Texas Longhorns

This year for Kindergarten, Kianna's teacher is Ms. Agbaji.  Mrs. Agbaji's daughter plays volleyball for the Texas Longhorns.  We decided to drive to Manhattan, Kansas one Saturday night to watch Orie Agbaji and her teammates play!  It was a fantastic night and the girls really got into the game!  Hook 'em Horns!

Gladfest Parade 2016

Every October, our family tries to attend the Gladdest Parade.  It's kind of annual tradition and has been since I was young.  This past parade was Gracie's first experience being in a parade and her Daddy rode with her.  Kianna and Natalie were in the parade, as well, and Aunt Steph dressed up as a hot dog!  This parade was also Hattie's first Gladfest Parade experience.  It was a perfect sunny day and her cute cheeks got Grandma and I lots of candy!

Fun at The Grove

When it's not cold and flu season, I like to take the kids to The Grove at Zona Rosa.  I took these two in September and they had a blast!

OP Cheer

Gracie and Kianna attended their first Oak Park Cheer Clinic in the fall.  The girls got to practice with REAL cheerleaders and perform at the Homecoming game.  It was so much fun for them.  Gracie said she might want to be a cheerleader when she grows up!  Hmmm....

Hattie was cheering, too!

Cottage Cheese Baby!

Since Hattie has been eating solid foods, she's always loved cottage cheese!  One day, Ryan, Hattie, and I dished up cottage cheese with our lunch and Gracie realized she was the only one without any.  She asked, "Hey?  Can I try some?"  Of course we let her and now she LOVES cottage cheese!  Sometimes Little Sis is peer pressure, I guess!

Lunch Time

Lunches are much quieter this year than last year.  The little girls giggle quite a bit, but two are so much less noise than four!  I'm so grateful to be able to spend so much time with these girls!

Cousin Movie Night

As the weather started to get cooler, Kyle, Kia, and Natalie came over for a cousin movie night.  All the big kids quite enjoyed watching Zootopia, but Hattie was all over the place!  She thought Bubby was a jungle gym!  I love that these 5 love each other!
