggested we take the girls to Sweet and Sassy to get all dolled up...let me just say, that was the BEST idea EVER!  Addie and Lexi took turns getting their hair and makeup done.  I don't have the words to explain how much they loved it!  They both had huge smiles the entire time and gazed endlessly in every mirror.  After hair and makeup they both had their nails done.  Michelle and I have never seen the girls that excited.  They were on top of the world.  Addie told Michelle today that yesterday was the best day of her life.  I believe Lexi felt the same way.  Lexi's reaction to Santa gifts on Christmas morning does not even compare to how she acted yesterday.  Thank you, Michelle and Addie for inviting us to the most magical Friday in Frisco (well, technically S+S is in Plano).   :)









AND...

Yesterday the Stars made the playoffs for the first time in SIX years!!  This is such a blessing to our family.  Jason works so hard and sadly, he misses so much (i.e. he hasn't been able to attend a soccer game OR even a practice yet).  The season is extended a little longer, but all the hard work from the Stars organization has paid off and that makes me happy.  Playoffs are exciting all around.  So, April 11, 2014 was basically the feeling of Christmas morning as a child for our lil' family and I will forever be grateful for this magical day.

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
