This month was a fun month. Evie and Mavery sporting their side braids to school.

We girls took a trip to Waco to visit MawMaw and PawPaw, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ron.

PawPaw helping the girls color on their chalkboards.

Olivia and PawPaw getting ready for the fish fry.

I managed to get no pictures of the women, but we got to see Aunt Debbie and Uncle Nick. Uncle Ron fixed us up a fabulous fish fry and the girls helped feed all the animals.

Beautiful sunrise.

Working on some legos.

Two Year Old temper-tantrum.

She's a pro at these.

We got some rain in September.

Can't tell we live in the desert from this picture.

Selfie with Daddy

We got to tour one of the Odessa ambulances in September. Thankfully, it was not for an emergency ride to the hospital. We delivered lunch from the church to the first responders in honor of 9-11 and they were so kind to let us tour the firehouse and the vehicles. The girls were having fun, but our tour was abruptly ended when the firemen were called out!

Ice Skating at the mall.

Jump! Jump! Jump! at the gymnastics place.

More jumping!

Mavery singing on stage for Sunday School.

September was fun. So glad that nobody turned 39 this month. Oh, wait... Mommy did!

That's why Olivia was crying!

August 2016

August was a fun end to summer vacation. We took a trip to Houston to see Grandma Susie and Pops.

We went to the jump-jump place where Mavery enjoyed mastering the obstacle courses

Evie and her Dad

While in Houston, we got to be a part of Mrs. Kelly's wedding. It was a beautiful event and the girls loved being flower girls.

July 2016

2016-09-25T22:11:00.002-05:00

No wonder I never get anything done....

We had our first ER trip in July. Olivia was playing in our friends' back yard in their baby pool, when Evie slipped and fell on her. She did something weird to her elbow and wouldn't use her arm. Oh, and she wouldn't stop screaming her head off. So, I call Dad, rush home and we check her out and decide it's ER worthy because she wouldn't calm down and use her arm. Turns out, her sweet little elbow was simply dislocated. She actually popped it back into place in the waiting room. This is her dancing around the exam room....making me feel like a first-time mom. Glad it was not anything serious though!

Happy Happy Painting.

Doing some shopping.

I. See. You.

I love her face in this picture. I told her if she smiled, we would go see her friend Natalie. So she immediately starts looking for "Na-ne".

Three little girls.

One little patriotic dress.

Be still my heart....

Happy Independence Day 2016

Having some fun at the park, on a hot July day.

I took them to the mall because it was too hot to do anything else. So they rode the carousel. At the end I told them to stand next to each other and act like they love each other. I don't see much love in this picture...

Water Day fun at summer school.

We met up with Mawmaw, Pawpaw and Aunt Sandy for a fun weekend in Abilene.

We visited the zoo!

Watching the baby flamingos.

Olivia's turn on the carousel.

It was hot,

but it was fun!

At the last minute, we decided to go to Junior High camp in Glorietta, NM. The girls had a lot of fun.

Having fun with the switch face app on the phone.

Hiking with mom.

Mavery found a baby lizard and played with it for a whole afternoon. She made it a home and gave it food. So cute...

Play ground time.

Rocking the shades!

Daddy took the older two on a hike to this really cool tree house.

I think they had fun, but I think it was lot of work!

We also spent a lot of time at the neighborhood pool this summer. It was very nice having this little gem just down the street!

A snuggly end to a good hot month of July!

Mavery's 5th Birthday!

2016-09-25T21:39:00.000-05:00

Mavery turned 5 this year! We were in San Antonio for her actual birthday on June 8th. So, we had to have some cake. Yum!

Maves chose to have her birthday party at the Pottery. We had some fun painting!

Evie and Ellie painting their masterpieces.

Little Miss Natalie painting her bear.

Enjoying some snacks.

Birthday Girl!

Make a wish!

Presents, their favorite part!

Mavery put her had print right next to Evie's. Sweet sisters!

Mavery is all about being 5 years old. She's excited about kindergarten. She's excited about being at the same school as Evie. I love seeing her individual little personality develop. She is the laid-back child that likes to be at home and likes to be with her family. But she also loves her friends at church and school. Mavery loves to color and draw. She loves to sing and hum and make up her own songs. We love her sweet spirit, her spunk and her creativity. My favorite thing from the past year is the dinner time prayer that she has "coined" for the family..."Dear God, we thank you for today. We thank you for our food and we pray that everyone gets better. In Jesus name we pray, Amen!"

I love that she prays every time for "everyone to get better", because lets face it... we can all be better at something!

I can't wait to see what the year ahead brings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAVERY LYNN!

June 2016

May 2016 - Las Vegas!

2016-08-06T22:23:00.000-05:00

We started off the month of May with a trip to Las Vegas to celebrate 10 years of marriage. The girls stayed in Odessa with Grandma and Pops.

We stayed at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. It was really cool!

This was at the top of the Eiffel Tower replica at night time.

This was our view of the Bellagio Hotel. We got to watch the fountains outside our window.

We went to see Reba in concert with Brooks and Dunn.

It was a really fantastic concert.

Overall it was a great trip!

Olivia was glad to see us when we got home.

Cookie Monster!

Silly Faces!

Sweet Faces!

Mommy took the girls fishing one Saturday in May. We had our bait, our barbie fishing poles and we were READY!

...and they lasted about 10 minutes. So we played at the park and then settled for a milkshake.

Mawmaw, Aunt Sandy and Aunt Erline at church on Mother's Day.

May was also the end of the school year for the girls. Mavery really enjoyed her field day and water day! Olivia enjoyed participating with big sister.

Evie's class took a field trip to the children's museum in Midland.

She was also in a mini-musical at school entitled Kitty Kat Capers. It was a cute little play and Evie did very well saying her lines.

Field Day at Evie's school where Mavery got to participate with big sister.

Evie's art display at the school art show.

May was a good month. We certainly packed a lot in. I think we're ready for a summer break!

April 2016

2016-06-21T21:44:00.000-05:00

Hello April!

We took a mini road trip to Lubbock over spring break.

We visited Fuzzy's Taco Shop, the Lubbock Arboretum and Dairy Queen.

Mavery started running a weird fever on the way up there and she was pretty miserable through lunch. But she perked up for the rest of the afternoon.

Who needs a double stroller??

Mike took Evie and Mavery to Ft. Davis on Friday. The had quite the adventure seeing the mountains and cooking lunch at the park.

Silly Face!

I scream, You scream...we ALL scream for ICE CREAM!

This one had an ear infection and stayed home with mom.

Evie's first grade class.

Evie participated in the color run at her school.

The preschool had a Road to Resurrection for the kids this year. It was a great event to help the kids learn about the meaning of easter. Mavery coloring her palm leaf, waiting for Jesus at the triumphal entry!

Jesus? Daddy? Wait! I'm confused!

Mike played the role of Jesus. What a resemblance!

The Triumphal Entry!

Selfie with Jesus!

We had a great time, and despite the fun we had with Mike's costume, it was very meaningful for the kiddos!

We hosted our first annual glow in the dark Easter Egg Hunt this year. It was a blast. The best part was making the kids wait until it was dark to go hunt the eggs. They were bursting with anticipation. We can't wait to do it again next year.

Easter Sunday!

We went to visit the duck pond after dinner on Easter Sunday. It was a fun way to end a great day celebrating our Risen Lord!

Evie's 7th Birthday!

2016-06-20T22:29:00.002-05:00

We celebrated Evie's 7th birthday at The Pottery. The kids had a great time picking out a piece of pottery and getting to paint it.

Evie's favorite part was getting to put her hand print on the wall in the party room.

Silly Face!

Olivia hung out with Mawmaw for a bit at the party. She sure wanted to paint, though!

In February, Evie celebrated her 7th birthday. They also celebrated the 100th day of school and here she is dressed as a 100 year old lady. My, she ages well!

These are our caterpillars. We got them in the mail.

These are the caterpillars turned into chrysalis

And these are the butterflies hatching from the chrysalis.

Yes, these creatures sat on the kitchen counter for about a month.

For the love of science!!

We had fun watching them morph and then setting them free in the back yard.

January 2016

2016-03-14T21:39:00.002-05:00

Happy New Year! Here's what we have been up to this January...

New Year means learning new chores! Putting the shopping bags in the bag holder has been the first "chore" for all of the girls. Olivia is doing a great job!

Mavery striking a pose before school.

Happy 35th Birthday Daddy!!

We enjoyed a lovely dinner and ice cream cake!

The girls' favorite thing to do outside...dig in the dirt.

And that's a wrap for January!

San Antonio

2016-03-14T21:28:00.001-05:00

We celebrated the new year in San Antonio with the Morrow side of the family. We got to see Mike's sister and family, but of course I didn't get any pictures of all the cousins together. Oops!

One day we went to the children's museum. The kids had a blast! The adults were exhausted afterward...

We also went to the caverns and Evie and Mommy did the zip line and ropes course. I was real proud of Evie that she didn't get scared when we got to the top!

Where did that ball go??

Gimme more root beer, Pops!

Ahhhhh! A Bear!

Enjoying some puffs and some grandma Susie.

Selfie in downtown San Antonio.

Sunday Morning Walk. Trying for some family photos...

Daddy camped in the third row of the van and watch Inside Out with the girls on the way home. Fun times!

Our three beautiful little senoritas.

Snow!

2016-03-14T21:12:00.003-05:00

The big snow of 2015. We got a nice powdery snow right before the new year. The "blizzard" delayed our trip to San Antonio...but we were able to drive instead of fly. I think Evie enjoyed the snow the most. She kept begging everyone to stay outside and play with her. Mavery got cold and Olivia didn't want anything to do with that weird white stuff on the ground!

Measuring at 6 inches. In some places, the drifts were about a foot deep. I was afraid we would loose Mavery in some places!

December 2015

2015-12-25T21:37:00.003-06:00

December! What a full month, but I suppose it is that way every year.

Evie has done very well with learning to read this year. We're super proud of her!

November 2015

2015-12-25T21:12:00.006-06:00

We had some fun in November. We also had some illnesses in November. We'll start with the fun!

Sister Snuggle Time

We also got to help serve a lunch for the first responders in Andrews, Tx. After the lunch, they took us on a ride in the fire truck.

Mavery thought the sirens were loud.

Evie "posing" on the ride around town.

Olivia was terrified the entire time!

Evie dressed up as a REAL firefighter!

And now we get to the not-so-fun. We started off this fall in September with hand-foot-mouth for Olivia and Mavery. Then we celebrated October with a round of strep throat.

This is Evie playing the Princess Jewel game with me one day she stayed home from school.

November was the month of stomach virus. It was a bad virus. In a matter of about 5 weeks, all three girls had the virus, Evie caught it twice and Mommy got it twice. We also shared the love with Uncle Ron and Grandma Susie. What a mess! That's why there are no pictures of Thanksgiving. Evie and Mommy came down with it while visiting Waco for Thanksgiving. I may forever refer to Thanksgiving 2015 as "pukesgiving".

Olivia getting ready for the trip to Waco.

And Evie sleeping away on the ride home from Waco.

Although it was rough Thanksgiving holiday, we are still very thankful that we got to see and spend time with family. We are very, very blessed!

Happy October and Halloween

Olivia - 12 Months Old!

2015-12-19T06:18:00.001-06:00

Olivia turned 12 months old on October 19. That's one whole year old!

She loves her bottle. She eats pretty good. And about 3 weeks after we moved, she started sleeping through the night!!!! That's big news! She also started walking on her own just before her birthday. She's got to keep up with those big sisters! All three girls started walking right around their first birthday. Let the fun begin guys!

Maw maw came for a few days and celebrated the 1 year old. She got to attend Muffins with Mom with us at Olivia and Mavery's school.

The "walker"!

Grandma Susie and Pops came to celebrate the 1 year old also! They got to go to the Pumpkin Patch with us.

Our littlest pumpkin.

She is a sweet and busy little girl!

Our New Home

2015-12-19T06:08:00.001-06:00

We got to move from our apartment to our new home at the end of September. It was super exciting. Here we are celebrating our first night in our house!!

11 Months - Olivia

2015-09-27T20:08:00.000-05:00

A little late, but here's Olivia's 11 month post. She brought in her 11th month much the same way she brought in her 10th month....with a fever, a virus and another tooth. Poor thing. She is doing much better now. She is trying really hard to walk and she has the bumps and bruises to prove it. She loves to play with her older sisters, walk with her walker and she enjoys the car much more these days. Olivia likes to eat cheese, pasta, chicken nuggets and apple sauce. She is doing better taking her bottles and she likes milk. She is not sleeping all night, but I think she will learn better sleep habits once she gets her very own room.

"Daddy, you don't scare me!"

Helping in the kitchen AND brushing my teeth. Such the multi-tasker!

Enjoying the nice fall-ish weather at the park.

Playing toys...everything goes in the mouth!

First Day of School

2015-09-07T20:51:00.002-05:00

The school year got off to a good start. Evie started first grade this year. FIRST grade! We can't believe it. She has been super excited and we are excited for her in this new adventure at the fine arts magnet school in Odessa. She really loves her teacher and so far she is doing really well!

Mavery started Pre-K this year at the church preschool. She is loving her class and her teacher. No tears so far this year for this big girl at drop off! Yeah! She is doing really well recognizing her ABCs and she is learning to write her name. Big stuff for Miss Mavery!

And Olivia started Mother's Day Out this year as well. She is doing good in her class two times a week. She is not good at taking a nap at school, but we are getting into a routine. With all of the drop-offs and pick-ups during the day, we have had to learn to adjust to being gone a lot during the day. But we are getting the hang of it!

On Friday, we celebrated the first week of school with an afternoon swim at the apartment pool. The girls had fun relaxing and chilling out in the bright sun!

But this little one stayed home with Daddy!

San Antonio

2015-08-27T21:29:00.002-05:00

We took one final end of summer trip to San Antonio with Grandma Susie and Pops. This was a fun trip because the girls have never been to San Antonio. It was a rough trip because Olivia was busy cutting teeth and fighting an ear infection. All in all though it was lots of fun and we left San Antonio with three tired girls, two worn out grandparents and two exhausted parents.

Having fun on the River Walk boat tour.

Mosiac art on the River Walk

Tall Building on the River Walk

Sunday Morning Walk on the River Walk

Girls standing in front of the Alamo.

The line to take your picture RIGHT in front of the Alamo was super long. It was hot, really hot. August in San Antonio hot. So we decided to take a picture of the Alamo from afar.

The girls were not so thrilled. Did I mention it was hot?

Evie striking a pose...on the River Walk.

Next we went to the San Antonio Childrens' Museum.

The girls really liked the Imagination Space Room

And a little bit of water play.

Then it was off to the Hyatt, were we stayed the remainder of the trip.

We had a playground right outside of our room, which was perfect for the girls.

We enjoyed the green water slide, which was a great size for the girls. Not too big, but not boring at all.

Mavery really enjoyed the kiddie pool because she didn't have to wear her floatie. Olivia enjoyed it also.

We did some arts and crafts in the mornings.

Evie really had fun learning the FlowRider. It's an uphill force of water that simulates a wave so you can surf. She did really good for one of the smaller participants.

Playing in the sand volley ball pit.

Riding bicycles

Olivia had a pretty rough time on vacation at night. She pretty much kept mommy and daddy up all night... each night... each night of vacation. The last morning, I finally just strapped her in the stroller at 6am and we walked and explored the property for an hour while everyone else slept. It was a fun time.

Checking out the rocking chairs on the porch.

Swing time!

Let's play!

Breakfast with the gang.

Then we worked on our golf swing.

After about two golf balls, Evie is convinced she is a golf pro.

My one golf swing.

I am convinced that I am NOT a golf pro!

Sleepy babies on the way home.

10 Months Old - Olivia

2015-08-27T19:46:00.001-05:00

Sweet baby Olivia is 10 months old. She celebrated her 10th month with a virus and ear infection...while we were on vacation in San Antonio. Poor baby.

Olivia is crawling everywhere and pulling up on everything. She does well with her push walker but she isn't standing on her own yet. She likes to eat applesauce and baby food from the pouches. She is saying "uh-oh" and the older sisters think it's hilarious.

Olivia does not sleep through the night. We continue to work on it though.

Summer travel to Waco

2015-08-13T10:19:00.000-05:00

After the last day of summer school, mommy and the girls took a road trip to Waco.

Evie at splash day with her buddy, Addi.

Mavery with her class at their Luau performance.

She loves singing Pearly Shells!

All loaded up and ready to ride!

The first 4 hours of the ride were not too bad. The last two hours were tough. Olivia was tired of her car seat and Mavery got car sick. Not fun at all when it's 102 outside. But we made it! It only took us about 6 1/2 hours and 72 repeats of hearing Shake It Off.

On Saturday we went to visit Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ron at The Other Place.

Playing with Gabby and Gizmo, the goats.

Finding eggs in the chicken coop.

Playing on the dirt pile!

We got to visit with Uncle Edwin and Aunt Erline!

We all enjoyed hot dogs and home made ice cream on the porch.

and the girls climbed the hay bail.

We headed back to Mawmaw and Pawpaw's house for an afternoon of rest.

Playing with George the cat.

Mavery being Mawmaw's helper in the kitchen.

Fryin' up some fish!

And more homemade ice cream to go along with it!

Trying to get a picture of all 3 girls in the rocking chairs...

And then the drive home...

French Fries at DQ in DeLeon, TX

Playing on the floor at McDonalds in Sweetwater. Nice...

We had a great time and we survived our first road trip with three kids. Yay! Hopefully, each time will get easier until we are professional road-trippers!
